Xavier and maybe Cap. Xavier could probably mentally override the ring and Cap is altruistic to the point that he's almost worthy of wielding Mjolnir so he would probably have willpower enough to resist its lure
Asides from Xavier and Cap for reasons already mentioned, I feel like Thor if written right has a good chance due to him being so darn old.
But to be honest, I think Loki has the best chance. He's already evil by default so not sure how much more sinister the ring can make him, plus all his magical and arcane training should prepare him for the magic of the ring.
Lomi and Hellboy are the two closest in nature to the ring as they are already inherently evil so maybe the pull.would be less? More? Who knows.
Thor, Xavier, Superman are all above this level in my oppinion anyway. Bruce Banner might succumb to evil but I think the Hulk part would actually fight against the rings influence.
Thor is an arrogant prick, he'd succumb quickly; also people that are evil would still serve the ring, it would make them do what it wanted regardless of allegiance
Loki's staff was also effecting Cap, who you listed as being able to resist the ring because he is "altruistic to the point that he's almost worthy of wielding Mjolnir"
So how does almost being worthy enough to lift Mjolnir allow him to resist, but Thor who is worthy cannot?

even as the staff was affecting cap he was still on his high horse, being morally righteous; chastising tony for being selfish and shield for being shady. There is huge potential in there for him to succumb for sure but I think his moral stance in general gives him a better shot at resisting than most on the list mentioned. Thor was a jackass who got humbled by his dad, he adjusted his attitude to become worthy but clearly his true feelings were more in line with his original portrayal in the first Thor as evidenced by his outbursts while influenced by the staff
Thor, like Cap was also on his "high horse" when effected by the staff, hence his comments about them being petty, none of this changes the fact that you used Cap almost being worthy as a reason for him being able to resist the ring, while at the same time saying that Thor couldn't resist, even though he is more worthy than Cap.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
