Imagine if you may, an inhospitable world filled with powerful demons, where even the mighty are prey, and then imagine a team of Heroes plucked from their locations by the Beyonder. his goal is to see whether or not they might be able to survive for one year, on a planet filled with millions of demons, called the N'garai. http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix2/ngaraidemons.htm
Can this team survive for one year under these conditions? Who would fall, who would live?
Superman (Team leader)
Thor
Hulk
Wonderman
Captain Marvel
Hercules (Immortal)
Wonder Woman
GL Hal
Sersi
No a killing is a killing. These demons are pretty hardy though. The Mindless Hulk was nearly gang raped by six of them, and he started to turn the tide, but a dozen more showed up, and some of them looked more impressive that the one that gave him hell on it's own. Ref. Cross roads saga.
Someone like Thor who can inflict massive amounts of damage across a massive area is invaluable here. Planetary storm control is a huge boon here for the team.
You could, but Thor can still invoke weather manipulation without Mjolnir. Superman, Hulk, and GL can also still effect the landscape and take out multiple combatants at once, too. Though Thor is still the best one catered to do such a thing.
who do you think out of all of the guys here is the best leader? My first thought was Superman, because of his ability to reason, and that he has a hard time crossing the line in matters of outright killing his opponent. He's the glue that keeps them together in a way. Well that's what I thought. I'm really not even sure that Wolverine would survive on a planet filled with these guys.
You should have seen the pummeling that the Mindless Hulk put on one of these guys, only to turn around and have it stand right back up Jason Voorhees style, and nearly tear him apart. It's pretty hard to put them down.
Superman: He's a symbol and rallying figure and is able to inspire hope in his teammates, which could be just what they need at times.
Thor: Probably the guy most used to fighting foes like this at in large numbers, he'd be able to inspire the team to fight valiantly and never give in (albeit not to the degree that Superman could). He'd inspire the team in a different method than Kal would.
Hulk: Not worth commenting on, but Banner's intellect might be of use, though I kinda doubt it.
Captain Marvel (assuming this is Billy Batson): His optimism and never say die attitude would probably benefit the team positively. The guy's a bigger boyscout than Superman. And the Wisdom of Solomon gives him some beneficial knowledge of warfare and tactics.
Diana would probably be a good pick, too. The others not so much.
Hey the Hulk did lead the Pantheon. He wasn't the worst leader in the history of comics, but I get your drift. I don't think they would all survive. And could see Simon, being one of the ones that might take a dirt nap.
This is my projections of who is most likely to die.
1. Simon 60-65% likely to be surrounded and killed.
2. Hulk 20-30% my figures are because he is a land locked character.
3. Wonder Woman 15-20%
4. Sersi 40% due to fatigue if the team was ambushed.
5. Thor 10% His ability to call forth winds, and create indestructible barriers would allow for the team to rest.
6. Superman 10-20%. his never leave a partner to die attitude, may be his undoing, which is why i gave him a higher chance of being killed.
7. Hercules 30-35% Like the Hulk, he is landlocked, but does not heal nearly as fast, and in a rough situation, he may fall victim to mass invasions.
8. Captain Marvel 5-10%. With his magical resistance, and ability to spot a demons weakness (Solomon), I give him the highest survival potential.
9. Hal 40-50% likely to die. In a massive attack, his shields and constructs may fall to an ever increasing number of demons.

Wait a minute...Wolverine took out a gang of them and made the leader scream out in pain. I think these are the same demons. Wolverine worked them and they feared him, calling him the unstoppable one. This team stomps...the only person I could see having issues is Superman due to his magic weakness.
They have varying degrees of power. They may have also been written down from what they were during the Crossroads saga. You should try and check it out. I forgot what number the books was, but if I find it I'll let you know.
Diana has served as a general on several occasions. The biggest being leading the Greeks and Indian gods against the Titans. She also created a pirate force and overthrew the large and powerful Sangtee interstellar Empire with it. Plus, of course, leading Amazons and some JL teams.
