i know, but not to the extent that she's mother nature...
and this is superman... storm isnt hurting him... she's not at that level, if she was she wouldn't need the x-men...
well imo she could take many people w/ out the x-men but a lot of the x-men could go solo. the fact that she stays is cause they are a family. maybe she can't hurt him much, though not that it would matter much. i have another thing to say bit not sure how others will react to the idea. well.... this isn't it but what would wrappping him in an electromagnetic field do?? could she give him a heart attack or would his shield prevent that??

lol...
the x-men need each other, they couldnt survive without each other... they couldn't take down half the enemies they fight without each other...
i've said it before... the x-men are more than the sum of their parts... the make up for each others weaknesses, they compliment each other...
i cant believe your entertaining the idea that a standard x-man could take arguably the strongest member of the jla...

Being on a team does not = weak
Supes has a team...
And Supes is vulnerable to electricity as well as prep time.
Just ask Batman...
X-Men would win.
Cerebro does come in a portable size, you know, and Charles and/or Emma doesn't have to be on the battlefield to fight. They could quietly mindrape Supes from a basement and he'd never know.
They do have a week of prep and info of Supes in this scenario after all.
Yeah, and the thread originator stated that the X-Men have a week of prep and Lex Luthor's Supes files. I'm sure it would include his weaknesses, and Hank Mccoy is no slouch in the brains department. Batman has him on the detective skills, but as a scientist Beast is only 1 or 2 steps behind. Not to mention the X-men have Shiar Tech.
A week is enough time.
X-Men win
I also find it funny how people DOWNPLAY Storm's powers. You guys may want to familiarize with a phenomona called chain lightning. The Earth's atmosphere can generate immense amounts of electricty...

yeah but they are no where near as good as the Batman is at using preptime nor do they know Supes as well as he does. plus that was the entire metropolis electrical grid.
Opinion.
The X-Men are great at using prep-time. Ever heard of the the War Room, or the Danger Room? They are probably better at using prep time than Batman.

They could be anywhere on earth. Anywhere on earth. Supes' microscopic vision, plus his x-ray vision, will pinpoint their exact location. From there, it takes him less then a second to reach them, and still less then that second to take them out.
Even if they hide behind a lead-lined fortress, Supes has his other super-senses to tell him where the mental emanations are coming from.
Also, don't think he's any slouch in the mental department either. Superman has been trained in Torquasm Rao, the Kryptonian Martial arts that emphasize fighting on a higher mental plane. He'd only have to resist Professor X and the White Queen for the scant moments it took him to HEAR THEIR BREATHING.

Please dont be ridiculous. How old are u? Please read some comics.
Beast and Professor X aren't exactly remedial level thinkers, you know.
A week of prep and files on the opponent supplied by the targets arch-nemesis, and I'm sure they could come up with something.
Let's see, Beast, Professor X, Shiar Tech, a week of prep against Supes, and Lex Luthor providing info on Supes for them to work with to kill him...
Hmm...
Beast would create emitters that would release a field of synthetic kryptonite radiaton and red sunlight to weaken Supes when he gets in close proximity to the X-Men. using concealed emitters with say a 50 yard radius that Beast would wear, and also have units planted near where they planned to confront Supes Also, he could create synthetic kryptonite (Batman did), make it into a powdered form, and give it to Storm, who in turn will create a thunderstorm and seed the stormclouds with the kryptonite which would polarize the kryptonite particles and create a type of kryptonite acid rain over the battlefield when the confrontation begins (Storm would not be on the frontlines, this would be a subversive, covert attack. She'd create the storm front from a distance, quietly, having the storm roll into town like a natural occurence, and Iceman would be with her).
Cyclops, NC, Beast (with emitters on his person and planted around the battlefield), and Wolverine should be the first to engage combat with Supes, luring him to the center of the highly populated city of Quebec by having Beast and NC scare civilians in Downtown assuming the boyscout won't go all out around civilians (neither would the X-Men, but I'm assuming they are villains in this scenario since they are hired assassins).
Supes will come in and try to talk (as usual) while the other team members prepare to enact the plan without speaking since Professor X can coordinate everything telepathically from Cerebro.
[Considering that this thread specifies that Luthor commissioned the X-men, I'm assuming the X-Men would initiate combat (i.e., call Supes out).]
As Superman speaks it begins to lightly rain, increasing in intensity as he continues his speach and time goes by. Wolverine insults Supes and calls him a "Tights wearin Mam's boy", and unsheaths his claws just as the downpour has reached sheets of rain (Acid rain laced with polarized kryptonite and accompanied by Iceman who has intermixed with the rain in liquid form). Professor X covertly switches on the array of emitters from there base of operations as Wolverine rushes Supes, who stands there in his usual "You can't hurt me little man" pose, not knowing he's bathing in kryptonite from the rainfall and radiation emitters that are bombarding the area in red sun light and sythesized kryptonite radiation. Logan's first slash does nothing, but then his second slashes the S on Supes chest. Supes looks down and is bewildered.
At that moment, Professor X and Emma assault his mind using enhanced portable Cerebros from a lead laced basement at the outskirts of Quebec when Supes is beginning to weaken. Wolverine keeps up the assault on the distracted Kal El, slashing away but not doing much damage at all. Iceman (in liquid form and not visible since he came with the rain fall) encases Supes legs in ice and he falls down, and then Cyke and Beast move in to quadruple team Supes with close range exposure to the emitter on Beast's person. As Supes weakens further from the radiatioon exposure, Iceman (still not visible) encases more of his body in ice, then the X-Men fall back as Storm (with targetting being relayed telepathically, no talking) directs chain lightning into the weakened Supes water drenched and ice covered body, helping conduct even more of the electrical current through his body.
Supes lays there smoking and tattered, drenched in red sunlight rays and kryptonite, his mind filled with illusions of his first battle with Doomsday (in the Lex files) and Lois Lane being tortured on Apokolips, calling for him as he lays powerless to help her. He screams and writhes in agony as Logan and Beast wqith his emitter move back in for the final blow on the weakened Kryptonian.
"Goodnight bub..."

Game over.
