Superman vs. Cyborg Superman
It's been a few years since Kal and Hank have clashed; can the original Man of Steel beat Henshaw for the majority? Hank has no rings and a temporary destruction or near complete destruction of Hank's body will count as a "win" for the purposes of this thread. Battle begins in uptown Metropolis, but can progress anywhere the two of them can feasibly travel mid-fight.
No BFR.

Henshaw is vastly overrated.

Henshaw should rip Kal-El a new one with all the "upgrades" he has had over the years, but then Supes has the whole turning dials up to 11. Where does the fight take place? If it is in the JLA tower or Fortress of Solitude/any hightech base Supes chances become slim.
Edit: Reread the OP....hmm still give it to Hank.

Should and have are two totally different things. With the rings I give it to Henshaw without it Superman tears his body in half sooner or later.
....and Henshaw will reconstruct, come back after him, do significant damage to Clark, and then the scene will repeat.
Here in a forum fight...sans plot devices...Henshaw will eventually win as he'll constantly wear Clark down.
Its inevitable; Henshaw will defeat Superman...

It's never been inevitable save the sc war version.
Current DD took erad's hv to the face to no effect and then impaled him like he wasn't there. He was able to not only hit the Olympian (even with divine grace) every single time--when people like WW could not--but also KO him. Current Henshaw blitzed this guy in half.
Then even with his regen taken away, fought DD until he was little more than strips of himself. My point being that even if this is an insta-win via destruction of the body or near destruction, it's going to take a lot for Henshaw to even begin to wear down. So near destruction-- in this battle-- becomes a relative term, unless by near destruction, what is being referred to is an instance like the galaxy buster in sc, the willhunters arc in gl, or even the DD instance.
With that said, in a comic book, Superman would simply find a way. The same as cupping "bleed" in his hands, singing the god of evil to death, saving the omniverse, or nearly killing someone that the avatar of death and the void couldn't see.
In a forum battle however, he loses to henshaw. Keep in mind, Henshaw is fighting at full capacity.
