**Darkseid**, born as **Uxas**, is the main antagonist of the *DC Extended Universe*, serving as the unseen overarching antagonist of the 2016 superhero film *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* and as the main antagonist of its 2021 director's cut *Zack Snyder's Justice League*.

## History

### Background

For thousands of years on his quest to find the Anti-Life Equation, Darkseid laid waste to thousands of planets searching for it. He later came to Earth in search of the three Mother Boxes. However, a team of Amazonians, the Old Gods, the humans, Atlanteans, and a Green Lantern Corp stopped him. However, during the battle, Darkseid killed Yalan Gur.

After Steppenwolf's attempt to seize the throne and betrayed him, Darkseid exiled his home of Apokalips. Steppenwolf, realizing his mistake, showed remorse; however, Darkseid would never allow him to return home unless he conquered a hundred thousand worlds for him.

### Potential Future

In the potential Knightmare future, Darkseid successfully conquered the Earth. Killing most of the Justice League, including Wonder Woman and Aquaman, Darkseid sought to make Superman his subordinate by killing his wife, Lois Lane and turning Earth into a wasteland. Batman lead a group known as an Insurgency to take down Darkseid; however, Superman killed his former friend and destroyed the Insurgency trying to stop him.
