To start off, let's kneel and pray for the death of Jeph Loeb who started this whole mess. His Superman/Batman with all its pretty pictures has turned Darkseid in the eyes of comic readers to be as much of threat as Green Goblin.

The purpose of this thread is to show how ridiculously powerful Darkseid is.

Note that there is no such difference between Pre/Post Crisis Darkseid. They are the same person. Like the GL Corps, he survived the Crisis with no ill effects.

Wipe out everything you think you know about Darkseid and begin anew. Again NO CREDIT GOES TO ME. It all goes to JIMMY SAN.

First, we'll start with Darkseid casually disintegrating a Pre-Crisis Daxamite:

Next, here he is turning PC Validus from gigantic, Legion-bashing beast to frail, mortal child with the wave of a hand:



www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/pbfc5f1f8c8863de17f2156405dc7b135/f9db793f.jpg




Here is Darkseid stunning Kalibak, the same Kalibak who was barely fazed by three consecutive, window-shattering punches from The Supermen of America's Brahma, said to have Superman level strength, and Darkseid accomplishes the task of TKOing Kalibak with a casual backhand:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/pf909e531ab62f5079caa76997edb6699/f9e2aa31.jpg



Here, just being near Omega Beams (Darkseid later confirmed that 'Seid was operating at less than full-power when he did this, coming off of the Doomsday attack to his person) burned Superman's arms:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/p24a35513f8409eeb5f576e374ffb8572/fbdd8f57.jpg



Here's Darkseid with a casual blast of The Omega Beams sending Superman flying out of control, grunting, and stunned, with GL and Plas freaking out, trying to cushion his landing as to prevent harm from befalling him, with Supes staying down for several panels, as Darkseid struts off, smiling. Martian Manhunter states that Superman is unharmed, but attributes that to the fact that Darkseid merely wanted to goad The JLA into battle, not to hurt Superman:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/p5985172ef565255ba14e0ffb3965cea1/fbdd864b.jpg



Also, during OWAW, Darkseid defeats Superman, beating Kal down with three punches and forcing him to listen to 'Seid's plans:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/pd55a9f60974c3f94b66f685071686e58/fbdd8646.jpg



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/p7c18e8b452cb9333381c18e72b82bc42/fbdd81d1.jpg



Once Darkseid's explained, and Superman has regained coherence, he sucker-attacks Darkseid, and this is all the good it does him:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/pdf9c7a376b78e746826b570a7b3a99e8/fbdd81cc.jpg



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/pb182f179dd01f797f98ca796d83471b2/fbdd81c8.jpg





Darkseid, after being weakened by expending his Omega Beams on destroying Imperiex, and being drained by Braniac 13, still proves superior to Superman in strength and energy weilding levels, before shrugging off a Supes punch, blasting him into a wall, and it being interrupted:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/pf970f0951b1d9860a27d5a797e48b68f/fbdd7a8b.jpg

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/pf54265781a682afce3c8742fd886da90/fbdd7a7c.jpg





Another time, summoned by Highfather, Superman arrivs on New Genesis, attempts to attack Darkseid, and is stopped by his Omega Beams (held back as Darkseid needed Superman unharmed for his plans), which blast him for three panes before he collapses, limp, and TKOed, Highfather being concerned for his safety (the writer later confirmed Darkseid could've easily killed Supes if he wanted):



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/p43f271405bb78d83ae047fd1cf65a746/fbdd46ca.jpg



Here, Darkseid TKOes Doomsday, rendering him helpless and beaten for the time being, with one blast, and leaves him buried under rubble, which he then liquifies, via Omega Beams, and walks off as it dries. While DD eventually revives, after it's dried, and takes some revenge on Darkseid via a sneak attack, the writer of this scene and Doomsday's creator has stated that he had in mind that Darkseid would defeat Doomsday 15/20 when he made this scene:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/p03ea3d0bd0d2379ea00cf372ba835123/fbdd33c9.jpg



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/p4117c53963bdf3cf6086f58a40c75de9/fbdd33c6.jpg



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid71/p747fe3fc2364a4e19b26d55dc48722ff/fb9b1381.jpg





In Super Powers vol.2 #6, Darkseid, with a wave of his hand, projected his power through a hologram of himself, and effortlessly defeated Superman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, and multiple other heroes --- Jack Kirby himself collaborated on this scene:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid106/pe0fb5c86846dadf5ae802dc927a747fa/f9707780.jpg







It was strongly implied and basically outright stated in a roundabout way in New Gods#15 that all pre-JKFW Darkseid losses were avatars, and that the "true" Darkseid likely can't lose on the physical plane:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid102/pe25f4376ec5cb89f75df348afec891be/f9cca559.jpg





In Anarky's series, Blasfemy, a demon powerful enough to stand up to Etrigan in a slugfest, and actualy hurt Etrigan with his energy blasts. as well as take Etrigan's physical and energy-based assualts without being KOed, even when his arms were pinned, was introduced:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid71/pd3da497dec8d1e77e1fbc60db204a16b/fb9772a1.jpg



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid71/p0185292573d8698f5c2b3ef2cb8d5552/fb97729c.jpg



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid71/pe6a9fd1a531e2181465df7036ec14505/fb977295.jpg





Despite this power, when faced by a Darkseid avatar, described in this issue as merely one aspect of Darkseid's omnipotent being (and in the past a small extrusion of a part of his nearly infinite energy), Blasfemy's energy blast does absolutely nothing to the avatar, as he effortlessly walks through it, picks Blasfemy up by the neck, Blasfemy struggling with both arms futiley to break his grip, and decapitates him with a single close range blast from The Omega Beams:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid71/pfb700d0239af41ae30c19a0dca247350/fb977017.jpg

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid71/p7bb7be6db6fd90b6a730a10ccfe514bf/fb977010.jpg



Darkseid's Omega Beams have also hurt The Spectre, who was staggered by them, before being forced to counter (slowly) with his own energy:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid67/pa3dc34a72e383294e662d0d93f4cc4c0/fbd7b508.jpg



From The Great Darkness Saga, Darkseid is unfazed by Mon-El's attack and proceeds to KO him and put him into a coma with a single blast:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid67/p1b688426af4b6e2ded2e20d2166a93aa/fbc4e6a5.jpg



Likewise, Darkseid effortlessly defeated The Legion of Superheroes, and appeared to display low level reality manpulation in the process:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid67/pa29faca26c7f84b19add82aeb5de5655/fbc4e6a1.jpg

From Stern's Superman run, when Superman challenges Darkseid, saying "Over my dead body!" after hearing of his schemes, Darkseid traps Superman in the ground for several panels with his Omega Beams, further stating "Do not TEMPT me, Superman", as if he could easily kill Supes if he desired it so:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid100/p0b61009840e364c381c4570f49b851cb/f9e393e8.jpg



Darkseid's teleportation beams have been confirmed by Sleez, the first to know their touch, as wipeout beams which reintoduce the recipient into existence elsewhere qickly after the wipeout, as when he stated, "For an instant that seemed an eternity, I was less than nothing. But I was not destroyed. Instead, I found myself transported":



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid100/pce7d0f5ccc835ec0b5669b7116a2157c/f9e5b5a6.jpg





Heck, even when The Forever People were time displaced by them, it was stated that they exist, but no THERE, at the time Darkseid was in, as if their very existences were erased from their proper time (before Highfather's Alpha Bullets undid this). When Secret's powers were taken away by Darkseid, they appeared to not be drained, but rather erased, and we actually see her entire timeline flash by as The Omega Effect hits. After this, she is a normal, mortal girl, and Darkseid says The Omega Effect can be manipulated in many ways, as he did when teleporting The Forever People to different times.



What does this have to do with power, you ask? Well, as those he teleports can thus be wiped from existence by him for good just as easily if he wishes it so, let's take a look at some of those he has casually teleported across time and space with them ...





These would include a group of powerul young New Gods known as The Forever People:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid69/p3afd7f90bdf6aa56e15d95819de64f7c/fba9cc1c.jpg





Other recipients would include Superman:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid100/p7954b6f052025cf483b7f5380a52af23/f9e3bbff.jpg





As well as Lightray and Orion himself:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/p420f23dc512e00aaf1ed2c191cc9dcb7/f9d5abec.jpg



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/pcb2d283b8394cdd3f980c92f284aea85/f9d5d6b1.jpg





And Martian Manhunter (Lightray's actually suspicious that Darkseid DID obliterate J'onn in this one):



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid99/pdc69ed3c6e70a370e93404f8ffe66845/f9f1c903.jpg

Let me introduce you to Necronomina. She can raise the dead and has control over them:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/p982779e4f99bd9618bf517accf63da84/f9d5cd9b.jpg



She can also defeat Orion with one attack, albeit a surprise attack:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/pfdab4a059a94907568916bfb978fb8bb/f9d660b0.jpg





Yet, when Darkseid gets POed, she gets on her knees, kisses ass as she's never kissed ass before, admits she KNOWS that he can easily destroy her, and that she fears him, yet states that she also respects and admires him, and begs him to spare her life and grant her the favor he promised for the return of Orion:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/pbf56fad365483f1fdd463b2bebbae117/f9d61f1c.jpg





Here is Yuga Khan, who M'onel (a being who's confronted Superman, Mordru, Lobo, etc.) said was, by far, the most powerful being he ever encountered, and who was said to be able to end civilizations with an eye blink, plus cut off all New Gods from The Source, easily bested New Genesis' armies, and absorbed the life energy of entire planets to get back up to full power after his release from The Source Wall, in a conversation with Highfather. He is Darkseid's father. When Highfather states how someone will find him and kill him for his attempts at breaching The Source Wall, before he was trapped, he states that no being in existence, save his own son, has power even remotely approaching his own, and adds that sons can never kill their fathers, implying that Darkseid actually has the raw power neccessary to kill Yuga Khan, if you remove the father/son clause:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/p01f2af13c056f5aa084b426e3d20d88e/f9d58829.jpg

Here's an other image where Darkseid explains that he IS the revelation; the tiger-force at the heart of creation. While this doesn't exactly mean much as far as battle goes, it's still a cool scene and I sure as heck wouldn't want to get into a scrap with a guy possessing that title:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/p6f3b5f3ef36d757022cae151222758d7/f9d9f65b.jpg



Darkseid has handidly defeated The Infinity Man, who possess the powers of The Forevor People (strength, speed, magnetism, TK, flight, elemental control, intangibility, mental powers, energy blasts) combined and amplified, in a similar relationship to that of Captain Planet and The Planeteers. Orion has admitted The Infinity Man more powerful, and he appeared to be at LEAST as powerful as Captain Marvel, if not moreso, during Panic in The Sky, PLUS he easily defeated multiple Gravi-Gaurds, when a single one proved capable of defeating Superman. Darkseid banishes him from our realm and traps him (for months) in weird and unique part of the universe, placing there with him with a barrier I-M can't budge. It isn't until The Forevor People use their special connection to summon him after he mentally contacts him that he's able to be brought back to our plane, to help them battle Devilance the Persuer:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid100/pc086560f5f6ca9b50bbe8fd46127b1ff/f9e65927.jpg



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid100/p76eabd5cf26449412ba384ea7f6b724f/f9e658f8.jpg



Next time they meet, Superman is having trouble with one of Darkseid's automatons. His heat vision has no effect on it, and it restrains him with minimal effort. Then The Infinity Man is summoned by The forevor People. He easily destroys the automaton, freeing Sueprman, with a single blast. Afterwards, a punch from both of them levels another. the, Darkseid teleports and traps each with his Omega Beams (and a reference is made to the Kirby issues of Forever People, further proof that Crisis never affected The New Gods, plus Supeman stating The OE is took quick for him to dodge), before banishing I-M one more with The Omega Effect, stating that he can't resist the Omega energies, bringing fourth The Forever People. Soon after, he teleports Supes and The Forevor People away, before they're intercepted by Highfather:

Thought I'd throw in Darkseid reviving a slain Bernadeth:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid100/p9406aa7df57f1a8e09bb8041e1788b38/f9e3ae19.jpg



In Lobo's Greatest Hits, the JLA-bashing, Superman-stalemating/sometimes bashing, Despero-hurting, M'onel-stalemating, Captain Marvel stalemating, WW-pimpslapping, Etrigan-stalemating Lobo punches Darkseid at super-speed to no effect, save to hurt Lobo's hands, before Darkseid shrugs him off, and wipes him from existence with The Omega Beams, or begins to at least, before a time warp clause inside a black hole saves him:

Here, he wipes out Batman, and even The Black Racer is unaware of Bats' final fate:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid69/p9eeebe69ae397338b8f0f2272bd40007/fba997db.jpg



In Hunter/Prey, after Darkseid's powers have recuperated, he finds Superman on the ropes against an Apokoliptian tech-amped Cyborg Superman, and decides he's had enough, obliterating Cyborg's body and encapsulating his life-force with a single blast from The Omega Effect:

The Firepits of Apokolips were established as a mere extension of Darkseid's power in an issue of Wonder Woman (plus he was going to destroy B13/Imperiex enhanced Warworld, and all knew he could, before he was warned that Imperiex would escape if he did):

These Firepits have KOed Superman and hurt him so badly that he suffered from amnesia:

Agogg was a Doomsday/Kurse-level beast able to easily defeat Lightray and Orion:

Darkseid shows he's too impressed for words, really, when he casually wipes a cowering Agogg from existence with The Omega Effect:

Yeah. I know. It's the server. Just go to this site: http://www.comicboards.com/newgods/view.php?trd=040620012237

All the pics work there.

I'm basically just copying and pasting the entire page.

Go to this site:

http://www.comicboards.com/newgods/view.php?trd=040620012237

The pics work there. It's the server.

Some are. Some are not.

HOWEVER Pre-Crisis/Post-Crisis Darkseid are one and the same. There's no difference. Darkseid didn't even NOTICE the Crisis until just before it ended. And he was merely annoyed with it.

After Darkseid absrbed the power of so many Pantheons he killed across the universe, even Odin seemed wary of his power, stating to The Asgardian Pantheon that it was beyond their ability to reckon:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid91/pcc284506f49c858285524d58d7741261/fa66603f.jpg

And if you think they're much weaker than Marvel's version, this Odin created a pocket universe, and Darkseid, while destroying other Pantheons wholesale, FEARED Odin up until JKFW#4, where he had gained enough power to defeat Odin. Also, DC Thor fought the Wonder Woman-level Big Barda, it being a breif stalemate with him holding the obvious edge, and Mr. Miracle states that Barda can't stand up to Thor long before her inevitable defeat (he then interferes and takes Thor out himself with his newfound God powers which gave him team-wrecking status before he gave them up). That she was even able to stand up to him as long as she did was stated as a testament to her mettle, despite being outclassed in power by Thor.

Also, DC Odin banished DC Surtur to his pocket universe, where he stalemated the combined JSA, including the Skyfather-level Thunderbolt:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid110/pbd477189a2bb4c526e3f3b81f93d33e8/f913a49c.jpg

Darkseid gave the team-bashing Mantis his powers:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid110/p83deafa05f2f4493a5842530890fc12a/f913aa63.jpg

This is Darkseid's battle with and defeat of Orion after Highfather returned Orion's full power, true form, and life essence into the clone mockery Darkseid had made of him, from The Great Darkness Saga's conclusion (both ere slightly weakened):

During The Hunger, Darkseid used his matter and energy manipulation abilities to create and empower automatons with the strength to stagger Galactus, hungry as he was, and 'Seid did it with nothing more than a thought:

Darkseid also easily defeated the Silver Surfer and flayed off some of his silver skin, prompting him to scream in agony, with one blast of The Omega Beams:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid67/p536083384cdb87dc7a603396766dd835/fbd5e54c.jpg



To add to that, Darkseid blasted Galactus with The Omega Effect wipeout beams, and they appeared to be working, erasing his form completely on the first panel and turning him to pure energy, before he appeas to counter The OE's effects with his power or his importance, and is faded but no longer erased on the next panel, admitting afterwards that Darkseid's power is great, then he's back to normal on the third, blasting Darkseid away, which hurts but doesn't KO 'Seid:

During GDS, Darkseid proved capable of teleporting Apokolips and Daxam at once, holding them literally in his mind as they're switching locations and galaxies, and mind-controlling 3 billion Daxamites:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid91/pc677ab2c0b95683cd3079854cf6f5809/fa661adf.jpg


Also, after the Orion fight, Darkseid defeated a powered-up Pre-Crisis Superboy and was about to defeat a powered-up Pre-Crisis Supergirl, while holding back, so as to not exert so much energy that he lost his control of the Daxamites, as he tells Kara ("I have not the strength to waste on such as you", ebfore it's interrupted by the combined Legion of Super-Heroes simultaneously blasting him, which he shrugs off:

Others who fell by Darkseid's power include The Time Trapper, who created a pocket universe:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid91/p43f96c55a3c80cb0fea2485461528b3f/fa661ac1.jpg





As well as the Legion/JSA-bashing Mordru:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid91/pb30252d79fccf6c8c240de57404f1f27/fa661ad2.jpg

Darkseid easily defeated Raker Quarrigat, the greatest Green Laantern of his age (the Hal Jordan of his time, bare in mind he defeated Klibak FAR easier than Hal did, granted a rookie Hal, but Hal was still stated as signifigantly more powerful than Kyle there), catching a GL-energy powered punch from Raker, and crushing his hand, sending him scurrying off to The Gaurdians, and intimidating him so that he beleived even they stood no chance against him:

Later, Raker seeks out a rematch. He attacks Darkseid with a special weapon, utilizing his superior speed, and car

ries him into the air. Darkseid is unharmed, however, and talk as it happens. He charges up his Omega Effect, which is blocked by a GL construct. Te construct is strecthed, and bursts before the OE's power, sending them both to the floor. Raker attacks Darkseid whiel they're down there, again failing to hurt him and gets so desperate that he goes for a shovel, Darkseid charging up his OE to wipe Raker from existence, before The Gaurdians interfere using a force feild:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid75/pa03d8479ad0d1eb67f7f2e3e728be8c9/fb5081cb.jpg



Darkseid then bargains witht em that he'll end the war if he can keep Raker as his prisoner:

Later, in the ish, Raker helps Orion and Kyle escape from Apokolips as Darkseid is going to OE them:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid75/p7ad5218baceb8350d6c719abde726df3/fb503f82.jpg





A scene in Walt's Orion series later had Darkseid confirm that he could've easily killed Raker while he was on Apokolips at any time, but tolerated his existence, as he's useful :


http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid75/p7d9399f0e777d83f9222d976fab31889/fb503f7f.jpg

Darkseid also erased Tigra's ex-boyfriend (and a high-ranking member of the Elite) as well:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid104/p95421d0dadf0e5c8e274e964f2b4660e/f994d9be.jpg





Here, Orion sucker-attacks Darkseid, but to no avail, as Darkseid quickly regains his bearings, and trades evenly for a panel (before they fall into --- and survive --- the Firepits):



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid110/pc4e2f2b1a588e0e801e50ce00b00c085/f913a471.jpg





When Kalibak had The Belt of Strength, Orion indicates he's now as strong but not as skilled as Darkseid, saying he has Darkseid's fury, but not his control, which, while semi-ambiguous, is likely a statement of physicality, as he was describing Kalibak's new power at the time, and compares it to Darkseid's strength:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid110/p7cdd73509f933cf75f3e282aa16500b0/f913aa38.jpg





In Mr. Miracle's series, Darkseid, at giant size, destroyed planets via RESIDUAL energy, and while some have claimed it's "symbolic", there's no more proof for it being symbolic han for Odin and Seth's galaxy-busting being symbolic:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid109/pa1dd045048128006656e2da5b5aa7399/f937b1f5.jpg



Think Thanos holding his own before being overpowered by Odin is a big deal? Darkseid actually managed to stalemate Highfather:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid104/pb9eccf3a8ed9ea2518ce7c30425cbbf5/f98dd7e1.jpg

During Crisis, Darkseid sheilded The New Gods' continuum from its effects and ensured its survival by chanelling his Omega Beams through Alex Luthor, who acted as a conduit between Apokolips and the normal DC continuum, with Darkseid's tech (his "science" allowing him to shoot Omega Beams ("gaze" through Alex's eyes at The Anti-Monitor. The Anti-Monitor is dying, afterwards, y his own admission. He's also weakened to the point where Superman destroys him with one punch, when before, all of the heroes combined couldn't dent him and he defeated The Spectre:

Together, Darkseid and Highfather managed to bust The Source Wall (a feat which later took the combined might of Highfather, Zeus, Odin, Jupiter, and Ares to reproduce--- and that's while The Source Wall was weakened ...!):



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid104/p2cc3eb271b26eed5469a2a6e1b4d41e4/f98db9da.jpg

Darkseid frees The Legion and Dark Superman from a trap they couldn't even dent by waving his hand, then defeats Dark Orion and his older, granite self:

From Cosmic Odyssey, an angry Superman charges at Darkseid, and is just as easily dismissed; hurled backwards, whence he came:

From Genesis, Darkseid defeats and imprisons a powered-up Ares who was owning all of DC's heroes at once (even overpowering Takion), by trapping him in an energy feild which hardened time and space themselves, as the gigantic Ares is attempting to seize Darkseid's armada:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid103/p01fa630d716408e92db0f2108ad9b802/f9aa2085.jpg

From Kirby's series, Darkseid causes the sky itself to flash and rumble with lightning, in response to Orion's words:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid110/p35a672d91bd7dd63fe14cc83ab79edbe/f913aa27.jpg



Powergirl admits that even the combined JLA and JSA was not powerful enough to defeat Darkseid himself (though they did defeat his minions and thus thwart his plans):

We actually had an image of Darkseid's Pantheon-busting from Walt's Orion series, and it appeared to be solely via Omega Beams:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid68/pc8409f0c3da73339ee26804922f350a2/fbc33955.jpg



Here, Darkseid manhandles Metron, who's been shown to be about twice as strong as an average New God of The Celestial City, and who hasn tken Captain Atom blast to no effect:

Darkseid projects his dark essence into The Source, and forces it to open itself to him, as his very essence causes it agony, which, taken at base value, appears at least a skyfather-level feat:



http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid110/p50e4e9ce1cb5f7accdae4df5cc642e7a/f9143934.jpg





Darkseid effortlessly blocks a blast from Atinai, daughter of Highfather, who built The Celestial City, and easily stalemated two Supertown New Gods at once with one hand:

I hope this gives you some clarifications about how truly powerful Darkseid is. Don't buy into the 'Superman beating Darkseid" crap. This thread clearly shows that the writers were bull****ing us.

Crap. It's incomplete. More to go:

While Darkseid's weakened in Hunter/Prey, Superman is unable, in two pages, to even dent some special Apokoliptian missiles from Darkseid's defense systems --- Darkseid steps in and instantly annihiliates them with Omega Beams, Superman statiung he'd never seen anything like Darkseid's Omega Beams before:

Darkseid sends The Outsiders, including The Eradicater, flying throguh a Boom Tube with the wave of a hand, and they remark of how easily he disosed of them, indicating his much greater power (he also teleported a city back):

HOWEVER Pre-Crisis/Post-Crisis Darkseid are one and the same. There's no difference. Darkseid didn't even NOTICE the Crisis until just before it ended. And he was merely annoyed with it.

True, there is no reason why Darkseid is depowered, same for all the new gods, right?

Alternate dimension means it didn't effect them in the way it did D.C Earth.

True. But you can't argue that Supes, Wonder Woman, Flash, etc. would outright get owned by Orion, Kalibak, or the Female Furies. Cause when it comes down to it, they're all depowered.

Otherwise, why have threads involving Orion, Kalibak, Stephen Wolf, or any other New Gods against Marvel or even current DC characters?

Orion or Kalibak would stomped Supes in a fist fight thread. Same way Darkseid would beat up Thor and Surfer if we went by just what's said.




The 4th World is still part of the universe. Darkseid helped out with Anti-Monitor. He also made a pack with Luthor during OWAW. He's certainly not outside of influence.

Darksied is one my favorite DC villians

i can't view any of those scans for some reason.....

Darkseid can beat the entire JLA AND The Spectre? I thought Spectre alone would have it in him.

If Darkseid occasionally laid the smack down on Spectre, Can't a well written Big G do the same?

If Darkseid and the other New Gods weren't affected by the Crisis, then have everyone else grown in power?

Don't mess with Doug Side.

Another Kick ass Darkseid respect thread done by the same person.

Darkseid loosing too Superman twice actually doesn't count why;

1) He made him over-confident in Apokolips now.

2) He was hit by his own OE in the eye giving him a headache, giving Superman enough time too take him close to the sun, Darkseid would have won that match if he wasn't stuck too the source wall.

Neat thread.

I've said "please resume"...it means to be brief, not misunderstanding.

Just since you guys seem to be using the outdated one, here's the newer one ...

For the most part, this will be in chronological order. In some cases, something from one era gives context to something from another era, so the scenes will be put together. Aside from that exception, though, this is in order of earliest to most recent.


There will be a few sections to this thread. Sometimes, a scan will be used in more than one section due to relevence, but for the most part, these sections will seperate scenes:



Cool character moments - It's obvious that people are more prone to be biased against characters they don't care about or dislike. Also, to tell the truth, I'd be happier to see a respect for the guy's character than a respect for his power level as a result of this thread.



Feats of intelligence - Recent Super-title appearances aside, Darkseid isn't a retard. Here I'll prove it.



Text-based respect - Times people have feared Darkseid, admitted his power, retcons, etc.Peices of text that give context to a physical feat or tell of an off-panel event won't be included here. This section is just to show how powerful other DCU characters think Darkseid is, or times he's clarified something that could be viewed as a weakness.



Debunking anti-feats - On some occasions, lower showings of Darkseid have IMO been exaggerated, and the exaggerations have become popular board myths. Some of these actually contain positive feats of power, I beleive, but even the ones that don't aren't quite as bad as often made out to be. Because of the nature of this section, my descriptions will be more subjective than in any other part of the thread.



Battles and feats of power - This will showcase battles Darkseid has had, as well as times he's just proven his power level. There are also a few things here that just show his versatility, if not neccessarily his raw power.



Whew. With that out of the way, let's get to it.

Cool character moments



After he was left dissolutioned by the death of his former wife, Darkseid drains all vulnerability from his mind and soul -- literally:

Darkseid likens his actions to a force of nature:

Even with the universe at stake if he miscalculates, Darkseid betrays Highfather in an attempt to snatch the power of The Source for himself:

Darkseid knows how to use resistance to his advantage:



http://img332.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lantern12bl.jpg





Unlike other dictators, Darkseid doesn't let his ego get in the way of his ability to recognize useful servitude:



http://img333.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fireball9sr.jpg

http://img333.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fireball15cb.jpg



Darkseid listens to a threat and slaps aside an annoyance at the same time, proving he knows how to multi-task :-):



http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=huge1ho.jpg



Unlike many of the selfish villains in comics, Darkseid actually beleives his own hype. He actually considers Apokolips paradise and thinks everywhere else sucks:

Like all minions of Apokolips, even the powerful Mantis realizes that what Darkseid says goes:



http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f996d842jpgorig5eg.jpg



In Crisis, Braniac acknowledges Darkseid as the only being powerful enough to help him stop The Anti-Monitor:

Darkseid rules Apokolips through absolute fear:



http://img489.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fear1vc.jpg



A telepath called Sleez was mind-controlling Superman and Big Barda. It was suggested that Superman was more succeptible to the mind control because it started while he was unconscious, but in the same book, it's stated that Superman's mind is actively resisting the TP. Anyway, Mr. Miracle is completely immune to his TP, which he attributes to being trained trained to resist any level of TP short of Darkseid's own:



http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9f82a8fjpgorig8pw.jpg





While die-hard Kirby fans know the real reason Darkseid lets servants do his fighting for him, newbies often seem to think he lets his servants handle his business because he's afraid of a fight. To remove any doubt, he explains it himself here:



http://img481.imageshack.us/my.php?image=servants9ip.jpg



The Giffen/DeMatteis JLA wants none of Darkseid. Nor does Manga Khan:

Darkseid states that The Lords of Chaos fear him, and this seems to be backed up by them slinking back whenever he yelled for them to stop. The Lords of Order say they don't fear him, although the Lords of Chaos seem to think they're lying:

Powergirl recalls a battle where the JLA and JSA managed to stop Darkseid's Para-Demons, but for all their power, couldn't defeat the big guy himself. Oh, and Trigon is "probably a big wuss compared to Darkseid" :

After seeing 'Seid hurt by Doomsday's surprise attack, Superman remarks that he never beleived it was possible to hurt Darkseid:



http://img385.imageshack.us/my.php?image=omega4ap.jpg



Darkseid peirces Highfather's cloaking defenses, and so Izaya takes a leave to make sure DS wouldn't find Takion, as if he did, 'Seid would "surely destroy" him:



http://img441.imageshack.us/my.php?image=takion1210xr7nt.jpg



The avatar retcon. Darkseid basically states he's never lost, but his avatars have. Technically, that's a retcon of all losses before this period. Because the others were previously retconned, though, the Doomsday thing is pretty much all this could apply to. Of course, some beleive he needs to spell out the battles in question for it to count. I guess people can judge for themselves:



http://img442.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9cca559jpgorig2ra.jpg



Takion considers Highfather and Darkseid the most powerful (and apparently strong-willed) beings there are:

Orion admits the obvious power difference between himself and his father:

Debunking anti-feats





A popular claim on the internet is that Doomsday just took a point/blank Omega blast and was fine, then proceeded to pound DS. In actuality, it was far from point/blank range. Also, the blast left him down long enough for Darkseid to walk over, make a speech, and walk away. In fact, he melted the rubble DD was buried under before he left and DD doesn't start moving again until after it's fully dried. Given the time it would take that ammount of molten matter to solidify, this implies he was down an entire minute or thereabouts IMO. It's not clear how much damage DD took, but I beleive it's clear that he was incapacitated and needed time to recover. I've included the last two relevent panels as individual scans, instead of the entire page, to draw proper attention to my point about the rubble. Here it is:

There's a common bit of board hype that says GL (Raker) deflected Darkseid's beams and had him at the mercy of a shovel or whatever in their second battle. This is blatantly not so. Their first, more conclusive fight aside, I'd like to give my take on this, complete with scans.



First, Raker catches 'Seid slightly unawares with his speed and lifts him into the air with a weapon of war. Now, notice there's no visible damage. If a war weapon can't hurt DS, why would anyone think the shovel would've? Anyway, afterwards Raker tries to stop the Omega Beams before they form by containing 'Seid's charging eyes. Notice that, in the only definitive power match of thise fight, the Omega Force quickly bursts the ring's energy, sending them sprawling. They trade blows for one panel. Then Raker grabs a shovel. What's often overlooked is that, on the panel with the shovel raised, 'Seid is not only starting to rise, but he has Omega Force charging in his eyes. Before we can see what would've happened, the Guardians put a bubble around DS, and he stands down. What would logicially have triumphed if they didn't interfere, though? Omega Beams or a shovel? Personally, while I beleive Raker held his own in this brief battle, I also beleive it was about to come to an abrupt end for him if not for the blue guys.



Anyway, here are the scans:





http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fb5081e4jpgorig4do.jpg

http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fb5081cbjpgorig9nm.jpg





Now check what happens between Darkseid and The Guardians. 'Seid does feel it's best to not war with them, but he's confident enough to demand a peace offering for it to happen -- namely Raker as a slave. The Guardians agree to this and even erase the day from their record books to save face. Now, if The Guardians were so much more powerful than Darkseid that they could've easily overpowered him and just taken their GLs back, why didn't they? Seems to imply to me something about how close he is to an Oan. Also, notice what Darkseid's servants do to Raker. Honestly, would that ever happen to DS himself? Judge for yourself:





http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fb505ce1jpgorig3vm.jpg

http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fb505cd9jpgorig2mh.jpg



Anyone who beleives the shovel wouldn't have been disentegrated by Omega Beams must also beleive that the shovel is tougher than a GL power battery, given what happened in the same issue:



http://img447.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gl80pggnt309nastynat5mp.jpg



Just to add even more context, check this. The orange-skinned GL chick here manages to knock Raker down in a sparring match. While this is sparring, I think it has to count for something as far as showing they're not too far from each other in skill and willpower. Darkseid has absolutely no trouble snapping her neck:



http://img447.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gl80pggnt345nastynat5ed.jpg

http://img447.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gl80pggnt354nastynat6ey.jpg





In case there's any doubt still left, Darkseid outright states that he never wanted to kill Raker, which is the only reason Raker's still alive. Raker not only doesn't object to this statement, but asks if the first reason given is the only reason. He's answered promptly:

The Orion vs. Darkseid Walter Simonson fight has been used as a low-end 'Seid showing before. This was done in the form of "honorable warrior's combat"; IOW strictly HTH, though at the end DS cheated to throw the fight. Orion actually does get ahead on points before DS throws it. Nonetheless, parts like the slap-aside at the beginning make 'Seid look to be the stronger of the two, IMO. Anyway, something to note about this fight is that both combatants are fighting like hardcore martial artists, relying on speed and skill the entire time. Here it is:

After the Simonson fight, Darkseid's physical state is never revealed, though next time he's seen on-panel, he's just fine. Orion, however, is still "exhausted" two issues later:

Darkseid's gotten a lot of flak for his two losses to Superman and how recent they were. While I won'teven try to defend the jobfest that was Apokolips Now, S/B#12-13 gets exaggerated IMO. Up until WW teleported in by surprise to deflect his beams into his face, then the fight was taken near the sun, I beleive Darkseid had Superman well in-hand. A Darkseid sucker-punch, and Supergirl risks her life to sheild Supes. A Superman sucker-punch, followed by a flying bumrush, and 'Seid just shrugs it off, backhands Supes down, and this time WW steps in and risks her life to save Supes. I beleive the way the fight was panning out on Earth implies that, without his beams hitting his face and without Supes' sun-amp, DS would've won the fight. Anyway, you can judge for yourself:

During GDS, Darkseid ended up in The Legion's timeline, stripped of most of his power. By absorbing some power throughout the arc, he returns some of it, although he's never fully back to his original powr level. Anyway ...





Darkseid makes short work of Mordru:

The Time Trapper wasn't much more trouble:

Darkseid takes Mon-El's laser vision to no effect and puts him into a coma with one blast:

Darkseid teleports Apokolips and Daxam:

Darkseid takes care of The Legion with transmutation, energy manipulation, and telepathy:

Darkseid kills Orion in battle. Note that it's stated how Orion, like Darkseid himself here, is weakened compared to what he once was:

http://img490.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fa6642b5jpgorig1qe.jpg



After his grueling battle with Orion, Darkseid takes care of Pre-Crisis Superboy and Supergirl, who've been amped by Highfather. Also, he takes a blast from all of The Legion's energy-weilders. It makes him drop Kara, but other than that, he just shrugs it off:

http://img351.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fbc4e69fjpgorig6cr.jpg



The Anti-Monitor here is weakened, but he absorbs the entire power of his universe to help balance it out, and he still has enough power after absorbing the rest of his universe that he's crushing Golden Age Superman and Superboy Prime with one hand. Darkseid uses his resources to establish a link between himself and Alex Luthor, allowing him to "gaze" through Luthor's eyes, and then channels an enormous energy blast through him. This blast sends The Anti-Monitor sprawling into the sun and leaves him dying. Golden Age Supes lays down the finishing touches afterwards:

Darkseid shows that he still remembers Crisis, and uses his powers/knowledge to re-create Parasite from a universe away:

Just to stop some of the "everything blocks The Omega Effect" posts, Darkseid sets his Omega Beams to pass inangible through everything but their intended target:

Darkseid grabs Superman (in the guise of Clark Kent) so fast that Supes didn't even see his hand move:

And here's two feats from a Post-Crisis GDS aftermath issue ...



Darkseid turns Pre-Zero Hour Validus into a child:

Disintegrates a Pre-Zero Hour Daxamite:



http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9db7939jpgorig8zd.jpg



Aside from the dread or suspicions that Darkseid destroyed people in the scans themselves, here's something else to add context to scenes where the OE teleports opponents. There've been several issues declaring that wipeout beams don't attack physically, but teleport the victim into oblivion. Something less well-known is that, at least according to one issue, people teleported by the OE are briefly wiped out, then returned to space/time at another destination. At least, that's what Sleez seems to be saying when he remarks that for an instant he was "less than nothing":



http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9e5b5a6jpgorig7xv.jpg





Darkseid completely vaporizes Kalibak with a touch:



http://img415.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mmiracle9st.jpg



Granny along with some beings Barda and Mr. Miracle were fighting share Kalibak's fate via Omega Beams. Also, when Darkseid is threatening Mr. Miracle's life, notice Big Barda is smart enough to keep her mouth shut and just stand there. Additionally, 'Seid teleports without a Boom Tube:



http://img351.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mister4nh.jpg

http://img351.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mister20qt.jpg





Superman mistakes Darkseid for the enemy at a time when DS was recruting Kal as an ally. Superman tries to attack 'Seid, but it doesn't seem to work out for him:

http://img490.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fa690920jpgorig8sk.jpg



Darkseid is hit by the power of of an Anti-Life Entity aspect channelled through the wire of his machine. The explosion of another one of these caused the destruction of a solar system. He's stunned for a moment by it, but looks coherent afterwards. Etrigan, not so much. :



http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=etrigan15ll.jpg

http://img506.imageshack.us/my.php?image=etr7lx.jpg





Dr. Fate combines Darkseid's power with his own, Highfather's, Orion's, and Etrigan's (though, in this case it was revealed Etrigan's connection gives him power he can't fully tap, but DS or Fate apparently can). Combined, they stand up to the Anti-Life Entity (an abstract) for several pages, and create a chain reaction that destroys his dimension:

Darkseid vaporizes Lashina:

Darkseid shows the ability to control some wind or something like telekinesis:



http://img435.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vaporizes29gb.jpg





Darkseid ressurects Lashina from being vaporized:



http://img481.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lashina9mk.jpg





The plot to this story is a bit whacky. Mr. Miracle has some special miracle soap that makes people "clean and manipulates their minds to be good. It enthralls The Female Furies and several lowlies. Darkseid resists its effects easily, restores all of his servants to their normal states, and turns the miracle soap to dirt:

From a Roger Stern story, when Superman tries to stop Darkseid, he gets handled pretty easily. Good characterization of both characters as well, IMO:

http://img359.imageshack.us/my.php?image=action638012ic.jpg



Darkseid has a reality manipulating chess match of sorts with Eclipso in his own realm. Eclipso apparently wanted DS' body and power, but as he stated, they're "too evenly matched". Seems they try to settle their physical disputes by claiming superiority mentally. Neither shows superiority, though:



http://img350.imageshack.us/my.php?image=eclipso10046vw.jpg

http://img350.imageshack.us/my.php?image=eclipso10225zu.jpg



In this story, Kalibak was using Apokolips tech to intercept small portions of Darkseid's Omega Force behind his back. With this portion, he creates a barrier to stop Orion. Orion manages to smash it, but stuns himself in the proccess. Also, this portion of power teleports Lightray:



http://img392.imageshack.us/my.php?image=smash0st.jpg

Darkseid reduces Kalibak to a skeleton by touching him:

Darkseid kills a bunch of Dregs (zombified Old Gods) with Omega Beams:



http://img358.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9d5ea75jpgorig6dw.jpg





Darkseid easily banishes Lightray and Orion. They also seem to think he could've killed them if he wanted:

http://img375.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ng075gf.jpg



Darkseid imprisons Superman and The Infinity Man combined, then again banishes I-M the same way he did in Kirby's run. A few pages prior to this are included, just because they show the power difference between I-M and Superman:

Superman fails to do any damage to two Apokoliptian missiles from the royal defense systems. Darkseid, despite being weakened, obliterates them with little trouble:

I'm sorry; where do you guys post respect threads?

Superman's arms are burned just from being near an Omega blast hitting the Cyborg while Darkseid's Omega Force is weakened. Cyborg doesn't look that great immediately afterwards either:

http://img515.imageshack.us/my.php?image=slumped1lg.jpg





Superman's now starting to get the worst of a fight with Cyborg Superman, who's integrated Apokolips tech to power himself up. Darkseid, now back to full power, steps in and vaporizes Cyborg's body (as well as imprisoning his consciousness) with one blast:

Darkseid pounds 3 Darkstars (more or less DC's version of Jack of Hearts; about like GLs in raw power, but minus the versatility) at once as practice:

Darkseid destroys the places of power The Kilg%re was hiding itself, however, with "anti-energy" blasts, while Highfather speaks of him as "invincible evil":

Darkseid shrugs off a GL blast, stops Red Rocket's armor with a thought, shrugs off Captain Atom's tackle, and KOes CA with one backhand:

Darkseid matches strength with Highfather during the original war:



http://img353.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f98dd7e1jpgorig7go.jpg





Darkseid's life-force causes The Source itself agony, forcing it to open itself to him. In the process, he also became the first being ever to successfully bully his or her way into The Source:



http://img353.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9143934jpgorig1oz.jpg



Darkseid tells his minions to keep their mouths shut and ressurects Orion after he was torn in half:

Darkseid displays the ability to make constructs that serve as monitors to far away places, as well as being able to teleport objects into his grasp, and creating Boom Tubes with his Omega Beams:



http://img398.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newgods07127do.jpg

http://img398.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newgods07136hm.jpg



To add some context to this next scan, that is Atinai trying to attack Darkseid. She was shown handling two average New Gods at the same time in this run, as well as creating a structure that contained the madness of The Source itself, and perhaps most impressive, she singlehandedly created Supertown out of thin air. She's partially this powerful because she is Highfather's daughter and was imbued with a fraction of his power. Anyway, Darkseid pretty easily blocks her blast:



http://img358.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f914393fjpgorig8vj.jpg



The Omega Beams nagivate through the maze of The Source's concentrated madness and teleport Highfather back to the outside world:

When Superman tries to attack Darkseid, mistaking him for the true enemy again, he's stopped by Omega Beams. Admittadely, he does stand up to them for a brief time, but the fight is quickly taken out of him, and he collapses to the floor. To add some context, the writer has stated that, with the "we treat no one like a slave" comment, Highfather was warning DS not to kill Superman:





http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fbdd46cajpgorig9ff.jpg

Highfather and Darkseid's energies are stated as potent enough to balance creation and stabilize the madness of The Source:

Darkseid creates Stayne, Takion's equal and opposite, with a wave of his hand (and demonstrates that he can size-change):

Orion attacks Darkseid's avatar in a confrontation that quickly falls into The Firepits. (It's revealed a few issues later that this was really an avatar walking around since #12, as in #11 Highfather did something screwy with Darkseid's physical body and his own, leaving DS only able to project himself through avatars until the end of #15 ... Very convoluted plot) Here it is:



http://img442.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f913a471jpgorig7kj.jpg





While the rest of the battle is off-panel, the conclusion to the battle is not left ambiguous. Here's Orion after the fight is finished:

The state of Darkseid's avatar afterwards? Alive, well, and overpowering The Forever People's Mother Box, warping the direction of Vykin's Boom Tube:

The avatar is "vastly more powerful" than Vykin, who's a decent magnetist:

The revelation that this is an avatar:

Here's a page which gives a small idea of how many worlds Darkseid stripped of Gods in his Pantheon-slaying:



http://img307.imageshack.us/my.php?image=jkfw03185mr.jpg





The confirmation that it was indeed entire Pantheons he destroyed:



http://img326.imageshack.us/my.php?image=jkfw04151ls.jpg





After Darkseid's amps from absorbing the power of Pantheons, DC Odin admits that his power level is now beyond Asgard's ability to reckon:



http://img490.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fa66603fjpgorig7hq.jpg



Here's a scene from Walt's Orion run that shows a highlight panel of the slayings. While this is just one example of him killing a God, the panel was obviously meant as a representation of all of his Pantheon slayings, and what he's shown using to accomplish the killings/power-stealing is Omega Beams:



http://img335.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fbc33955jpgorig7zh.jpg





For comparison's sake, let's take a look at Blasphemy vs. Etrigan. Now, it is clear in the end that Etrigan is more powerful overall, based on the fact that his mystical containment thingie held Blasphemy immobile. On the purely physical level, however, they look about on the same level. Both rock each other with blasts and punches, but neither hurt each other too much with them:





http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fb9772a1jpgorig6il.jpg

Now first, so you don't have to take my word for it, Darkseid stating he is manifesting himself as an avatar in this issue:



http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fb977017jpgorig9uj.jpg





And here's the avatar's performance vs. Blasfemy. IMO, the physical and blast-strength difference between the avatar compared to Etrigan is obvious:

Darkseid and Highfather fly to The Source Wall at "unimaginable" speeds:



http://img477.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newgods10194qs.jpg



Darkseid and Highfather combined destroy The Source Wall (later, in Genesis, it took Highfather, Ares, Zeus, Jupiter, and Odin to recreate this feat, and that was while the Wall was weakened):



http://img353.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f98db9dajpgorig4ze.jpg



Darkseid projects himself through a ton of constructs all over Apokolips, letting his minions know that they'll never be free from him:



http://img477.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newgods11195gm.jpg





Darkseid frees Kalibak from shackles created by Alpha Force-empowered Mr. Miracle, and it's revealed that The Alpha Force and Omega Effect are the antithesis of each other:

Darkseid dismisses The Outsiders and restores their abducted city's population with a gesture:

This is just for all of those people that claim Darkseid's not that powerful, but instead a good strategist whose armies do everything for him. A Darkseid avatar, essentially his version of a GL construct, crushes an Apokoliptian rebellion:



http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=anarkymini2168ct4pn.jpg





This is a surprise attack of sorts. Still, Darkseid has no trouble restraining Orion, and more importantly, everyone present, including Highfather and Takion, beleive the Omega Beams could kill him. Oh, and yet again, Barda and Mr. Miracle don't even try to stop 'Seid, despite what he's doing to their champion:

Off-panel, Darkseid creates a star-ship thing stated to be larger than the state of New York. He says it was done with a "tiny fraction" of his power:



http://img464.imageshack.us/my.php?image=genesis6xj.jpg

http://img451.imageshack.us/my.php?image=genesis27mf.png





Zeus and son seemed pretty impressed by 'Seid's little construct:

Darkseid stuns Kalibak with a relatively nonchalant backhand:



http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9e2aa31jpgorig9ct.jpg





For comparison, in Genesis, while Ares weilded the Godwave, check how handidly he overpowered a huge group of heroes. Takion is the only one who even slowed him down:



http://img494.imageshack.us/my.php?image=heroes6aa.jpg

http://img494.imageshack.us/my.php?image=heroes11ci.jpg





When the Godwave-wielding Ares reaches to crush DS and the others inside of his star-ship, Darkseid imprisons him, causing time and space itself to harden around the War God. Surprise was involved, but Ares remains held by 'Seid's power long enough for DS to explain the predicament to the heroes and for the Godwave to be dealt with:

Here's the story of the current Kanto, originally named Illuthin. Note that, despite the skills he later learned, Kanto 13 was stronger than him. Anyway, Darkseid steps in, and uses his Omega Beams to teleport Kanto through time:

Check out just where Illuthin ended up and took his training:

Darkseid's Omega Beams completely disentegrate Kanto 13:

In this story from JKFW, Kalibak has tapped into an ever-growing portion of Darkseid's power. Using the energies from Darkseid now flowing into him for the purpose of increaded strength, Kalibak defeats Orion. In case anyone's wondering, Orion was saved from death by Valkyra safricing herself to The Black Racer in his stead. Anyway, here's the fight:

http://img283.imageshack.us/my.php?image=jkfw17186re.jpg



Afterwards, Kalibak drains even MORE power from Darkseid while he's trapped on The Source Wall:



http://img364.imageshack.us/my.php?image=jkfw18129jq.jpg



After this, Metron freed Darkseid from The Source Wall, preventing Kalibak from draining any more power. Anyway, despite the additional power that Kalibak leeched from Darkseid after his battle with Orion, it doesn't quite look like what he drained was enough to close the power gap. See for yourself:

Darkseid teleports without using a Boom Tube, in a way even Superman's vision powers can't track:



http://img417.imageshack.us/my.php?image=jkfw20155lu.jpg





Darkseid contains and crushes a charging GL ring from an attempted attack by Raker Quarrigat, the greatest GL of his age. Also, notice the convo between Raker and the Guardians afterwards:

Darkseid teaches Wonder Woman to respect his pimp hand:



http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=darkseid16en.jpg



This is just to show versatility. Aside from quoting Alexander the Great, Darkseid creates his last will & testament out of thin air:



http://img524.imageshack.us/my.php?image=strongest19hv.jpg



http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=strongest7kp.jpg





Darkseid attacks the Hal Spectre, who, due to Apokolips' evil nature, was murderous at the time, thus likely using his full power. Omega Beams actually make The Spectre express pain. Afterwards, Spectre does overpower 'Seid, but it takes a few opanel. Seems like DS' energy matched The Spectre's own for a moment, however briefly. Then Spectre vaporizes him, only for DS to reform because of his importance.



http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fbd7b508jpgorig7uu.jpg

http://img369.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spectre13bv.jpg

http://img425.imageshack.us/my.php?image=darkseidregen5gj.jpg



The statement verifying that Spectre was murderously evil at the time, for anyone curious:



http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spectre36vd.jpg



Something notable here. While Darkseid acknowledges he can't stop The Spectre from protecting Anomolie, Spectre acknowledges he can't stop 'Seid from following them wherever they go and attacking, at the cost of other lives:



http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=forgiveness23gn.jpg







When Superman gets too annoying, again, Darkseid blasts him away and smiles. Supes is stunned for a few panels even though his landing is cushioned by Plastic Man and GL combined. Also, J'onn seems to think The JLA would be well-suited not to pick a fight with DS, and Luthor agrees:



http://img484.imageshack.us/my.php?image=done7wa.jpg

http://img484.imageshack.us/my.php?image=done13vt.jpg



Darkseid wrecks Superman HTH:



http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=supesdarkseid19un0pf.jpg

http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=supesdarkseid25xg7mb.jpg



A few pages later, after Darkseid's explained, Superman wants none of his plans, so he attacks Darkseid. DS shrugs off his attacks, Supes hides from his beams behind the Aegis, then he flies away:



http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fbdd81cc4ey.jpg

http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fbdd81c85ns.jpg





Darkseid lends his Omega Beams to Kismet-possessed Superman, and together they destroy Imperiex's armor:



http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imperiex1eu.jpg

http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kismet0pq.jpg

http://img405.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imperiex16vc.jpg





Darkseid battles Superman after having expended some power on Imperiex. As a result, his beams are less effective than normal, but still look more powerful than heat vision. Oh, and for those looking for strength showings, DS overpowers Supes in a contest of strength after one panel, and gets in a choke-hold. Supes does manage to break free after a moment or so, but it didn't look easy for him at all. DS does land the last attack before they're broken up:



http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=svsds5zn.jpg

http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=svsds50za.jpg



After the fight, Darkseid banishes Grayven:



http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=banishment4yb.jpg



After Imperiex-powered Warworld's attack, Apokolips is left drained of nearly all of its energy. Everything artificial on the planet but the Para-Demons are shut down.With his personal power restored through spiritual energy, Darkseid reignites the Firepits and recharges all the energy of Apokolips. Apparently, his personal power runs the place. Oh, yeah, Supes and WW thinkhis beams would destroy Warworld too:



http://img393.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fa68a8e2jpgorig4hx.jpg



And just to show you how powerful the Firepits alone are:



http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9e3bc0fjpgorig5uz.jpg

http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9e36f74jpgorig6xp.jpg

http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9e36f4fjpgorig0zm.jpg



Also, Wonder Woman is killed by Firepit energy and Darkseid shows the ability to generate force-feilds:



http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wwkilled8it.jpg

http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wwkilled15dg.jpg



Darkseid erases Tigra's ex-boyfriend, who was a member of Apokolips' royal guard:



http://img490.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f994d9bejpgorig6fz.jpg



Darkseid manhandles Metron, which gives Metron enough incentive to do what 'Seid says:



http://img353.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f9143939jpgorig5hm.jpg

Alright, this next Darkseid feat involves Secret after she'd fully realized her powers. Despero feared this potential, and in this issue, you can see why. Check out how ineffective beings like The Ray, Red Tornado, Superboy, and Wonder Girl are against her:



http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=secret9zm.jpg

http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=secret18cb.jpg



Darkseid takes care of Slobo:



http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fbc76dbejpgorig5qe.jpg



Darkseid then depowers Secret with a single blast:



http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f880d1e1jpgorig0yr.jpg

http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f880d1e3jpgorig9zp.jpg



Oh, and this shows exactly what Dakseid did to Slobo with that blast earlier:



http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fbc7677cjpgorig7ob.jpg





Darkseid chokes Kalibak with one arm:



http://img338.imageshack.us/my.php?image=supermanaliensiigodwar04074no9.jpg





In this scene, Superman is slightly weakened due to a poison cloud on Apokolips messing with his sunlight. Orion's full power. They're facing a Hivemother alien. IIRC, in the previous Superman/Aliens, Superman at full power struggled against one of them and compared it to Doomsday. Anyway, here they'e both not having much success against it, up until Darkseid steps in:



http://img514.imageshack.us/my.php?image=supermanaliens5hi.jpg

http://img338.imageshack.us/my.php?image=supermanaliensiigodwar04162ei3.jpg

http://img338.imageshack.us/my.php?image=supermanaliensiigodwar04179bf5.jpg



Darkseid destroys the alien inside of Orion. Interestingly, his beam passes intangible through Orion and only harms the creature inside of him. Orion also seems surprised he's still alive after it lands. Then Darkseid lets him and Supes leave:



http://img338.imageshack.us/my.php?image=supermanaliensiigodwar04186mc3.jpg

http://img338.imageshack.us/my.php?image=supermanaliensiigodwar04194px7.jpg



Darkseid's power is such a presence in the universe that time itself collapses without its presence:



http://img463.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29022fc.jpg

http://img494.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29032ls.jpg

http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29105ko.jpg

http://img367.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29134ft.jpg



To take away confusion as to whether or not this is a feat denoting power, Darkseid's power level is stated as the reason for why this occured. Next page is also included for the plan:



http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29079yu.jpg

http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29087ta.jpg





The older, weaker stone-form Darkseid imprisons the Legion and brainwashed Superman combined with a single wave of the hand:



http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29066pu.jpg





Young Darkseid frees the Legion and brainwashed Supes with a wave of a hand, plus stuns his older self with a blast:



http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29114gz.jpg

http://img367.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29122gy.jpg



Young Darkseid easily bashes one of his older self's servants, which were all top tier or second tier in power (hard to tell which one this is, to be honest):



http://img367.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29160oe.jpg





Having gone through the servants in his way, young Darkseid is about to face his older self, before Orion attacks him. He shrugs off a blast of Astro-Force, easily manhandles him, and uses him to kill his older self:



http://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29184gm.jpg

http://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29198rc.jpg

http://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29203ji.jpg





Note, after his older self is dead, young Darkseid has no trouble mentally dominating the beings his older self was previous controlling, and forcing them to attack the Legion. These include a GL, a Martian, Lobo, Barda, and Firestorm:



http://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion29211pk.jpg





Darkseid is sucker-punched by current Superboy. He is affected, but not knocked down or even off-balance much. He then stops the kid with one hit:



http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion30024bu.jpg

http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion30037ha.jpg

http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion30043uf.jpg





After another change of reality, 'Seid is surprise attacked by two mid-tiers (Superboy and giant-sized Violet) and two upper tiers (Livewire/Element Lad amalgam and Kid Quantum). Because he's caught off-guard, they keep him off-balance long enough to knock him out of the Boom Tube. He shrugs their attacks off the second he lands, though:



http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=legion30086la.jpg

Darkseid subdues and mind-controls Kara Zor-El (mostly off-panel, but these scans gives the jist of it):



http://img464.imageshack.us/my.php?image=supes11qd.jpg

http://img417.imageshack.us/my.php?image=darkseidpimp7ps.jpg





From Loeb's recent S/B time travel storyline, one of Darkseid's arm's > both Etrigan's arms in strength. Now, this was while reality was being mucked with, but there was no indication there was a power-down, and Darkseid's actions here lead to the With A Veangance S/B arc, so I think we can safely say it's canon evidence:

WOW....spelled backwards is wow....Nice

That's all, folks. There are some showings that've come out since I made this, along with some earlier feats I stumbled on or was informed of. I'll probably add the extra feats tonight or within the next few days. There's only about 5 of them.

This is where it needs to be....

Still though great start for a respect thread... if this keeps going you'll probably get an asterisk next to your thread for being a recommended read.

Mr. Master should do the same and make a respect thread too..

so should GS... though I haven't seen him around lately. :/

When you read a comic you dont like you actually start crying dont you?

Darkseid KOes Earth Angel Supergirl, the same one that beat Despero. Granted, Supergirl was small at the time because she went to Apokolops through magic rather than a Boom Tube, but it didn't matter because most of her powers (including her strength) come from willpower:

Hey!

Are THE Jimmy-Chan who wrote the original Darkseid respect thread?

EDIT: OOPS! Nope. That's Jimmy SAN....

Oh well....

Darkseid banishes The Forever People again and they fear him. It must be noted, though, that he felt they were a threat to him and Desaad (or maybe he was talking about the threat of losing Desaad):

Yes, I'm the same guy. I just decided to switch up which Japanese suffix to use when I came here. Check out the last two pages. I posted my newer, updated respect thread here because the one you posted isn't nearly as comprehensive, has some broken links, and I was a lot more biased with my descriptions back then.

YAY!

Thanks for the respect thread and the recent links.

Prior to the respect thread I posted, everyone believed that the Thing could beat Darkseid in HTH combat...

Well, I posted my position on S/B like two pages ago in the "anti-feats" section. Here's some feats from S/B#24-25 that were better.


Darkseid knocks Supes into the Wall:


http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wall31lh.jpg
http://img158.imageshack.us/my.php?image=supermands16he.jpg
http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=freeing1ab.jpg
http://img104.imageshack.us/my.php?image=freeing83rd.jpg


See what Superman says when he's being freed? You could argue that the reason he was unconscious on the Wall was because of the Wall itself, but as you can see, Darkseid stated that he was conscious and thinking of revenge while on the Wall. So either Darkseid's punch KOed Supes, or Darkseid remained conscious while on The Source Wall, whereas it KOed Supes. Either way, he comes off looking better.


Darkseid take Kara's hit to no effect, in fact safely walking away with his hands crossed behind his back as she attacks him:


http://img56.imageshack.us/my.php?image=darkseid4ln.jpg
http://img60.imageshack.us/my.php?image=superboy07nl.jpg

This is just a feat of intelligence, but Darkseid conquers New Genesis:

Darkseid's humanoid form manifestation/avatar, Dark Side, traps Mr. Miracle in Omega, which creates a series of "synthetic lives", although Shilo does end up "convincing" Omega to release him ... Looks to me like he created his own pocket realities. Judge for yourself:

That crazy!!

People think that Hulk could beat Mongul though....

I found another, earlier issue where Darkseid owns Secret. Now, this is BEFORE he trained her in her powers well enough that she took YJ's combined attacks to no effect, but it's well AFTER she owned Despero's psionic/astral self (who was still well above J'onn in TP), first making him run in fear, and later banishing him to oblivion. Also, it's one of the few times she got angry and went all out. Pretty funny scene as well. Here it is:


http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/6098/youngjustice3708aq6.th.jpg

http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/4034/youngjustice3709qk8.th.jpg

http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/8643/youngjustice3712gn9.th.jpg

Here's another few scans. These mostly deal with the nature of Darkseid's power and some specific battle arguments, rather than his actual power level.


For everyone who writes off Darkseid teleporting people away as a non-feat or due to his lack of ability to kill them (I've heard it before), it is DIRECTLY shown that people teleported by the OE are removed from reality and hurled through what's described both as "infinity" and "oblivion." The point is that Omega Effect teleportation involves erasing people from existence. The only difference between teleports and wipeouts is that he hurtles people briefly through oblivion for teleports, whereas for wipeouts he leaves them there.


Evidence:


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/bmovie_buff/Omegaeffect1.jpg


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/bmovie_buff/Omegaeffect2.jpg



Many people seem to think Darkseid is limited to using eyebeams or something and mention that as a weakness. In truth, he is perfectly capable of using wide beams or even omni-directional blasts:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/bmovie_buff/Darkseidomniblast.jpg


And finally, here's another one that shows Darkseid's power over his minions. For the life of me, I still don't see how some people argue that he uses his armies because he can't win a fight personally, or that having trouble with a group of random troopers is consistent with being on par with DS himself.

He launches The Omega Effect into the atmosphere and reigns down random death and destruction (including destruction of souls, apparently) as a mere warning, in a reminder that he leads Apokolips because of the extreme fear that he command:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/bmovie_buff/Darkseidatmosphereblast.jpg

Sweet. Keep it up.

Eh, I've pretty much posted every Darkseid showing that exists and is still relevent (part of his continuity and not retconned) If I post any more, it'll have to be from future issues or scenes where Darkseid just "looks" powerful or badass, but doesn't do anything concrete.

My favorite scan is Darkseid actually managed to stalemate Highfather. Yeah...Highfather himself. Awesome!

Just as scan showing the cruelty and evil of Darkseid.

I have no clue if these scans are in this thread, (honestly I didn't even look)....


This is a feat often talked about, but rarely seen.


Darkseid controlling the minds of 3 Billion Daxamites, while simultaneously switching Planets from one place to another....

He did this so the Daxamites would be super-powered:

Brainiac confirms the number of Daxams under Darkseid's control, and also confirms that each Daxamite possesses power equal to PC Superboy's:

Darkseid releases his Daxam slaves upon the Universe:

Awesome Respect thread

Darkseid should not be questioned,when involved in a versus fight,This thread is very informative and leaves me with more respect for Darkseid,job well done to all

Ive said this too much on these boards, Barring a canon retcon,Characters are used by many writers and for many comics,they have to be grounded in the many characters that exsist in DC,of course we have low showings,every character has them,i dont know why more people cant see it for them selves,thats why the rules say at "Optimum Levels" and have other rules which even disregaurd a whole writers run on a comic

Nice counter arguments also
Darkseid has my respect

Darkseid is a badass, but it hurts his rep when his most recent showings haven't been that great. Hopefully when Starlin does his New Gods series DS will return to his original badass showings.

Darkseid destroys a mob of beings...... As a giant statue:

(The first scan sums Darkseid up quite nicely)...

Darkseid with a tiny fraction of the Anti-Life Entities power combined with his own, was able to seal the creature in it's own realm in order to prevent it from entering any other realm(s):

Even with just this small piece of the Entities power, Darkseid still would have had more than enough power to conquer his reality.

Someone needs to post scans of Firestorm #35.

.. I never knew. First real thing I ever saw Darkseid in was Superman/Batman (which shows how little I know) but yea he looked pretty damn weak.

With a gesture, Darkseid pwns Firestorm and Orion...

Darkseid then proceeds to separate Firestorm's halves, taking one of them prisoner:

I dunt know why I forgot to mention him.

Reaching into the Firestorm Matrix from the outside, and seperating the entities, is very impressive by itself, let alone downing the trio of badasses with one casual wave of a hand.

Very nice feat. I wonder what kind of blast that was that he shot from his hand.

An invisible pimpsmack blast

I was gonna return to update this thread with the Firestorm#35 showing but it seems it was already done.


The Dominator also cowered when he thought he was facing DS in GLC#9. It was really just a Durlan impersonating 'Seid but it at least showed the fear he commands.


Excuse my crappy scanner quality but I think this is readable:

Darkseid traps Superman on the Source Wall:

I should point that Darkseid was conscious and aware of everything including the passage of time while he was stuck there.

Superman was UNconscious and not aware of any time having passed. Jimmy-chan pointed this out in an earlier post in this thread.

Darkseid effortlessly resurrects Lashina from the dead:

Darkseid transforms the ground itself into a sentient being, of his own image...

Respect the will-power of Darkseid!

I have that issue. Really good! That had to be the best page in the entire story.

How about you ask the same from Jack Kirby.......
