Who wins and why

Post crisis/DC rebirth
Henshaw stomps, with or without rings.
I thought without rings he was only marginally better than Supes with an insane healing factor. I'd agree he wins, pretty solidly even, but stomps? IDK
@kevd4wg: Hank punched a hole through Doomsday, one-shotted Superman with heat vision, tanked blows from Superman with no damage, tanked energy blasts from Silver Surfer (who likely wasn’t holding back THAT much. Considering Henshaw just destroyed a planet Surfer previously saved from Galactus), effortlessy busted Parallax Hal’s dragon construct, etc. He legit stomps.
@lanternbatman: nvm than
Hank is not just technopath, he can inhabit any metal. The uru of Bills hammer *might* be protected by enchantment, but there is no reason to believe he couldn't just slip into Bills helmet and attack his brain through his ear.
@tifalockhart: Bill used to be a cyborg because he was chosen by his race to dawn the enhancements to fight off "demons". These cybernetic enhancements are the main reason he was able to fight Thor in the first place. However, by the end of the story, I believe Odin changes Bill back to his organic self so he can walk among the Korbinites again without them fearing him. He actually does this by switching Thor's enchantment of turning into Donald Blake after 60 without the hammer over to Bill leaving Thor to stay god all the time.
Cyborg Superman.
Henshaw is frankly overrated. He has gotten stomped by Superman on like 4 or 5 occasions. Superman Red overpowered him. Superman, Supergirl and Power Girl trio stomped him when he was massively amped by a dozen of Sinestro Corps rings. Steel has given him problems.He had problems with Hal Jordan when amped by Phantom Ring. Supergirl of all people was beating up a Doomsday clone that wrecked Henshaw in the same issue and she also matched Henshaw's heat vision. Zod outright humiliated him.
Honestly just proving that Henshaw doesn't get bodied by Bill should be an uphill battle.
@intentdebatThor
Henshaw was able to tank a hit from post-crisis Parallax Hal Jordan without any significant damage, along with tanking many punches from Superman.. I doubt Beta Ray Bill fairs any better.
@dailyukulele: tanking a hit from Parallax is not impressive, even trash like Kyle Rayner can do that. Superman has literally wrecked Henshaw on 3-5 separate occasions, and Henshaw was taking major damage from Hal Jordan's/Arisia's attacks too, as well as got damaged by Steel, ripped apart by Zod and wrecked by a Doomsday clone that was losing to Supergirl. He isn't taking Bill's hits for long, his only chance to win is to spam energy blasts before Bill takes him apart.
