Darkseid is the tyrannical ruler of the planet Apokolips who seeks to expand his rule across the rest of the universe.
History[edit | edit source]
In 150,082 CMT, Darkseid planned to use Klak to find the Anti-Life Equation, a fabled mathematical formula that would grant him control over the minds of all sentient beings, but this plan was impeded when he received word that Klak had died in Ragnarok. Despite this setback, Darkseid informed his servants that he would continue to search for the equation[1] and ordered them to find Klak's tomb in case the equation could still be found using his corpse.[2] The length of the search caused Darkseid to grow impatient, but Desaad calmed his master with the news that Steppenwolf had discovered that Klak survived, and that their patrols would find him soon.[3]
In 150,083 CMT, Darkseid met with Figlio di Armechio when the latter visited Apokolips. Figlio's subsequent dialogue indicated that their meeting was favorable, with the Dachori stating that Darkseid was a "pleasant man" and that it was "an honor to meet him and find common ground".[4]
Later, the Justice League and the Team discovered that Vandal Savage had taken the Warworld to Apokolips,[5] so Superman assumed that Darkseid was involved.[6] Nightwing decided that the Team would have to use a Boom Tube to travel to Apokolips because their Green Lantern was unavailable to transport them. Nightwing considered this method of travel a disadvantage because Darkseid would see them coming from "a lightyear away", but resigned to the fact that he had no choice.[7]
