Xavier has been captured by the Borg onboard their cube ship. A team has been dispatched to bring him back. Once onboard the team quickly discovers that the Professor has been assimilated already and that their trip was pointless. Still, here they stand on a Borg Cube alone and now fend for their very lives. How do they do?
Rescue Team
*Captain America (Ultimate Avengers)
*Data armed with a phaser rifle, tri-corder, and hand-phaser
*Iron Man (Mark V - "Suitcase Armor")
*T-800 (feats from films 1, 2, and 4) armed with only a Winchester 1887 with plenty of ammunition to spare
*Wolverine (Hulk vs.)
*Nomak
Things to Consider
*Captain America is leading the team and everyone will follow his commands.
*Nomak has just fed off fresh blood and is at full strength.
*The Borg are just as they are seen in the films and movies. No energy or projectile weapons allowed here.
They cause a lot of damage so the borg transport them all into the nearest star. If that isn't allowed then sheer weight of numbers overwhelms the team. An average cube can have as many as 200,000 drones. Data is key to the team having a chance as he‘s the one with the knowledge.

Can xavier use his powers against them? If so, Cap and Wolverine and Iron Man are out.
If they can stay in it, the team may have a chance. In the Star Trek TNG series, the borg could be immune to phaser fire unless it was continually being fired on altered frequencies, and even that didn't last long. If they have any such defense against Data's phasers and/or IronMan's weaponry, the team has no chance.
They (Borg)did move pretty slow, so if the team can be shooting bullets/phasers/energy weapons while being back-to-back they should be able to last a very long time. Wolverine could slash and protect a reloading terminator and Cap could help with that too.
Team wins if Xavier can't mind-screw them and if Borg are vulnerable to energy weapons. Otherwise no. They will need Hulk!
the only chance Prof. Picard has would be if he is able to "put them to sleep", however the borg win due to sheer numbers alone, certainly some drones will be destroyed however the borg will eventually adapt and assimilate
Would wolverine's healing factor fight the nanobites that the borg use to assimilate species? If so then I could actually see wolverine taking them down...he's a beast...he'd slice through all of them with ease I doubt I can use the Star Trek next generation/X-men crossover as an example here.
Species 8472's immune system was able to destroy the nanobites so I'm guessing they probably could. Again though, he'd just get transported out into the space. The end.
I've though about that scene; the Thompson Gun Picard fired was a hologram as were the bullets that came out of it. So likely what Picard killed the Borg drones with in the halodeck were tiny modified force-fields and not actual bullets. IIRC, Picard does command the computer to turn off the safely protocals.
