In this gauntlet, Henshaw gets the use of a Mother Box.
He is fully healed/regenerated after each battle. How far does he get?
1. PC Mongul
2. Classic Magus
3. Jenny Quantum
4. Thanos
5. Doomsday Wars Doomsday
6. Depowered Tyrant
7. Alan Scott as Sentinel
8. Resurrection Man 1 Million
9. Superman 1 Million
In the right environment (one with tons and tons of high end tech around; on planet Cyberton for example) Henshaw can beat Thanos sans Motherbox...
With Motherbox, he still needs to fight in the right environment (high end tech must be present so he can reconstruct himself), but its doesnt have to be as extreme as fighting on Cybertron; he just needs enough tech present to keep himself going until Motherbox can come up with a solution for dealing with The Mad Titan...
Even with Motherbox, he has no chance against Depowered Tyrant; Tyrant appears to be a stronger technopath than Henshaw and should be able to dominate Motherbox...
As a result, I think Depowered Tyrant is a terrible, terrible, matchup for Henshaw...
As a side note, Depowered Tyrant may be "Trans" according to the tiering here on KMC, but he is definitely a Skyfather level character bare minimum (and possibly beyond Skyfather pending your opinion of his showings)...
When the tierings were made, anyone more powerful than the Silver Surfer and less powerful than Odin were placed into the Trans Tier...
Thus characters like Depowered Tyrant got the label of Trans even though they are considerably beyond Trans Tier characters...
I don't see him even beating Thanos. If he has a motherbox and in an evironment ideal for him i.e. a lot of machines to control.. sure I could see him beating Thanos for some wins. Without the right environment, motherbox or not, he goes down.
If they fought on Earth (for example) Motherbox wouldnt even matter as Henshaw would be beaten so fast that Motherbox wouldnt have a chance to come up with a solution for dealing with Thanos...
