Was it actually stated somewhere if Orion was given an amp by the Source? I know he was sent by the Source, but I can't recall an actual on panel proof that states he was amped. Anyways, at the level he was in (ripping open a trans-tier) is pretty damn beastly. I also didn't realize Thor has the PG in this. Provided he stays upright long enough, there's no telling what level he can reach and how much he can draw upon the PG.

Ok, that's scene is pretty much proof that Superman is on HP Doomsday level.
Yes, Superman without holding anything back is on Doomsday's level. We already knew that Superman in said mindset was a beast, which is why Galan included him among other powaful dudes.

Look at Hal's other feats, aside from just his raw power output-- I can assure you he has some pretty darn good durability feats. Heck, even rookie Lanterns have survived planet-busting+ explosions.Taking out Odin is questionable, sure. However, Odin is likely more powerful than all of team 2 combined. Personally, I see no problem with Hal one-shotting any of them, given the chance. /shrug
I was actually referring to Krona's durability, but the same is definitely true of Hal.

When Orion first appeared, Darkseid stated that he struck him with "the power of the Celestial.":

Earlier in the issue, Darkseid referred to the Source Being as the "Celestial one.":

ie. Orion's assault was equivalent to the Source's... That's how I read it, at least. /shrug
And aside from Orion glowing with energy(which definitely isn't normal for him), Superman stated: "All that cosmic power, and it didn't come with a voice?":

...Not to mention that Orion was leeching Darkseid's omnipotence from him throughout the battle(as the first scan states):

So yeah, he was definitely more powerful in some way/shape/form.

Ok...I'm getting the events mixed up. Which Doomsday was that then?

They did jump in at the beginning and got owned.
Would that have really stopped Superman who defeated Darkseid in single combat alone? Some things have to be questioned. Like I asked before, was the threat level that high? If it was the League would have found a way to seperate the two.
