well team 3 has Thanos and we all know what he can do. Team one has Batman and Ironman and Brainiac. With all of the preptime needed I say Batman and IMs money and witts are gonna give them the win.

Team 1 has too many people. They would all agrue with each other. They're out. Team 2 has Richards and Doom. Working together. Please?! Doom would backstab all of them. Then he'd be backstabbed by Luthor. So I say Team 3 Wins
Team 1 wins easily if no one is backstabbing. All of them are way above average intelligence with the exception of Hulk, which could be argued that if it's professor Hulk who is up there with the smartest, they would win hands hard with the amount of great minds on the jobs, I don't see them losing.
I'd say that by the time Luthor comes up with a plan to deal with Doom, Doom would've already taken him out a second later.
And yeah, some of these teams are WAY lopsided. There's one large tema that's all tech, then a team that's tech AND magic, and another team with tech, some magic, the power cosmic, AND celestial tech.
Interesting thread, Krissy. Once again you come up with something that forces me to think. I like Drac's comment-hysterical...Team 2 backstabbing each other. I need to think this one out.
...can't help but see Thanos down there and notice he'd swat some of Team 1 & 2 members like flies, prep time or not. Let's not forget, when it comes to brains, Thanos is no dumbass either.
It's a fight with prep... which team would best chance to take out the other teams...
Team 1 obviously has numbers so they have a chance... plus the resources of Ironman and Magneto... the ingenuity of Forge... Batman's strategy... and the power of Hulk... and a few others
Team 2 has Reed and Doom working together... plus the magic of Strange... and the resources of Doom, Kang and Luthor
Team 3 has the advanced tech of Apocalypse... the resources of Thanos and the diabolical mind of Warlock
I think Celestial tech at the hands of Thanos with one day prep time would win the day. Although Doom and Reed creating an army of modified doombots, magically shielded and with the advanced tech of Kang would be hard to take down. For all of Team 1's numbers, I think Batman as a strategist pales in comparison to the Reed/Doom and Warlock/Thanos combination, so I think they'd lose in any scenario.
He's several millions of years old, have outwitted Marvel heroes countless times, and would be help by the only dude who have ever outwitted him: Adam Warlock.
Team 1. Forge`s intuition with tech plus Magneto`s ability to assemble machines in no time plus Xavier mindlinking everyone is incredibly dangerous in a short prep scenario. Xavier can also shut down Banner and turn him into Mindless Hulk.
