Hmm.. As much as I love Henshaw, he was never really equal to Superman. I mean, Eradicator messed him up pretty badly, and Supes came pretty close to one shot KOing Eradicator a few times (And completely manhandled him during that storyline when Brainiac had the world convinced Superman's body was still in his tomb.)
In a straight fight, I think Orion could take him either physically, or with burst of Astro Force.

When Dr. David Conner merged with him. Superman assumes he's gone rogue again, and opens up with some punches that have him dazed and seriously slurring his speech, like he's barely holding onto consciousness.
And that's true, but even if we assume that wasn't a low end showing for Eradicator (Superboy and Steel being gimped by Superboys weakness to energy, and Steel having a mechanical suit he could exploit), what Darkseid did to Cyborg Superman in Hunter/Prey proves he's nowhere near Supermans weight class.
Actually, what Superman did to Henshaw at the end of Return of Superman proves that.
While Orion has showings where he can hold his own against him, like Death of the New Gods and his fight against a Dominus manipulated Superman, where he wasn't in his right mind and more brutal than normal.

What weakness exploitation? You mean the same omega beams that stunned H/P Doomsday and superman got burned by just being near them when they struck Henshaw in a WEAKENED condition?
Where Henshaw was weakened by kryptonite?
He has showings where he gets his ass handed to him compared to superman too, like when Doomsday knocked his ass out and then owned him along with manjobber in one minute while Superman let Doomsday wail on him for like 15 punches and was still standing or when Brainiac oneshotted him and Lightray together only for Superman to beat the shit out of brainiac. Oh and Superman was holding massively against Orion in KOTW as he didn't want to hurt anybody and did the same against him in DOTNG.
Well in this match, I prefer Orion. He seems more manly. And he can pull that Astro Harness look off. Whereas Hank should think about maybe having a cropped hair look, who is he fooling with that half-head of hair?
Orin is physically superior to Cyborg-Superman, but I think I'd have to give Cy the win with his healing(the Parallax and Doomsday clone examples were impressive), ability to produce weapons for specific foes and that he very well could disable Orion's gear. Cy also should have a speed advantage, but I dunno if he's competent with super speed. I don't think he needs it anyways though.
