So REALLY close? 😕

no. to me a close fight is 1 that lasts about 19pgs out of a 22pg book; I can see Ion beating him in about 14pgs.

Well that's all indicative on how long the DC writers would need the battle to last.

But I personally feel as though it would be a very close battle.

Ion 10/10

Darkseid is a non factor here.

Yo.

this isnt standard Darkseid however; I wouldnt say GDS-DS is a "non-factor", but I do think he definitely loses.

I agree DS looses the majority,

But as you said, he is FAR from a non-factor. 🙄

He's a non factor.

Seriously...when has Spectre ever showed up and told Darkseid he could pretty much get away with anything he wanted to under his own power?

Spectre can't kill Darkseid. And he can't mess with Darkseid on his own world. Besides, Hal was being very nice about the whole thing. We all know the Spectre usually doesn't operate at his maximum power level most of the time.

Unless Ion has shown an immunity to the OE, or to some of the most powerful known TP, (which he hasn't).

Then DS is still very much a factor here.

Sure DS wouldn't take the majority or anything, but it's far from a curbstomp in Ion's favor.

Ion crushes any rose colored glasses versions of DS you want to talk about.

That TP feat with the Daxamites is overrated though. When he first took control of them, they were under a red sun so they didn't have powers. When they did have power, DS couldn't maintain control of them for very long. Furthermore, when they all showed up to fight him, he fled.

The main reason DS lost control of them, was because he began fighting the others who had been amped up by Highfather, so his concentration on the Daxams dwindled.

It wasn't because his TP necessarily failed him.

He was still controling the minds of 3billion sperate creatures. Thats not a feat that many people can match.

IIRC he had fought and defeated Orion at that point. If his TP was so great, he could have simply resumed his control of them. Instead he knew he couldn't stand up to them and fled the fight.

Saturn Girl

Is she beating Ion too?

Eh? No of course not. I was just pointing out that controling 3billion powerless Daxamites is still pretty incredible.

Not saying it isn't but it isn't enough to say he'll beat Ion either. GDS Darkseid was hardcore as shit and I would never say otherwise but this is a bit too far up the ladder for him.

He was weakened from the battles he had with not only Orion, but the beings amped up by Highfather.

All of his former powers wouldn't have been as great as they started out. 😕

Again, DS wouldn't take the majority here, but I don't think it's a stomp in Ion's favor.

My memory is probably fuzzy since I last read GDS over a year ago but I recall DS waxing all ass that appeared in front of him with the exception of Orion who only managed to last a few pages. I'm not sure you can get a measure on how exhausted he was from that.

Are you serious?

This is like saying TP can affect Spectre or Thanos with the IG.

It's a non factor.

The OE at it's best *MAY* make Ion feel some pain if it's written to it's upper end extreme...but as soon as that's done DS is dead.

It's 10/10 Ion.

There is NO comparison here.

He did beat them,

But once he figured out his control over the Daxams had slipped, he didn't even attempt to fight anymore, because he knew he was weaker.

I do agree that we can't gauge his power 100% accurately, but we can say he was certainly weaker then he started out IMO.
