I rank them in terms of usefulness either offensively and defensively (or both). Additionally Odin is up there because of synergies/pre fight.

Jabari Panther
Odin

Ok, so I know there are some off-piece placements here. Let me explain.
Stryfe is good and all, but I don’t envisage him being used all that much in general questing. His main ballpark is abyss
Contrast that to Jabari, who has much stronger utility and doesn’t need to ramp up her damage, I expect her to used quite a lot in questing. I will certainly be targeting her in the next featured 6*.
Think of it as a Nick Fury/Ægon situation. Ægon is an essential champ simply due to abyss, but Nick fury is much better day to day. Same story with Jabari and stryfe. Except Stryfe isn’t the best abyss champ like Ægon is.
As for Jubilee over Odin, I’m looking at the wider game. I have then both as 5*s. Odin’s prefights are nice, but I don’t see them being used all that often. Hela is too impractical, and the champs like Red Goblin that really benefit from them aren’t really useful enough to justify 2 slots. They’ll still be useful, don’t get me wrong.
But why Jubilee? Well, I think she might be one of the best champs for a progressing player. There are a lot of champs that can do what she does better, but at that stage of the game, where your champions and rank up resources are limited, she’s going to cover a whole lot of bases for that player, which would make her far, far more valuable than Odin in that scenario. And let’s face it, most of the playerbase are progressing players.
Not to mention Jubilee is a better standalone champ than Odin of you discount the prefights. Saying all of that though, I can definitely understand ranking Odin above Jubilee depending where you are in the game
Mangog would be higher if his damage wasn’t Ebony Maw level. For a playstyle that requires getting hit for damage, the payoff isn’t worth it, and his utility rotation slaughters his damage output. Even then, the power control is lacklustre, and the energy protection takes too long to get up, and once it is up, you can’t keep it consistently up. His nullify is excellent though, and bleed immunity is always useful. Armour break immunity is useful for Aarkus and that’s really it
Silver Centurion we obviously haven’t seen yet, but I can envisage him slotting in 3rd place. He looks to have some fairly strong utility and damage all round, but probably isn’t going to revolutionise the tech class
Except for how jubilee is so low, and odin is a dud. WHY IS ODIN SO HIGH?
OH AND SUPER SKRULL should be at the bottom
