Energy Absorption: even
Speed: Orion
Reflexes: Orion
Durability: Thor
Fighting experience/ability: Orion little more skilled
Striking power: Thor
Damage Soak: Thor
Best Berserk Rage: Thor
Strength: Split.
Intelligence : Both can be written as dumb tbh. Split.
Energy Projection: Split on average, but the God Blast trumps even the Astro Force.
Energy Absorption: Thor.
Speed: Orion
Reflexes: Orion
Durability: Split, edge to Thor I guess based purely on feats.
Fighting experience/ability: Split.
Striking power: Thor with Mjolnir.
Damage Soak: Split.
Best Berserk Rage: What?
The difference compared with Rage

Durability: Orion
Fighting experience/ability: Split.
Striking power: Thor with Mjolnir.

Best Berserk Rage: Thor
Strength: Orion by a hair, maybe. Otherwise split.
Intelligence : Split.
Energy Projection: Thor.
Energy Absorption: Thor.
Speed: Orion.
Reflexes: Orion.
Durability: Orion or split.
Fighting experience/ability: Thor
Striking power: Thor
Damage Soak: Orion
Best Berserk Rage: Not sure what this means.
I don't know that Thor generally has more damage soak then Orion. There are some portrayals where his damage soak is ridiculous like the recent Thor comic (Dude can take as much damage as someone with a legit healing factor and keep going) but Orion is as tough on the overall average imo.
I'd like to know why Orion is more durable. I honestly cannot think of a single reason as to why that would be the case. He survived being in a fire pit which is compared to a Star but Thor's best honestly kind of shits on that.
Is that just how you feel? I guess that's fair enough but for every good Orion durability showing I can think off at the moment, Thor has one that is a match or better.
The way I always saw the two was similar to how Superman and Thor are. One is harder to hurt than the other, but the other can take more actual injury and keep fighting than the other, as he's more used to it.
Strength: Orion. Slight
Intelligence : Orion. Slight.
Energy Projection: Thor
Energy Absorption: Thor
Speed: Orion. Noticeably(Not counting flight)
Reflexes: Orion. Noticeably
Durability: Orion. Slight
Fighting experience/ability: Orion. Noticeably
Striking power: Thor with Mjolnir. Orion when Thor doesn't have it.
Damage Soak: Orion. Slight
Best Berserk Rage: Warrior Madness Thor

Honestly speaking, this questioning of Thor's capabilities has arisen largely due to the ridiculous PIS-Worf showings in the last 2 years, that is if one decides to conveniently ignore the near-Pak-level insanity that was Fraction Thor. Thor has not been downscled to mid-herald or low-herald. Thor continues to remain at high herald, like his peers Surfer and Superman.
With the exception of speed(which in itself could be debatable), there is almost no category in which Orion can match up to Thor, much less exceed him. Anyone who says otherwise is, to put it bluntly, a hater, a troll or a bigot.
I can't picture Thor taking a pounding like Orion recently did against Superman and only smile afterwards like he didn't even feel it. That was an insane showing.
Physically Orion has consistently been more beastly. I don't see how anyone could disagree. Thor definitely has him in the energy dept. tho

^^Dude is always saying things like that. You're a troll if you don't agree with him.

That doesn't make sense to me, both have been depicted as highly intelligence. Thor also gained knowledge from Blake his human host and understand scientific conversations, and Orion has repair a boom tube device something like that, I think writers misunderstood their warrior attitude as intelligent, as where it takes intelligence to lead army godly beings and stagiest battle plans, if it was that easy who need generals.
I think they're similar in intelligence, but Thor has been displayed kinda stupid more times than Orion. I think the slight edge goes to Orion
