That's about what I'm thinking.
Especially if, in serious enough straits, he can trigger the "Onslaught" persona to aid the Marvel teams.
The 10 minutes prep time and lack of the Flash favors the Marvel coalition over DC. Without it, the fight would go along P.R.'s reasoning. With it, however ...?
Tactically, the Marvel Team is going to go after Jonnz first.
They HAVE to. Nothing is more dangerous than a superstrong superspeed brick who can read the minds of your teammates and thus know your plans and predict your every move. They've GOT to find a way to put him out first. Fortunately, with Professor X and Jean Gray, they can assault him telepathically or put some illusion in his mind. If they ultimately don't have the power to do it even in tandem, they yet should be able to give Human Torch and Vision time enough to assault him. One mini-Nova blast by the Torch takes Manhunter OUT. A guy whose power is to make and control flame? Yeah superman-with-a-fire-weakness is going out.
Next, however, comes Superman himself. JLA Fernus the Burning tells us that Superman can be taken out of commision by phasing attack. Fernus aka Jonnz, did it himself by fusing Supes into the JLA round table. No joke. I can show that if anyone wants to see it. Hulk and Thor should be able to keep Superman busy long enough for Vision to do his thing.
Next in order of danger to the Marvel teams is probably Wonder Woman. Here what the O.P. has in mind will determine my answer. Is this Diana as she was in the late 90s? Is that what you're calling classic? I hate to say this, but it actually IS plausible for Storm to take out late 90s-style Wonder Woman with electricity. Ditto for Thor.
If this is post-2005 Rucka-style Diana, though, she has enough to allow the DC team to rally from this point and go on to win it.
I don't consider Hal Jordan a super dangerous offensive threat like Manhunter, Superman or Wonder Woman. He is probably the most well-rounded and capable lone member, though.
I don't really see how any lone person save maybe Professor X or Thor could take him one-on-one.
No further thoughts at this moment beyond those 4 people at present. I'll be interested to hear other perspectives.
Good matchup.
