WHY HE CAN'T: Hyperion Is No Superman. Superman doesn't beat Darkseid because of how powerful he is; while that helps him survive the fight, Darkseid still outclasses Superman. Superman has learned to use his brains in battle against Darkseid, allowing him to win his battles against the dark god.
During the fight, Darkseid got the upper hand over the might of Wonder Woman and seemed poised to strike a final blow. But just in time, Superman managed to drag the New God off-world all the way into the dying sun, ending both their lives.
Kara Zor-El has the same basic power set as her cousin, Superman, making her yet another DC superhero capable of defeating Darkseid. Like Superman, Supergirl has also beaten Darkseid in the comics and their adaptations, with one notable example being the animated movie Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.
Yes. Darkseid doesn't have any strength feats, he has combat feats. PC Superman is stronger than Darkseid. New 52 Darkseid and Rebirth Darkseid appeared to be much stronger than Superman, as did Justice League Odyssey Darkseid - once he completed Sepulkore.
Wonder Woman defeated the villainous Darkseid many times in battle, but the most recent was in Wonder Woman Issue 45, after Darkseid destroyed her father Zeus and invaded her mind.
Just looking at the numbers, Darkseid would win. His Omega Beams wipe out anything they hit from existance, or in the case of Batman send that person back in time.
Weaknesses. Vulnerability to Radion: Darkseid and all of the New Gods are vulnerable to a substance called Radion. Its source is unknown and its effects are toxic only in sustained amounts or after explosive exposure. The average New God can be slain by an application of Radion from a Radion blaster or bomb.
He has superhuman speed and strength, and once fought Zeus to a standstill. Thor would certainly be thwarted by Darkseid. This fearsome villain would be able to drain the lifeforce from him, and even his godly weaponry doesn't seem like it could withstand Darkseid's Omega Beams.
Usually, Darkseid is capable of beating down Superman in a fight, but it's often depicted as a close one-on-one fight that tests both to their limits. Here, Darkseid attacks as a genuine God of Evil, beating two versions of Clark Kent without breaking a swear.
Darkseid is definitely stronger than Hulk at a base level, but as the fight goes on, Hulk gets more powerful and he would eventually defeat the God of Evil.
Galactus's mastery of the Power Cosmic holds the key to Darkseid's downfall. As powerful as Darkseid is, he's never shown any utility with many of the powers that Galactus has access to because of the Power Cosmic. It will give him the ability to defeat the God of Evil once and for all.
Batman defeats Darkseid with just a pair of goggles, which completely depower Darkseid. Batman plans to go back in time by controlling Darkseid using a baby version of him and the Omega Effect. The Godwave Goggles negate Darkseid's Omega Effect, making him significantly less powerful.
Even in the few times he's faced Superman, the green monster has lost. It's no fault of the Hulk's, but Superman is called Superman for a reason. Unless he had kryptonite or a magic-user by his side, Hulk would usually fall to the DC Hero - although, he'd put up a hell of a fight. Superman wins.
While Superman could potentially overpower Thor, blows rendered by the mystical Mjolnir would likely impose serious damage on the Kryptonian hero. With his super-speed, the Man of Steel could probably avoid the Thunder God's lightning, but not necessarily, since Thor is just as fast.
Darkseid intended to probe the minds of every human in order to piece together the Equation. This has caused him to clash with many superheroes of the DC Universe, notably, the Kryptonian Superman.
DESTRUCTIVE POWER: Odin has quite a big advantage here, as he has destroyed galaxies in his battles. HAX: While Darkseid's omega beams are very Hax Odin is definitely superior in this category.
Both attacks pale in comparison to the omega beams. This should lead us to believe Darkseid can easily blast through mjolnir. The only defence I see is most of the times mjolnir's been damaged or destroyed, it was against magically imbued opponents.
As the dialogue in Justice League #73 suggested, while Superman's specific vulnerabilities give Black Adam a chance against him, that doesn't mean the two are equal in power, and the Man of Steel is clearly stronger by any comparison.
When one compares Darkseid's pure brute strength to Ultra Instinct Goku, there isn't that much of a difference. However, the fact that Goku's frequency and power increase while using Ultra Instinct means the Dragon Ball warrior has to be ranked a bit higher.
While Manhattan can transform things using the laws of physics, Darkseid transcends those laws. In Doomsday Clock, Manhattan feared Superman would destroy him. If Superman possessed this power in the main DC Comics continuity, surely Darkseid, in his strongest form, would be powerful enough to destroy Dr.
Is Darkseid (DC Comics) afraid of anything or anybody? His father, Yuga Khan. The most powerful Old God and the most powerful of ALL Fourth World deities.
While the DC supervillain Darkseid isn't scared of many opponents, weapons, or powers across the galaxy, but admits one villain, the Black Racer, struck fear into the heart of the Ruler of Apokolips like few others ever have.
Summary. Darkseid, usually powerful, is easily beaten by Metropolis thugs when he loses his powers. The Justice League never found a way to depower Darkseid — until Super Powers #3. Darkseid's biggest humiliation comes from being defeated by average humans in Metropolis.
