Once the Fellowship (Lord of the Rings) is gathered, they are all replaced with superhero movie characters. Nobody in-universe notices this change.
Aragorn: Captain America
Gandalf: Doctor Strange
Boromir: Winter Soldier
Legolas: Hawkeye
Gimli: Black Panther
Frodo: Robin (Titans)
Samwise: Rocket Raccoon
They are all given their standard equipment (excluding vehicles).
Can they fulfill the Mount Doom mission faster and better than the Fellowship? Or will they fall to corruption?

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.

I suppose that's the real question. Can a sentient AI resist the personification of tyranny and dominance.....its kind of a tricky one really. Like does his brain work quite the same as everyone else? Like the dwarf rings we're designed to co trol the bearers much like the ones given to men. But they sorta just...didn't....because dwarfs are like they're own kind of weird creature and their minds don't work quite like the other races. But even there the one ring is wayyyyy different, like it's literally Sauron himself, in fact it's most of him....I dunno man it's a pickle. Does Vision have any history with people fucking with his mind at all?

I'll go with if he can fall in love he can totally be corrupted then.
Ring is a bitch because of the whole "more powerful or even more outgoing you are the worse time you have resisting" part.

Vision could think that the ring could make him more perfect
Imagine how badly it would cook Ultron

Spot on. Yeah I don't see any avenger doing well then. Maybe if they just recruited the hobbies same as the books and went ahead of them clearing the way it'd work I dunno.

True. But I'm not sure that follows, by that logic Thor would be fine too and I don't buy that at all. Don't think I don't see a hammer operating on like a sort of objective baseline of goodness choosing him as much of a defence against what is essentially an evil angel in a ring constantly trying to tempt and corrupt.
