I'm not really sure what I should say to that! :)
I chatted to Greg today and mentioned the hero discussion. He said that the super hero does still have a form of the infinity rune and he defined this as reaching 6 masteries or so. Basically Harrek has 6 masteries in his main skill which puts him on par with a minor god like Hedkoranth, Vingkot etc but above a hero (four masteries). Bear in mind that he has only one incarnation, whereas the deities have many. If he gets killed, thats it, the results are less fatal for other gods, unless killed on their plane or node, which is much harder to do.
I also talked about Jar-eel and he concurred that without the Imperial backing she gets, Harrek would beat her, her edge comes from the support the Empire can give.
Given that I'd rate Onslaught at 4 masteries in his best skills, Harrek would beat him easily, much as Onslaught would slice right through a bunch of Huscarls at one mastery. Basically Onslaught is about as tough as a Luatha in combat and they were the foot soliders of gods. Harrek would stomp them easily. You'd need around 10 Onslaughts to really slow him down. Now there is a scary thought. Imagine inviting them all over for dinner!
This isn't hard and fast of course but it gives you an idea of where HW is going, for now anyway.
