Forever People Vol 1 #3 July 1971
Nigh-Omnipresent | Darkseid exists within everyone and is the Tiger-Force at the core of all things
Adventure Comics Vol 1 #459 October 1978, Adventure Comics Vol 1 #460 December 1978
Massively FTL+ | Orion is equal to Darkseid and replicated his feat of flying to the universe's edge in moments.
Easily overpowered a spell from Pre-Crisis Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson)
New Genesis is stated to be so large that you could throw Earth into one of its small lakes and it would barely affect the waters.
Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 2 #287 May 1982 to Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 2 #294 December 1982
2-C | Darkseid realized at the end of the Great Darkness Saga storyline that he was actually still weaker than he had been in the 20th century.
Feats from GDS include
Easily beating Mordru and Time Trapper (Controller minion) before even reaching his full power within that storyline
Creating Validus, who has far greater strength/durability than Pre-Crisis Kryptonians, by imbuing a baby with some of his power
Furthermore, a heavily amped Superboy and Supergirl weren't able to inflict any injuries on him, and he BFR'd Superboy before beginning to torture Supergirl for fun. This is a weakened Darkseid.
2-C himself (While significantly weakened, he defeated both Mordru and Time Trapper (Controller) and absorbed their energies, along with energy from all of Sorcerer's World, and was still weaker than normal.
A weaker clone of Orion was able to put up a fight against the weakened Darkseid in the 30th century, who was far more powerful than amped Pre-Crisis Kryptonians
Apokolips resides in another dimension to the normal universes.
According to Darkseid at the time, the Anti-Monitor has the power to destroy Apokolips. He diverted all their energy to cloak their presence.
Narrowly defeated, the Anti-Monitor absorbs the Anti-Matter demons and later, all the energy his universe provides.
According to Darkseid, should the Anti-Monitor regain his strength, Apokolips will be next.
Using Alexander Luthor as a conduit, Darkseid blasts the Anti-Monitor with devastating effect.
Post-Crisis
Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe Vol 1 #23 January 1987
The Who's Who in the DC Universe comic run used Darkseid as a benchmark for hyping Time Trapper, saying that Time Trapper was great enough to be considered a peer to Darkseid. This issue came out in '87 and is referring to the real Time Trapper, not the weaker Controller minion, as seen in the bottom section.
At least 4-B | Orion had to be careful and use the Astro-Force (Stated to shatter worlds) with "surgical precision" in order to Stun Superman without killing him.
Massively FTL+ | Darkseid is capable of blitzing Post-Crisis Superman
Orion had to be careful and use the Astro-Force (Stated to shatter worlds) with "surgical precision" in order to Stun Superman without killing him.
Darkseid survived and resisted his own full-power Omega Beams

The Power of Darkseid! - Action Comics Vol 1 #637 January 1989, The Power Within - Action Comics Vol 1 #638 February 1989
Darkseid incapacitates Post-Crisis Superman with a single, casual blast. One casual blast left Superman on the ground, too weak to even try stopping Darkseid from leaving.
On New Genesis, Darkseid easily bats away Superman.
Unknown | Doctor Fate gathers Darkseid, Orion, Highfather, and Etrigan together to form a cinque of cosmic power, pooling all of their mystic energies from their links to magic, the source, mystical forces, and a fragment of Anti-Life to hold back the relentless Entity, but even Fate knows this near-omnipotent power can't hold back Anti-Life. With no other options, Doctor Fate is forced to resort to a mystic firebreak, destroying the bridging dimension entirely, stopping the Entity's advance into their own.
Doctor Fate Vol 2 #9 August 1989, Doctor Fate Vol 2 #10 September 1989
At least Low 2-C, likely 2-C | His anger scared the combined Lords of Chaos (Obviously, this is from the same run where Desaad was later revealed to have impersonated Darkseid during the fight with the two Fates, but there is nothing indicating the Darkseid manipulating the Lords of Order and Chaos was a fake)
On Apokolips, Darkseid easily defeats the Darkstars who are comparable to Lanterns.
On Apokolips, Captain Adam can't smash through Darkseid's robots.
Darkseid defeats Captain Adam.
Low Multiverse level at full power (Orion killed Darkseid when they fought in the Source.
Highfather said he could destroy Takion, his chosen avatar. Takion admitted that Darkseid and Highfather are more powerful than he is. I've made a profile for Takion, but the short of it is the post-issue letters outright state that Parallax can fire universe-shattering blasts and that Takion is more powerful than Parallax, who casually defeated Time Trapper. This is completely in line with the above scaling: Darkseid > Takion > Parallax > Time Trapper.
Highfather stated he was capable of destroying Takion, who also admitted Darkseid was more powerful than he was.
Takion is described by an official guide entry as a being of "limitless power" and it's shown that Captain Atom's quantum field, the power of will, and the Speed Force are only aspects of the Source power Takion wields.
"All mortal universes exist inside bubbles inside the one reality of New Genesis."
To New Gods, Earth is "a speck in an air pocket."
Highfather and Darkseid enter the Source

New Gods Vol 4 #14 January 1997, New Gods Vol 4 #15 February 1997
Highfather and Darkseid's Emanations are shown trapped in the Source Wall
Darkseid creates Avatars from the Source Wall
The narrator describes to the reader that the planet of the old gods was "larger than the largest star."
Darkseid has pillaged the universe, destroying whole worlds to steal the power of the gods. He amassed power beyond ability to reckon. It is only through the Astro-Force that Orion is able to contain the Oblivion Bomb. This isn't his physical power.
Spectre Vol 3 #58 October 1997
The original planet prior to the current two dwarfed galaxies.
On Earth in an alternate timeline, Darkseid backhands Wonder Woman.
Vendaricar, the fourth planet of a red super-giant star very near the center of the known universe.
4 Million times the mass of Earth and dwarfs the Sun.

Darkseid bats away Mr. Miracle and Orion.
Darkseid pulls the professor right out of Firestorm, separating him.
"Everything dies... and like the Prometheans before them, so shall the New Gods pass into the stygian depths of oblivion. They are but pawns, sacrificed in a battle beyond their primitive conceptions of life and death. At the end of an age where time, space, and reality will bow before me, only I, Darkseid, shall rise to wild absolute power... deciding who lives and who dies in the new multiversal dynasty."
On Apokolips, Darkseid defeats Eclipso (Jean Loring)
Death of the New Gods Vol 1 #1 December 2007
On New Genesis, there is a blaster that can take out almost anyone on Apokolips, short of Darkseid and maybe Kalibak.
It has been revealed that Darkseid had been drained of his omega powers when he was imprisoned in the Source Wall. Desaad used a mind-controlled Superman to retrieve Highfather's staff from the Source Wall, and use it as a conduit to recharge Darkseid's energies, via a portal to the Omega Realm.
In this comic, Superman hadn't met Highfather or Darkseid yet.

Darkseid jumps into the Omega realm.
Orion kills Darkseid on Earth
Death of the New Gods Vol 1 #8 June 2008
Earth is "the foundation stone of a monumental cosmic mega-structure made of parallel universes and parallel worlds, all vibrating at different frequencies. A Multiverse."
Barry Allen in the Speed Force is narrating.
"As I enter into a world of immense primary energies, I witness the eternal spirit of vengeance itself."
"The light. The shadow. I'm the only one who can see the shadow. This gigantic shadow cast across the multiverse. Falling over everything."
The Monitors called New Earth as the "Foundation Stone of All Existence"
At this time, "New Earth is secure. The Bleed Drains are intact. The Multiversal Orrey has survived repair after the loss of moving part: Universe 51."
Adult Superboy-Prime survives an exploding Monarch which destroys Universe 51.

The actual term, and description, given by Grant Morrison in Multiversity for the lower-dimensional versions of the True New Gods, is an emanation. This scan also tells us that the "True" New Gods are called Godheads.
New 52
Darkseid Godhead Fragment
Superman Vol 3 #20 | July 2013
Superman fought against Orion's Post-Flashpoint Emanation
New Gods: Godhead | December 2014
Orion’s Emanation resisted Mogo relatively easily.
It should be noted somewhere that Post-Flashpoint Darkseid was amped in Darkseid War so people don't think everyone and their mother, like Aquaman, scale to Anti-Monitor. Darkseid was stated by Mr. Miracle to have gotten a powerup pre-Darkseid War. And it wasn't the Mobius Chamber energies, that was in order to return himself to normal power after he got space collapsed on him at the end of Justice League: Origin.
At least FTL (Darkseid is comparable to Wonder Woman and Flash)
4-B (Darkseid stomped Hal Jordan without difficulty. His Omega Beams knocked out Superman in one hit)
4-B (Darkseid tanked his own Omega Beams alongside the boom spheres' spatial rending. Hal Jordan's constructs shattered on him)
