Somewhat true.
It happened in the OWAW Wonder Woman issue, the same issue that revealled that the Firepits were an extension of Darkseid's power. Wonder Woman convinced all the Amazon's to funnel all their prayers into Darkseid, who was then "recharged" and was just about to destroy Warworld.
Anyway, she revealed that she had put a piece of her soul into Darkseid. This, however, didn't weaken him in the physical sense. Only in the sense that he would have a sliver of decency in him from then on, that he would be kinder than he was.
It has never been mentioned since, so it isn't a large leap to say that Darkseid somehow overcame the 'weakening', or that the affect on his outward personality was minimal at best.
This seems especially true since Darkseid has always been a highly moral character, not at all "pure evil", despising the sadistic methods of the ultimate sadist and his right hand man, Desaad.

And yet, he will kill anyone who he gets in the way or challenges him.
Sure, he's the ultimate pragmatist. He certainly ALLOWS Desaad to do what he does, for the most part, so long as it serves his greater purpose.
He's Machiavelli, he's Mussolini, he's Hitler and Himmler. He is every great tyrant the world has ever had.
But he isn't pure evil. He doesn't take joy in the pain of the young, the denigration of the honorable. Its his defining characteristic. He truly believes his way is the best way. The only way. And that everyone will be better off when he's done.

Of course. I gave this summation when talking about Thanos as compared to DS. DS wants to rule so that there can be peace.

No one even pays attention to you anymore. you don't make sense and your arguments have as much back bone as spongue Bob.
Originally posted by Desaadi thnk this makes ds as a character more interesting. i feel the ultimate evil character types to become dull and boring. mephisto for instance. cool guy but he gets old fast. ds not being ultimate evil makes him cooler and more intersting in at least my eyes. i liked him in hunter and prey when he got pissed that doomsday was killing his men. his worms he called them. he cares for them in some far out way. and while hell kill them he doesnt want anyone else doing it.
It goes beyond that.He has compassion, and he dislikes seeing the young and the vibrant unnecessarily tortured, or the fiercely honorable sullied by the "do anything" standards of Desaad.
Hilarious thread, folks.
IOnce again we see the Darkseid apologists do anything they can to ignore and lie about Darkseid's history of incompetence and failure in comparison to someone like Thanos, who is FAR more consistently succesful.
Between the lie about imaginary avatars being why he is inferior to Superman physically and using irrlevant feats like OWAW, wher ehe was aided by cosmic beings lke Kismet, it is clear that the desperate Darkised mareks wil do anything possible to lie about thier favorites failures.
Astro/Desaad, I'm not surprised to see you point out Quanchi's inconsistencies, while not daring to challenge the boldfaced lies that the Darkseid fetishists advance. Why not correct BOTH sides of this debate with your superior knowledge and show some impartiality for once instead of attacking the reltively FEW logical flaws that Quanchi made? Would it make you feel like les of a Darkise dfan to destroy the lies rthat his side is advocating?
Anyways, Thanos has made it clear that he is consistently more successful and formidable than Darkseid.
Darkseid loses more often against the level of opposition than Thanos tends to tear apart, mroe cosnsitent, and fails in his goals more often.

When Thanos splits and entire pantheon of Gods down the middle into two still powerful pantheon's Let us know. When Thanos would cause the collapse of the time stream with him being removed from it let us know. When Thanos can sustain war with The guardians of the galaxy and they have to back off and call a trude, let us know. When Thanos can punk The Legion let us know. When Thanos can create a being as powerful as stayne out of his own power let us know. When thanos can do anything on his own without a power up, please let us know. Until then, your entire point is moot. Hell, Thanos isn't even tuff on his own. He's upgraded due to death and the powerup's he's stolen.
