    Default Omega Beam Challenge

    List some of the weakest characters who could take a hit from Pre-Crisis Darkseid's Omega Beams.

    Ignore here protection from shields or interposed artifacts. The idea is, can the character himself tank the hit with raw durability, not block it with something indestructible.

    So for example, Thor would have to take the beam head on, rather than interpose Mjolnir. Similarly, Diana couldn't use her bracelets, nor Odin interpose Gungnir.

    Just assemble a list of some of the lowest tier characters (roughly speaking) who could do this.

    Surfer, probably.
    Sentry.
    Thanos.
    Uh.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Forgot the stock answer:

    Butterball.

    That's a high bar.

    Isn't Surfer a bit beneath the latter two?

    You did say lowest; and Pre-Crisis Darksied is stupid powerful.

    Yes, I agree, of course.

    How about?

    • Pre-Crisis Superman?
    • 616 Gladiator?
    • Barry Allen Flash (he can control his own molecules)?
    • Impossible Man?
    • Ikaris, Thena, and Eternals generally?

    Eternals? I don't see them staying dead permanent, no.

    If the bar is simply, "who doesn't need their body to survive" though, the list gets considerably bigger. Mr. Immortal for example, would come back from the Omega Beams barring them having an effect that overrides his immortality.
