Trigon the Terrible vs. Darkseid

The thought just kinda popped into my head...

VS.

One's an inter-dimensional demonic warlord who rules over his domain with god-like power, and the other... pretty much the same, except more of an alien Hitler analogue rather than straight-up demonic.

Both are powerful, both have masses to do their bidding, and not only do both desire our dimension as their own, but they both hate to lose.

So, who'd win?

There are multiple timelines in which Darkseid rules the world.
There is not a single timeline in which Trigon rules the world.
I guess that says everything.

Not one that we've seen anyway... but, your point is valid.

Actually, scratch my earlier comment, there is a timeline in which Trigon rules the world. The multiverse designation escapes me, but it was featured back in Booster Gold #24 and showed off a bit of Trigon's trophy room:

Actually, there was that one point during the Perez-Wolfman run in New Teen Titans, I think was the series, where Trigon had turned the world into a hellish volcanic wasteland and all the heroes were turned to stone except for the Titans.

I'm obviously in the minority here, but I'm voting Trigon. Darkseid just isn't that appealing to me, and I think part of it is that he's heavily used (not that he isn't a major threat, but that he is perhaps a bit often a go-to villain for guys of his caliber).

Wow, Trigon's actually winning... huh, go figure...

Darkseid justifies my hatred. Darksied justifies my life. All is one in Darkseid.

I can't see Trigon standing up to the power of the Omega Beams. All hail Darkseid!

Trigon wins this because of one power that Darkseid lacks, and is really the most devastating power a comic book character can wield...reality manipulation.

Trigon would win because he pretty much controls an entire dimension, Darkseid just has one planet

But there's a yin to the yang of Darkseid and Apokolips. You can't write off the effect of New Genesis on where Darkseid would be in the universe.
