So, you're telling me, in the very comic that Doomsday battles Darkseid, it is said that DS was merely an avatar???
Well, if you're smart enough to THINK a bit about for a minute:
1) Darkseid is still in the Source. He never left. He's been in the Source with the Highfather since the late eighties. He couldn't leave the Source, since he needed to be there to maintain the balance. Neither could the Highfather. So he projected a small portion of his power into an avatar that looks like him to do his work. And that's the way it's been for about twenty years...
2) Doomsday Hunter/Prey takes place AFTER Darkseid being absorbed in the Source.
We know he can't get out. If he does, the Source goes out of balance and the multiverse dies, so OBVIOUSLY Darkseid is using an avatar to do his business in that issue.
It's common sense. If it was TRUE Darkseid, DS could wiped him out of reality with a thought. He's destroyed entire pantheons and reduced cosmic beings like the Lords of Chaos and Order to worms.
You REALLY think it was the REAL Darkseid?
THINK.

I've just explained. I can't make it any simpler.
I blame Grant Morrison for this. Everyone on this forum probably didn't read DC regularly until JLA came out...
Let's make it simple:
1) Darkseid stuck in Source.
2) Darkseid stuck there since late eighties.
3) He never came out.
4) Darkseid created an avatar that looks like him to due his work and granted that avatar with a small portion of his power. However he as the avatar plainly stated "can be defeated by powerful beings." Like Superman.
5) TRUE Darkseid is STILL in the Source with the Highfather. Who also created an avatar to do his bidding....

NO. It was BEFORE Hunter/Prey.
GOD.
Simple!
1) Real Darkseid stuck in Source
2) Created avatar to due his bidding.
3) Real Darkseid STILL stuck in Source. Been there since late eighties. NEVER came out.
I feel like a special education teacher...

The Source Wall and the SOURCE are not the same thing.
The Source Wall is merely a wall/prison created by the Source itself for two purposes:
1) as a barrier between the multiverse and higher planes of existence. (Which is unnecessary since Darkseid is IN the Source and ALREADY breached the Source Wall. That's why he's one with the Source...)
2) it also serves a prison of sorts to ward off those who dare approach the higher realities.
The Source is inquantifiable being of energy that created the New and Old Gods and spawned the Godwave....
