Theoretically, Apocalypse would prove to be stronger than Darkseid. Thanks to his ability to alter himself at the molecular level, there is technically no limit to how strong Apocalypse can become.
Although Thanos would undoubtedly have the edge over Apocalypse were he to use the Infinity Gauntlet, without it, Thanos could very well meet his match. Though both are incredibly powerful and intelligent, Thanos is held back by his obsession with death, which would cause him to overlook some of Apocalypse's power.
beyond death." It's clear from their battle that Doomsday is the ultimate world-ending threat of DC's universe, given that he is easily able to defeat and nearly kill Darkseid. However, it must be noted that throughout history comic book villains vary in terms of power.
In the recent X of Swords crossover, he showed that he was willing to fight his long lost wife to the death, and his willpower was able to crush that of the ancient god Annihilation.

9 Galactus Lost To The Age Of Apocalypse X-Men In An Issue Of What If... The Age Of Apocalypse is one of the most beloved X-Men stories of the '90s and while Marvel certainly wanted to cash in on its popularity after it ended, it was kind of impossible at the time.
Superman, however, isn't ready for Apocalypse's telepathic abilities. Sure, Superman is fast, strong, and near-invulnerable, but his mind isn't. Apocalypse could get into his head and make him see whatever he wanted. He could shut down the Man Of Steel with a thought.
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.
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.
The first time Apocalypse and Thor faced each other, before the God of Thunder possessed Mjolnir, Apocalypse almost killed him with one hit. However, even Mjolnir won't do much good against Apocalypse. Thor has a weapon that will, though- Jarnbjorn.

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.
The Avengers would win, only if they were fighting together (Thor, Wanda, Strange, Danvers, Vision, etc) seeing that it took Atlantians, Amazonians and Zeus and Ares at their most mature form to defeat him.
But then how did Odin beat Darkseid? WIZ: Odin tore the 4th world, the home of the gods, out of the divine sphere, thus Darkseid was no longer a higher dimensional being, just one god in one universe. This made it possible for Odin to kill Darkseid.
The Post-Crisis Darkseid eventually gained an edge over Doomsday, growing powerful enough by the end of Final Crisis to bring down the whole of reality around him in his battle against Superman.
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.

While Manhattan can transform things using the laws of physics, Darkseid transcends those laws. In Doomsday Clock, Manhattan feared Superman would destroy him.
