By sky-father 2 Comments
5) Origins
5.1 Power Absorption, Energy Absorption, Energy Consumption, Life Force Drain
As a simple powerless peasant, Uxas could absorb the powers of the Old Gods which he did to gain the Omega Effect and eventually took the name of the entity who provided him with power.
5.2 Strength
In a supposed re-enactment of historical events, Uxas had apparently killed Yuga Khan, his father by stabbing a scythe blade through his back.
5.3 Stamina (Unlimited), Dimensional Travel
With their new godlike powers, Highfather Izaya and Uxas as Darkseid engage in direct combat for a entire week straight. New Gods don't require any sustenance. -> 4.4
After the battle, Darkseid would travel throughout the DC Multiverse looking to conquer and destroy worlds in his conquest to obtain the Anti-Life Equation.
5.4 Immortality, Durability, Energy Projection (Multi-Galaxy)
The battle between Highfather Izaya and Uxas as Darkseid resulted in the destruction of the planet of Old Genesis. This is often misinterpreted as a simple planetary explosion however the size of Old Genesis dwarfs that of galaxies -> 3.2 but the explosion is likely to be even larger -> 3.3
Both Highfather Izaya and Uxas as Darkseid would survive this multi-galaxy sized planetary explosion.
5.5 Portal Creation, Energy Projection
Omega Beams one-shot an army of Parademons. Darkseid can also open Boom Tubes at will.
5.6 Strength (Universal)
Opens a Boom Tube with only his bare hands.
5.7 Strength, Energy Projection, Cosmic Awareness (Planetary)
Defeats a version of Superman from within the DC Multiverse and destroys the Fortress of Solitude with his Omega Beams after detecting its location.
5.8 Strength (Universal)
Prevents the closure of a Boom Tube using his pure strength alone. This is probably his greatest feat of physical strength thus far for an avatar.
5.9 Portal Creation, Teleportation, Dimensional Travel, Energy Projection (Planetary), Cosmic Awareness
Darkseid destroys planet after planet in his search for Kaiyo while traveling throughout the DC Multiverse via Boom Tubes.
10) Post-Flashpoint
10.1 Avatar Creation
This version of Darkseid is confirmed to be an avatar by the New Gods of Earth-51 who were reborn from the Pre-Flashpoint continuity.
10.2 Power Channeling, Telepathy (Multiversal), Cosmic Awareness (Multiversal), Energy Projection, Target Locking
Telepathically communicates and influences Grail on Earth while he is on Apokolips outside the DC Multiverse. Darkseid causes Grail to unleash her Omega Beams to kill an army of Greek warriors without her knowing how to control her powers.
10.3 Telepathy (Multiversal), Technopathy
Mentally communicates with Cyborg Victor Stone whilst still on Apokolips outside the DC Multiverse.
10.4 Strength
Knocks out the entire Justice League with an AOE shockwave.
10.5 Target Locking, Energy Projection, Speed
Omega Beams destroy a military jet and proceed to keep up with a speeding Superman and Flash, each one following their target until Flash escapes but Superman is electrocuted and knocked out.
10.6 Strength, Durability
Green Lantern Hal Jordan's energy constructs shatter upon contact with Darkseid. Darkseid then proceeds to humiliate Hal and break his arm.
10.7 Team-Busting, Strength, Durability, Energy Projection
Extensive fight with the Justice League that results in him losing both of his eyes though he continues on fighting whilst resisting the reverse gravitation pull of a Boom Tube. The Justice League consists of Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Aquaman, Flash Barry Allen and Green Lantern Hal Jordan
10.8 Immortality, Healing Factor, Durability (Universal)
Survives the collapse of a Boom Tube despite already suffering heavy damage after the Justice League do everything in their power to push him through.
The collapse of a Boom Tube is equivalent to concentrated universal damage.
The Darkseid that fought the Justice League is an avatar as he is seen perfectly fine after the surviving the collapse of the Boom Tube. It is also revealed that Darkseid has been killing various Supermen across the DC Multiverse and showcasing his kills as trophies.
10.9 Strength (Star), Speed, Durability (Star), Healing Factor
Still weakened after emerging from a regenerative slumber, Darkseid faces off against Batman wearing the Hell-Bat armor in a intense fight. He is able to tank some blows and dish out some of his own. Despite being in a weakened state, Darkseid is able to overpower the Hell-Bat easily and cause significant damage to it.
The pieces of the Hell-Bat armor are extremely durable as they were forged in multiple extreme environments including the heat and gravity within the core of the Sun, the rigors of the Speed Force, the crushing pressures of deep oceanic depths and the magic forge of the Amazons.
The Hell-Bat is strong and tough enough to stomp an army of Parademons and transverse all across Apokolips in a matter of seconds.
The Hell-Bat could also defeat Kalibak soundly.
This shows that a weakened Darkseid is far superior to Kalibak and Parademons. Here is confirmation that Darkseid was weakened.
10.10 Immortality, Durability, Energy Projection
Withstands his own Omega Beams being fired back at him after the Hell-Bat armor absorbs it and redirects the attack.
10.11 Durability
Unbothered by explosions caused by Boom Spheres. The explosions can destroy an Apokoliptan force field yet Darkseid casually no-sells the blast.
10.12 Technopathy, Durability, Strength
Mentally hacks into the Boom Spheres to set himself free. Boom Spheres can slice through anything including the flesh of gods though Darkseid was unharmed by them. Darkseid then punches Mr Miracle away.
10.13 Flight, Speed, Strength, Durability, Energy Absorption (Planetary), Energy Consumption (Planetary), Technopathy, Telekinesis, Space Manipulation
Chases after Mr Miracle and admits he was absorbing energy from the core of Apokolips to replenish himself. The Boom Spheres temporarily take control over Darkseid's body and absorbs his Omega Beams from which the Dark Lord then reverse hacks them, pulling them towards one another, unleashing a powerful explosion that he survives.
10.14 Telepathy (Multiversal), Cosmic Awareness (Multiversal)
Uses his telepathy to scan for and track down John Constantine throughout the DC Multiverse. He also mentally messes around with the minds of the people.
10.15 Power Negation, Telepathy, Portal Creation, Teleportation, Dimensional Travel, Size Alteration (Star), Strength, Reality Warping (Universal), Space Manipulation, Time Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation (Star), Life Force Drain, Energy Consumption, Cosmic Awareness (Multiversal)
Whilst fleeing from Darkseid, John Constantine is trapped on Earth-2 where finds himself powerless to stop the Dark Lord who pushes himself through the universal barriers. Instead he resorts to using an illusion to fool Darkseid rather than flat out engage him in combat. There is a lot of feats to unpack in his sequence such as Darkseid growing to a size where the gravity of his presence acts like a Black Hole plus John Constantine stating that he witnessed Darkseid destroying and consuming universes which Darkseid himself later confirmed.
John Constantine is strong enough to hold a being as powerful as the Phantom Stranger against his will and even send him away against his will.
The Phantom Stranger is capable of fighting the Spectre on even footing such that the Presence himself had to intervene and warn them to stop otherwise they could destroy creation as a side effect of their petty dispute.
John Constantine who can trap Spectre level beings was not to be able to do anything to Darkseid even though he had time to prepare and he knew Darkseid was coming after him plus he was already warned beforehand by Doctor Fate of the consequences. This is proof that Darkseid scales above Spectre-level beings.
10.16 Target Locking, Energy Projection
Omega Beams destroy a spaceship even though Darkseid wasn't looking directly at it.
10.17 Strength, Speed, Durability, Team-Busting
Tags and beats up two Kryptonians in Val-Zod and Power Girl while taking strikes from them.

10.19 Strength, Energy Projection, Durability
Tanks a punch from Green Lantern Alan Scott and then proceeds to slap him around. Alan Scott was being empowered by the Multiversal Green.
Prior to being amped by the Multiversal Green, Alan Scott could blast a hole right through Apokolips.
The Multiversal Green allows Green Lantern Alan Scott to see the DC Multiverse and channel its powers through the avatars of each DC Universe.
10.20 Team-Busting, Strength, Speed, Durability, Energy Projection, Target Locking
The Earth 2 Wonders try to take down Darkseid again only to fail once again.
10.21 Flight, Energy Projection, Durability (Multiversal)
While preparing to unleash an AOE blast, Darkseid gets bulldozed by Green Lantern Alan Scott who then throws a punch empowered by all the Elemental Avatars of the Parliament.
Alan Scott had previously absorbed all the other Elemental Avatars to become the Parliament.
Alan Scott even later admits he feels the truth power and potential of the DC Multiverse. Even the most egregious lowballing puts this feat at multi-planetary even though it is a concentrated multiversal punch that Darkseid was able to tank.
10.22 Matter Manipulation, Disintegration, Energy Projection
Omega Beams reduce an entire mountain into nothing.
15) Darkseid War

Summons the Black Racer onto the battlefield where he commands it to attack the Anti-Monitor.
15.5 Strength, Durability, Energy Projection
Grapples with the Anti-Monitor and punches his helmet off. His Omega Beams also do considerable damage to Mobius.
It should be noted that the Anti-Monitor surviving both the Black Racer and Omega Beams was due to being powered by the Anti-Life Equation. The Anti-Monitor would take control of Flash and Black Racer merging them toward to become the Black Flash and returning the attack back to Darkseid.
15.6 Reality Warping (Multiversal), Power Negation
The death of Darkseid at the hands of the Black Flash and Anti-Monitor has caused multiversal wide damage as confirmed by the goddess Anapel. The power connection between gods and mortals has been severed. It also lead to the escape of S'ivaa the Destroyer and Yuga Khan from the Source Wall.
15.7 Power Absorption
The baby of Superwoman and Alexander Luthor absorbs the power of Mazahs, God of Strength Superman, God of Knowledge Batman, God of Death Flash, God of Light Hal Jordan, God of Gods Shazam. God of Gods Shazam in particular has the powers of S'ivaa the Destroyer, H'ronmeer, Ate, Yuga Khan, Anapel and Wizard Shazam. This baby would transform into the new Darkseid.
16) Rebirth
16.1 Strength, Matter Manipulation, Disintegration, Energy Projection

Note that Darkseid isn't at full power and isn't trying to kill her as he drains some of her life force just to weaken her in an attempt to draw out Zeus. Darkseid also recalls the combined Justice League being needed to take him on.
16.8 Strength, Durability, Energy Projection, Portal Creation, Life Force Drain, Power Absorption, Energy Absorption, Energy Consumption
Clashes toe-to-toe with Zeus while not yet at full power. They exchange blows and blasts, Zeus uses lightning and Darkseid uses his Omega Beams. They take the battle to another environment where Zeus is lured into getting his life force drained dry. Darkseid absorbs the power of Zeus and restores himself to his prime. Apparently Darkseid has fought entire planets as he states during his battle with Zeus.

16.22 Intelligence, Immortality, Durability (Multiversal), Cosmological Importance
Darkseid unveils his plan for Sepulkore, a digital platform that generates an impenetrable and undetectable force field that protects and hides the entire Ghost Sector from the destruction of the DC Multiverse.

16.23 Intimidation, Intelligence, Cosmic Awareness (Multiversal), Technopathy
