Even if regular Darkseid is more powerful than MK's Dark Kahn, DK apparently had Darkseid's Omega Abilities. The Omega Effect is more than enough for Akuma.He was also responsible for merging two universes together and moving people between the two universes via ground pounds.
But if he is more powerful than Darkseid he is of course too powerful. What was the "accepted" ending in that game, and if they were all weakened how did they beat him?
Shao Kahn has punched through dimensions too if I'm not mistaken. It's hard to quantify by itself.

I think it was him. His very presence started the merger, and with his 'RAGE' facepalm2, was able to speed up the process substantially.
I think Raiden and Superman worked together, while using his own RAGE against him. Once DK was destroyed, the merger reversed itself completely.
Dunno about Shao Kahn, but I'd think that he can only punch through realms, which are different from Universes.
And those ground pounds of his that transported Kano to DC etc. also erased people like Goro, Cage & Aquaman from existence.
Originally posted by Demonic PhoenixWell that's what I mean, the merger caused power creep power seep (for game balance) which is why I questioned his power level. It would seem he would be comparable to them (of course somewhat more powerful).

Yeah, but by the game's climax, Superman himself noted that he was as powerful as he was before the whole thing, while Batman stated that Kahn was more powerful than 'Seid.
Raiden was able to stalemate Superman more or less as well before they fought DK.

I've seen the endings, but I don't remember Kahn being more powerful than Seid. You mean 'seid at his normal showings?
Well, assuming 'seid in MKvsDC is regular ol 'seid, yeah, DK would be more powerful than 'seid at his normal showings.

Best thing he's done? I'd assume it would be merging two universes just through his existence, and quickening the process via others fighting.
Other than that:
a) He's much more powerful than a guy that nearly killed Superman, as per Batman's words.
b) He can use the Omega Beams at the levels that Darkseid does.
c) He can erase people from existence, though it is a random process it seems.
d) He can fill people like Superman & Captain Marvel with incredible bloodlust.
e) He overpowered Superman and Raiden (who was as powerful as Superman at that point given by how Raiden either barely bests him, or barely loses to him) with a hand blast for each.
Most of those are enough to destroy Akuma.
You could argue that the DC characters are not really at their comic level of power, but considering that power creep power seeps were needed and explained in plot, I'd say they were operating at their normal levels before the merger.
DK's crazy powerful, but he could have been handled far better as a character, or he shouldn't have existed at all. I'd wager that Birdie is a better character than Dark Kahn. facepalm2
