Powers and abilities:
Pinhead is an extremely powerful being, and as such, has several supernatural abilities. He is virtually unstoppable and invulnerable in the physical sense, but rarely engages in physical combat, instead letting hooked chains do his bidding. His preferred method of attack is by summoning hooks and chains to mutilate victims, often pulling said victims in several directions to tear them apart. These chains are subject to his total mental control and he may direct them at will. The chains may even change shape after having attached to a victim. Pinhead is highly resistant to damage and direct assault, able to shrug off all but the most potent attacks.
His magic is also used for creating objects out of thin air, teleporting, creating explosions at distances and deceiving opponents with illusions. Pinhead is also familiar with the Occult and magic, with an ability to read minds. He is at once charismatic and terrifying, and can often persuade others to perform horrific acts to his favour.
It is not known if Pinhead's power exceeds that of other Cenobites, although he was once killed by the Channard Cenobite after remembering his human life. In Parts 3 and 4, Pinhead creates Cenobites from his victims, which tend to be physically manipulated to resemble an aspect of their human lives with special abilities granted in the process. Pinhead is rarely without an entourage of such beings.
When the Pinhead character's inhuman evil (Unbound Pinhead) manifests in the world in Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, it seems to have nearly unlimited and highly versatile powers. He could telekinetically control vast areas, transfer matter to different forms whether it be living or non living, create and control fire, animate objects, and the like. Towards the end of the film, Pinhead's human side suggests that he is no longer bound by the rules governing other Cenobites (suggesting others among them might have such power).
Phoenix had full control over her powers, Jean was just fighting her tooth and nail to regain control over her mind and body. Remember she turned it to energy, then tore the gun apart and was about to skewer Magneto with those darts? And even when she 1st transformed, she had enough control to ash Xavier. Either by ripping apart his molecular bonds, or something else.
I've NEVER seen pinhead display any type of power that comes close to rivaling an alpha class mutant. I've seen Pinhead use telekinesis on a small scale and summon chains out of his ass. The strongest power i've seen Pinhead utilize is using his telepathy to change someone's perspective. This, however is small beans compared to what we've seen from Professor Xavier and Jean Grey.
The other Cenobites seem to be disposable minions. They rarely do anything other than stand next to Pinheads side and look menacing. What ever ability the Cenobites have in the books are irrelevant. I know that they should be able to send the entire band of the X-men into a state of insanity by showing them Hell but their movie counterparts are rather weak when compared to what we've seen from some of the X-men on screen. The only factor that may become a problem for the X-men is that the Cenobites are immortal. They will just keep coming and coming until the box is closed but if humans can close the box within seconds, i'm sure Xavier or Jean could do it even quicker.
Also, you have to remember, like the stupid ass problem we have with matching up Neo with someone else, Wolverine is a God. Jesus, i really hate Wolverine these days.

Nah, it's not so much that. Although, i did like it better when Wolverine actually required downtime to heal major wounds but yeah, that really doesn't bother me. I mean, no matter how powerful a Hero may be there will always be a villain to offset them. I'm just sick of Wolverine being shoved down my throat. I don't like where his character has gone. I prefer a more mysterious Wolverine who does what he wants and sits in the shadows of the x-men. I don't like the idea of Wolverine being a leader. I think i started being turned off of Wolverine after they explored his origins in the Comics.

Remember, it is Apocalypse that has the BOX. They're not gonna get it that easy. That part of it is irrelevant though, seen as how that Apocalypse isn't in the movie. I was just throwing him in there for the scenario, but obviously he isn't in this fight. To put it simply, the BOX isn't around here.
I do see what you mean though about the Cenobites, but them being immortal, don't you think they'd eventually pick off the mutants 1 at a time? Xavier & Jean can hold them at bay for a while, but not forever .
I should've specified that it is Jean Grey and NOT Phoenix here. Of course Phoenix all out solos.

Yeah, i just hate to give this to the Cenobites because the X-men have been raped so badly over this past decade. NO ONE has been able to do them proper justice. There is no reason why Red or Gold Team could not Stomp the Cenobites but unfortunately, the movie counterparts are made out to be silly pussies. Because the Cenobites are immortal they will definitely win and it wouldn't take very long. If this were a match where a knockout counts as a kill, then i still think the X-men could take this match with great ease.
If you have Jean and Xavier giving support while Cyclops removes his visor and keeps the cenobites at bay, Nightcrawler, Storm, Wolverine, Colossus and Gambit would run a train on them. It would be a mud stomping. Although, i'm not sure how hell chains will fair against colossus' skin. They're definitely not getting that box out of Apocs hands though 😂
