Beatbok's made a good post not too long ago that put Ultra Humanite the closest counter part. Even more so than Lex Luthor. If you look at Ultra's resume, it's pretty impressive.
In a prep war Ultra should take this.With prep he has
Bested the All Star Squadron and Infinity Inc combined ( that's over 60 heroes with a lot more power than the Avengers). Eventually defeated only because two of the underlings he genetically altered to have super powers turned on him.
Taken on the JSA and Infinity Inc combined ( making them fight each other - defeated only because he considered the street levelers like huntress beneath his notice.
Defeated the JLA and JSA resulting in all heroes on Earth 2 being wiped from existence by his planned upsetting of the cosmic balance. Only defeated because of the unthinkable act of Earth 1 Cheetah saving her arch enemy Wonder Woman to get back at Ultra's betrayal.
Taken the power of the reality warping 5th dimension Djinn Thzz and taken over the world keeping Superman, and every major hero on the planet as his play things and puppets. Again only eventually loosing because another villain against all character changes sides
Add those and many more to the fact that he is a strong enough TPer to match and defeat Brain Wave Sr in psionic battle ( the same BW who in All Star Squadron 19 casually TP commands the entire JSA including Spectre and fate to do his wishes). Telepathically knock out several heroes while trapped in another dimension (Limbo) and tp communicate with himself across four decades.
WITH the physical power to man handle E-2 Superman, beat the crap out of Powergirl when enraged. As well as take the combined power of New Earth Superman, Martian Manhunter and Guy Gardner to take him on
He should take this quite easily. he can and has created minions who are more powerful than most of the Avengers

As for the others, I think Niles Caulder/Tony Stark.
Mr. Terrific/Black Panther
Relic/High Evolutionary
