Round one: It comes down to Jean, Juggernaut, Iceman, maybe Kitty if she is phased before being targeted, maybe Rogue if she absorbs some of her teammates abilities (highly doubt she can handle draining Darkseid), and possibly Nightcrawler if the team make sure to keep him as defense. I doubt Psylocke will be left standing, but if she is, her psychic dagger is a guaranteed one-shot if Kurt can get her close. Scott and Havok at best can provide a distraction, maybe hold the Omega Beams off temporarily that go for them, but they aren’t gonna be standing. Storm can also provide distraction, but she ultimately goes down. Wolverine will get knocked out, but I doubt he will be killed. With a fast ball special, Logan could perhaps get a stab in, that is if Darkseid doesn’t turn his adamantium skeleton into putty. The rest are non-factors.
I’d say the X-Men have good chances of winning this round.
Round 2: Jean, Juggernaut, Iceman, and Magneto are the most likely to be left standing. Jeans psychic form is the most useful in this case and their best chance of winning. Juggernaut will need his Cytorrak powers at full strength with shields up. Iceman will probably go down eventually, but if let’s powers out full strength, he has a good chance of staggering Darkseid...maybe. Magneto at his best should be able to get some good shots, even use his Mutant Growth Hormone for an extra power boost if necessary, but I do think he will go down in exhaustion like Bobby.
Needless to say, Darkseids chances have gone way up while the X-Men’s have gone way down. These four are the best chance of winning. Magneto and Iceman could be expendable, but Jean And Juggernaut are the most necessary.
Round three: Scott, Magneto, Storm, and Jean come up with a plan to counter Darkseids powers. Storm hits Darkseid with a Hurricane, Iceman takes advantage of the weather changes and unleashes a full subzero flash freeze on Darkseid. This slows him down, but Storm is taking down. Colossus uses the wind for a fastball special with Logan. Logan gets a few scraps but is knocked away. Angel turns into Archangel and hits Darkseid with a barrage of metal feather projectiles. Darkseids omega beams are taking it X-Men left and right. Yet, Kitty phases Rogue to different X-Men that have fallen for their powers. After Rogue gains her comrades powers she goes toe-to-toe with Darkseid with Kitty’s, Wolverines, Colossus’, Storms, Wonder Mans, Namors, Quicksilvers, Beasts, Cyclops, Havoks, and Archangels powers. Jean, Juggernaut, and Magneto assist Rogue as Nightcrawler enacts his part of the plan, which is to teleport Psylocke above so that she delivers the killing blow of a psychic knife into the head full strength and Jean uses a psychic dagger of her own to ensure Darkseid goes down.
X-Men win. Either that or Darkseid unleashes a weapon to take out the planet with the X-Men on it. Darkseid wins.
Bonus: Vulcan won’t contribute anything that X-Men don’t have already.
