Superman could very well win, but the X-Men still have a chance.
Actually the very act of debating a matchup between the X-men and Superman indicates one thing .....an OVERestimation of X-men abilities.
This is actually an overestimation of their abilities not an underestimation of them.
Why?
Because Superman is simply beyond their league.
What could Colossus do to him? Colossus is at 100 ton range .....that is a joke to Superman (as I showed on another thread current Superman was moving 24.7 quintillion tons .....note that one quintillion is a billion a billion times).
What could Wolverine do to him? His claws wouldn't even get past the bio-aura.
What could Emma do? She is a strong telepath, but Superman has encountered far more powerful telepaths. Moreover she would be speed-blitzed in a fraction of a second's fraction.
What could Cyclops do? Blast Superman with concussive beams? Superman took a point blank hit in JLA: Elite from characters that blew apart one of Neptune's moons, and a few moments later he was wiping that entire team out. Cyclops is a joke.
The only X-man who comes out of this is Shadowcat .......if she turns intangible before she is speed-blitzed (arguable, since Superman can move far faster than the speed of humanneuron transmission, thus he could have turned her into paste before she went ghost). Anyways, the only one with a chance is Shadowcat ....a chance to survive.
