Darkseid (Comic Book)	comment	New Gods Main Character Index Apokolips (Darkseid) \| New Genesis \| Other CharactersAdvertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Dread Lord of Apokolips. The Ultimate Big Bad of the DC Universe. The God of Evil.None can even begin to describe Darkseid — Darkseid IS.Darkseid was created by Jack Kirby and later used by Legion of Super-Heroes writer Paul Levitz, in The Great Darkness Saga. Darkseid (pronounced "dark-side") stands tall among the New Gods, ruling dread Apokolips as he wages a constant war for control of the universe and possession of the Anti-Life Equation, which will allow him to either conquer the universe or destroy it, Depending on the Writer.He first appeared in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #134 (December, 1970) and later in New Gods and related titles. He was a character within the Fourth World, a Jack Kirby sub-universe of the DC Universe that was originally supposed to be self-contained and finite. Executive Meddling prevented the conclusion that Kirby originally intended, which would have killed most of the New Gods and ended their storylines, and Darkseid was drafted into the DCU at large along with the rest of the New Gods. In popular culture, Darkseid hit the big time in the 1980s when the toy company, Kenner, decided he was perfect for their Super Powers action figure line as the product line's Big Bad who was effectively Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine in one as a believable challenge for even Superman.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Darkseid has served as the Big Bad for numerous DCU heroes and titles in the decades since his first appearance. Since Jack Kirby was never able to introduce the conclusion to the New Gods that he originally wanted, Darkseid has often drifted without clearly defined goals and roles within the DCU, and at times this results in rather drastic Badass Decay when authors try to fit him into stories for which he was not originally intended. This led writer Grant Morrison to put an end of it in Final Crisis — a Crisis Crossover in which Darkseid not only regains his badassery and motives, but even manages to Take A Level In Badass and become a God of Evil, who's been killing entire Universes just by existing.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_10add6ee	type	Kill the God
Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_10add6ee	comment	Kill the God: He tries to do this to every god he meets other than his New God underlings, as he sees other gods as obstacles in his conquest of the universe. In Walt Simonson's run on Orion, it's revealed he launched deadly pogroms against the alien gods of other cultures of other worlds to acquire their power and increase his own, something he nearly accomplished with the Olympian Gods of Earth more than once. In his origin, revealed in Forever Evil, he was a simple farmer who killed the Old Gods and took their powers to himself.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_1207d30	type	Villain's Dying Grace
Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_1207d30	comment	Villain's Dying Grace: Sometimes, Darkseid sentenced his enemies to... the torment of life as a being with free will. He even turned Young Justice's Secret back to a normal human girl as a form of this once she betrayed him. However, since Evil Cannot Comprehend Good he missed that he was actually giving her exactly what she wanted in the first place. The application of this varies, of course. The Suicide Squad earned this once he realized they dared to invade Apokolips, but the survivors were pretty much made of Survivor Guilt from then on, most notably with Amanda Waller, who's become borderline suicidal with some of her risktaking since. Similarly, in the DCAU, this is Darkseid's vengeance on Superman at the end of his series, with implications that humanity never wholly trusts Superman again. Unlike in mainstream continuity, this does last in DCAU, and leads to one of Superman's closest friends in his series to join Project Cadmus in JLAU.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_13992073	comment	Rasputinian Death: In Final Crisis. First Batman shot him with a god-killing weapon. Then, Barry Allen and Wally West tricked him into hitting himself with the Omega Beam. Then Black Racer destroys his body until nothing is left of it. Then Wonder Woman binds his essence. And it still takes Superman singing the musical equivalent of The Multiverse, with the help of the Miracle Machine, to kill him! Even that is a Subverted Trope. As shown in the reboot of Justice League, Darkseid wasn't just rebooted from Flashpoint. If the mental tortures and memories given to Superman in the new Origins Episode of the League are to be considered, he was just transferred into the DCnU. This is actually a carryover from the previous reboot, Crisis on Infinite Earths, which apparently did not affect the New Gods at all and allowed them to remember the old multiverse. Darkseid even creates the Post-Crisis Rudy Jones version of Superman's enemy the Parasite because he remembers the Pre-Crisis Max Jensen version and notices his absence from the new Earth.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_14dfb81	type	Power Creep, Power Seep
Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_14dfb81	comment	Power Creep, Power Seep: Darkseid was initially intended to be, and frequently features as, the Greater-Scope Villain of the entire DC universe. He proved so popular, however, that he also makes semi-regular appearances outside of such a context. Thus, Depending on the Writer, he's a threat that has literally required rewriting reality to defeat, or he's easily defeated in a few panels. This is especially jarring when writers forget that Darkseid rarely gets involved in personal combat not because he's weak, but because most characters aren't stupid enough to try.

His deep, echoing, gravelly voice terrifies the Titans...and then it turns out he's just had a cold for a long time. One lozenge later, he turns into Weird Al.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_1645005b	comment	Evil vs. Evil: During a crossover with Marvel, Darkseid had a throwdown with Galactus when the Devourer of Worlds came to consume the lifeforce of Apokolips. As noted under Enemy Mine, Darkseid has fought against other large-scale villains such as the Anti-Monitor, as well as playing the role of the larger villain other villains join forces against. During the finale of Justice League Unlimited, Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom went straight to Superman and the Justice League for help after Darkseid returned from death and announced his plans to invade Earth. In the New 52 origin, Darkseid is a Villain Protagonist rebelling against the extremely callous and uncaring Old Gods.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_178ca149	comment	The Worf Effect: A subverted one. Darkseid sometimes succumbs to this when writers want to show that their new villain means business. Doomsday, Imperiex, the Anti-Monitor, and Brainiac 13 have all threatened and (in Doomsday's case) frightened the God of Evil. It's a subversion since Darkseid did play a critical role in eventually defeating them all.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_187bddc1	comment	Darkseid is himself the focus of his own Religion of Evil. All of Apokolips revolves around the eternal worship of him, and he is pretty up front about the fact that he is a God of Evil so virtues like compassion, peace, joy and the rest are actively stamped out in it. He's also worshiped by other beings throughout the cosmos, most notably Malefic, Evil Counterpart and brother of the Martian Manhunter.

He possesses no sense of personal affection for anybody (at least after Suli's death), will make it a goal to assert authority to his subordinates and slaves in the most abusive manner possible, particularly towards Kalibak, has a grandiose sense of ego and will constantly twist his words into manipulating others with no care, only to stop occasionally, simply gloat to them about how they fell for his machinations. Whatever sort of interest he has towards anybody is only determined by his standards of what is worthy and commendable, otherwise, anything and everything can just be destroyed or subjected to agony.

His son Orion inherited the bloodlust but lacks the control and needs a Mother Box to keep himself in check. The few times Orion is separated from his Mother Box he lives up to his title of "Dog of War" and literally foams at the mouth with bloodlust.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_443b78cd	comment	Tranquil Fury: Darkseid embodies this. He is every bit as bloodthirsty and Ax-Crazy as his most vicious minions (if not more). Yet he hardly ever raises his voice except to give grand speeches. He just calmly makes absolutely certain that his enemies suffer and die. It's rare indeed to see someone send Darkseid into Unstoppable Rage. Batman had a Moment of Awesome when he made Darkseid have a minor Villainous Breakdown (and got pummeled for it) by threatening to blow up Apokolips and revealing that he had the means to do it. Which Darkseid then subverts after agreeing to Batman's terms by saying that had Superman or Wonder Woman tried that, he'd have called their bluff since they "do not have the strength of character to destroy an entire world." But Batman is a human, a species that kills their own kind to win battles, which he considers admirable. In the DCAU, this sets up a Moment of Awesome for Darkseid. Throughout Superman's series, Darkseid relied primarily on his minions for his dirty work, and often simply observes them, hands clasped behind his back and seemingly passive. Then Superman punches Darkseid... and Darkseid not only takes it, he proceeds to give the only Curb-Stomp Battle in the series with Superman on the receiving end. Superman only barely survives by a desperation move that hurts both of them so much that the fight cannot continue. Later on, however, Superman returns the favor and beats Darkseid to a bloody pulp. And successfully kills him. Dang near sticks, too. From then on Darkseid makes sure to coldly dispatch of Superman by any dirty trick available and will deny his defeat.

After she was tricked into killing him, he was separated from the Equation and reverted back to a baby. Grail vowed she would raise him with love, just as her mother did her, but we can only speculate whether it will work out — and his smoldering red-orange eyes aren't exactly a step in the right direction. Ultimately, in Wonder Woman, it turns out that he still has his adult mind, so he grows up in pretty much the same way as he always has.

Once this was invoked in Batman The Brave and the Bold, where due to a taunt from Batman he used the same strength as an mortal being without any of his enhanced abilities and still completely defeated Batman. That said, his physical body is so strong that even with him holding back he had enough strength to knock over buildings and send Batman flying.

Victims are typically vaporized, although Nigh Invulnerable folks like Superman can get away with third degree burns (according to Darkseid, the Omega Beams attack the inherent weaknesses of its target; the very very few beings with no weakness treat it as a No-Sell). A variant of his technique, the Omega Sanction, traps whoever it hits in a neverending cycle of death and rebirth, with each life worse than the last.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_88ebc539	comment	Always a Bigger Fish: There are only two beings he's afraid of: dear old Daddy Yuga Khan, the only being in Creation even worse than he, and the monster Doomsday, who kicked his ass with ease. Later on he loses the fear of Doomsday. In a more meta-case, while he is often considered to be, and was actually designed to be, the Ultimate Evil for The DCU, there are a few villains who rival or even overshadow him in terms of scope, power, or influencenote Which by no means makes him a pushover: All the following villains are capable of causing universal-scale-total-extinction-events at a minimum, and many of them would call such as act "Tuesday", such as the Anti-Monitor, Nekron, Imperiex, arguably Krona, and Mandrakk, the latter of whom played Darkseid like a fiddle without the latter even knowing about it. Darkseid is certainly more evil than any of them, though, and still manages to remain one of the ultimate villains for the verse. Conversely, in the New 52, the Anti-Monitor himself is terrified of Darkseid, and feels like he needs to devour more universes to even stand a chance against him. Needless to say, it didn't work. In Evan Dorkin's one-shot, World's Funnest, Darkseid is comprehensively defeated by Mr. Mxyzptlk (with a little inadvertent help from Bat-Mite). The Omega Beam does nothing more than provide Mxy with a handy light for his cigar. During the Marvel crossover "The Hunger", he was stomped by (a hungry, thus weakened) Galactus. However, both were just getting warmed up, and were interrupted by Galactus completing his world-devouring machine. In Emperor Joker, he was forced to seek help from The Quintessence to stop The Joker (who had Mr. Mxyzptlk's reality-warping powers) from potentially gaining the Anti-Life Equation, knowing the peril the cackling lunatic may cause to all of reality. Unfortunately, by the time he's presented his case, the Quintessence has already been reduced to imbeciles by the Joker. Realizing that the Anti-Life Equation is lost to him and that he's utterly powerless to fight the Joker, Darkseid surrenders to the Joker's madness. In Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, despite never actually confronting each other in the comics, Trigon outclassed him in every aspect on his home turf of Apokolips.

And Orion was the only son he remotely had any respect for. His treatment of his other sons is even worse. Kalibak is scorned by his father for being a simple-minded thug and reminding him of his deceased wife Suli; while Grayven is hated for constantly trying to usurp him (which he fails at every time). Of course, Darkseid's own parents weren't exactly Mother and Father of the Year either. His mother had the only woman he ever loved poisoned, and his father is apparently an even worse tyrant than he is.

Questioning Darkseid is an instant death-sentence, and his ultimate ambition is to control all life everywhere and eradicate The Evils of Free Will including love, happiness and hope, turning it into a bleak, miserable dystopia where everyone suffers and worships him as God. He fits six of the seven criteria; the only thing he misses out on is Conspiracy Theorist, and that because everyone on Apokolips is conspiring against him, but most are far too terrified to actually try anything, so he rarely takes such plots seriously.

After a long battle between two of the most powerful beings in comics, Galactus triumphed and began to eat the planet. Only then he realized there was no life force in Apokolips to feed on. So he asks Darkseid why he fought so hard and tooth and nail, sacrificing legions of his troops, despite knowing the fact Galactus wasn't actually a threat. Darkseid says, basically, "It's What I Do", and then gives a Not So Different to Galactus: both of them are slaves to their nature.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_bf1255fa	comment	Really Gets Around: Seriously, and a decidedly dark take on the concept. Darkseid has three sons that we know of and each were born from different mothers but there it has been stated that he has even more children scattered throughout the cosmos. There has also been at least two women Darkseid has taken as mistresses but it is doubtful they are the only ones. Furthermore, he has killed or ordered the killing of at least two of those women. And creepier still was when Eclipso tried to pawn Mary Marvel to him so that she might become his concubine in Countdown to Final Crisis, though in Darkseid's defense he was more interested in her potential as a powerful minion. Earth-2 has him involved with the Fury Death, the last survivor of Mars, and she even bears/bore his child. Justice League in the New 52 showcases how he begat a daughter on Apokolips who causes nothing but chaos everywhere she goes; ironically enough it was her capacity to travel between realities that set his sights on terraforming every universe he comes across into an extension of his hell world. Interestingly enough, he may have chanced upon Prime Earth home of said Enemies who had halted his incursion into their reality long before he ever met them; as he had fathered yet another child named Grail to a rogue Amazon. At the very same time Diana of Themyscera was born no less.

If the mental tortures and memories given to Superman in the new Origins Episode of the League are to be considered, he was just transferred into the DCnU. This is actually a carryover from the previous reboot, Crisis on Infinite Earths, which apparently did not affect the New Gods at all and allowed them to remember the old multiverse. Darkseid even creates the Post-Crisis Rudy Jones version of Superman's enemy the Parasite because he remembers the Pre-Crisis Max Jensen version and notices his absence from the new Earth.

Given that Apokolips' technology isn't that impressive compared to several other civilizations in the universe, and Darkseid's physical prowess of "nearly as strong as Superman" became nothing special in the context of the high-tiers (several characters in Superman's own rogues gallery could match or overpower him such as Doomsday, Brainiac, Mongul, Zod, and Cyborg-Superman, to say nothing of other heroes on his level like Captain Marvel)... his reputation became hard to take seriously. Final Crisis was partly dedicated to explaining away his previous defeats by putting forward the idea that the "true" Darkseid existed as a multiversal being and the Darkseid that the heroes (and readers) actually encountered was an avatar. Though this hasn't really been referenced since.

This is Depending on the Writer though, with a second possibility that he's uncomfortable with free will itself.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_e03070b7	comment	Dystopia Justifies the Means: The Trope Codifier. Darkseid's ultimate goal is to use the Anti-Life Equation to rob everyone in the universe of happiness and free will, turning them into nihilistic, despairful mind-slaves whose only purpose in life will be to worship him. Apokolips itself is a kind of hellish space-age Greco-Roman world where the majority of the populace exist as slaves working to build a never-ending supply of monuments to him; on the rare occasions when they rebel, Darkseid simply makes those slaves the new slavemasters and due to a lifetime of conditioning they are just as petty and cruel as their predecessors.

Darkseid (Comic Book) / int_e1acc872	comment	From Nobody to Nightmare: Forever Evil reveals his new origin in the New 52. Many millennia ago, Uxas was an ordinary mudfarmer, who put the Old Gods against each other, and when they were weakened by their war he took the opportunity to kill them and take their power for himself. Izaya was married to Darkseid's sister, who got critically hurt during the Old Gods war with each other and he begged his god to save her. Due to Izaya still having faith, The Lord of The Sky passes on one final blessing to him. Since then, Izaya was the Highfather and him and Darkseid were the New Gods.

One of those exceptions is Desaad, whose loyalty to Darkseid is based entirely on his fear of the tyrant. Desaad is still very loyal to Darkseid because Darkseid is just that terrifying. This is best shown in the finale of Superman: The Animated Series. Superman has Darkseid beaten to a bloody pulp, and tosses him to the mercies of his slaves... who pick him and carry him off to be healed.

Probably because Grayven is basically Darkseid-lite; there's nothing he can do that Darkseid can't do better and he tries to be The Starscream. Kalibak may be an incompetent brute, but at least he's loyal. Darkseid also begrudgingly respects his second son Orion even though he is prophesized to kill him and so has no problem trying to kill him.
