Just for comparison.
And look at how both fight the same character under the same writer.Henshaw quite literally laughs at Surfer and makes him dance like a ballerina on his board. Superman?

Henshaw is just a watered down Superman physically.

How close are Orion and Superman? Surfer treated Orion as a nuisance and took him out rather easily.

Brainiac owns Orion, Lightray and pretty much whole New Genesis with TK.Then he merges with a portion of his power which was used to create a mental creation of Superman's exact double (it was tested to be superman's equal repeatedly and even went toe to toe with superman) to be even more powerful
Doomsday owned him and J'onn together in one backhand. Superman took like a dozen intended to kill punches from the same doomsday.

There is always some context involved when Superman and Orion fight rendering it useless. But I bet even surfer didn't oneshotted Orion like Brainiac. Did he?
So every single fight between Superman and Orion have "context" and therefore useless? That sounds very convenient.
Technically Surfer 3-shot Orion.

In Martian Manhunter v2 9 Orion while bloodlusted cheapshots Superman with Astro force, Superman punches him and that's it for the whole fight.
In Superman confidential Orion took out a young and weaker Superman with surprise via Astro force. Superman took out Orion immediately with one punch.
The only fight worth mentioning is DOTNG 2 where Orion was bloodlusted and Superman was holding back.
So yeah, they are all useless in gauging Orion compared to Superman.
