==Character History==
 
 
Darkseid was born as Uxas on the planet Apokolips, son to [[Yuga Khan]] and [[Heggra]].  Early in life he murdered his brother, Drax (who would become the [[Infinity Man]]) in order to obtain the Omega Effect.  His father was entombed in the Source Wall after unsuccessfully trying to learn the barrier's mysteries, and his mother Heggra then took the throne.  Darkseid fell in love with a witch named [[Suli]], who attempted to curb her lover's violent ambitions, and she was successful for a time.  Heggra did not like the woman's influence over her son, and so ordered her to be murdered by [[Desaad]].  After the death of the only woman he ever loved Darkseid became even more ruthless, and in time took his vengeance by killing his mother and taking the throne of Apokolips himself.
 
 
Ever since that time Darkseid has been a scourge to the universe, a supremely powerful and ruthless villain who seeks to control all of creation.

Darkseid

The Lord of Apokolips, Darkseid is a powerful, god-like being who seeks to conquer Earth and ultimately obtain power over all life.

Superman and Jimmy Olsen first encounter Darkseid through the agency of his minions, including Morgan Edge II, in November 1970 when they battle the Mountain of Judgement alongside the Newsboy Legion (SPJO No. 134: "The Mountain of Judgement").

In January 1971, Darkseid's servant Simyan notes that he is "stern, but he rewards his loyal and efficient servitors." Darkseid's own words, however, betray a personality that is less sanguine:

    Yes but who can deny the power of the other
    side?  Death can eclipse life!  A great
    lie can smash truth!  And the answer to a
    finely disciplined Superman is ... a chaotic
    fury of a thing --an uncontrollable organic
    murder machine!

[edit] Super-Powers

The Omega Effect, manifesting itself in the form of beams from his eyes, is Darkseid's most fearsome power. It is capable of producing anything from gentle warmth to matter-annihilating heat.

These eye-beams are guided by Darkseid's mind toward his desired target and are capable of amazingly catastrophic destruction. They can also teleport a foe through time or space and even bring back beings that were previously destroyed by the Omega Effect.
