Darkseid this evil God is one of
Superman’s greatest enemies welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we will explore
the comic book origins of Darkseid
as with most comic book characters
they’re often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we have
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
which unfolded in 1971’s
the forever people number one which was
then expanded upon in the new gods
number one in his first major appearance
Darkseid was revealed to Superman as the
most powerful menace threatening the
universe the tyrannical leader of the
planet apocalypse he is a being of
massive power only interested in
acquiring the means to end any and all
life in the universe a mysterious new
threat his origins and motivations were
elaborated on in the New Gods number one
that comics started from the very
beginning by exploring how Darkseid and
the other new gods both good and bad
were created in the aftermath of the old
gods who perished in an epic battle
against evil while the war cost the old
gods their lives and the life of their
massive homeworld they’re destroyed
planets rubble eventually formed two new
planets after eons had passed new gods
eventually spawned on the planet
surfaces one of the two planets became a
lush utopia on which the gods built a
golden land called New Genesis the other
planet remained a desolate world filled
with evil called apocalypse which came
under the rule of a powerful new god
named Darkseid while New Genesis housed
the actual origin source for all life a
power called the life equation dark side
eventually dedicated himself to seeking
the opposing equation which would have
the power to eliminate life entirely
when New Genesis is bravest warrior God
Orion discovered this threat he
journeyed to apocalypse to defeat the
rising evil
meanwhile on apocalypse however once he
arrived he discovered that Darkseid had
ventured to planet earth discovering
that the anti-life equation was actually
formed within the mind of an
unsuspecting human once on earth
Darkseid built the mass detector unit a
device capable of scanning the minds of
all humans before he could enact his
plan he was followed to earth by Orion
who confronted Darkseid about his
intentions to break the long-held peace
between the two God planets after being
defeated and returning to apocalypse
Darkseid continued to seek out the means
to gain the anti-life equation as a
result he created such things as his
notorious fear machine which could zap
terror into his victims and waged
regular campaigns against the earth
after several battles with Orion
Darkseid was revealed to be his
estranged father turning their battles
into a family feud despite this link
Darkseid eventually killed Orion however
he soon found himself opposed by a new
enemy Superman and the other members of
the Justice League a being that lives
outside the rules of time and space
Darkseid like the other new gods didn’t
just get created by the life equation
but gained his power from living near to
it this made him and those like him all
but immortal invulnerable and super
strong
moreover Darkseid is telepathic
incredibly intelligent and controls
advanced technology among his greatest
powers is the Omega effect which lets
him focus energy from his eyes to
teleport or destroy his targets
impressive no one has ever afforded
Michael mega beam during his many
battles his only weakness has been
revealed to be a rare substance called
Radeon meaning that Superman himself can
do little more than slow him down
had enough not quiet he had over the
years Darkseid has appeared in various
media ranging from the countless DC
Comics to crossovers and various cartoon
series eventually appearing as the
villain in the tenth season Smallville
are you a fan of the stone-faced god
