Darkseid

## How Darkseid joined the Tourney

Jack Kirby debuted at DC Comics with Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #133 and immediately began establishing characters that would lay the foundation for his newly conceived Fourth World epic. The chief antagonist would be the Darkseid villain who made his debut in Jimmy Olsen #134 (November 1970) with subsequent appearances in issues #135 and #136. The character was originally designed to be the chief antagonist of the titles Forever People, Mister Miracle and New Gods, but after the cancellation of these titles, the characters along with Darkseid were incorporated back into the DC universe.

## How to Unlock

The player must accomplish one of these tasks to unlock Darkseid:

* Play 1100 Versus Mode matches.
* Using either Naruto, Kenshiro, Edward, Ichigo, Alucard, or Sailor Moon, finish Classic Mode on Hard difficulty or higher.

For both requirements, the player will have to fight Darkseid at Oil Works. Upon defeating him, the announcer will say "Someone else has joined the Tourney!" after a Smash Ball appears on the lower-right corner of the screen with a message saying "You can now use Darkseid, the adversary of Superman who is far worse than Lex Luthor." He will be seen right of Palutena, left of Krystal, above Hannah Montana, and below Lex Luthor.

### After the announcer calls his name

Darkseid moves his left arm to his right side and looks right, before turning to the camera and firing an Omega Beam at it. It clears to show Darkseid's upper body as he dares "Ready or not, here comes Darkseid!".
