So... Let's talk about Darkseid.
In the end of the absolute mess of events known as Death of the New Gods and Countdown, Darkseid's true form is mortally wounded by his son Orion, and falls into the physical multiverse being splintered apart, seemingly dying.
Later he comes back in Final Crisis as the main villain of the event, having assumed a human guise as "Boss Dark Side", and later posessing a human host to return to his real form. It's important to point-out that throughout the vast majority of the series Darkseid is either greatly weakened by his mortal wounds, deeply poisoned by Radion, slowly decaying to death, depowered due to posessing a mortal host, or all of the above.
So let's see what Darkseid, the God of Evil, can do:
In DC Universe #0, we are told what the multiverse is (A series of infinite parallel universes) and what a crisis is (An event that threatens the entire multiverse somehow). We see that Darkseid's true self fell over the entire multiverse.
When on Earth, Darkseid assumed a human guise, and though appearing normal he is crippled and dying.
At his weakest, he created "endless" false realities to torture Shilo Noma.
At the end of Final Crisis #4, Darkseid assumes a new host, regaining more power. In this state, he gives a thumbs down to reality , breaking the fourth wall in the process .
From Final Crisis #5 onwards, we see the consequences of this gesture.
First, space-time around the earth begins to crush and crumble, an time begins to be erased. The effect is quickly spreading to the entire universe.
Darkseid leaves his life-support, and proclaims that "All is one in Darkseid".
We learn that Darkseid is draggin the entire multiverse into a singularity where he is all that exists.
The Green Lanterns then start falling into a singularity where "Everything is Darkseid", and we see that this encompasses multiple universes (The red space between the alternate Earths is the Bleed).
This effect extends throughout time as well. In the 31th Century, Brainiac 5 claims that time and space are fracturing and ceasing to be, and all of reality is threatened.
A lot of things go down. Superman sees the Miracle Machine and returns to his time to rebuild it, most of Earth is being controlled by the Anti-Life Equation, the three Flashs will try using the Black Racer to defeat Darkseid, and Batman shoots Darkseid with a Radion bullet and gets hit with the Omega Beams.
At this point, all the multiverse is coming to an end .
An entire universe is crumbled into Darkseid, only the Watchtower remained.
Darkseid explains that he has become everything that exists .
He also says that all of time is becoming one time... And right after he says this he gets attacked by Death the Black Racer and "dies" .
A lot of Final Crisis #7 has a bizarre editing, with panels being out of order and scenes out of sequence stitched together. This is because Darkseid nearly destroyed time.
The final battle between Superman and Darkseid, now only a conscience freed from any physical form, ensues. Darkseid is at his weakest, but he is still a higher-dimensional, abstract Multiversal being...
Not that it matters, since Superman one-shots him by singing a frequency whose vibrations counter Darkseid's own, effectively erasing him from existence . Yes, Superman one-shot a Multiversal being by singing.
Later in the issue Superman finishes the Miracle Machine, wishes for a "Happy Ending", and thanks to it he and the other heroes are capable of killing Mandrakk the Dark Monitor, and the multiverse is repaired to normal.
... So, I think we can all agree that all of the above shows that Darkseid was affecting the entire multiverse, right? Well, I agree too. There is one evidence that says otherwise, though.
The Monitors say that Darkseid caused damage to the Orrery of Worlds, which are the 52 universes of the local multiverse. Though they don't deny him damaging other things, they don't say he did.
This strikes me as somewhat inconsistent, considering the entire storyline. Darkseid wouldn't have been able of collapsing all of space-time across the multiverse into himself if he had only affected One-Brane of a bulk made of infinite universes.
So, would upgrading Darkseid to 2-A be fine?
