They either stop at Superman, or they clear it IMO
They clear with casual ease until Round 5 begins. And to clear a few things up...
I dont really think that Magneto is going to be able to manipulate Mjolnir. Going by movie showings, no one but Thor can wield the hammer. And since Mags doesn't possess reality manipulating/ magic manipuating powers in the movies, I'm saying he wont be able to manipulate it. Eric and Jean are the two biggest threats in the Brotherhood, as Juggs was MASSIVELY underpowered in the movie.
Going by movie showings, Mags may be able to manipulate the metal in Manhattan, but that isnt going to save him from Thor, as Mjolnir is enchanted to be ameanable to Thor alone, and Thor possesses more than enough durability/strength/speed/power to take Mags out.
Hulk could likely take out Jean. If Wolverine possesses enough durability to take Jean out, Hulk easily possesses enough durability to withstand her disintegration field.
Iron Man can take Juggs, while the rest of the Avengers can at least keep the remaining Brotherhood members busy, with Cap being able to take a few of them by himself. Once Thor is done with Mags and Hulk takes out Jean/Phoenix, it quickly becomes a massacre in The Avengers favor.
Batman and Hal are non factors in Round 6. Either Hawkeye or Black Widow could easily take Batman out, as both are easily superior to Nolan's Batman in h2h combat. Iron Man could wipe Hal form the face of the Earth with ease, given Hal had poor durability showings and really wasn't all that powerful in comparison to the movie Iron Man.
Superman is the real problem. But if The Avengers play it smart, they can take him out.
Thor and Hulk are hinted at being immortal by inference in the movie. At worst, both are shown as possessing ridiculous amounts of durability.
Both Thor and Hulk have 100+ ton strength.
Thor was able to crush Iron Man's Mk VI armor with little effort, using only his hands. He delivered a blow (deflected by Cap's shield) that leveled a large amount of forest around him (my best guess would be at least 500m), and was able to break out of a SHIELD chamber designed to hold Hulk once he gained sure footing. He also went toe to toe with Hulk and didn't show any signs of tiring or of physical trauma. He took on The Destroyer armor at full power with casual ease.
Hulk's strength and durability wasn't shown to have an upper limit in the movie, as he tanks fire from a score of gunships without any apparent damage to his person, oneshots a Leviathan, absolutely destroys Loki (an Asgardian with 30 ton strength, and a "Puny God") with no apparent effort, and tanks several strikes from Mjolnir with no ill effects. If we're including the crappy Ang Lee movie, Hulk tanked reentry into Earth's atmosphere as well.
If Hulk and Thor work together effectively, they can likely overpower Supes if working together in tandem. I'm also assuming Supes is vulnerable to magic in this case. If so, Thor's hammer may be able to damage him, and if Hulk gets angry enough, he might be able to overpower Supes on his own. Iron Man and other could provide distractions if need be, but Thor and Hulk are the two that have the best chance of taking on Superman and surviving.
They clear Round 7, as all of them have defeated these enemies before, and Hulk would likely crush Abomination this time around, as his Avengers incarnation is far stronger than his Incredible Hulk one.
Saruman and the Balrog are the only threats in Round 8. The former being an Istari, who is immortal in the astral plane, but his physical shell can be destroyed. The latter being slightly less powerful than Saruman is. That being said, Thor and Hulk could fight Saruman and the Balrog respectively based on movie showings. Cap takes the Nazgul, Widow takes the Uruk Hai beserkers (she has guns) and Hawkeye takes the Mumakill (clench up, Legolas). Iron Man provides assistance where it is needed, and Hulk and Thor move onto the main battle after they are done with their respective opponents.
