Since we're putting things into perspective, who has peak powered Onslaught defeated? IMO Onslaught's only hope of a win is if he would be able to hijack HP Doomsday's mind, and bring him over to his side. If not they should wreck him.
He defeated Earth. He had the entire planet on lock down and if we want to get down to it, he one shot koed Juggernaut, classic Jugs. Second encounter...he bypassed Jugs invulnerability and snatched the gem right out if his chest. Treated him like fodder. He defeated Hulk...palmer the Phoenix Force and crushed it. Stomped the Xmen with ease. Ripped through the Avengers that also had Thor on the team. Then at the end, he killed all of the Avengers, most of the Xmen and killed the Fantastic Four. Stomped Xman. The list is humongous. Apocalypse feared him...etc, etc...
He had earth on pock down like never before. The only way he was stopped was by a Hulk going in a rage like never before...their punches was creating shock waves that was sending the strongest of people flying. It was said that everyone there was in fear of their power. This doesn't include him having the entirety of Franklin Richards and Nate Grey (who was said during the time as being equal to the Phoenix Force). So again, who has any of these peeps defeated?
Lol...well, before the upgrades from Nate and Franklin he was trans tier. When he got possession of those powers and abilities, his power levels for you to determine. Wouldn't bet against a guy that could create a sun with a thought.
But that's kind of like judging him/them based on implied power, and not really what was shown on panel. Everyone that's fairly familiar with the Hulk, knows that he can punch very hard, but the same can be said of HP Doomsday. And, he doesn't need to have someone turn off his empathetic side, in order for him to go Beast Mode. Then you have Darkseid who has been said to be so powerful that if he didn't actually use a boom tube to enter the main DC Universe, that he would be as large as Galactus. Henshaw has had it out with Doomsday physically, and did extremely well.
On the other hand the Hulk rage killed Onslaught's physical body. So where I stand; anyone that believes that this team stomps Onslaught, wouldn't really be a stretch. Considering that the Hulk alone broke him. Can you dig it?
Great write-up, although you left massive amounts of context out. For example, the sentence about him killing all of the Avengers etc....they threw themselves into him one by one and killed themselves that way.
With that said, Henshaw ALONE could take peak power (psionic) Onslaught out. If the combined mass of the Avengers, FF, most of the X-men were enough, imagine what Henshaw with the mass of an entire planet could do.
