Scenario 1: Eeach is given a mission that they must exterminate the other, they start out at far ends of different galaxies, may use all resources available that they are able to acquire.
Scenario 2: They both are in a Colosseum, fight to the death.
Rules: Each is at their strongest, and has the choice to be blood lusted or not, or to use strategy.
Scenario 1: Zod isn't going to acquire any magic along the way to help himself, I think. Any technology he finds will be used against him in a court of asswhoop. Meanwhile, Hank is assuredly going to show up with power rings and an army of Highmasters.
Scenario 2: Zod tries to punch Henshaw. granted a full kryptonian body is probably stronger than Henshaw's average body, he only ever brawls when he has amped himself to have a strength advantage, which is something he can do at any time. not to mention Henshaw has a notch more chin than Zod. While Zod is trying to play Punch Out, Henshaw transforms his arm into a Kryptonian one-hitter beam in moments and ends it.
Hal struggled with Henshaw more then he did with Zod.

Not that it makes sense mind you, but it's one of the most bananas feat that a Kryptonian has against people supposedly on his level. He straight up hit him so hard he bypassed... everything. Not disintegration, not destroyed his body beyond repair. Just a good whack. Imagine putting down Super Buu with a really hard punch. A couple more shots and it seemed Henshaw wasn't getting up.
Zod's a brick that Hal beat. The comparison is meant to show that Zod one shotting him is at odds with Hal's performance against both of them, and the fact he needed a Daxamite sucker punch to even the odds.
Henshaw was trying to recruit Zod, not fight him. It was really a cheap shot. His mechanical half have never been as durable as the rest of him when he's clashed with Superman, but he simply reforms it.

Hal had to not go into brick-fighting mode to beat Zod.
You're contrasting two vastly different characters to bypass a direct comparison though. Pretty gay of you. Whether you want to say Henshaw could do better or not, you're not going about it the right way. And taking you at purely your own words to clear up the confusion, you just specified that a Daxamite sucker punch was needed to even the odds, like that exactly hurts Zod's case here?
He was ordering him to stand down and forcibly help him. Was he going to harden up his body ready for the punch? You wouldn't corner a rabid Carver and tell him to "stop defending Hulk or else" without fear of getting slashed.
And his whole body is mechanical. It's not like he's made of titanium on the "human" half and loose sheets of crusty tinfoil on the mechanical side.
That being said, the entire team including Henshaw failed to put him down afterwards; after specifically trying to put him down. Henshaw was not beating Zod 1v1 in that issue under his own power.
