As to this battle, assuming average portrayals for the New Gods (ie, not true form/fully manifested/Final Crisis versions of Darkseid and Granny)...
The Eternals take it pretty handily.
Thanos, on average, has the slight edge against Darkseid as he normally 'manifests' on earth, Orion will defeat either Hyperion or Gilgamesh but it won't be a steam role, Sersi is more powerful than Barda, Mister Miracle will I'm sure perform admirably but is outpowered by EVERYONE here and by a significant margin and Granny Goodness, again outside of true form manifestation (like when she defeated the Greek Gods or took over Kraken's body), isn't as powerful as anyone on the Eternals team.
I don't think BB read the stips. I think he (like me initially) thot ALL the NGs vs ALL the Eternals (wherein I would agree that the NG has more overall power).
Right. In addition, it's worth noting that the technology of the New Gods is significantly greater in power and versatility than that which we have seen of the Eternals.
But that has little/nothing to do here. And this matchup was essentially terrible.
A better lineup for the New Gods might have been....
Well, what was his origin before? More of a direct Superman rip off, as I recall, save for the fact that he was rocketed away from...another dimension?
I thought it was a fun one.
There have been so many iterations of the character at this point, though -- the Superman knock off from another universe, the evil one created by the Grandmaster, King Hyperion, Supreme Power Hyperion, even Paradise X Hyperion -- he's a bit of a mess.
Jeff Parker is doing something fun in Thunderbolts as well, and I'm anxious to see where that one goes.
One of the things that I've always found interesting about Hyperion is that to my knowledge there is no true 616 version. That's pretty bemusing considering the fact that various versions of the character got a fair amount of panel time in the 616 (or used to).
