Re: ...
Morgoth obviously had no enemy who could really threaten him until the intervention of the Valar. So, he could possibly have wreaked havoc among the Elves and Men, winning the important battles for the evil side. This would most likely have accelerated the events later on, and caused the West to do something earlier, maybe without a plead from Earendil. Difficult to say how the War would have ended then - probably no worse or better than it did.
On the other hand, Fingolfin and Thorondor have shown us that Morgoth was neither immune to wounds, pain, or even fear. After he would have taken a some nasty hits by Elvish lordsd he would have redrawn again; full of fear, and with no imminent need to take part in the front-battles anyway.
