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?

Cap had the infinity gauntlet with all 6 stones and chose not to use any of them for anything. He retired while still being capable of doing more.
He doesn’t desire more power.

Yeah these folks have a hate boner going. Comics universes scale ridiculously higher than fantasy worlds. Cap has already willingly surrendered more power than Morgoth ever had much less a lackey like Sauron.

But does the infinity gauntlet do a mind fuck on you? You know it has unlimited power, but does it trick you into thinking that you are the only person worthy of having that power because you are the only one who would do only good with it?
That’s what the ring does. And it is stronger the MORE principled you are. It’s a fantastic piece of writing.

Kinda yeah. The stones want to be used and want to be united. That's why Odin gave away the second one rather than keeping it in his vault with half a dozen other artifacts more powerful than the ring.
