In terms of the comics, he's a decent villain. I feel he's one of the better examples of a Multiversal Conqueror, especially given his motive for doing so is to spread his dystopian rule to everywhere he can. He's fairly magnificent while doing so. In terms of a character, though, I will admit he's somewhat shallow; he can easily be compared to other villains within the same universe (Trigon especially) and even the Marvel universe (Dormammu is the obvious one) and he's got a rather one-note character/motive. The reason why this doesn't work like with Bryagh is A. his level of heinousness is, while recognizable, comparable to several other villains and even surpassed by some, and B. he just lacks the charm and memorability that comes with it. There are several other more fleshed-out villains, Monster or not, in both the DC and Marvel universe. I never really found Darkseid all that interesting, though he's got cool powers and he's a good archetype of a powerful, multi-dimensional evil overlord.
