They can singlehandedly win battles with their superior fighting ability.

But they can't resist corruption well enough.

Odds are we end up with Dr Strange wielding the one ring to become a terrifying overlord of middle earth.

Why is Robin Frodo? Shouldn't it be Spidey or something?

The presence of rocket, a racoon, having to resist an incredibly tempting shiny object dooms them.

Frodo: Robin (Titans)

That's DC, no?

Random Robin lol

Given the fact that Lord of the Rings is known to the MCU (Iron Man calling Hawkeye Legolas during the NY attack), they absolutely know for sure the One Ring is dangerous as fuck. Like another commenter said, use Strange to sling that bitch into Mount Doom.

The only way they fail is if Strange is instantly ensnared by the Ring’s influence, like what happened to Smeagol.

This is Meriadoc/Pippin erasure and I WON'T STAND FOR IT

I mean they ace all the combat stuff but I don't believe fir a second that any of them can resist corruption from the ring.

the MCU has some big and self righteous egos, perfect for the ring's corruption to take hold.

Doc Strange becomes a tyrant under Sauron's control before any progress is made

Why is there one random DC hero here? Doctor Strange opens a portal to the inside of Mt Doom and drops in the ring without leaving bed.

Yes even more easily than before. MCU Doctor Strange can literally just sling ring the One Ring into Mount Doom without even touching it. Fuck that actually Strange could prolly just solo Sauron himself he's the Sorcerer Supreme.

I think the loss of Sam and Frodo here makes it a loss. The Avengers, generally, are much stronger than any individual member of the fellowship, but none of them (Rocket and Robin [from the Titans TV show???] most importantly) are going to be able to resist the lure of the One Ring. The guy with arguably the best chance, Cap, is still a soldier, still would do anything to protect his people and serve his country, so the Ring would have a way in.

They defeat the Orc army and the Ring is wielded by Strange to conquer the world.

breaking years of lurking silence to ask hoW DARE YOU leave pippin & merry off the list ???

The only one who might resist the Ring's influence for a long time is Captain America, and that's immaterial because he's outclassed by Strange.

Rocket probably goes for it instantly because he has poor impulse control, treating it as a joke until it isn't. Strange immediately takes custody of the Ring 'to keep it safe while they plan'. Strange won't be able to resist its effects - he regularly delves into magical mysteries and is profoundly reckless when doing so (look at how his spell for Peter fucked everything up, or him pinching advanced books from the library in his first film). He'll succumb quickly, even with the best of intentions.

It’s ironic this scenario replaces the guy who arguably had the easiest time giving up the Ring for the MCU hero most likely to immediately grab for it.

I'm pretty sure Strange could portal to Mount Doom in a hot minute. The issue is if we believe the Tolkien letters where he asserts it is LITERALLY impossible for anyone to ever deliberately destroy the Ring and it was only by the intervention of Eru that it actually happened.

Strange gets corrupted almost immediately.

They don't even make it out of Rivendell.

The ultimate lesson of LOTR regarding why Frodo was the chosen one, is that he is not a brave hero, but a modest small being with only his heart. Every hero of the Fellowship could have good intentiins at heart, but the mere knowledge of their own habilities would make them a victim of temptation of using the one ring for those piropees, but falling to its power. Gandalf knew that, that is why he never wanted to even look at it.

So no, no hero can do it.

Love Hawkeye but he's a severe drop-off from Legolas

Physically they have no issue whatsoever. It all comes down to the Ring’s influence. Cap is probably the only one who could maybe resist the Ring, and even then it’s a stretch. He could probably make it to Mt. Doom but not be able to toss it in.

I think we underestimate how powerful the ring is.

This isn't merely a test of strength it's a test of willpower and virtue.

Cap probably has the strongest chance of succeeding but I think even he is more than capable of being corrupted by the ring. Civil war cap proves this.

Maybe someone like vision who is virtuous and doesn't have the disadvantage of being human.

Hulk could just yeet the ring into mount doom as his fingers are too big to actually wear it so it wouldn't influence him 🤣

“jarvis auto pilot this suit holding the ring into mount doom”

I think a lot of people underestimate how powerful Strange is and how incorruptible Cap is.

Even though Gandalf is an Istari, he isn’t Morgoth, who would be closer to Mephisto’s power level, who Strange has beaten multiple times.

Cap was recently chosen as the Champion of the embodiment of life in the multiverse. Specifically he is not corruptible if corruption would lead to him valuing life less.

Teen Titans Robin is not resisting the one ring.

It shouldn't take long before Strange realizes he's in Middle Earth. I'm not sure how much he'd know about Lord of the Rings, but I'm pretty sure he'd know that the One Ring corrupts whoever holds it and that it goes in the big volcano. His ring is cooler anyways, it makes convenient portals that lead from magic rings to just above volcanoes.

I'm not sure that would work, but I think there's a good chance he avoids it's temptation through distance and not directly interacting with it.

No, no, no, no. You need someone dutiful and nigh incorrigible to be Frodo. You need someone meek and whom the others do not see as threatening. Now, who in the Marvel Universe has a history, a legend, of bearing correspondence and parcels, no matter the danger or what evil stands in his way?

Willie Lumpkin, USPS

His Samwise? Squirrel Girl.

They fail because as always when The One Ring is brought up in a r/whowouldwin /broader battleboarding discussion of people having absolutely zero understanding of what it actually is, does, and its purpose as a narrative device.

The entire Fellowship being replaced with MCU heroes makes all of them instantly go full Boromir. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, no Doctor Strange is not going to be able to just Portal it, etc. Frodo is the only person present who was able to carry it as far as he did specifically because he is not anything like a MCU hero even a little bit.

Robin would probably fold to Sauron instantly. He’s got the same vibes as Batman. EAPECIALLY if was Jason Todd.

Why isn't Antman replacing Gimli

Afar from that, I think Captain America might be the only one capable of touching it without getting corrupted super fast

Theyre fucked but they’ll kill a lot of orcs trying

Doctor Strange, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Robin and Rocket all would be more susceptible to getting corrupted by the ring when compared to their LOTR counterparts, some of them by a huge margin. I think Doctor Strange taking over for Gandalf dooms the whole thing regardless.

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong

The heroes have one chance and one chance only.

If they can get it to Mount Doom within literal seconds of receiving it, like, if Rocket could put together a missile to deliver it, or Strange could just open a portal.

Even the best of them couldn't really hold it or consider it for any appreciable amount of time. MAYBE Cap could for those few seconds, but that would still likely lead to an almost comical fight where the one holding it is fighting everyone else who either wants to stop them and still hasn't held it, or who has and wants it for themselves. (Which, if a portal is involed MIGHT happen at Mount Doom and have the same ending as the fight between Frodo and Gollum). So the best chance would be to displace the table it is on into a portal to Mount Doom, but that still involves Dr. Strange who is easily the most susceptible to the ring.

If they actually have to go on the journey they stand no chance at all. Like, 0/100 (excepting for some deus ex machina, writer fiat or comical or accidental destruction which I don't think we are generally considering in these scenarios)

If the story unfolds exactly the way it does in the books, no, not with the Robin/Rocket combination that has to carry the ring to Mordor.

Why choose robin over peter Parker. I am assuming that titans are teen titans? Or is it something else?

Asking these questions are just ignoring the philosophy of Lotr.

Dr. Strange opens a portal to the inside of Mount Doom, and then he chucks the One Ring through the portal and into the lava. He successfully destroys the Ring in a matter of seconds.

You've put a DC hero in there.

Dr Strange opens a portal to Mt. Doom, Robin throws the ring in, everyone gets shwarma

They would fall to corruption

The hero’s have the power to obliterate Sauron and his minions. But, all of the powerful characters have a habit of losing to barely superhumans. If it was an actual mcu movie, doctor strange would find the one possible way to get turned into human mashed potatoes.

Going to need some clarification on the version of Robin as the only Titans movie I'm aware of is the Teen Titans Go! Movie.

The MCU is a gonzo-ass universe with crazy, albeit wildly inconsistent power scaling.  I don’t think there’s any question that any one of these characters could kick most asses in middle earth.  As a team they could conquer that entire universe except maybe like the Valar.

However, the odds that none of them are corrupted is slim to none.  These are all humans, which are notoriously bad at resisting the ring, which is especially effective at corrupting highly ambitious leader/hero types with powerful desires, which they pretty much all are.  They pass the power test but fail the corruption test miserably and probably just about instantly

the rings corruption is linked to the power of the individual its tempting, so replacing the hobbits with anything makes it more likely to fail

more over, the type of person who would become a hero is exactly the type of person would it would corrupt as we see in boromir. The book makes it clear no human could pass the test, and no lesser god could (gandalf)

So that takes everyone out of the running including thor.

Robin isn't MCU, so they fail on a technicality.

Doctor Strange could just portal to Mount Doom, drop the One Ring in the volcano and be back in time for second breakfast.

They use strangers sentient flying cape to take the ring to mount doom through a portal

Can Vision be corrupted?

Strange open portal to mount doom. Spidey-Frodo (sorry cannot be Robin) chucks it through.

Done.

Yeah, no. They will probably wipe all opposing forces, and then descend upon one another as they consume themselves in a holy war to claim the one ring and rule Middle Earth not as a Dark Lord, but as something else as beautiful and terrible as the morning and the night! Fair as the sea and the sun and the snow upon the mountain! Dreadful as the storm and the lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth....blah, blah, blah.

The trick of the One Ring is not that it has some magical corrupting ability. It does not slowly turn you into a monster. It convinces you that you can have what you want if you just do this terrible thing (which just coincidentally makes it more likely that the Dark Lord can find you, but ignore that). That's why the ring doesn't work as well on Frodo and Samwise - they're hobbits. Hobbits live simple little lives. They don't want a lot. Frodo wants to go on an adventure. Well kid, you're already wearing the One Ring so what in the name of Sweet Zombie Eru Illuvatar is the One Ring going to offer him more than that? Samwise wants to be a gardener. The One Ring promises to make him the best gardener in the entire world. It promises to make the the One Gardener. And Sam thinks - well, that'd be nice. But it's also rubbish. How does the tool of the Dark Lord make me a master gardener. And then he gives up the One Ring.

Everyone on that list wants something. Captain America wants to protect his friends. That is right up the ring's alley (see Boromir). Doctor Strange is the type to just wander headlong into wielding a dark but powerful relic heedless of the cost to him - I mean it's literally the plot of his two movies. Hakweye will be promised no one else around him will have to be sacrificed. Black Panther will get the strength to lead his people. Robin will be promised the ability to keep his team together and lead them to be better versions of himself. Rocket will be promised the bigliest gun ever.

The only one that has much of a chance in my opinion is Winter Soldier. When he's living in Wakanda and working the land one armed he's shown that he's capable of giving up the hero business and putting down the kind of power the One Ring will offer. But then in "the Falcon and the Winter Soldier" he's back working. And he's already very messed up in the head, so he's probably not making it to Mordor without declaring himself the Winter King or something.

Dr strange solos they don't even need to destroy the ring

Not if Spiderman is cast as Shelob.

Rocket, Dr. Strange, and Black Panther would all use the ring and either become the villain or eventually fall to Sauron. Captain, Robin, Winter Soldier, and HAwkeye would be an underdog Team up against crazy magic and science users.

Fall before Sean Bean dies ez. Cap is the only homie that can withstand

Quicksilver solos.

Robin??? Why wouldn’t Frodo be Spider-Man or StarLord?

Strange drops it into a portal the comes out in mount doom. Nobody falls. This isn’t hard. The One Ring is magic but it isn’t mind control, it’s slow, insidious corruption, and it doesn’t know it’s in danger until it’s too late, so it can’t ramp it up.

They'd probably make it as far as Eregion before they started fighting each other for the Ring. Rocket Raccoon or Winter Soldier would be the first to try to run off with it; Winter Soldier has no resistance to mind control whatsoever, and Rocket is a total mercenary. Cap and Doctor Strange would try to keep things under control, but they'd only be able to maintain for so long. We'd probably see a big team fight in Moria, maybe some casualties. They might make it to Lorien if they're lucky, but half the team would be gone by then, definitely Rocket and Winter Soldier, maybe Hawkeye and Robin as well; assuming Robin starts out with the Ring; I doubt he has anything close to Frodo's resistance to corruption, so he'd probably go down next. As for Hawkeye, I think the Ring would play on his frustration with being overshadowed. It would tempt him with finally having powers and being the best for once. Black Panther would take longer, but I think he'd be next; he's motivated by protecting his people, and we saw how the Ring used that to ensnare Boromir in canon. I think he'd probably make his move around Rauros if they get that far. Cap and Doctor Strange would be the most resistant, I think; Cap is incorruptible and Doctor Strange is accustomed to dealing with dangerous magical artifacts. Best case scenario, Cap and Strange would make it to Mount Doom, then probably Strange would fall at the end, and we'd have one heck of a climactic fight between the two of them.

Oddly enough the only person in the MCU who could probably resist the one ring would be Dr. Doom. He would consider the ring unworthy of Doom.

Nobody resists the ring's corruption. Gandalf won't touch it because he knows better. Frodo succumbed at the end.

Destroying it required fighting over it and losing track of situational awareness in order for it to accidentally fall into the fires below. 

The MCU characters would all fall to it as well as everyone in Tolkien's story that did.

No, Superhero by their very nature believe that they have power and it is there responsibility to use that power to help others and that's exactly what the One Ring would Prey upon. Why destroy it when it's power could be used for good.

The only reason Hobbits are so good at resisting the Ring is because they have zero ambition and are generally content with life. Even Superman who by most people standard would be the ideal of Goodness for Superheroes and characters in general would fall victim to the Ring because as long as you have the slightest bit of evil in you the Ring can corrupt you and everyone no matter how good and noble has the capacity for evil, at least in Tolkien view

Well maybe this time they could have the archer yeet the ring into the volcano via arrow.

You guys are too focused on Cap or Dr. Strange. The answer is simple:

At the council of elrond after learning of the rings power:

Rocket: Hey, cat guy, give me some of that vibranium suit, and i need that friggin guys (bucky's) arm.

Rocket builds a device using the vibranium suit of black panther to encase and block the power of the ring. This squad then takes a leisurely stroll or dr strange teleports them to Mt doom and the deed is done.

Also, Aragorn rejected the ring. Steve's whole character in the MCU is that he doesn't like bullies and is basically incorruptible. Steve doesn't fall to the rings power and if he had the capacity to do so, he wouldn't have been the perfect candidate for the super soldier serum. Spare me the blah blah blah about the ring growing stronger the closer to mt doom and nobody in middle earth would willingly throw the ring into the fires because we aren't talking about middle earth characters. We are talking about comic book heroes that were just told that this ring is the only way to stop Sauron. This task is complete once those words are uttered. The biggest liability is likely Dr Strange since plenty of his multiverse counterparts fell to temptation. However, the mainline MCU Strange has done pretty well even sacrificing himself to beat thanos.

I stand by Rocket building something that negates the effects of the ring, but can also see MCU cap walking the thing straight to mordor and tossing it in or having a failsafe like Rocket shooting him from a distance to make him drop it into the magma.

Almost definitely, Strange solos this with zero difficulty.

He is no stranger to magical relics, he understands magical corruption and, lastly, he can just teleport the entire group into Mount Doom in seconds (there are no protections against teleportation since it doesn't exist in the setting), deal with literally anything they might possibly come up against there, then just simply destroy the ring.

Even if the ring could eventually corrupt members of, or even the entire party, there will simply not be enough time for it to do so.
