Rank their significance to Marvel Earth

Doctor Strange - fending us from demon invaders, like his predecessors before him.
Captain America - NAZI! Enough Said!
Professor Xavier - if he wasn't here, all mutants would side with Magento.
Iron Man - useful devices to aid mankind
Mr. Fantastic - same as Iron Man
Thor - protector
Spider-Man - small scale protector
Hulk - learn from first hand experience that gamma = big nuke = creates monsters
Wolverine - unnecessary, like Canada.

Have to establish better criteria to make it objective. In my case, I'm using people saved, sub-criteria: how they affect the moral demeanor of those in the universe. Basically, who has done the most "hero" things, both empirical and intangible.

So the ones that have fended off cosmic threats take first priority. So, as rightly stated, in some order, Reed/Strange/Thor (in that order for me). After that it gets tricky. Tony, for example, is rich and more powerful than Spider-Man. But who has saved more people, or averted more crises? Who's been the moral compass more often. The answer is Pete. Same reason Cap beats Tony or Hulk. I could get into "web of life" stuff with SM, which suggests he's intrinsic to the very idea of heroism in the MU, but that's a bit more esoteric.

Reed
Strange

Thor

Xavier

Spider-Man
Cap
Iron Man
Hulk
Wolverine
