Darkseid (DC Extended Universe)

## Summary

**Darkseid**, born as **Uxas**, is an ancient and powerful cosmic warlord, who reigns over the New God planet of Apokolips and desires to rule the Multiverse with the Anti-Life Equation. After he invaded Earth thousands of years ago, in which the planet contained the Anti-Life Equation, he was beaten and lost the three Mother Boxes used in the invasion in his retreat. He then tasked Steppenwolf to retrieve the boxes and finally take over Earth after Superman’s death. Because of this tyrannical goal and his obsession for the Anti-Life Equation, he is the greatest arch-nemesis of the Justice League, the superheroic champions of the planet Earth, the only world that was able to resist his attempts at conquest. In a potential dark future known as the Knightmare, Darkseid was successful in activating the Anti-Life Equation, using it to corrupt Superman and turn the Earth into a hellish wasteland.
