Thus he was definitely amped during that battle to some extent-- otherwise, by his own accord, he would have been killed.Vis-a-vis, Orion stalemated a sun-amped Supes.

Anyhow, I wasn't really posting it as evidence for Orion. Typically he is portrayed as Superman's equal... That one feat is contradictory to pretty much every other battle they've had. The writer just got a hard-on for Orion there.
Not really a stalemate for me, but I'd take Orion against Helspont.
