darkseid with antilife is a MULTIDIMENTIONAL threat...don't underestimate...he literally killed a god and started destorying the divide between the entire multiverse...it took every superman in every multiverse to stop him as well as a MIRACLE WISH and a MAGIC BULLET
Do you know what this arc was called? I'd like to look it up

Brehs are omitting the fact that if Darkseid chose to manifest his true self here in our "Reality" he would break it.
This. We've never even seen his true form.

"Darkseid's new body exists outside of reality, as when it enters a physical universe, it begins to tear that universe apart."

Darkseid once broke into Mr. Miracle's house to sit in Scott Free's favorite chair while drinking his yak just to personally drop off a VHS sex tape of Big Barda.
Thanos could never top that level of petty.

Reflecting on this, the problem with Darkseid is that all writers don't adhere to the Morrison retcon or Kirby's original concept. According to them, Darkseid is more of an extra-dimensional, metaphysical entity that manifests in the DC Universe through avatars. That Darkseid is far more powerful than Thanos with no buffs. The issue is that most writers tend to throw that out the window and use Darkseid as a physical threat where what you see is what you get.

Even the more recent portrayals ignore the Kirby/Morrison metaphysical aspect. For Example, Justice League: Odyssey treats the Darkseid that we see on the page as the actual character and not an avatar that the character is acting through. Due to the inconsistency in how the character is written, it makes him kind of hard to peg down without a bunch of qualifiers.
