Originally posted by CaptainStoici second this. ds loses with prep all the time and isnt very good at it like doom or thanos or even batman. batman tricked his ass and good in superman /batman story arc. darkseid was outsmarted by doomsday when ds thought he prematurely killed doomsday to never killing him once.
The Phoenix force is above all of the New Gods, Darkseid included prepped unprepped it does not matter. Darseid would not want anything to do with such an entity, and I'm not talking about Jean Grey either. Galactus is also too much for him, he just isn't on the level. Let's remember that Galcatus in essence could continue to become more powerful as he devours more planets, even with prep Darseid would never beat Galactus when he went up against the Beyonder in the Secret Wars.
ds failed with prep t gewt the godwave while ares was the better man. ds failed miserably against his father yuga khan. ds was a scared little bich that time.
