Well in DOTNG #1 they showed all the Gods who were killed around the time of Lightray and it really wasn't that much. However, DOTNG contradicted itself a few times though.

Thats not what the Soul Fire Project is... And you guys are still wrong about what the New Gods powers was used for. Still have some reading to do it seems. 😮💨

Where did it say he could tap into them when Jimmy had them? As I remember he mentioned multiple times he had to reabsorb the powers from Jimmy physically, and that's why they tried to keep them apart
Originally posted by -K-M-I think juntai has it right although it is like deciphering some cryptic message. Its tough figuring this out but I do believe he stored them into jimmy and could control the power with a thought but it was altered when atom destroyed his device. Then I guess he had to destroy jimmy to fully take the powers for himself permanently.

I think he was coming after jimmy because he wanted to absorb the powers at the time and didnt want to leave this vast energy in him any longer. He was just going to kill him powerless but when Atom destroyed the device that made it a fight. This made jimmy able to retain control of his powers although it didnt make any difference as Darkseid whipped his ass nonetheless.
This is indeed tricky to follow as the writers didnt communicate enough for it to add it up and make perfect sense.

It's possible the Source didn't allow it to, although I doubt he thought about it. The Bleed was also was sweeping in reality when Darkseid and the Source fought.
