Don't knock Supes, man. He takes down universal-level threats on a regular basis. He'd bench-press Darkseid's granite ass. Hell, Thanos might just sit back and watch him work his magic.
uhuh

And you should listen to the OP specifications. It says "Darkseid before ALE." Meaning him prior to having it. Which invalidates his "current levels" for this bout.
Darkseid having the ALE or being current does not matter. His scale was the same even back then. The doomsday singularity was caused by his fall, which makes his true size the same back then as it is now. In other words, his powers and stature were the same and thus, he actually is that powerful and massive.
All Final Crisis did was confirm their true size and show that we have never seen it in our reality. Making all the past references to it true. Wonderworld, S'ivaa, the necessity of the boom tube.
you can dispute this with DS not being in his true form in this fight, but you can no longer dispute his true power.
orly Morrison is a ****ing genius writer, your boy is not only a hack, he wanks his favorites at the expense of others.
the proof is in the events and their story arcs. Morrison's are complex, rewarding and never try to spoon-feed you the plot. you actually have to think and connect the dots yourself.
Starlin's work is basically wanking a few characters and downgrading others, while being heavy-handed and unoriginal.
And Morrison also has better endings and dialogue. spliff

JLA, multiple Superman (including All-Star) runs, and now FC come to mind immediately. I could grab a list if you want. 😛
In FC the New Gods are much closer to Kirby's vision of these characters. They were larger than life characters with astonishing science which along with their mystical connection to the Source made them super gods.
It's a lot of inaccurate bs in titles like JLA through the last decade that has had them portrayed like super heroes and not the enormous celestial beings they are.
