He didn't fight the entire combined 100.
But the infant terrible and Terrax mind controlled were woefully ineffective because it wasn't true mind control but body control due to infestation with bugs.
Woefully ineffective? Terrax attempted to resist but the delinquent was unstoppable for the few panels he was shown. Difference between mind control and body control is irrelevant, the point is that they were powerless to stop themselves from doing Annihilus' will. The net effect is the same so there's no point in making the distinction.
Which is really irrelevant given that every singel Green Lantern can teleport.
this is irrelevant since they don't practice it to the same extent that the A-wave did.
Fights happen in character, not by power-set.

He fought them, from what we saw, in multiple groups and slaughtered them with casual ease.
Would you expect he could do that to the heroes of Earth? Really?

Eh? Wasn't mid tier Drax the one tasked with stopping him?

It's relevant in terms of the type of performance you're going to get out of someone. Someone like the Goddess, who made them believe that they were fighting for the right thing, had a much more convincing and effective control over her people than did the Annihilation Wave, as evidenced by the fact that the Infant Terrible did nothing and Terrax was obviously resisting.

If they're coming up against characters that do so regularly, I'm sure they will.

I thought this board had some sort of PIS rule?
Nah! The Nova Corp had elite and intelligent members from across the Galaxy.
I don't know about their numbers but a Nova is capable of incredible feats. The Annihiliation Wave was so huge they
-Wrecked the Nova Corps into one member.
-Destroyed the Skrull and Kree numbers.
-Captured Galactus and used him as a gun.
-Had high herald level beings in their ranks. Plus Annihilus himself who drained Quasar and got his abilities/he will make rings.

Rich in his own series had the power of the entire Nova Corps within him, and he was MAYBE a low level Green Lantern in feats. MAYBE.Typical Nova was way, way lower.
Huh? First of all he was High Herald easily. Rich had trouble controlling all of the Nova Force, so he didn't use it to the fullest out of fear of losing control.

T&A were never really part of the wave. Thanos cut a deal with them to capture Galactus, but they were never part of the Annihilation forces.
If they had been, I think the wave would have won.
Anyways, Annihilus himself, with the Q bands, could be a problem.. He survived Big G's temper tantrum, making him pretty durable (Although some of the name GL's have comparable feats, like Johns auto shield protecting him and Martian Manhunter...)
I could see all 7200 GL's holding their own with the main Annihilation forces. But it would take a pretty big force of GL's to really stop Big A.....

He was high herald in potential, but rarely tapped into it.. Him and Quasar had trouble with a fleet of ships, while Surfer just mowed through them like a hot knife through butter.

A Wave stomps.
Why?
Herald levelers were able to take the mooks and bulk of the wave, so what tips the odds against them? Annihilus? If a group of GL's can take Krona or Anti Monitor, they can deal with him. T&A? Like I said, they never attacked with the wave, only honored their deal with Thanos, and than they were done for the story.
