Marvel's only real answer to Zoom would be for Nate to preform the 'step in between time' maneuver he used against Ares. However, Nate didn't really use that as an offensive tactic, iirc--he used it to get away from Ares (which didn't work anyway.) Regardless whether or not it's offensive or defensive, it certainly isn't Nate's first-line tactic; that much I'm confident about. I'm also confident that Maxima can telepathically hold off Nate from mind-raping long enough for Zoom to dish out some pain to the Marvel team. She wouldn't have to hold off Nate for long, mind you--a few seconds (if that) should suffice. Remember, this is the same Zoom that easily owned every single member of the Flash Family (inc. Johns' wanked-out/overpowered version of Barry Allen) simultaneously. He's [a LOT] faster than anyone else on the field--blitzing them with strikes fueled by Negative Speed Force energy wouldn't be an issue, imo.
Dunno who wins, but it'd be a fun battle to watch.

Without going into all the things that Cyborg Superman could do to Team 2, unless someone can cite a reference for Hank being screwed with telepathically (which he hasn't to my knowledge) it's going to be very hard for Team 2 to win. Don't forget that his consciousness isn't exactly conventional either because it's connected to machines. Hank can't be killed. If you destroy his body, he just reconstitutes himself. The only thing on Team 2's side that might be able to stop Hank is some plot devicey Mjolnir magic, but in this fight, the wielder is far too slow.
Hank astral body was heavily wounded by Boodikka, who isn't even a psi character. Someone like X-Man spells back news...more so when is able to discorporate his astral body or drain psionically drain them.
I also want to add, that both Surfer, and Thor are able shift themselfs into astral form at will. Hanks ability to survive, due to his Astral Body feels jaded when you have characters that can do something about it.
As far as the match goes, it was my best effort to keep it balance.
Yes, but if Hank sucks all of Norrin's power cosmic out of him, how does he come back? As for Thor, he's way too slow to do anything before actual speedsters (Zoom, Maxima, and Hank) kill him. He's a glass cannon.
Boodikka who isn't a psi character was able to wound Hank's non-corporeal consciousness, therefore X-man, a psi character...can? Not following.
....how would Hank go about siphoning all of the Power Cosmic from Norrin before he defended himself? Also not seeing how Maxima, Hank, or Zoom kill Thor before he does anything of note.
Superman was also able to hit Zoom before. Hal Jordan was also able to momentarily tag him with constructs. I don't think Thor would conventionally be able to land a flush strike normally on Zoom or the other speedsters, but he still has the means to attack and defend and neither Maxima nor Hank would be able to KO or kill Thor before he was able to react.
that was zoom, not professor zoom. professor zoom ran circles around superman when he was in boosters book. his control of time and speed is what gives his team the edge, imo.
