When you get to people like Superman or Doctor Strange the numbers tend to be become irrelevant.
Yes, if you started with the core Cullen group then expanded outward to the villains like James and Bryce Dallas Howard's character and then the Volturi AND THEN fodder, it'd made things interesting. Could Jane's torture telepathy hurt Apocalypse? How would Alice's precog work against Dr. Strange's precog + time stone?
Anyways, that is a moot point here, so let's break it down:
- Might as well be infinite numbers: Thor, Superman, and Apocalypse. These three either are too fast, too strong, and/or have too many hax powers/AoE attacks. The fodder of Twilight gets truly fodderized against any of these three.
- Next tier they'll have to have Chitauri/Ultron bots/Outriders numbers of an army+ size to take down WW, Steppenwolf, Hulk, Iron Man, and Strange. I could see Diana, Steppenwolf, and Hulk eventually getting overwhelmed with 1000's of diet-Black Panther/Cap level enemies coming at them, but Iron Man and Strange could very well be in the top tier above, as Tony could blow the twihards to kingdom come and Strange could send them all to the mirror dimension. Tony and Strange have a lot of options vs Diana's sword-and-shield + speed blizting and dodging combo fighting style, Steppenwolf doing his tank bruiser thing, and Hulk's ground-and-pound brute strength.
- Maw: just depends on how many he can TK at a time and how hard he'll have to TK them against the ground, walls, or ceiling till them crumble. With enough numbers, they can eventually swarm him, and they have enough strength to put him down. Hard to say how many exactly. If the OP had a different environment (one with lots of objects for Maw to launch at the Twilight crew), I think he'd do much better.
- Hulkbuster: I'd say he's bottom tier. Maybe not if Tony was in the pilot's seat, but Bruce got overwhelmed by the Outriders. The Twilight group here can do that for sure.
