The stopping Ares with the Godwave thing, was debunked earlier as a tech feat, not primarily a power feat as implied by NvrhdClue.The Whole GDS, absorbing pantheons, changing suns and moving planets thing happened in a future, iirc.
Hence the Legion of Superheroes being the guys who handled it.
I'm not sure if it even still stand today.
Darkseid specifically says that his power had "ebbed" in that future, though.
Meaning he was actually LESS powerful in that story than what he used to be (ie, currently).
Great Darkness Saga, that is.
And as previously stated, the Pantheon killing thing was something from Jack Kirby's Fourth World (Later followed up upon in Orion), nothing to do with Great Darkness Saga.
