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.
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.
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.
During a Knightmare sequence, Bruce Wayne experiences a vision of the future in which Darkseid has taken over the Earth and used the Anti-Life Equation to manipulate Superman into becoming his servant.
When fully grown, Starro is impervious to almost all forms of attack - including nuclear weapons - and can siphon and redirect most forms of energy. Once Darkseid was in Starro's grip, he could be gradually drained of his energy, though it's more likely Starro would use its new soldier to conquer the entire galaxy.
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.
On the flip side, Darkseid has strength, intelligence, and the Omega Beams at his disposal, meaning his powerset is more varied and intimidating than Hulk's. Given this, it's no wonder that Darkseid could clobber Zeus and Hulk couldn't.
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.
Darkseid being afraid of the Black Racer is fitting, as the two New Gods' origins are closely connected back to their time on Apokolips. The supervillain claimed the Black Racer as his "greatest weapon" by capturing Death and tying it to a host (like The Flash in the Darkseid War) after he took control of the planet.
Nicknamed the God of Evil for a reason, Darkseid rarely shies away from showing off his strength, making it even more noteworthy that Doomsday is both a foe he feared and one of the only enemies he chose to escape rather than destroy.
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.
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.
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.
Cosmic Ghost Rider will still put up a good fight but it would be futile; none of his powers would be able to affect Darkseid. Sure, he can blast him or punch him but that's not going to do much against a god.
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.
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.
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.
Unfortunately, as formidable as the Hulk has been in all his incarnations, brute force may not be as effective against Dr. Manhattan as his other adversaries. Manhattan could conceivably split Banner from the Hulk as Onslaught did in the '90s, or disintegrate the Hulk from existence altogether.
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.
Doomsday as he appeared in Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey #2 (May 1994). Doomsday ranked as #46 on IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time. He is best known as the character that killed Superman in The Death of Superman story arc "Doomsday!".
In various DC Comics and many other adaptations, Superman has fought Darkseid in one-on-one fights and defeated him, making him one of Earth's greatest defenders against the Apokoliptian despot.
