I'm saying, is it possible to defeat DS in a str8 up face to face battle without him first being injured by Directly linked Source powers?

Ah, so you want, like, high-herald and nothing above that?
Surfer could do it. A non-CIS Firestorm should be able to as well. Ditto for Flash. And Zoom. And Count Nefaria if he's allowed.

You're the New God expert. I'm not sure. I know Superman's done it, but he was sunamped at the time. So, above top tier.
Flash and Zoom should be able to dust him, easily. Punches harder than Superman with speed enough to outrace his OB/OE and anything else he can throw at them. Firestorm's got insane energy and matter manipulation abilities to take a win (probably not a kill though). Surfer has that and the strength/speed. And Nefaria is a physical beast with incredible durability.
Do you have anyone?

Meh, I think DS was lying when he spouted the BS about all of his loses being his avatar forms. 😛 Compensating for something else, ya know?
Anywho, H/P DD's strength was above an amped Superman AND Darkseid's physical strength. I'd say that puts him at above top tier. Plus he's got the whole insane speed going on and nigh-immunity to energy attacks (like the OB).

Supes beat him in Apokolips Now. You can argue that DS got hit by his own Omega Beams, but the fact is he was still fighting with no problem.Supes just plain beat him 'til he gave up. Deal with it.
