New 52 The Chaos Sliverįollowing his apparent death, Darkseid slept within a special chamber in his domain on Apokalips. This 'death' resulted in Darkseid's 'godhead' breaking into many, severing his multiversal aspects from one another. His plan succeeded, but at the cost of his own life Darkseid was shot with a radion bullet, fired by Batman in the ultimate exception to his moral code. Years of manipulation would culminate in what would become known as the Final Crisis, an attack on Earth designed to draw out the Great Darkness. Crisesĭespite his antipathy for Earth and the forces of good, Darkseid would be instrumental in defeating the Anti-Monitor during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. However, the combined assault of Earth's defenders proved to be enough distraction for Batman to release Superman, who pushed Darkseid through a Boom-Tube for Cyborg to send to Apokolips, away from Earth. Seeking to conquer Earth, Darkseid went Earth to confront Superman personally, easily overpowering the Kryptonian's allies and managing to defeat and capture Superman. Some time ago, Darkseid came across the Amazon Myrina and conceived another child with her, a daughter named Grail, who unbeknownst to him was being raised to destroy him. At some point, he captured an aspect of Death in the form of the Black Racer to become his greatest weapon, but he couldn't command it unless it were anchored to a sentient host. Īs eons passed, Darkseid usurped rulership of Apokolips from his parents and became its sole ruler, with the only force capable of opposing him being his brother Highfather and his forces of New Genesis. Kalibak's mother Suli tried to lead Darkseid away from the path of evil, but Darkseid's mother Heggra had her killed as she believed that Suli made him weak. ĭarkseid conceived many sons one, Kalibak, became a brutal warrior of Apokolips while another, Orion, was traded for Highfather's own Scot in a promise of peace between both planets. The carnage would be interrupted by John Stewart, who was brought back to see the event by the New God Lonar however, following an attack by Darkseid, the time-displaced Green Lantern was taken back to the present by Lonar. Under Heggra's orders, Uxas used the Soul Cannon, a weapon designed by Desaad to amplify his own power into a crude early version of the Omega Effect, to slay one of the Oans and several New Gods. While the gods of New Genesis negotiated with the Oans, Darkseid had other plans. As he grew, he laid claim to the god-name Darkseid.ĭuring an early battle between the forces of Apokolips and New Genesis, a third party appeared on the field of battle- Oans, on their long road to becoming the Guardians of the Universe. Uxas, the being who would one day become the God of Evil, was the son of the despot Heggra and the Old God Yuga Khan, who ruled Apokolips. įollowing the cosmic upheavals of the Rebirth period, this character's history was revised (again). In time, Uxas would claim Apokolips as his domain. After seven days of horrific war, Uxas and his followers were cast out. This action sparked a civil war that set god against god and turned Galactica to ruin. They lived in peace until Uxas murdered Avia, Izaya's wife. ![]() The brothers Izaya and Uxas arose in Galactica, the Third World, which was born from the Living Atoms of the fallen Old Gods. ![]() Though Darkseid was initially presented as originating in the world of the Old Gods, a later storyline presented a different origin. Izaya, too, received power from the Old Gods and confronted him, claiming they were New Gods who should unite to bring forth a new age, but Darkseid only felt disdain and destroyed their world, with only him and Izaya remaining. Įventually, when his father Yuga Khan came to strike down both him and his brother Izaya for their insolence against the Old Gods, he used the Anti-Life to revive the Old Gods Uxas murdered, but was ultimately slain by his own son who took the fallen Gods' power to become the New God Darkseid. ![]() As the gods began to die, Uxas began stealing the Gods' power for himself. Soon the rebellious Uxas began putting lies and corruption in the minds of these Gods which sparked a war between them.
