I think Dark Phoenix or Apocalypse would have at least one divine rank.

Storm = powerful Stormlord

Professor X = powerful Telepath Psion

Magneto = powerful Force Mage

Doc Doom = Fighter / Warlock (he knows a little magic, remember?) with impervious armor, clones & techno gadgets. He'd probably fair pretty well.

There is nothing particularly special about the Green Goblin. All of his abilities could be replicated with training & 4th lvl spells.

Jean Grey and Professor X are definitely Psions. Professor X would be epic level or close.

Cyclops would have to be a special case... a one-trick pony class attainable only through a feat available at character creation.

Havok may be a Sorc/PRC... the PRC will have certain requirements (only energy-type spells).

Psylocke is a Psi-Warrior/PRC... isn't there one that already has Psi-Blade?

Storm... must be a druid-ish or cleric-ish custom class (one not found in the books yet, perhaps) accessible through a feat/template chosen at character creation.

edit: what is a Force Mage?

I was thinking of the Argent Savant in Complete Arcane, couldn't remember the name.

At no point in your original post did you say anything about limiting the selection to the PRC.

I'm surprised it isn't in the PRC, I think most of the Argent Savant's abilities are viable in the PRC's spellsystem framework. They get focus, AC, penetration & Caster Level bonuses with force spells.
