10 Characters Who Have Defeated Darkseid

5. Black Racer

Wonder Woman Darkseid
DC Comics

Black Racer is a rare name that gets mentioned in DC canon, but he is perhaps one of the strongest names to ever step foot in Darkseid's presence. He's not quite a hero - he certainly is not on the side of the Justice League - but he does give Darkseid a run for his money when the opportunity presents itself.

During Final Crisis, resident Flash, Wally West, and the newly revived former Flash, Barry Allen, find a way to lead the Black Racer directly into Darkseid's path; kind of like a "knock two birds out with one stone" kind of way, if the intention was for each bird to clobber each other with the same stone.

While Black Racer failed to destroy Darkseid singlehandedly, he did wear him out to the point that the Lord of Apokolips was brutalized. By time the JLA took the opportunity to finish Darkseid off, he didn't have a chance.

Keeping that in mind, Black Racer probably could have and would have demolished Darkseid for good - had he an extra minute or two with the titan.
