Invasion gauntlet: Sci-fi vs Superheroes.

An invasion force composing of:

millions upon millions of Arachnids (Starship Trooper) mixed complement (similar makeup as the Klendathu invasion, has brain bug, god bug and queen controlling them as well)
100,000 Xenomorphs (Aliens)
50,000 Martians (Mars Attacks! 1996)
5,000 Predators (Predator)
300 Martian ships (Mars Attacks! 1996)
100 Tripods (War of the Worlds)
10 category 5 Kaiju (Pacific Rim)
1 Mothership (Independence Day: Resurgence) with full complement of ships/troops/etc.

Runs the gauntlet:
ALL characters (villains and heroes) join together to fight off the invasion. No outside help is provided. Only the characters based in the worlds are the only ones allowed. No prep. BUT they are allowed to send a delaying force to fight off the invasion force as they try and build something. Characters who died in movies are considered alive for this battle.

All "plot devices" victory paths are removed (no virus can kill the Tripods, no computer virus is going to hack the Mothership, no time travel shenanigans, etc).

1) DCEU Earth
2) MCU Earth
3) MCU Earth and Asgard
4) MCU Earth, Asgard and the Nine Realms (includes Surtur, Frost Giants, Dark Elves, etc).
5) DCEU and MCU Earth, Asgard and the Nine Realms
6) DCEU, MCU Earth, Asgard, the Nine Realms and CW DC TV series Earth.
7) DCEU, MCU, Asgard, the Nine Realms, CW DC TV series Earth and X-men Earth.
8) DCEU, MCU, Asgard, the Nine Realms, CW DC TV series Earth and X-men Earth (future Sentinels allowed).
9) DCEU, MCU, Asgard, the Nine Realms, CW DC TV series Earth and X-men Earth (future Sentinels allowed) and Fantastic Four Earth (Surfer allowed, no Galctus).
10) All of the above plus Reeves Superman and Smallville Superman.
11) All of the above plus Thanos and his forces and the Infinity gauntlet.

Fight happens in our version of Earth. Comic universe teams are teleported to the surface of our planet and all inhabitants are placed in hundreds of thousands of bunkers similar to those in Pacific Rim.

Bear in mind the invasion force wins when the entire planet has been subjugated or if the entire population is killed.

Defending force is made aware of the invading force as they approach the Earth's moon. Defending force is assumed willing to work together and are battle-ready. Best version of characters allowed.

How far does the invasion force get?

Gotta lean towards the Comic Book Side to win the majority of this. Only challenge I could see is how well the Aliens (Martians Tripods/ID4 ) shield technology and Blasters effect the higher rank heroes.

I'd need to read in more detail to comment individually. But, right off the bat, pretty sure everyone you listed will be able to detect the enormous, planetoid-sized ID mothership before it's literally right on top of them... Unlike the massively incompetent twats from the actual film. Which will give them a hell of a lot more prep than the guys in the film had. And they still managed to win the day IIRC, with just people. Not a whole roster of heroes and everything they can bring to the table.

I know the Earth guys in the film technically had years of prep, but it sucked. Whoopie, they built space lasers. Doesn't mean anything if their scanning equipment is so garbage they can't detect something that large coming at them until it's too late.

What I actually see as being kind of a bastard to deal with are the Xenomorphs, especially if Facehuggers are allowed. That can turn into a nightmare infestation very quickly if they manage to spread among the populace.

Bear in mind this is not a "kill the heroes" gauntlet. Heroes lose once Earth's (our Earth) population is either fully subjugated or killed. Since it is practically impossible to kill every last human, let's say around 99.999% casualty rate?

How? They only got like what? More or less 20 superhumans maybe?

How are they stopping the invasion force of literally millions before they wipe out humanity?

What would you say is the big "stopper" here? Independence aliens would number in the millions, ships in the thousands. What in the nine realms would be able to deal enough damage to those kinds of numbers?

So, are facehuggers on the table, or are the xenomorphs limited to their starting numbers?

Not that dealing with 100,000 of them, on top of everything else, would be easy to do already. But 100,000 could potentially grow to millions in not that much time if they spread and can reproduce.

The Asgardian troupes on their own should already number in the hundreds of thousands. Ditto for frost giants and dark elves. MCU earth has SHIELD, HYDRA and Wakanda. Unleashing the bifrost would decimate those ships while they're still in the air. The Asgardian and Dark elf technology should be sufficient to take on the alien technology as well. Surtur at full power should be powerful enough to take on any of the Kaiju. And each of the Frost giants and Asgardians should be individually more powerful than the alien ground troops.

In the end it's the combination of Asgardian, Dark elven, SHIELD, HYDRA and Wakandan technology that made me pick #4 as the stoppage. That's not even taking into consideration individuals like Dr. Strange, Thor, The Ancient one, Odin, Hela, Wanda, IM, Kure, Hulk, etc. Majority of those guys can take out thousands of the enemy individually. Is Ego and Dormamu allowed here?

I just had a thought. CW-verse is included. So, does the Flash get a "Run, Barry, run!" pep-talk beforehand or not? stick out tongue

Most of the Asgardian forces are ground-bound though. Dark Elf ships were pretty impressive but were also slow (were they even shielded? I can't recall) and I don't think number enough to make a difference vs the massive alien fighter complement.

Don't forget Martians were a pretty advanced. They were able to suck a nuclear explosion into a bong so any powerful bomb would be out of the question.

Can't remember the rainbow Bifrost being weaponized against moving targets though (tho it will probably mess up the mothership).

I'm trying to remember, didn't the mother ship have some sort of main gun? Not sure as the movie didn't really make that much of an impression on me lol.

No Ego or Dormmy (as they aren't based on MCU Earth).

If the invasion force makes it that far, sure. :P characters (after all) are assumed to be at their best.

Def facehuggers. Consider the xeno force as a full complement indicative of the numbers involved. W/c means multiple queens as well. Laying them eggzz.

Welp, that's going to be a horrifying prospect to deal with then, on top of everything else. Good thing you allowed Barry his trump card then, lol. Pep-talked Flash is damn near unbeatable.

Godzilla is too hard to debate with, too many showings of just wonky stuff. stick out tongue (Godzilla-karate for one).

As for Pacific rim....

Guys, bear in mind that the invasion fleet's goal is NOT to beat the superhumans but to kill humanity (us, essentially). W/c means they would mosty likely spread out to accomplish their goals and avoid fighting in areas where they would be at a disadvantage (a ground war vs the Asgardians is something they would avoid for example) when they can. They also would likely not group up vs the likes of Surtur (to avoid getting wiped).

Wait... I just read this happens on our Earth. Fight never happens. Heroes get shamed for having "unrealistic" body types and leave, feeling self-conscious. We all then get eaten by aliens.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Sorry, couldn't resist.
