Rhino, put him on the other team and he'd kill his own teammates when they are not expecting it.

Our world's military? Or the MU?

If it's our world:

Invisible Woman could definitely be used for spying, black ops, assassinations, and other assorted espionage. Even if she got caught, she's well equipped to fight her way out of many situations against conventional weapons, until she can go invisible again and escape. She has deadly limited range attacks and can kill instantly and undetectably from a distance. But aside from that the military would no doubt study how her invisibility powers work to see if they can mimic the effect and apply it to other people and objects.

Colossus could be useful as a weapon in some battlefield scenarios. He really could just wade into a fight and take out everything from enemy soldiers up to tanks, without huge trouble. He's probably immune to biological, chemical and radioactive attacks (not nukes). But he is still limited - he operates on a small scale, isn't fast without transport, and has no range attacks. And the enemy aren't stupid - they would learn to avoid him, and perhaps eventually even damage or disable him. Ultimately the military already has weapons that can cause more damage than he can. Not as useful as he first seems.

Blob doesn't offer much else than Colossus does, except that he's slower, weaker(?), less intelligent, and perhaps less resilient and more vulnerable to chemical, bio, radioactive, gas weapons etc. And he would eat all the damn food in the camp.

Rhino is too stupid to be of much use. Besides he doesn't offer much that Blob and Colossus can't, other than perhaps speed, and shares Blob's weaknesses. The enemy might even trick him into fighting for them.

Captain America would have limited use in the real world if he is operating under real world peak human (or slightly above peak human) levels. He would simply get killed running around fighting in a place like Afghanistan with just a shield, a gaudy costume, and no guns. As a propaganda symbol he also probably wouldn't go down well either, except perhaps in the USA. He might have a place as a regular soldier or trainer but still no great advantage.

Angel would be for good target practice.


Overall I'd go with IW then Colossus.

Plus what do you mean by "use" at first I thought about researching their powers and "copy paste" them on normal soldiers.

1) sue. her invisibility power is a huge asset, doesn't need explanation.


2) rhino. his suit's hide and chemical enhancement will be a huge asset to organizations like DARPA and all those weapons/armour manufacturers. they'd dissect the shit out of him.

3) (in far third) captain america. moral support, black-ops missions, etc

4) all the rest cause they're not very viable aside from being hot dropped into combat

I have a question where IW is concerned... Does her invisibility also mask her body heat? If so, then she would definitely be an excellent infiltrator. If not then there is a very good chance that she would be picked off miles before even reaching her target, via thermal imaging cameras.

Imo, either Cap or Colossus would be the best overall choices. Rhino is WAY too stupid.
