He's wrong. Like others have before him, Squall is undoubtedly using the scene from New Gods v3 #15 to try and prove his point... And that is a horribly flawed line of reasoning.NO evidence retcons the Darkseid we saw in H/P into an avatar -- as mentioned, Jurgens clearly intended it to be THE Darkseid. Granted, Darkseid does use avatars on occasion to act when his attention/focus must be divided, but he obviously does not use them *all* the time. In fact, Darkseid himself explicitly stated that he prefers NOT to use avatars, because they are so much weaker than his true form.
That said, it is illogical to try and blanket all of his previous appearances as avatars -- each showing must be evaluated on a case by case basis... And you won't find any evidence stating that Darkseid was an avatar in H/P specifically. None.
