Darkseid

Darkseid is.

*"All stories always lead to me. The last chapter... It is time for the lower beings of creation to remember who they fear in their darkest hours, in their deepest moments of despair. This new multiverse is now infinite. But I am finite. I am final. Darkseid is... the end."*

## **Summary**

**Darkseid** (daark-side), born as Uxas, is a **New God** and the tyrannical leader of the world **Apokalips**. He seeks nothing else but the absolute domination and subjugation of all life in the Multiverse. To this end he has conquered or destroyed countless worlds in his primary pursuit of the **Anti-Life Equation**. With the equation he believes that he can enslave all beings in existence to his will. Immortal, incalculably cunning and manipulative, and with nearly unrivaled might within the DC Omniverse, he is seen as one of the most dire threats in existence.
