Uxas

**Uxas,** better known as **Darkseid** is an ancient and all-powerful cosmic New God warlord and conqueror who reigns over the fiery planet of Apokolips‏‎ and desires to rule the entire multiverse by harnessing the unimaginable power of the Anti-Life Equation. He is the nephew of his herald, General Steppenwolf. Despite being opposed by Earth, he was ultimately successful thanks to the use of the equation. Two weeks later, he was defeated by the Justice League.

## Biography

#### Early Life

Thousands of years ago, before mighty Darkseid took the Throne of Apokolips, he became obsessed with the unholy Anti-Life Equation, a transcendental mathematical formula that eradicates free will.

#### The Reign Of Darkseid

In late 2022, Darkseid attacked a random planet to seek a powerful weapon known as the Anti-Life Equation. After locating the Equation on the planet Earth, he traveled there with an enormous army, planning to take the power of the Equation.

Upon arrival, he gained access to the Equation, and prepared to put it to use, but unfortunately for him, the Justice League saved universal free will. Darkseid later went back to Apokolips.

## Personality

Cold, calculating, and filled with contempt and hatred for all things. Darkseid is negativity incarnate; if ever there was a living personification of evil, it would be him.

## Behind the scenes

* In DC Comics, Uxas, the younger pre-Darkseid version of the character, was pure hatred personified. He was the son of Yuga Khan (the ruler of Apokolips) and Heggra. Uxas wanted the throne for himself even though his brother, Drax, was next in the line of succession. Turning on Drax, Uxas stopped him from gaining the power of the Omega Force and claimed the power for himself, becoming the ruler of Apokolips taking the name "Darkseid". A merciless tyrant who demanded unwavering devotion and abject fear from all his subjects. He was a major player in the cosmic war that was the "Final Crisis".
