"No actually, [Darkseid is] not the most powerful, but he's the most relentless. In other words, Darkseid is strictly a first-rater. I don't classify gods as far as their power goes. I classify them as far as their personality goes. Each god, if he used his power right, could defeat another god. If I used my power right I could defeat anyone on Earth if I wanted to. As a man, if I used my physical strength at its best, I could overpower anybody I wanted to. If I did it right."
-Jack Kirby, in a 1971 Train of Thought interviewOne of many reasons you should read Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus. Someone make "I could defeat anyone on Earth if I wanted to" into a motivational poster.
