I did not manipulate anything. Darkseid himself said that the beams were hotter than the firepits. He does not mention anything at all about using the true Omega Effect. All he said was that it was hot, therefore that's all he was using the beams to create: heat. If he were actually using it to its fullest extent, there wouldn't be any heat - there would be nothingness.
I never said that that did did use the Full force of his Omegar Effect. I just said that you were making a leap in assuming that Darkseid was using his OE for generating heat beams based on his very vague commentary on how hot they were.
With Darkseid's dialogue, plus the molten rock all over the scene, I find it hard to believe there's any other conclusion.
The fact the scene proves nothing that you stated. All it does show is that the Omega Beam do produce Thermal effect on it surrounding Enviroment. Nothing more.
Darkseid's strength is above Superman's, provided he's being written by someone other than Jeph Loeb.
Not true at all unless you are talking about PreCrisis Darkseid. In fact Superman is Stronger than Darkseid.
His reflexes have also been shown to be Superman's equal (we don't know if he can either run or fly as fast as Superman, though).
Again, That's based on what. There are plenty of Villains who fight Superman that are much Slower than he is and they still hold their own quite well. It doesn't they are a match, it simply mean that they are experienced in hand to hand fight enough to know how to deal with someone faster or stronger than they are.
I see nothing at all to prove your assumptions about Darkseid. Quite the opposite, actually.
You just gave me an example. (Jeph Loeb's years with Superman) But, even before that, Darkseid hasn't been shown to be stronger than Superman.
As I wrote before, the writers had to have Doomsday attack Darkseid from behind in order to believably have 'Seid beaten so easily.
That shows nothing. To me all it showed was that Darkseid was overconfident and that DD was quick and Brutal in taking down Darkseid. It doesn't really matter if he took him with his back turned. If Darkseid was strong enough then he would have been able to get a second wind, regroup and at least attempt to turn the tables. He couldn't, DD was faster and and stronger than Darkseid. Superman was at least able to fight DD even thought he too was very badly outmatched against him. There were even moments where his back was turned and he still was able to regroup.
If Darkseid had known Doomsday's true strength potential before firing the first shot of the Omega Beams, he surely would have simply transmuted Doomsday into something harmless, such as air or water; Or he could've teleported Doomsday to the end of time, such as Waverider did later; Or just erased him from existance.
If it would work than maybe. Teleporting DD would probably work the best. As for Disintergrating DD, probably not since the Guardians couldn't accomplish either, and they have similar powers. It's just that DD adapted to their energies and was actually absorbing it. What's to say that the same wouldn't happen.
Doomsday's invulnerability wouldn't stop any of that. Hell, if he really wanted to have fun, Darkseid could've just reversed Doomsday's evolution and turned him back into a harmless baby.
Yes It would. If you know how DD abilities work then you would know that he can instantly evolve as of Hunter/Prey.
To Explain: He get's attacked by a powerful force that he has never encountered. His invulerability kicks in and protects him from it. (normally DD would be comatose to evolve) If the Entity's power is used at a lower level and then he uses a Higher power it is too late. It won't have any effect on him.
Now that explanation is based on two examples of DD abilities at work. In Hunter/Prey Superman was Powered up when compared to his last fight. VERY Powered up. (A side effect from Kryptonite X from Superman #82)
Some of his Feats at that point are showcased In MOS #30.
The Next example is DD's encounter with the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardians of The Universe. Which was a standstill and was almost a defeat for the Corps.
There is no proof whatsoever that Doomsday can survive the true Omega Effect; the only thing that Hunter/Prey proved is that Doomsday can survive a massive blast of incredibly intense heat. I mean, Darkseid's Omega Beams have made even the Spectre cry in pain before, and the Spectre is God's hand of vengeance incarnate. If it can do that to the Hand of God himself, then it's really inconceivable that a simple highly-evolved organism can withstand it.
Hunter/Prey Showed that DD can instantly evolve to Powerful attacks and Doomsday Annual shows that he could nearly defeat the GL Corps. While you points of Darkseid are valid, your attempts to undermine Doomsday are flawed. He as well has shown over the top durability when written in a certain way.
