What do the Time Keepers (ancient malevolent beings living in a well protected fortress at the end of time) hate more than children?
TIME TRAVELING children!
They've captured a host of them (Jeffrey Jones/Voyagers, Evie/Out of this World, Joe, Sam, Fred/Time Warp Trio, Evan Treborn/The Butterfly Effect, Syd, Shelby/Best Friends Whenever, David, Christina, Adam, Quinn, Jessie/Project Almanac among others) from various time lines, to use nefariously for purposes nefarious in nature, because being nefarious is what they DO.
Unfortunately (for the Time Keepers) one of the children they kidnapped is Marty McFly, and Marty doesnt time travel alone!
Doc Brown is going to assemble a team and rescue everyone, because that's what HE does.
The catch?
Unless invited (and no one ever is), no one under 50 can enter the the Time Keeper's Kingdom, much less their fortress.
Challenge accepted!
DOC BROWN-he's putting this geriatric band together.
MARTIN OHARA- amazing powers and an intellect to rival Doc's own. Win win.
GRIZZLY ADAMS-an all around woodsman with an awesome beard, he can guide the team through the rewind woods, where you seem to go backwards as often as forward.
CAPTAIN BARBOSA-once he was promised he could loot the fortress for gold (ancient time bad guys have GOT to have gold, its a universal currency), Barbosa readily agrees to sail the Black Pearl across the daylight savings sea, where the sun & stars shift almost hourly, making travel nigh impossible...for normal men.
JOHN MASON-anyone who can escape Alcatraz, then break back in, then escape it AGAIN, is just the man Doc needs to help free Marty and the rest of the children.
ODIN-there are certain failsafes in the Time Keepers' fortress that will age you instantly. Thats not going to bother the hilking Norse God. Neither will busting many ancient bad guy skulls.
COL. WILLIAM "HAWK" HAWKINS-rescued by Doc at the moment just prior to his death, and given a new lease on life via a 2015(!) rejuvenation treatment, Hawk, who can and has flown everything from prop planes to helicopters to supersonic jets to space shuttles, is going to use one of the Time Keepers' own ships to take the freed children home and back to their own time lines.
After that? He has all the time in the world.

SOME NOTES
Once I realized you hadnt specified exactly what war i was dealing with, this opened up more.
This is the team that helped OPERATION DESERT STORM be such a success, having thrown things into chaos.
Its full of 90s movie bad guys for the most part, who in this shared reality were all imprisoned prior to the war.
Hans Gruber landed on something soft in this reality at the end of Die Hard, and survived.
Howard Payne has police, not military training, so squeaking by on this one.
Leatherface has been rebooted many times since the original '74 movie, including at least twice in the 90s.
Joe Pesci pulls double duty as Tommy DeVito and wet bandit Harry, and no one notices the resemblance.
The Master (Doctor Who) Vicious megalomaniac wanted in nearly every system in the Universe.
Gabriel Gray "Sylar" (Heroes) Superpowered serial killer & psychopath... extremely dangerous.
Yondu Udonta (Guardians of the Galaxy) Notorius and wanted space pirate.

are a choatic force of nature leaving wreckage in their wake.
Challenge: Final Girls
Concept: You know how at the end of some horror movies the chick is the only one to make it out alive, they call them Final Girls because they have invincible plot armor, no matter the killer, rapist, monster... these chicks will almost always win. Well we need a whole team of these Death Proof chicks because an unspeakable horror has entered the Multiverse and regular Superheros or One Man Army Action Heroes are just not going to cut it.
Rules: Choose a chick from each genre and equip her with a weapon from a movie (doesn't have to be from the same movie, let's say nothing more powerful than Mjölnir from Thor)
Vampire movie
Werewolf movie
Zombie movie
Supernatural movie
Mad Scientist movie
Erotic Thriller movie
Slasher movie
Alien movie
The Twist: Pick one chick from your team to be the Ultimate Final Girl, the sole survivor from the battle with the unspeakable horror.
