I think it woud be close, but would come down to strange v SS.
Superman would be defeated by stranges magic .
X is a cripple, so cant fight, and would be killed by supes before he could think to use his powers.
Strange eventually beats SS (ss has greater technical power, but his power is useless against the subtaties of stranges magic)
If this is a first time meeting or a no prep fight. And I am sure it is. You have to give it to xavier. Maybe even strange. because xavier telepathy is alway on, and strange is paranoid. The other two aren't as vulnerable so they would never worry about an invalid and a strangely dressed human. Everyone who has read marvel and follows the x-men knows that if xavier really wants to mess with your mind he can and he will. He stopped an alien invasion force. He birthed on of the most powerful beings in marvel. Legion and Onslaught. because he has scruples doesn't make him weak. Yeah supes, silver and strange can resist the elaborate stuff, butt he doesn't have to be elaborate. He can tell strange that there is no fight and no danger go home and take a bath, and direct him to the nearest active volcano. He can tell the surfer he must save zenn-la and his people from his former master Galactus. Galactus would of course hand the surfer his head. And he can tell superman that he is holding green kryptonite in his hand. Gorilla Grodd did this same thing to superman when the JLA was offering him membership. Batman chewed him out for rushing in against a powerful telepath and putting everybody at risk. I suppose now he can probably resist telepathy. They are always giving him new powers. But I have seen him mind control to many times to believe this.
Oh and about that moving faster than thought. unless they have completely erased the laws of physics in dc. Everyone has to accelerate we all (unless we are certain particles that are constantly moving like photons and electrons) start out at 0 mps. Since the brain consist of nuerons that act as a bridge for electrical impulses (thus no need for acceleration), that moving faster than thought really ain't true.
😆 yeah what were thinking ebonyblade? but seriously in comics, and handful of heros are known to travel "faster than the speed of thought," but since telepaths are the best thinkers, im assuming they also have faster thought than most people. so i'm still undecided.
it appears everyone else is too. normally in a 4-way match up its narrowed down to 2 but no once can even do that, so. . . 🙂
'did surfer and strange ever bumb heads? i know they worked together in the defenders but did they ever actually fight?"
i don't know if they fougth but it seem to me that he knows that surfer is a greater force than himself.
He said to surfer to keep a eye on thanos and stop him if he does something fishy. He said that his the only one with the power to do so.
that's show how he feels about surfer , and reconizes his power are even beyond his own.
well i think thats because surfer's power is on a cosmic level. he is definately one of the most cosmically powerful beings in the universe. i think he meant a sorcerer, even if it is sorcerer supreme, doesnt even know where to begin to take on a cosmic demi-god. the only thing is that there arent very many superpowerful mystical characters in comics. when you climb the levels of characters in terms of power, it gets more and more space-like and cosmic. strange is the most powerful mystical characters i can think of and he's no match for characters like thanos or darksied. by comparison ss has taken out more powerful dudes but it think that's because there arent any opponants on that level that strange would know how to deal with. if they created a wizard as powerful as thanos then strange would have a much better rep.

Maybe, if when the battle starts Supes, Strange, and Surfer just stand there staring at eachother like idiots for a couple seconds. Xavier doesn't just put down powerhouses like these three as easy as he breathes. If Superman doesn't take him out, Surfer will. And I'm not sure but Surfer doesn't seem like the type to be affected by telepathy in the first place.
