This is his respect thread. There are so many problems with the whole Darkseid thing. According to comics there is no pre crisis Darkseid since he was protected from the COIE. He was just depowered later on. I don't know much on DC Odin though.
sandman is overkill the guy's servent made a castle the size of a solar system, and he can create people out of dreams like he did the corinthian, the guy (corinthian) went on to kill vertigo loki i believe, also sandman can send people to hell, or give them infinite nightmares, thanos is a none factor, and odin himself isnt as powerful or even as essential, doomsday and mongul are non factors, it would come down to sandman and darkseid and the OE wouldnt work since sandman is essential and his powers would work on darkseid since he has to sleep too, and is not above getting sent to hell.
