He wasn't a pussy at all. Him standing up to a prolonged eye blast from DS gained him the respect and admiration of the Forever people. Just because DS is properly shown to be his superior in that comic doesn't mean Superman is written as a pussy, it just means that Darkseid is being written closer to his true stature.
You sound like Quanchi with his "prison rape isn't gay, its manly" spiel.

Nah, Superman definitely seemed to be a pussy to me unless he decided to kick it up a notch. Of course Darkseid had to be stupid and take the fight to Earth as I recall. That was a mistake. I'd have loved to see him threaten Lois. He'd get his shit pushed in. Again. He'd have gone the way of Mantis.
Hey, Hercules is the manliest man in comics and his bedded Northstar. And mostly likely Cho as well.

Homeroticism is the opposite of "manly", speaking naturally, and every other way that matters.
End discussion.
DS pimp smacks Thor into next week
I Don't believe Black Bolt's absolutism is to be taken literally, but that's just me. He's probably saying he's misused alot/wrongly portrayed according to the orginal intent, or just defined by his low showings too often(that 2nd one was just my opnion thrown in)
And Thor proved he is easily at Superman's level, when his all-out hammer strike was palmed by Superman and then got his lights punched out with the other, while Superman was sitting down.

Superman showed some combat superdickery, not even bothering to get up when making Thor take a nap.
He didn't even bother to explain to Thor how he stopped his all-out strike, and just left him with the awe-struck "the mightiest..in nine worlds...cannot" expression, then went on with an ambigous "my dials go up to eleven", knowing Thor is too dumb to get it.

That is the reason he cant possibly be > Thanos. At least Thanos has the "it was a clone" excuse every time he gets his ass kicked. Darkseid's feats come down to pwning Superman a few times and getting pwned BY Superman even more times. Thor wins the feat war.

This might come as a shock for most on this board -- but Superman beating him doesn't mean that Thor can, and it doesn't bring Darkseid's stock any lower either.
Jim Starlin would be begging the editors to let him retcon it into another clone if Superman ever encountered Thanos in a comic where the life of his friend was on the line, like it was in Apokolips Now -- where Superman was specifically stronger than usual, due to the change in mindset.

Actually a lot of DS's defeats have also been retconned as avatars or as Desaad impersonating him.
Just curious but where is your count? I can think of two times that Darkseid has been outright defeated by Superman and once where he was bfred against five or six times that DS has beaten or bfred Superman.

This.The first option. IMO he is He has been shown to be superior to thanos at time.Being beat by superman is his exception to the rule.And darkseid has beaten supes too.ANd just because supes can beat DS doesn't mean thor can.
