Default 5 super villians playing poker. Who wins?

Once upon a time 5 super villains were trapped in a magnetic prison with nothing else to do than play short handed no-limit Holdem. They each secretly had a special ability related to the game.

Villain1 was faster than light. Seeing the hole cards, if he wanted he could choose two new random cards from the deck before the betting started. He could only do it once per hand dealt to him.

Villain2 had X-ray vision. He could see the first card of the flop before the betting started (He could not see any other cards).

Villain3 was psychic. He knew the river card before any betting started.

Villain4 was telepathic. He could read the cards of one villian of his choice at the start of each game before any betting has happened. (It did however escape him that Villain1 sometimes changed his hand).

Villain5 exercised mind control but it could only be triggered if an ace hit the river. In that case he could convince (if he wished) everyone that the pot was his without any betting in that round. He had to be in the pot however, to make the convincing argument.

Villain6 had struk a deal with the devil. Every hole card he was dealt always turned out to be greater than 5 (6-A).

The villains each used their special ability to the best of their knowledge, they were good poker players but they did not know of each others abilities and they were unable to pick up on each others abilities during the play.

Now the question is:
Which player would stand the best chance of winning in the long run? Who has the best ability?
List their abilities from best to worst if possible.
