Uxas (Earth-7642)

U**xas**, also known as **Darkseid**, is an ancient and all-powerful cosmic warlord that reigns over Apokolips. Unto the hell that is Apokolips came Darkseid, pure hatred personified, a merciless tyrant who demanded unwavering devotion and abject fear from all his subjects. A being of unparalleled strength, Darkseid nevertheless preferred not to sully his gloves with combat unless provoked to action.

His eyes emitted the formidable Omega Sanction, ray beams that could disintegrate, teleport, or resurrect depending on the dread lord's wishes. His sole mission in life was to find and gain control over the Anti-Life Equation which would give him the means to usurp all free will in the sentient universe.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **New God Physiology**: The beings of Apokolips call themselves Gods and live outside of normal time and space in a realm called the Fourth World. These New Gods have evolved due to their close proximity to the Source, a primeval energy, believed to be one of the ultimate foundations of the Universal Expression of Energy, along with their superior technology, into beings of genetic stability and evolutionary perfection. The denizens of New Genesis are immortal, stronger, faster, and smarter than homo sapiens, despite their resemblance.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Darkseid is an extremely powerful alien hailing from planet Apokolips, who possesses colossal super-strength. Darkseid's full strength potential varies depending on the incarnation. Overall, because he is a high-tier cosmic being, Darkseid can easily overpower and kill humans and most galactic beings, he can bend and break through virtually any man-made material, can lift extremely heavy objects, and decimate full-sized buildings and other structures with his might. He possesses enough strength to match beings such as Superman and Wonder Woman in combat. Depending on the incarnation, he could overpower Superman with nothing but brute strength, or vice versa. As a god of New Genesis, he is able to break even the strongest of metals, once breaking a Green Lantern Ring with his bare hands.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Although rarely displayed, Darkseid can react and maneuver faster than the healthiest and strongest human athlete who partakes in daily exercise. However, Darkseid cannot run or move nearly as fast as speeders like Superman or the Flash. In some cases, however, he would often surprise Superman by appearing right behind him. It has been seen that Darkseid can react in microseconds.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**
	+ **Invulnerability**: Darkseid is extremely resistant to most forms of physical and mental harm. Darkseid's full durability capacity varies depending on the incarnation. Overall, because he is a high-tier cosmic being, humans could not even begin to harm him, bullets bounce off him, rockets, bombs and lasers will not even leave a mark on him, and high-voltage energy emissions cannot penetrate through him. He is completely immune to all earthly diseases and viruses. Despite his resistance, other high-tier cosmic beings like Superman or the Martian Manhunter can cause him great distress and pain. Also, materials forged from his home world can hurt him as well.
	+ **Immortality**: As a god of Apokolips, Darkseid can live almost indefinitely, as he cannot age, wither, or degrade. However, though it is nearly impossible for him to die, other high-tier beings like Kryptonians or the Spectre could kill him.
* **Omega Effect**: Darkseid wields a cosmic energy field called "Omega Effect," which proves integral, as it is the core from which his other abilities manifest from. This effect allows him to transverse through time and space, also enabling him to break barriers and force-fields.
	+ **Cosmic Awareness**: Darkseid can perceive and understand the workings of the universe on a cosmic level. He is able to perceive others even in different dimensions.
	+ **Dimensional Travel**: Darkseid's Omega Effect allows him to transverse through time and space at will, allowing him to cross between dimensions.
		- **Boomtube Projection**: Darkseid is able to create and project Boomtubes at will, either for his own use or to send others to desired destinations without requiring the use of a Mother Box.
	+ **Erosion Blasts**: Darkseid can focus his Omega energy through his hands and arms to generate eradicating shockwaves to destroy the surrounding landscape.
	+ **Erosion Blasts**: Darkseid is able to project energy from his hands as well as his eyes. To this effect the blasts can sustain damages from eradication to withering in effect, using both aspects to a devastating degree.
	+ **Avatar Creation**: A simple thought allows Darkseid to create liable avatars if/when the need arises.
	+ **Telekinesis**: Darkseid can mentally influence the movement of objects and people with his mind, using simple gestures with his hands.
	+ **Telepathy**: Darkseid can easily read minds of others anywhere in entire Universe. In this ability, he can also attack or invade someone's mind with images.
		- **Mind Control**: Darkseid can control the actions, thoughts and speech of humans just by thinking. In the scope of this ability, he can control and take over 100 individuals at once, indicating the capacity potential his brain can achieve.
		- **Psionic Possession**: Darkseid's psychic abilities allow him to possess an individual and negate any superhuman abilities they may have.
	+ **Telekinesis**: Darkseid can mentally influence the movement of objects and people with his mind; he often makes things float with simple gestures of his hand.
	+ **Size Alteration**: Darkseid can easily manipulate his size, density and mass just by thinking, enabling him to become any size he wants. Having once stretched an enlarged hand towards refugees from Earth 2 when Constantine tried to ferry them to safety in another universe.
	+ **Omega Beams**: Darkseid's main power. He focuses this power as a form of energy that he fires from his eyes. This effect is not only a relentless attack, but it is capable of teleporting the target to any location Darkseid chooses and recall them later or erase the target from the universe and similarly reform them. Darkseid has pinpoint control over his Omega Beams, and his unerring aim allows it to travel in straight lines or bend, twist or curve around corners. It has been shown that the Omega Beams are ineffective against the bracelets of Wonder Woman, as they were created from the Olympian Aegis. He has claimed that no being had yet withstood the full force of the Omega Beam, but Yuga Khan, Doomsday and Superman nonetheless survived the attack.
		- **Matter Manipulation**: Darkseid can transmute and manipulate matter, and in extension atoms, at will; he can destroy humans with a mere thought, and as such, he can even create his own creature complexions by design out of nothing, as he did when he created the being known as Strayne. Also, Darkseid can cause organisms to degrade and de-evolve.
		- **Molecular Dispersion**: He is also able to dissipate and disperse the molecules of an object or organism, effectively erasing them from existence.
		- **Resurrection**: He can resurrect people with his Omega Effect.
		- **Chronokinesis**: Darkseid can move and transverse through time at ease.
		- **Teleportation**: Darkseid can teleport himself and other beings anywhere in the entire Universe even through other dimensions at a mere thought.
		- **Power Distribution**: Darkseid could endow his lesser subjects with enormous powers, either granting them new abilities, increasing old ones they already possess or restoring lost powers to others at higher levels. He has done so with Mantis, Dr. Bedlam, Mary Marvel and his son; Kalibak.

* **Apokolips' Power Feed**: Darkseid can replenish his lost strength by sealing himself in the heart of Apokolips and "eat" the planet's energy. Doing so, however, is a risk since Darkseid is unable to get free until the replenishment is complete and the draining can accelerate Apokolips' withering process.

### Abilities

* **Leadership**: Darkseid is recognized as the ultimate authority in Apokolips, inspiring intimidation among his lesser subjects in order to ensure blind obedience through fear of his wrath.
* **Genius Level Intellect**: Darkseid possesses intelligence that surpasses even the greatest minds in the universe. With this, he is an excellent strategist and has proven that not only sheer force of strength and power has aided him in battles.
	+ **Science**: He is constantly researching about the Anti-Life Equation.
	+ **Tactical Analysis**: He is a master planner and strategist and his armies are nearly unbeatable under his leadership.
* **Intimidation**: With his frightening visage and ruthless nature, Darkseid instills fear in friend and foe alike, something he no doubt enjoys.
* **Expert Combatant**: Darkseid is a highly-trained Apokoliptian warrior with literally thousands of years of experience. He has held his own against powerful opponents, such as Superman. Despite his impressive fighting skills, however, Darkseid rarely resorts to personal combat to defeat his foes. Instead, he uses his servants to defeat his enemies for him. Apparently, Darkseid only fights opponents he deems worthy, such as Superman, Batman or Orion.
* **Indomitable Will**: Darkseid possesses an extraordinary control over his emotions, despite his reputation of anger and hatred towards all living things. His son Orion lacks such willpower.

### Weaknesses

* **Vulnerability to Radion**: Darkseid and all of the New Gods are vulnerable to a substance called Radion. Its source is unknown and its effects are toxic only in sustained amounts or after explosive exposure. The average New God can be slain by an application of Radion from a Radion blaster or bomb. More advanced beings such as Darkseid, protected by their power, armor and sheer toughness, have been known to take two hits and survive. Perhaps it requires the mysterious Element X to create it.
* **Dependency**: Darkseid must have X-Element absorbed into his body for his Omega Effect to works. Without it, he relies on his other powers.
* **Phobia**: Incredible as it may seem, Darkseid fears his father, Yuga Khan, more than anything else; Yuga Khan is the one being in the universe far more powerful and evil and was worse of a tyrant than even Darkseid. He is also much more brutal and cruel towards Darkseid than Darkseid himself is to his own children, Indeed, Darkseid would appeal even for Desaad to save him in his presence.
