^That's correct. Darkseid would be the winner.

Darkseid's true essence exists on another plane of existence. He's a God of Evil. Final Crisis establishes that he "won a war in heaven" but that the cost was basically his fall onto OUR plane of existence.

A being of such power (who was dying btw) caused the entirety of the universe to collapse in on itself, space and time distorting into a singularity. That singularity, of course, was Darkseid simply EXISTING.

His divine status made it so that he actually survived COIE, so his Pre-Crisis (avatar) feats are perfectly legit, meaning that even as an avatar he would casually solo (Darkseid being casually > Pre-Crisis Supes whose stats I don't think I need to mention).

There's also the fact that Darkseid literally feeds on negative emotions to strengthen himself.
