## Notes & Trivia

* Darkseid first appeared in *Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #134 (November 1970)*. He was created and written by legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby.
* Darkseid traded his son Orion for Mister Miracle in a peace effort between New Genesis and Apokolips.
* Some people say Darkseid doesn't fly, but hover, since he's rarely seen in a flying pose.
* Darkseid is interested in humanity because humans were one of the few species that possessed the Anti-Life Equation in their collective consciousness. He is especially interested in finding the few rare humans who possessed the entire Equation in their minds.
* Darkseid is a part of the "New Gods" comic book series back in the 70's and one of Superman's toughest foes.
* As a New God, Darkseid is among the most powerful beings in the DC Universe. His most well-known and utilized ability derives from the Omega Effect, which allows him to blast Omega Beams from his eyes. Omega Beams are an intense form of heated energy that can either act as a concussive force to subdue an opponent or as a disintegrating agent capable of eradicating organisms or objects from existence. Some super-powered beings, such as Superman and Doomsday, have proven resistant to the Beams, although in the case of Superman, with a great deal of pain.
* Also, Orion and Wonder Woman were able to deflect them, Firestorm once used his powers to redirect them and in a crossover story, Galactus was unaffected by them. These beams stem from a cosmic energy source called the "Omega Effect". The Omega Beams can also resurrect fallen beings previously killed by them.
* Darkseid's strength is depicted as immensely high, effortlessly breaking a Green Lantern Ring with his bare hands. He has easily overpowered two Kryptonians at once, and the entire Justice Avengers. He can also move with great speed, as he has been able to catch Superman off guard, and he is known to be able to react in nanoseconds.
* Even without Darkseid's full power and strength, he is still able to hold his own against an Olympian God such as Zeus. He can also increase his physical size. Darkseid also has additional powers of telepathy and telekinesis, and he can create psionic avatars. While Darkseid is a deity and immortal, having lived for several hundred thousand years, he is not invincible and has been killed on several occasions.
