Darkseid vs. Gladiator

According to Kirby at least the visible beams were just "finder beams", laser pointers that can go around corners and through dimensional boundaries to seek out their target, once they hit their target Darkseid would activate the true Omega Effect.

The Omega Sanction has only been used twice but both times it successfully trapped its targets. I see no reason why Gladiator wouldn't fall before the OS.

When Kirby was writing Darkseid that's how the Beams operated. More recently, they're shown to be similar to Superman's heat vision without any obvious OE results.

He's disintegrated people worse than Gladiator with the OE, no need to bust out the Sanction here.

I think DS is being low-ball'd in this thread. He's on a different level than Glads and it's really that simple. Sure he's not the best at h2h combat and if it was strictly only h2h..I would give Glads some wins and maybe even a majority. However, both using all their powers.. IMO DS beats Glads and with little difficulty
