@AllStarSuperman: I edited my post before to add some more information but I'll just paste it here as well.
Just took another look at the OP and saw they are 500 feet apart. This just reinforces the X-men's victory. IIRC, Sylar and Peter have never demonstrated the ability to mimic someone's powers from such a large distance away. Maya has never been able to poison someone from such a large distance away and Matt has never demonstrated entering someone's mind from such a large distance away. Jean, however, was able to telepathically contact Scott and attract him to his impending death at Alkali Lake, which is a lot more than 500 feet away from where he is. She'd be able to shut down every one of the Heroes' minds from where she stood.
Anyway, all it takes for Maya to be eliminated is a ranged attack (Storm with a lightning bolt, Iceman with an ice blast or shard.) Or even close-combat as Mystique and Wolverine would most likely be immune to the poison. She really isn't that much of a factor here.
I'm still not convinced that either of these attacks could be carried out faster than Jean making a single thought. That's literally all it takes, but for some reason you refuse to acknowledge this.
I assumed there was prep time because there usually is in battles like these, but even without it, Heroes still get trumped.
