Under the same conditions, any regular human could kill Magneto, Storm, Mystique, even Professor X.
You’d have problems with someone indestructible like Colossus or with healing powers like Wolverine or Deadpool. I don’t know what mutants have special awareness, like Spiderman, but they’d be harder to sneak up on. While Professor X could, my understanding is he typically doesn’t pay attention to random people’s thoughts
Professor X would probably pick up on a person nearby who’s intending to harm him, but I think you’re right about the other three. Wolverine has healing powers AND special awareness, so he’d be especially hard to take out.

“… so they’re going to fight a bunch!” “Don’t they both regenerate?” “They do, yeah, so it’s gonna be a ton of stabbing with no stakes!” “Sick!”
While Professor X could, my understanding is he typically doesn’t pay attention to random people’s thoughts
I think and argument could be made that his powers would work the same way the “normal” senses would. You wouldn’t necessarily wake up when there’s normal stimuli, but if there was a loud noise or a bright flash, you might wake up. Similarly, a would-be-assassin might have thoughts which would be alarming to the Professor, even unconsciously, while sleeping.
The point is made at least in the “X-Men: Days of Future Past” movie, where the McAvoy portrayed young professor keeps suppressing his powers with Hank’s drug in order to silence the voices in his head — and to be able to walk.
My point being that I think that much like with hearing, our brains learn to ignore stimuli, rather than not actually hear it. The brain filters. So his power is rather a completely new sense, instead of something he directs at people and then gets access to. It’s sort of always there, like noise, you just have to focus on the right sound.
Even Cyclops is inherently superior, from looking at capability. So you really think any human, any police force even, can stand against him?
Yes. Take him by surprise and he’s as easy to kill as anyone else, and he has no powers that make him more aware than an average human.
