Matters of import: Jon is invincible. He has survived being entirely disintegrated twice. He claims to have "walked across the surface of the sun," - that thing that would incinerate every single character in the X-Movies before they got anywhere near it, even if they could survive the vacuum of space. Also, Jon can survive the vacuum of space. This renders the offensive capabilities of any and every character (fo)X can throw at Doctor Osterman entirely moot, including the Sentinels. This really leaves only the telepaths.
Here, it gets tricky. IF we can expect Jon to be as vulnerable to telepathy as any other superhuman, then clearly Xavier can temporarily moot the threat that Jon poses, as we have seen that he can freeze anybody in their tracks. But the Professor still wouldn't have anyone on hand who could actually dispatch him. Perhaps Charles could convince Jon to destroy himself, but that's a big perhaps. The only character in the Foxiverse who maybe possibly stands a chance of being able to actually destroy Jon is the version of "Phoenix" we got in the third X-Movie? I don't really remember exactly how powerful she is supposed to be, because who really wants to remember that movie, you know?
So, on to my verdict: before arriving to battle the mutants, Doctor Manhattan hears about the publication of Before Watchmen, and gets like really, super depressed. He decides to leave the Earth forever and teleports to Mars. Again. Xavier and company win by forfeit. Hooray!
