He is a multiversal entity of pure evil, that was fragmented into a lesser form after the Final Crisis. Darkseid's "True Form" or "Godhead" was eventually reconstituted, combining of all of Darkseid's lesser forms, making all of his past aspects become one.
Devoux was easily one of the most powerful of the various Captains Universes and would take down Darkseid. She was basically the Universe itself, and her powers allowed her to do anything. Darkseid would covet her power, but there would be nothing he could do against it.
One such feat that could be taken as an example is from DC's New 52 storyline, True From Darkseid destroyed entire universes at once in an instant but we have never seen Galactus pull off such a feat. The True Form Darkseid is above space and time.
In terms of their absolute power levels, the Anti-Monitor dwarfs Darkseid. In fact, his abilities dwarf nearly every other being in all of existence. One physical attribute that the Anti-Monitor has in his favor is vast, enormous size.
Darkseid has been called the god of evil and while there are few in the multiverse that could surpass him in his monstrousness, Darkseid is more accurately the God of Tyranny. As such he will not stop until he conquers all of creation and the entire multiverse.
Unfortunately, before he could use it, Darkseid was defeated (nearly dying from his wounds) and forced to retreat by a combined army comprised of Humans, Amazons, and Atlanteans, along with the involvement of Ares, Zeus and Artemis of Old Gods and Yalan Gur, a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
Weakness. Radion: Darkseid and all of the New Gods are vulnerable to a substance called Radion. It 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.
Darkseid was created by Jack Kirby, first appearing in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #134. However, in the Prime Earth continuity, Darkseid first appeared as part of the New 52 DC Universe in Justice League (Volume 2) #3 by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee.
Darkseid and Batman have had several fights throughout the years, but Batman has won beat the villain many times. But Darkseid has crushed him too. Darkseid is one of the strongest beings in the universe who possesses control over Apokolips.
DESTRUCTIVE POWER: Odin has quite a big advantage here, as he has destroyed galaxies in his battles. HAX: While Darkseid's omega beams are very Hax Odin is definitely superior in this category. Odin can basically do whatever he wants on a galactic scale.
An aged Darkseid mentions he is no longer a New God, but that his time in this world has transformed him into an Old God. Darkseid has been ruling the Final crisis universe for "eons" and has used the Anti-Life equation to turn the Justice League into his slaves.
In the four decades since the pair debuted, Darkseid and Thanos have taken big swings at each other, the comics industry, and Hollywood. But in an MCU-saturated world, there's only one winner: Thanos.
Darkseid (pronounced Dark-side) is a new god of the Fourth World, one of the most powerful beings in the DC Multiverse. As the tyrannical ruler of Apokolips, he frequently comes into conflict with Superman.
To start, Darkseid's real name is not actually Darkseid - its Uxas, son of Yuga Kahn and Heggra, the King and Queen of Apokolips. Uxas belongs to a race called the New Gods, who are divided between the worlds New Genesis and Apokolips, which are basically planetary versions Heaven and Hell, respectively.
Orion is the second son of Darkseid, dictator of Apokolips. He is the half-brother of Kalibak and Grayven.
Yes, Galactus defeated Darkseid almost quite easily in their fight in the comics, but that doesn't really prove that Big G is stronger than this evil New God. Of course, that's because the Darkseid we often see in DC isn't even the true Darkseid, as we know that he exists as the very embodiment of darkness and evil.
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 is not afraid of Superman. He didn't come to Earth himself because Steppenwolf owed him thousands of worlds as a repentance of the Great Betrayal. Steppenwolf was afraid of Superman and referred to him as 'The Kryptonian'.
Due to desiring to rob the entire multiverse of free will, enslaving and oppressing his homeworld, ruling as a tyrant, having one of the highest body counts out of any DC villain, destroying and enslaving entire planets and destroying the entire multiverse temporarily, Darkseid is considered to be one of the most evil ...

Darkseid, for most of the first thirty-five years of his existence, is listed at 7′ 6″. This height can be found in his classic Who's Who entry and pretty much every other bio published up until at least the New Gods Secret Files in 1998.
The Anti-Monitor. The Anti-Monitor is the only thing in the DCU that could be more powerful and more dangerous than Darkseid. The giant, universe eating Galactus rip-off — look, Thanos is a Darkseid rip-off, it happens — is responsible for the deaths of Supergirl (very sad) and Barry Allen (less sad, Wally's cooler).
Green Lantern and Batman go to the center of the anti-matter universe and realize that Mobius was the one who created the Mobius Chair, and the Anti-Monitor is Mobius. The anti-Monitor forces the Flash to fuse with the Black Racer, and the fused Flash-Black Racer kills Darkseid.
The King of Atlantis overwhelmed Darkseid with his waterborne magic while Artemis shot him with Ares and Zeus weakened the invader with his lightning. This allowed Ares to charge at Darkseid and drive his ax into the dark god's shoulder.
