X-Men don't have the man power. If you kept in Cyclops and Gambit, then maybe combined with Sunspot's power, they could take down a large whale ship, but that's a BIG maybe. Colossus doesn't have the strength of Hulk so he would only be good against the ground troops to be honest, seeing as how he can't just go jumping from building to building, smashing the Chitauri(also we don't have durability feats for him so if the Chitauri gang up on him like they did to Hulk, I honestly don't know if he'd still be conscious after that). Storm, Sunspot, and Blink are easily the MVPs here. I don't know if Storm can conjure lightning as powerful as Thor did when he bottle-necked the portal, but her lightning should still be effective nonetheless, not to mention the other elemental powers she has. Sunspot can fly(probably not as fast as the Chitauri ships) and has strong solar blasts, and Blink can do the same thing she did against the Sentinels:transport her teammates to key areas where they can be most effective, teleport away enemy fire, teleport her teammates fire into an enemy, etc. And Wolverine is just a better Cap, physical wise. Warpath honestly can't help them.
They still don't have the strength or range to stop the Chitauri, IMO. No one can really do what Iron Man did, keeping the invasion in a confined area, seeing as how none of them(Storm and Sunspot) are as fast or as durable as him, and they don't have the help of Jarvis/Hawkeye. All in all, the team is too dependent on each others powers, or Blink's to be precise, to be effective against the invasion. The non-flyers can't go off on their own and defeat about 30 Chitauri each, except for the likes of Wolverine, Colossus, and maybe Cyclops. Everyone relies on Blink's powers to be the most effective, but once she goes down, they'll only be able to hold a few blocks maybe before they get overrun. They also have no answer to 5 whale ships.
