I don't see any version of Darkseid competing with Thanos with the Infinity Gems.

(...(((a+b)×10 + c)×10 + d)×10...) = (a+b)×10^200,000 + O(c, d, f, ...) where if a ~ b ~ c ~d ~ ... then O ~ 10% of the total power and therefore irrelevant.
So we're looking at a power ~2×10^200,000 × base Darkseid.

Was Soul Fire Darkseid, or any part of DOTNG canon?
The confusion first arose from Final Crisis - Secret Files where it stated the Source can't be halved due to it's nature

However, the DOTNG is a direct continuiation from Countdown( Which is undoubtly canon)
The title says it all! For months now readers have witnessed the unimaginable and unthinkable as New Gods across the DCU have seemingly died, with Lightray's death in COUNTDOWN the biggest of them all. Now, the carnage continues but the mystery and adventure is just beginning! Jim Starlin — master of the cosmic odyssey — writes and illustrates this epic tale of death and destruction on a scale never seen before. With a cast of hundreds and cameos by the entire DCU, this intergalactic 8-part series cannot be missed!

The event was also mentioned in Countdown itself

Later bios also including it as canon
So like I said. The only thing seems 'not canon/debatable' is the Source really is the Source. Aside from that, DOTNG is 100% canon

Wrong as usual. Darkseid effortlessly destroys Thanos.
soulfire darkseid was nothing impressive dude, he merged with the souls of new gods but he has no feats. Death of New God completely shit on dc and made the source a joke, the story isn't canon either as none of it was adapt into later new god's storyline
basically stalin doesn't know shit about dc, synnar and soulfire darkseid are perfect example of shitty writing
if you ask stalin himself he would tell you IG is more powerful than Soulfire

However, the 'Source' that appeared in that story may not be the real Source( See above). You can argue it is possible that just Anti-Life Entity pretended to be the Source

Well, like I said before. The story itself is definitely canonHowever, the 'Source' that appeared in that story may not be the real Source( See above). You can argue it is possible that just Anti-Life Entity pretended to be the Source
the whole story contradict with the later new god interpretations
