Omega Beams and New God intellect overcome even the Hulk's limitless rage.
Darkseid's Omega Beams are the difference-maker. They're homing energy attacks that can erase, teleport, or resurrect anything they touch. Hulk's durability is legendary, but the Omega Beams don't operate through physical force โ they rewrite existence at a fundamental level.
Even if Hulk could survive the Omega Beams through sheer rage-enhanced durability (which is debatable), Darkseid has the intelligence and patience to outlast Hulk's rage. Unlike most opponents who make Hulk angrier, Darkseid can teleport Hulk to another dimension, freeze him in a timeless state, or simply outlast him.
Hulk's limitless strength is a problem for almost everyone โ but Darkseid isn't 'almost everyone.' He's a New God whose power comes from a fundamental force of the universe, not just physical might.
Omega Beams can erase existence and cannot miss. Darkseid's intelligence allows strategic approach rather than brawling. He can teleport Hulk away or use Apokolips technology to contain the rage. New God physiology exists at a tier above conventional physical power.
Hulk's strength has no ceiling. At sufficient rage, he could theoretically overpower Omega Beams through sheer physical might. Hulk has survived reality-warping attacks before. His rage mechanic means the fight only gets harder for Darkseid over time.
Darkseid wins through versatility and Omega Beams. Hulk's limitless strength is a problem, but Darkseid doesn't need to outpunch the Hulk โ he needs to outsmart him, and that's exactly what the ruler of Apokolips excels at.
