okay we all know pre-crisis superman's powers, as has has been very popular on this sites threads, but i think that many people underestimate the power of onslaught, and for a refresher here is his powers and abilities
onslaught's powers were at virtually godlike levels, including the ability to mass-manipulate (his complete takeover of all the Sentinels), create and reshape matter at will (shown when he created his citadel, and when he created a second sun to destroy Earth), and an apparent omniscience (as evidenced when he easily thwarted an attempt to sneak into his citadel), and he seems to have total mental control over anyone or anything he wishes. He could change reality at an almost unlimited extent. His physical strength was also shown to be astonishingly high; so much so he was able to go toe-to-toe in a physical fight with the Hulk, after the Hulk's mind had been blanked and his strength and rage set to incredible levels, and his strength was also shown when he knocked The Juggernaut, literally, across North America, and ripped the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak out of his supposedly indestructible body, solidifying its raw power. In the end, Onslaught's true body was revealed to be a mass of pure, psionic energy that was immune to all forms of physical attacks
who would win in an all out battle in NYC? i think onslaught would win easily........what do you think?

damn it! i should of copied the pictures.. well i hope you know a lot about pre crisis supes, but he can move at 200 trillion miles in mere seconds, blew planets to move them without trying, played toss the moon with kara, throw a black orb, like a dead sun shrunk into a compressed mass with an infinite (supposedly) weight, he threw it trillions of miles away, that was shown from pictures a guy posted in respect pre crisis supes... im not joking i think this guy could lose to pre crisis.
so if superman went for the gem and just lobbed it miles away.. well a trillion as it was refered as, then he'd be vulnerable to someone who can throw punches powerful enough to bend time and fly AND fight beyond light speed, which of course makes no sense, but he is pre crisis
and keep in mind some of onslaught's more notable powers are- Seemingly unlimited strength, speed and stamina, Invulnerability, Telepathy, Telekinesis, Magnetokinesis, Reality Manipulation, Metamorph, Self-Evolution, Super-genius Intellect. i really dont think supermans brute strength could compete with these abilities

its more then about intellect, onslaught could use telekensis to make supes think he was lois, thats y i say brute strength wouldnt really matter..............but agreed

Pre-Crisis Superman could do just about anything. I mean he sneezed and blew out a star, by accident. Not to mention tugging like 5 or 6 planets behind him with a smile on his face. As well as other insane and absolutely ridiculous feats. He was also pretty much invulnerable (completely) to anything other then very powerful magic and kryptonite. Not to mention his pretty much unlimited speed that arguably might put even the Flash to shame.
