Darkseid’s Power Level Gets the Respect It Deserves

Darkseid is not just powerful - he ’s the literal God of Evil , and exists across every reality in the multiverse , with each ' version ' of Darkseid being part of a larger whole . Despite this , few account truly get to the nub of how powerful the multi - dimensional scoundrel is mean to be . Usually , Darkseid is capable of beating down Supermanin a fight , but it ’s often depict as a close one - on - one fight that test both to their boundary . Here , Darkseid attacks as a genuine God of Evil , beating two versions of Clark Kent without breaking a swear .

While Superman ’s reputation as DC ’s hard hero sandwich is of import to the theme that make him mould , Darkseid is n’t just more powerful , he ’s a higher tier of being . Darkseid is an essential part of DC ’s cosmic order , to the point that if he is killed , the population instantly reacts by either creating a replacement , resurrect him in a new word form , or start to collapse ( as seen inJustice League : The Darkseid War , whereDarkseid ’s death unlocked the god formsof the League . )

Ultimately , Darkseid is invincible because he embodies humanity ’s potential for evil - he can be fight back by unceasing vigilance and heroism , but his power is meant to be overwhelming on individual terms . AsWorld ’s fine # 24heads for funny shelves later this week , DarkseidvsSupermanmakes it clear that this issue is about to nail the threat posed by the God of Evil , even against the Justice League .
