I mean in all the Worlds of the Rose, Darkseid has never showed a favorable outing where he stands upon the very godhead as the universe's supreme power and not get beaten down by people in spandex. Thanos at least has no one to blame but himself. Deep down he knows that he is not worthy to wield such overwhelming power, it's this aspect of his personality that has led to his development as a character and not a contrive plot-device or thinly veiled allegory of ultimate evil. Just once, I'd like to read a Darkseid story and be really impressed with him as a genuine threat instead of nonplussed. Oh look...questing for the Anti-Life Equation...again. How original! Is it THAT difficult to write personality into a character ?
Darkseid isn't so powerful as to unknowable.
If you want to look at villainous ambition, consider the career of Baron Harkonnen [NOT the David Lynch version, thank you very much]. Now THERE was a villain!
