it's a fair point. but my point stands -- there is no way to know henshaw could affect magus. he's NOT tech. he's a combination, different from tech and organic. is there a chance hank could control him? sure, there's a chance. but there is an equal chance that he couldn't. 🙂 imo, there is a better chance magus could affect hank (who is 'pure' tech), than there is of hank affecting magus who is something OTHER than tech. and again, the t-o virus would be able to affect hank's mind. 😬
I don't see anything that Magus can do that Eradicator can't in some way shape, or form.
he can assume a mass greater than a star. 😐 that's . . . really big. if magus LITERALLY hurled the entire planet they were fighting on into a star it would be tough for henshaw to evacuate. magus could also open a dimensional portal and perhaps get a win via bfr.
if hank can't affect magus directly, (again, he MAY be able to do so, but the reverse is also almost certainly true) there's no way henshaw could take him out, imo.
meh, my point in dropping by was just to say i don't think this is anywhere near as cut and dry as some first believed. 🙂

Hank has morphed non-tech things such as alien bodies, the source wall, children's toys (both simple and mechanical) walls, glass, and even an interdimensional prison meant to hold him specifically, etc...
The virus thing is not a problem. Willhunters. Telepathic plugs, the fact that Henshaw can scan and create an opponents weakness on the fly.
Hanks mind is a virus onto it's own. An immortal, intelligent, adapting, virus that can't be killed.

Magus would need time to do such a thing... Hank can become one with a planet and create warworld's with incredible power as well. He can assume mass as well. It's in his powerset.
Eradicator has the power to destroy a star as well and is literally limitless in power (as stated on panel) and is not exactly tech either but get's pwned by Hank on a regular basis. Erads has extremely powerful mind powers and T-vo as well. Technically, the Eradicator is not a machine either.
I do see that Magus has potential...I'm just not seeing anything that Henshaw hasn't conquered or pwned in some shape or form. Plus Magus has to deal with Henshaw's creation of power rings enhancing him further.
Magus ftw.
He isn't just big. Come on guys. If you don't know anything about a character, ya aren't gonna be taken seriously.
He is a "Space God" on an abstract level. He just hasn't been used enough to be explored properly.
Hank is unbelievable, no doubt. But, Magus would take the majority.
In a lot of ways, Magus is just a higher level "Henshaw".
