Now, maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought that you have to work with what is stated in the thread if such specifics are mentioned.
If this had been a simple Onslaught vs Surfer with no defined powersets stated, I would not be so nit-picky.
I'm probably nitpicking myself, but using hyperbole as a thread specific is kinda ironic is it not? According to the OP, how would you then define infinite strength etc? And if we take specifics at face value, that would be pretty stupid, wouldn't it?
I simply took it to be an Onslaught vs Surfer matchup, with the OP reminding people of the powersets. Can you imagine a thread by those hulk fanboys with "specified" powersets? NO ONE would be able to overpower the hulk going by specified powersets. Logic has to step in sometime.
