FC Darkseid warped space-time during his "fall" and threatened the entire foundation of the Multiverse, as well as controlling half of Earth's population with the ALE.
However, he was also physically weaker than his PC version because his soul was inhabiting Turpin's body (and Superman confirmed that the body was still Turpin's by reading its DNA). Also during FC, he didn't display any of the other powers than his PC version (or post-Crisis version) used: teleportation, telepathy, super strength and heightened reflexes, etc.
EDIT: One thing that always confused me was the use the ALE during Final Crisis. I'm pretty sure that the actual distribution occurred after the Death of the New Gods when the ALE merged with the Source, even though DS traveled back in time prior to it. Shouldn't it had been rendered ineffective like when Mister Miracle attempted to use it?
