They are both the ultimate in the reusable cosmic overlord trope for their respective publishers.
Thanos was created after Darkseid, and was initially a clear homage/ ripoff/ pastiche of the earlier character.
But I wonder (being woefully unfamiliar with Marvel compared to DC), has the copycat now surpassed the original in every way that matters?
This is not a Rumbles question, btw.

I would guess, with INFINITY WAR on the horizon, WrinkleJaw beats GraniteBrow for the title of Best Reusable Cosmic Bad Guy between the two. Or maybe, Thanos had held the overall belt for a while now in pop culture? I don't know.
What do you think?
