Well, there is one big difference between Cain and your space marines. Humor .
A serious, unfunny Cain would not be awesome.

The award for best martial killers would belong to something like Imperial Assassins, Daemonettes, Warp Talons, or Bloodletters. Incubi are certainly better than Astartes (up to a point, aforementioned Warp Talons in my post would sodomize them, as would vanguard veterans), but they certainly aren't the best. But Warp Talons especially would murder the hell out of Incubis thanks to being a lite version of Freddy Kruger that can still teleport you into hell and flay you alive.

I highly doubt Imperial Assasins would be able to to defeat an Incubi. The Incubi has the advantage of better equipment and is likely to have more experience and a few millennia of training, seeing that powerful DE are virtually immortal. Warp Talons would be nasty because of their Warp-related toys. Deamons are hard to judge because as creatures of the Warp they do not really adhere to 'normal' rules like training, equipment and experience.

I guess you haven't heard of the Samos Sanction- Imperial Assassins are absolutely nuts and waaay better than Incubi or Astartes. Also, there was the Culexus Assassin in Soul Hunter who would have probably killed Talos had she not been wounded in the crossfire between the Astartes and Eldar boarding parties, the Assassin was also mentioned of being capable of instantly killing a space marine with one melee hit against a target that was in power armor as well. Plus she didn't even need her eyes to fight, just her ears.

It's true. Assassins are absolutely crazy.

Death Cult Assassins would chop some incubi down to size.

Death Cult assassins, maybe not. They're good, but they're only Six-Fingered Man good, they're no Inigo Montoya or Dread Pirate Roberts.

Eversors, on the other hand? They're at the absolute peak of human ability. Then they have combat drugs enhancing their bodies far beyond that. Then they have bodysuits that enhance their abilities far beyond that of Power Armour (albeit at the expense of protection).

All of that, combined with training from hell that makes Son Goku of DBZ fame look like a lazy slob.

I'm pretty sure Eversors haven't punched planets apart, Goku ain't lazy in the power department, just in actually getting up and fighting. But Imperial Assassins are still absolutely nuts. Vindicares are pretty much Deathstroke in 40K.

Well, Goku has some other benefits. His training regime isn't really related to his damage output since he's from a comic that is built around toilet humour and silly.
