How do you know he is more powerful? Adam had the Isis power on top of his own. On his own he easily defeated Captain Marvel. There is no way Henshaw could have taken on the forces Black Adam took on in ww 3.
This is Henshaw with several Qwardian power rings. And going by WW3, BA was just punching people. Henshaw has qwardian shields whose power is multiplied by several power rings.
On top of this he can project all manner of energy based weapons and constructs (2 of which he beat Supes down with in 3 blows).
All this and he already has high end durability, strength, damage soak and speed thanks to his kryptonian physiology and high end tech grafted into his flesh to amp his body.

BA wasn't wrecking the top guys, who were not even trying to kill him. High showing for BA but it wasn't anything that puts him on Henshaw's level with 10 qwardian power rings at his disposal, on top of his already greater versatility.
Without the rings Henshaw is already a good match up for Black Adam. With the rings Henshaw could render all of BA's attacks ineffective with shields and can create all manner of constructs (energy weapons, animated fighters etc).
As far as BA being more durable, Martian Manhunters energy radiation was melting his face. Henshaw has shields.

Yes, he was. It doesn't even matter because BA wrecked the new captain marvel with less power.
Henshaw only used the rings to amp his punches. You cannot just make things up for him to somehow give him the win.
BA was taking on over 2o some heroes at once. he was fine afterwards and wasn't even really put down. He was depowered while his mind was assaulted. Henshaw was easily cast aside by three k-nians.
BA constituted ww 3 by himself while henshaw was someone who was easily tossed aside by three k-nians.
I don't really see an argument here. With 10 power rings Henshaw has way more power output than BA.
BA was restrained by the equivalent of 1 power ring in WW3 against an opponent who wasn't trying to kill him. Henshaw has 10 and he wouldn't hesitate to kill BA.
BA was wrecking teen titans and such, young heroes, guys not in his weight class. When he did face guys closer to his weight class like Power Girl, MM and Alan Scott. He really didn't wreck anyone. He took PG (fine) but Alan Scott handled him well consdering he was trying to restrain an amped BA on a rampage, as did MM.
EDIT: MM wasn't even trying to kill BA with his MV and he melted his face. I dread to think what he'd have done if he focused his beams and targeted BA's eyes.

BA was mentally attacked and was depowered due to this. He isn't being mentally attacked here so its a moot point.
BA was tossing around Alan Scott, Firestorm, and MM as well. He let MM go and gave him a second warning. You failed to address the fact that BA wasn't out to kill them all as well. He gave MM multiple chances to leave the area and the fight.
Henshaw was casually tossed aside by three k-nians while BA was mentally assaulted after letting MM go and depowered by Captain Marvel.
Again you aren't making any sought of legit argument. The guys BA were wrecking were not in his weight class and he killed a fair few of them as a result. It was quite clearly stated that BA was throwing punches to kill, yet against opponents restraining themseleves in this case MM, PG and Alan Scott he was only able to drop one of them.
Hell, even if we give the amped BA the benefit of the doubt he is still only taking down lightweights and gettting handled accordingly by the JSA core.
1 power ring used non lethally was enough to give BA significant concerns. What can a super cyborg grafted with super technology and 10 power rings accomplish?
Henshaw is a shape shifting, energy versatile, technopathic beast with high tech cybernetics supplementing a kryptonian base physiology.
He's an animal of a top tier in forum battles, even without a huge amp like 10 power rings.

And 10 power rings are only going to add to that arsenal. A single power ring is a top tier powerset by itself, 10 is overkill. Man do people overrate BA or what?!
