Two fights
First Fight, Amazo with the original 7's powers versus Classic IM.
Second Fight, Amazo who had everyone who was in the league or reserves when Superman had to disband the league to beat him, vs. The uber Source powered IM.
Second battle: Toss a coin. On one hand, 'Agent of the Source' IM wrecked every single New God in existence AND went toe to toe with an ALE empowered Scott Free -- but on the other hand, JSA-Gog appeared to be IM's equal in their brief encounter... And JSA-Gog was ultimately beaten by the cumulative efforts of the JSA.
Imo:
1.) IM sensed Gog's energy-type and went to earth to investigate/kill him.
2.) They began fighting and IM realized how powerful Gog was.
3.) IM either realized that he could not beat Gog, or possibly that a continued battle would prolong his goals (slaying the New Gods.)
4.) IM leaves the field.
Since IM was the one who brought the fight to Gog, he likely would have killed him if he could have done so quickly. Either way, IM not slaying Gog leads me to believe that he [Gog] was a lot more powerful than he thought.
It's debatable either way though -- that's all I'm saying. Personally, I'd be more inclined to side with IM in the second bout.

^ Right. Then he ran into Gog (the herald) and realized, "hey, I don't know if I can win... And even if I do it will take a LONG time" -- then he left.
It would absolutely be within Amazo's ability to do so.
I was just of the opinion that Amazo is only allowed to use the powers listed in the OP -- but if he can still copy powers here (which I doubt is the case) he definitely wins.
yeah that part of the story still doesnt make sense. if the guy who literally embodies death is destroyed how in the fuk were more new gods still able to die?
My thoughts: None of the New Gods were actually destroyed in the literal sense. Yes, their bodies may have been killed, but the energies they housed still existed (if you recall, Darkseid absorbed said energies to combat the Source.)
That said, because the Black Racer's energies still existed, perhaps the concept he embodied was still present on some level..? Or maybe it just wasn't something the writers thought about.
