I am having way too much fun with this. Time for another one.
OH NO! Darkseid, as his first strike, has completely and utterly obliterated the planet Earth, and all those who live on it! Oh well.... guess the universe is screwed... OH WAIT!
1 (Team Leader):

Braniac 2 (Vril Dox)
By all accounts, Vril Dox is a manipulative douchebag. However, he does have the security of the universe in mind. Of course, if he has to do something deplorable to ensure the safety of the masses, by all means he will do it.
He is a super genius of the highest caliber. If anyone can devise a strategy to defeat Darkseid, it is him.
2:

Nova (Dick Rider)
I debated whether to put a Green Lantern on the team, but in the end, decided to go with Nova. Darkseid knows Green Lanterns. He knows what to expect. Nova would be something else. Plus, if he has the entire Nova Force inside him, he is pretty powerful.
Nova also has experience fighting in long drawn out wars (Annihilation), so he would be slightly more experienced if things got a bit drawn out and extended. All the wars the Green Lanterns have fought have been pretty quick ones.
Oh yeah, and he obviously was not on Earth at the time of destruction.
3:

Captain Comet (Adam Blake)
Technically an Earthman, but has not lived on Earth in a very long time. Still would probably not like hearing the fate of his old home. Or that the universe is at risk.
He has a plethora of powers, especially if you take his older self (I used a picture of his younger self because he looks cooler). A mutant, he has unusually high IQ, telepathy, telekenetic abilities, sometimes some sort of clairvoyant sight, oh yeah, and the standard flight, strength, and invulnerability.
4:

Gladiator (Kallark)
This one kind of explains itself. Pretty much all the powers of Superman. Hinged on his confidence in himself. So, as long as Vril Dox can keep him confident, he is pretty much a no brainer to have on the team.
5:

Orion
In hindsight, I am really surprised that no one has picked Orion. Darkseid's son. One of the only beings in the universe who can, and has, stood toe to toe with Darkseid on more than one occasion. In fact, he even killed him once.
Add that to the psychological factor of a father vs son battle. Darkseid might get so wrapped up in this personal combat, that he leaves himself open.
