User blog comment:SuperBen 1000000/Damien Dhark vs Zoom/@comment-28419685-20160509165003

Both are quite powerful, but I personally think Darhk would never be able to match Zoom's calculating ruthlessness. Keep in mind that Darhk also has a fatal weakness - his family.

While an opponent like Oliver Queen may be bound to spare Darhk's wife and daughter out of a sense of honor and decency, we've already seen Zoom sadistically threaten family members (Jesse Quick, Wally West) to dominate his enemies. And as this seems to be one of his most effective tactics, we can expect that he would very likely do the same against Damien Darhk.

Sure, Darhk may try to keep them safe - but the odds of success against an opponent who can traverse dimensions and phase through solid matter seem slim at best. It would be a simple matter for Zoom to rip them away, then force Darhk to give up his idol in exchange for their safety. From there, he could kill the powerless Darhk, or take over H.I.V.E. leadership as he sees fit. Or use Damien's idol to become even more powerful, adding immortality/telekinesis/etc. to his speed. Or maybe even all of the above.
