Darkseid, also known to the fans as one of Superman's strongest enemies. Ruler of the planet Apokolips, assassinated his own mother before declaring himself the new ruler of the planet. He has an obsession with an Anti Life Equation to rule the whole universe, and with that to conquer all his rival planets like New Genesis, which is ruled by the Highfather.


A destructive war between the two worlds was stopped only with a diplomatic exchange of the sons of Highfather and Darkseid. Darkseid's second born son Orion from his wife Tigra is surrendered to Highfather, while Darkseid receives Scott Free, who later becomes the master escape artist Mister Miracle. This turns out to be a setback for Darkseid with his biological son growing up to value and defend the ideals of New Genesis in opposition to his father. Darkseid's first born son is Kalibak the Cruel, and his third born son is Grayven.


Part of this story was familiarly told in The Twilight of the Gods Episode of The Justice League, where he made a deal with Brainiac, Darkseid pretended to seek help from the Justice League, only to tell Superman that his planet was doomed to be taken over by Brainiac's latest invention. Battles continue between Darkseid and Superman in the Justice League, But No Spoilers here for you guys, you have got to watch this.


Darkseid also possesses Superhuman strength that matches Superman, the knowledge to manipulate Energy, Matter transmutation, The Omega Effect that which a form of energy that fires from his eyes, Psionic Powers, Regenerative healing factor as well as Dimensional and Time travel abilities and lastly his existence is Immortality.


In the Comic storylines, Darkseid travel throughout time and dimensions to Earth and plans to attack Earth by kidnapping Supergirl, By using the Black Kryptonite to brainwash Supergirl, to only provide him and his army a leader for his Female Furies as well as to have a powerful strength being that could only match Superman. Batman working alongside Superman, manages to save Supergirl. This only leads to Darkseid having revenge on Supergirl as his plans had fail when Supergirl had teleported out as the last minute.


With rage, Superman steps in and decided to take on Darkseid, for which they attempted to destroy each other in the battle, but lastly, Superman remains victorious as Superman defeats Darkseid unconsciously enough to throw him into the Source Wall, where Superman declares that,

"For years and years, you've tried to learn the secrets of ultimate power from the other side. But you will never get the answers - just like the others who are entombed here. This is where you belong. Along with all the other failures in the universe."

But Darkseid could not escape his greatest destiny of all as he has been foretold that Darkseid would meet his final defeat at the hand of his very own Son, ORION.
