Okay.. you do realize that in some of the fights you mentioned DS didn't win right.. he just held his own? Please list for me all these times he's beat down supes BY H2H only as you claim? Same with Orion.. I want a list of this victories via h2h as I seem to remember many of them not being strictly h2h which is what we are talking about here.
There's the time he casually ***** slapped Superman and Superman retreated, admitting he'd be a fool to fight him.
That's pretty much the only pure h/h encounter they've had. No indication there that in a pure h/h match he'd be at Superman's mercy, or at the mercy of anyone on Team 2 for that matter.
So you admit that Darkseid can at least hold his own against Superman in h/h? Good since that's the crux of my argument: that saying DS is useless here and would get beaten by anyone on team 2 in h/h is off base.
Orion and DS fought pure h/h once that I can recall, and DS threw the fight as part of a plan. But even then he gave Orion hell: when he wasn't even trying to win. A good measure of the gap in strength between DS and Orion is in how they deal with Kalibak. DS manhandles Kalibak while Orion has fought him tooth and nail, at one point for several days before finally triumphing over him.
So I might have exaggerated the quantity of wins (against Orion and Superman anyhow), but then you've also inflated the quantity of losses and exaggerated the severity of them.
So again how is it that you think Darkseid will be useless against anyone on team 2 in h/h? He wasn't useless against Superman when they fought, and he certainly was never useless against Orion who's a peer to anyone here.
