Who is stronger darkseid or superman

When it quickly became clear that Superman wouldn't be enough to handle Imperiex-Prime and stop a new Big Bang, then-President Lex Luthor took over the planning. DC Comics loves having physical embodiments of concepts and emotions, and Parallax is no different. A literal being of fear, Parallax has long been a thorn in the side of the Green Lantern Corps , even when they didn't know it existed.

The reason Green Lanterns are weak against the color yellow is because of an impurity in their rings created by Parallax being trapped inside the Central Power Battery. Parallax is able to control and defeat anyone or anything that feels fear, and that includes Superman. Heck, the creepy looking yellow monster even beat the Spectre, so you know it's no slouch.

Sadly for Superman, he wouldn't stand much of a chance against Parallax. As the story goes, " When the Creator said "Let there be light", the Original Darkness retreated and stayed inactive for unknown ages ".

This Original Darkness, also known as the Great Evil Beast is the first evil thing in the universe, and despite the combined efforts of John Constantine , Swamp Thing a number of other supernatural heroes, the angelic army of Heaven and the demonic armies of Hell, this unfathomable evil woke up. In the end, the only thing that could stop the Great Evil Beast was the very entity that created it - God.

The Great Evil Beast had defeated everyone who stood up to it, including the Spectre, but the creator of all things was able to calm it down.

Superman may be tough, but if it takes God to stop something, you can be sure the Man of Steel won't be able to do it himself. While he isn't usually thought of as being strong, Mister Mxyzptlk is an imp from Fifth Dimension who has seemingly unlimited power.

Luckily for the people of the Third Dimension, Mister Mxyzptlk prefers to use his power to have fun. If he wanted to, Mxyzptlk could erase all of existence with a stray thought. And while Mister Mxyzptlk presents himself as a short goofy looking fella, he is in fact a rather frightening being who, if he so wished, could rip Superman limb from limb in the blink of an eye. Thankfully, Mxy enjoys the game he and Superman have been playing for years to end the universe.

Superman rages against Darkseid. Darkseid attempts to use his Omega Beams, but Wonder Woman deflects them. Kal-el tells Wonder Woman to leave the fight to him after this, as it is a personal grudge after losing Kara Supergirl. Thus a 1 v 1 battle ensues. As the fight progresses, they begin circling the sun, which gives Superman a nice recharge. Superman shows off his speed and brute force as he soundly clobbers Darkseid, breaking his arm. He then imprisons him within the Source Wall. Thus, Superman beats Darkseid again.

The answer depends on two major factors. They are:. In several battles, modern Darkseid has lost to Superman. Furthermore, in Countdown they had a fight and Darkseid activated a power in Jimmy that made him emit kryptonite radiation so he was either bored or a bad loser.

I think Superman fought and either beat or stalemated Darkseid in a Legends crossover issue as well. In modern continuity. The recton of Final Crisis is a catch all; it applies to all previous appereances of all New Gods. Darkseid fully manifesting in our universe means the destruction of our universe; the New Gods exist on a higher vibratory frequency, and we only see facets and aspects of those beings, none ever whole like Morpheus and Sandman.

That explains all the diffrences in characterization, power level, and plot detail. That is undisputably the way continuity is working, but it also means that the charcters become undebatable because we only have one appereance of "true" Darkseid, one in which was dying thanks to Orion and we have no appereances of any the New Gods. Anyways all in all is Superman more powerful than Darkseid? Putting him above DS - who has been apart of some CRAZY feats like creating universes or causing the destruction of the multiverse by his very entrance, feels kind of unreasonable Even if you leave off from Final Crisis stuff, he's still created universes in Seven Soldiers, in Batman , he still casually imprisoned the entire Legion of Superheroes in Foundations , he still destroyed Modru and a high level Time Trapper "stand in" GDS , he still has the power to control one of the most formidable forces in comics Apokolips.

FadeToBlackBolt said:. Not true. Darkseid is a New Gods villain. Unfortunately, he has, lately been written by horrible writers which has lead to most people thinking he's just a dark Superman. He isn't. That's the way he was written, and he should be. He's certainly earned a remarkable following if super-powerful beings like Steppenwolf and Desaad are merely his underlings. Superman is powerful on Earth. Darkseid is a galactic threat.

If Snyder's vision for the DCEU is ever realized in full, it would probably take a cohort of superheroes, not just Superman alone, to defeat the almighty Darkseid.
