Solomon (though I think it'd be very close)
Darkseid
I would also like to add that one of my personal highlights of the Countdown series was seeing Solomon outsmart Darkseid, and essentially beat him at his own game. Dat wuz wyn!!11!!

Solomon is the one who told the heroes about the Soul Battery within Jimmy Olsen. That 'seed' is what made the heroes send Atom into Jimmy to search for, remove, and destroy the Battery.
This a.) prevented Darkseid from achieving omnipotence, and b.) allowed Orion to 'kill' him (which, as we would see soon after, is what initiated Darkseid's 'multiverse-busting' fall in FC.)

Srsly though I wondered the exact same thing while reading FC. After Darkseid's 'death', Solomon returned to the multiversal nexus with the rest of his brethren, and hasn't been seen since. I guess there just hasn't been a need for him since Countdown... But I'm sure we'll see him again.

I'm pretty sure we won't. All the Monitors except for Nix (who was made into a human) were reabsorbed into the Primal Monitor at the end of FC. As Nix said the Final Crisis was the crisis of the Monitors.

I don't think so. All Nix decreed was that Monitors were not to have any further contact with the germ world: (please log in to view the image)
The actual race of Monitors, the orrery of worlds, etc. seemed to be intact. Hell, the 'head Monitor' even invited Nix to rejoin the circle of Monitors (an offer Nix obviously refused.)
