GDS Darkseid Vs Thanos (TP Battle only)

Telepathic battle only. Who wins?

none

Not too familiar with GDS Darksied. Does he have TP showings above regular DS?

Thanos rarely uses his but uses it effectively:

Its a Golgo thread. Which means GDS Darkseid will be multiversal

He's far above regular DS. He mindcontrolled the entire population of Daxam who are kryptonian equals. Which is why he stomps here.

He wasn't at full strength. Much less far above.

To clarify, he mind controlled the entire population of 3 billion Daxamites at the same time, as they rampaged across the universe

didn't he say near the end of the book that he overestimated how much power he had regained? Seems to me that he wasn't even back up to full strength.

He said that his power was reduced over the millennia, which it did. Afterwards he absorbed a couple artifacts and said that he was restored; then he absorbed the power of Mordru and the time trapper (whether it was a controller or the true TT is up for debate because of TT's ambiguous origins) both of whom are above him.

Also, if you look at how regular DS was portrayed in the New Gods comics you'll realize that it doesn't make sense for him to possess such power. DS was searching for the secrets of the ALE which he knew were locked away in the minds of 6 humans; if a weakened DS is capable of controlling billions of super powered beings, don't you think he could just telepathically scan and extract said secrets from the human population? Yet, in the entire Forever People/New Gods series, which focused on that plot, he was unable to do so.

Yeah, Darkseid's baseline psionic abilities have never come close to what we saw in the GDS.

Telepathically controlling 3 billion Daxamites, and maintaining that control even after a lengthy fight with Orion AND Highfather-amped Superman/Supergirl... That's ridiculous.

So does this meet the criteria for a spite thread?

I'd say so, given that I've never seen a TP feat from Thanos that remotely rivals GDS Darkseid.
