Let's be honest. There's two factors that have to be factored in. One, Onslaught isn't as strong as they say he is. Two, the writers blew and didn't know all his powers. For example, Onslaught was able to control magnetism. How come he rarely used it? But used Magneto's powers to create forcefields and "uprooted the Earth beneath them."
When has evolved Onslaught been beaten in a physical matchup? NONE!!!
In my opinion, which I have had for a while, when Onslaught absorbed the powers of Nate Grey and Franklin Richards, he only absorbed a part of their powers and not all of it. Because if he did, he would of been unstoppable.
He did absorb all of their powers not just part of it. Onslaught's energy stemmed from ALL beings. Just by existing he was destroying the universe itself. He WAS the nexus of ALL psionic energies. If he was able to dissipate he would have been unstopable. The heroes stopped him by providing a vessel (before he could dissipate) which the Xmen could physically destroy.
mental powers
onslaughts mind power would not work on thanos,to me mind no one has been able to PENERTRATE his mental/physcic defences.moondragon with the mind gem couldnt manage it,xavier hasnt either and nate grey could'nt cope once he was in thanos's mind after thanos had let him into his mind.
If Thanos has a mind then Onslaught can control him, simple as that. Onslaught IS a psionic being and had absolute control over it. Even early on Onslaught challanged Jean and the Pheonix force in the Astral Plane and easily won. He then proceded to rip the Pheonix Force template from Jean Grey.
Magnetism manipulation
and magnetos/onslaught Magnetism manipulation would'nt work on thanos simply because he can control his own molecules
Magnetism and its affects EVERYTHING!!!! In order of smallest to largest
proton < nucleus <atom <molecule< mixture< compound
if onslaughts armour was cracked open via energy/matter manip therefore releasing his energy form,thanos could simply jump into onslaught like the heroes did.then it possible thanos could absorb him/his energy,after all he did absorb/master the naked energys of the heart of the universe
Onslaught wanted his armour breached in order to evolve!!!!! The first time was done by Magneto, the second by Hulk, in each time Onslaught rejoices.
If Thanos jumped in to absorb the energy then whose going to kill Thanos? All hes doing is providing a vessel for the energy.
