Uh, if the Milky Way galaxy was one of those galaxies wrecked by Odin's epic clash, then I'm sure it would do more than merely 'affect' the Marvel heroes.
As far as Onslaught causing a stir and people caring about him...you'll note that it was only because each team had a vested interest:
-X-Men cared because Onslaught was a mutant threat...and because Xavier was captured.
-Fantastic Four cared because their son was captured.
-Avengers cared because X-Man came crawling to them begging for help.
-Various Marvel villains cared because they, (esp. Doom), were looking to capitalize on the carnage.
Onslaught went far beyond marvel Earth his existence affected the whole Marvel universe.
Define the 'whole Marvel Universe'...cause if memory serves, his little cry for attention only seemed to affect Earth.
His eventual aim was to recreate the universe. These acts alone is far grander than Odin and his little Asgard relm.
An arduous task...one in which he
severely lacked the necessary resources to accomplish.
And as WWK said...wanting something, and having the power to actually do it, are two different things. Apocalypse has always wanted to conquer the world...yet he can't seem to get past a few little mutants.
This isn’t the case with Onslaught. With Onslaught what you have is a strong psionic (Xavier) and even stronger psionic (Franklin) and the strongest psionic (Xman) being boosted by the electromagnetic powers of Magneto. The end result is a being far more powerful than it’s individual parts.
Onslaught at his core was nothing more than a demonic-looking parasite...with electromagnetic powers. He then siphoned Xavier's telepathic powers, and kicked him to the curb...but he was in no way in control or command of Franklin's or Nate's powers to the extent of them actually being his. He was using them like Infinity Gems.
Galactus is always weak nothing new there, that’s basically his default setting. The avengers on their own also gave Galactus a good fight,
IIRC, the last time Galactus came to Earth...(and he may have come back since then, I'm not 100% sure)...the combined efforts of the Avengers, F4, and the Silver Surfer proved fruitless in even scratching him. They were beaten, soundly. Galactus only stopped when the Surfer agreed to once again become his Herald.
even Thor was enough to keep the cosmically powered Silver Surfer a good punch up.
Even though it's totally irrelevant to this discussion...you are correct.
Note that Thor got owned by one of Onslaught’s henchman.
And which henchman was that? Holocaust? Was he created by Onslaught? Uh no.
Galactus has also been knocked off by many non cosmic beings.
But certainly not by a LASER. BTW, which non-cosmic beings have beaten Galactus?

This guy has a habit of citing 'What Ifs' as evidence...it's pathetic.
