Their motivation is also survival- they cant live long without having to replace their counterpart- and they feel they deserve to live!

Tony Stark would need to assemble a team to stop them- But since the Gatherers target their 616 conterparts, he cant use the same people against them- it would be too likely he'd lose his team.

So he has to get heroes as good as the Gatherers to stop them- an armored up Reed Richards to stop evil Iron Man for example, or Ares to stop Gatherer Hercules, Doctor Strange to stop Gatherer Brother Voodoo, Iron Fist to stop Gatherer Luke Cage, etc.
It would be an emotionally wrenching storyline and I'd have the whole thing be set up as a game between the Grandmaster and a mystery opponent that would be a suprise reveal in the final issue of the run.

and I would buy it still knowing the ending anxiously awaiting how you go about revealing it. the gathers in mind were poised to become the next MOE, or at least I thought so at the time. especially because the switched out vision and no one knew and it is too bad no one has thought to revive them in some form kinda like you are talking about you know
