In Forever People vol. 1, Darkseid's only notable achievement is imprisoning Infinity man. He also managed to bfr the forever people but unfortunately he got threatened by moonrider's megaton touch, by his own admission:

Let's see by your own logic, Loki outright telling Odin that he is weaker than Thor and doesn't has a chance of stopping Thor.

In Mister Miracle vol. 1 Darkseid never did anything impressive that i recall of.Then we have, New Gods vol. 1, ah that's where all the goodies come in. We learn of the New genesis/Apokolips war and how Darkseid desperately needed the boom tube space warp technology for his army:

Like Odin saying he can't control time, wouldn't you say.
But Darkseid has the ability to create space warps!!! Right? 🙄
Right, he has never moved planets after.

But I like how he gained new powers because you said so.
Darkseid had a few highlights in the series, like killing/resurrecting Desaad with OB, resurrecting one of the deep six, empowering beldam with a fraction of his power who handles orion, but the series (and really, the other NG comics too) revolved around Darkseid trying to obtain the ALE from the minds of 6 earth individuals. Here, look at good ol' darkseid using desaad's mind probe tech to delve into a regular human's mind:

And yet you're trying to convince me that Darkseid can mindrape entire populations? 😂
Retconned in DOTNG.
So he gained teleportation and TP randomly by draining some mystical items, Mordru and Controller?
How randomly assigned.
....but it gets better and better for Darkseid. Even when he obtains the full ALE, he confronts HF, who was completely drained. This is the HF he is facing:

And yet, this powerless HF and orion manage to defeat Darkseid with the ALE in Adventure Comics #460, and Darkseid gets vaporized into oblivion by desaad's uni-cannon to boot.

Right, weakened Darkseid was distracted by Orion and entombed in Source Wall.
Weakened Odin gets koed by a sonic attack.

This guy is supposed to be a skyfather?
In Super Society of Super-Villains, Darkseid had a good showing against GL Mantis and black racer, but nothing skyfather-level.
He then resurfaced in a JLA story where he got punked by Firestorm and destroyed by the re-creation machine:

Right, random trolls punk Odin like their whore by random machines created by Orikal.

Odin was actually crying for Thor to save him.
in that same story, Fiddler mindraped your entire precious new genesis population:https://imgur.com/ME9Vlot
How powerful is fiddler? Well, golden age Jay resisted his mind shenanigans back in the early All flash comics, pre-crisis. And in barry's pre-Crisis title once, then also in wally's post-Crisis series and in another one-shot post-Crisis issue since you like bringing post-Crisis so much.
Right, like space ants beating Odin AND Asgard and selling them as slaves.

Let's no even mention Hunger Dogs, although it's non-canon for post-Crisis new gods, it's canon for pre-Crisis new gods, if we're making the pre and post distinction. Darkseid was running away from a rebellion in Apokolips in that story.
Non canon stuff.
Regarding GDS:
Must i repeat the fact that he said "i am fulfilled" when he absorbed the orb (he also previously absorbed Excalibur):
http://i.imgur.com/VHWy56Y.jpg?1
And the bio confirms that it's the necessary power level that he wanted.
http://i.imgur.com/IPMIBpA.jpg?1
Which can either be that he got his full power back or that he obtained even more than his full power. Either way, Darkseid was at least full power at that point. And after that he stole Mordru's powers:

And TT's (revealed to be a controller in Legionnaires 3):
http://i.imgur.com/yOJEwjg.jpg
You call that not amped?
No, as he himself realized his power had waned over time.
Why would he say that when instead he was getting new powers as you say?
the bios: in GDS, Darkseid amped himself to a point where he could become a TT level foe (not to mention that's a 1988 bio and TT later had more feats)
There's a similar statement in an '87 bio; which also states that he's a peer of Darkseid, but goes on to say that his personal abilities are not known:
http://i.imgur.com/o2LLkVG.jpg?1
They are classifying them on a threat-basis. And Darkseid was amped anyway
No, he wasn't. White Witch also said Darkseid power was comparable to Infinite Man as well.
And that's it! im done. I mean, Darkseid is lucky to qualify as a trans-leveler, many of his showings are quite shitty and an average portrayal clearly has him far below GDS levels. You wanted a counter-argument, now you've got it. Your turn now.
Is that all you got marvel zombie?
