    All of them, I think.

    Well, that puts Doom up against Magneto, with Magik to run sorcerous defense, and everybody else to run interference.

    I'm going to guess Doom gets crushed?

    Franklin Richards and multiple Phoenix Force hosts have also been X-Men.

    Has Squirrel Girl ever joined the X-Men?

    Cyclops
    Xavier
    Jean Gray
    Storm

    That’s as far as I know

    Doom has superior will, and probably magical and technological psi-screens, but as we add telepaths, it doesn't look good.

    Xavier and Jean Grey together are overwhelmingly powerful.

    (Jean Grey, by herself, wades through Emma Frost's psi-screens as if they didn't exist and subjects Frost to memories of Emma's tortured youth. That's how powerful JG is.)

    Then add Emma Frost, Psylock, Karma and other telepaths.

    Physical guys run interference while Xavier plus Grey smash through barriers and crush. Keep in mind, too, JG also has telekinetic defenses that can likely shield herself and Xavier from a quick-draw insta-kill. Then, adding Frost and others only makes it worse.

    Yeah, I think this is too much for Doom alone. He needs Doombots or prep or lackeys.

    question: do the xmen have prep? if so, then they have krakoa tech and pretty much unlimited money to do whatever.

    Current X Men are going to be resurrected even after being killed and going to return to the fight. Of course they may lose due to being ring out.

    well it's certainly not instant. it takes a lot of time and prep to bring someone back in krakoa.

    One drawback of being a mutant in the Marvel Universe is lack of experience in conventional social situations. How else can we explain that Doom was able to roofie both Storm and Magneto on separate occasions? If Doom's standard equipment includes his gold pimp cup and some ruphenol, the X-Men are in trouble.

    No prep

    If they can just use their mental powers to beat doom wouldn’t Sue Richards or the FF use their powers to just beat Doom? I mean can’t Johnny Storm go Nova and Sue use her force fields to kill him?

    Most heroes dont like killing. Also, PIS often prevents them from using their abilities in the most efficient manner possible.

    That and they RARELY get into arena style fights with the guy. Context included, there are often plans and obstacles that need thwarting.

    and often time, doom comes to fights with the FF with some amount of prep.
