The rationale for black racer is (apart from existing on the same level) Regularly claims the souls of New Gods that have fallen. Brought death to Darkseid's true self during Final Crisis, disabling his final avatar)

Although it was said that he was the death of the new gods, but he did not kill Darkseid in the final crisis, but was he not superman post crisis? before talking to mandrakk

I think we should haggle that.
 
Your second paragraph is a bit confusing to me. What are you trying to say exactly?
 
The Black Racer undisputedly harvests the souls of new gods, and they are usually depicted as helpless i his presence. Even Darkseid himself fears the Racer, and he expresses as much in Final Crisis. There is no reason to downgrade a character who very clearly elicited this response from Darkseid's godhead. Final Crisis was a unique circumstance in which even after death Darkseid's true form was able to linger in existence due to the Forever Pit. It does not make the Black Racer any less of a threat.
 
Thank you for the evaluation. Should we close this thread?
 
I'm just saying the description is slightly wrong.

  • Brought death to Darkseid's true self during Final Crisis, disabling his final avatar)*
 
@Oliver: The "avatar" referred to here is Dan Turpin. The Black Racer's death manipulation expelled Darkseid from Turpin's body and dragged his physical presence to the afterlife. There's nothing wrong with the description. It's just a complicated storyline that requires a lot of context to truly appreciate.

@Ant: Yes. I think we're good to close this.
