I'll just go with a list, since doing X-Factors or edges will take far too long.

So...

8th is Dante Alighieri. He is not fast, strong, or armored enough to fight against any of the other warriors here.

7th is Cole. Good-version Cole has more precise but less powerful powers. He can't storm in and lay down hurt; he has to be very careful he doesn't get spotted.

6th is Bayonetta. See Beastman's reasons for why.

These next two are very close, and could even be interchangable depending on who they meet.

5th is Hawke. This Hawke has the Templar and Berserker specializations, making him an extremely powerful anti-magic warrior. Unfortunately, he is also limited by both his humanity and his lack of ranged attacks.

4th is Alex Mercer. He is strong and durable, and can be very fast. However, there isn't an abundant source of Biomass on the island; he can't heal, and unless he is already in Critical Mass, he can't use his super moves.

These next three are also very close.

3rd is Kratos. He places high here because of his brute strength, speed, and the Golden Fleece. His Rage of Sparta gives him the Blade of Olympus, easily the most powerful single weapon here.

2nd is Dante. He's incredibly powerful, and has extremely high speed and magic. He's have this in the bad if it weren't for

1st Ryu. He has stealth, strength, and agility on his side. I'm giving him the win.
