The Heralds are summoned by the Grandmaster and Mr. Mxy to participate in a cosmic obstacle course. The winner receives one wish to change/alter/modify an important event in their life upon completion of the course. Upon completion of one challenge the herald is immediately warped into the next obstacle with no break in the action inbetween. No stargating, or warping around the obstacles.
The obstacles are as follows;
1) Make it through an asteroid belt rigged so that the asteroids -hundreds of thousands, each one the size of Texas- are hurled at you at sub lightspeed like heat seeking missiles.
2) Continuing from the first, but this time a contingent of Kree Sentinels -100- are teleported into the fray in addition to the asteroids, remotely controlled by Gamora. They're of course, out for the kill.
3) Warped into the heart of the Annihilation wave, supported by the Kree sentinels controlled by Gamora.
4) Same as 3, but Annihilus (sans q-bands) himself joins the combat.
5) The finish line. Fly head on into a neutron star all the way through to the other side. We already know about the incredible gravity/mass these things contain. But what people overlook is the tremendous amount of heat that they contain with surface heat orders of magnitude hotter then that of a normal star. They make it, and the Grandmaster/Mxy is waiting for them on the other side.
Ok so there we have it. Who makes it to the end? Where do they stop? And what do they wish for if they make it through?

Superman clears it. His wish? Imo, it would be saving Johnathan Kent from the heartache he suffered during the "Brainiac" arc. Though, you could definitely argue that Superman wouldn't use a wish solely for personal gain and instead would use it during a chaotic event such as Final Crisis or OWAW to save more than one life.
You raise something. I don't think that the wish in and if itself is motivation enough for guys with the character that Supes, Thor etc have. They have to stand to lose something as well. Hmmm...
Thor- Forced to watch Sif killed over and over again consecutively as he is Powerless to stop it from happening.
Superman- Everyone that he loves dearly, loathes him.
Quasar- Spend all eternity in a disembodied state, not being able to interact with anyone or anything.
Nova- Forced to fail over and over again in every major task he's ever been faced with. Earth gets obliterated by the death storm, fails to stop the A-Wave etc.
Surfer- Loses his last bit of benevolence and becomes incapable of positive emotions, becomes cold and callous in seeking out worlds for Galactus.
Firestorm- Loses control of the matrix, spends the rest of his life as a prisoner in a mindless, souless shell.
Captain Atom- Becomes Monarch. Lives his life as an evil cold-hearted dictator.
Kyle- Becomes a Black Lantern

If he goes intangible then he's out. No cheap tricks or Mxy will know it and then immediately send him to his fate. Same goes for any type of vibration, stargates, warping etc. They have to physically go through the process.
If they're just bricking it with just flight, strength, speed, durability, etc, then I can really only see Superman and Thor making it out. If they're allowed to manipulate energy and such, then the number of finalists would increase of course.
Are they allowed to manipulate energy, as in "energy blasts" and the like?
If Kyle clears it... Which I doubt... But if he does...
He asks for the durability to handle all seven rings again...
Cause that was fairly badass.

Yes. They can make use of whatever abilities are in their disposal that will aide them so long as they physically go through the actual scenarios. Stuff that'll help them slide by undetected or to go around etc are grounds for automatic disqualification.
For example, Firestorm can turn some of the asteroids into glass or whatever, but can he use that power on that scale to do all of them? Let's attempt to keep it within reason here.

Yes, Annihilus, his forces and 100 Kree Sentinels controlled by Gamora are actively trying to take them down. They have 5 minutes before the portal to the next challenge opens. Once the portal opens, they have to find it.
