Wouldn't Orion without the Motherbox basically just go ape shit? Unless the Motherbox is present only to calm Orion down (relatively speaking) but otherwise provides no real function for this fight.
Freakin JLA characterized him as a gunzblazin unthinking brute who went apeshiet all the time. Made him too shallow. Bleh...

But his normal appearances painted a completely different picture. In one of his more skillful appearances, he defeated Darkseid without the MB (mind you Darkseid teleported himself away), and it proceeded to not work where Orion deduced that Kalibak was being amped off a belt, and then tricked him to attack Desaad. Plus a bunch of other shit

Totally. He was almost like a Lobo Lite.
Only good thing about it, was his friction with Aquaman.
In his solo series, he was pretty much a monster in h2h, the way he destroyed Slig after tanking his planetary level transmutation powers as attempted to kill him, completely wrecked Mantis, did better against Darkseid then Superman ever did (IMO), not to mention the speed feats (All done without his eyes)

Yet he still gets beaten by old man Hulk? (is what seems to be the overall view of the thread so far)

Hmm, where is this from? I don't remember the scene, got an issue number?
Also, the fight where Superman makes Darkseid beg for quarter is way more humiliating for Darkseid then the one with Orion. Too humiliating imo.

Slig was ****ing with the oceans and creating a shit ton of creatures that was really wreaking havoc on Earth. Orion tanked his hand twice and kicked the utter shit out of him. He also reversed all the damage instantly.
Hold on, the beating he puts on Slig is one of the funniest repeated panels I've seen.
Meh, Orion made Darkseid fake his own death and let Orion rule while he plotted against Orion.
Someone else can upload him doing it in the act.
