| “ | Darkseid is. | „ |
| ~ Darkseid's most famous quote. |
| “ | I. Am. The. New. God. All is one in Darkseid. This mighty body is my church. When I command your surrender, I speak with three billion voices. When I make a fist to crush your resistance. It is with three billion hands. When I stare into your eyes and shatter your dreams. And break your heart. It is with six billion eyes. Nothing like Darkseid has ever come among you; nothing will again. I will take you to a hell without exit or end. And there I will murder your souls! And make you crawl and beg! And die! Die! DIE FOR DARKSEID! | „ |
| ~ Darkseid |
| “ | The most powerful beings of this Earth...CRUSHED and HELPLESS at my feet. And once this planet is consumed...I'll send my forces out to slaughter any ragtag survivors who slipped through my grasp. Such is the annihilation that is Darkseid! | „ |
| ~ Darkseid. |
Uxas, better known as Darkseid, is one of the main antagonists of the DC Universe, serving as the main antagonist of the New Gods comic book series, one of the three main antagonists (alongside Lex Luthor and Brainiac) of the Superman franchise and one of the three main antagonists (alongside Vandal Savage and Anti-Monitor) of the Justice League franchise.
He is a merciless and tyrannical member of an extraterrestrial race of deities known as the New Gods. He is the arch-nemesis of Orion, his son named Highfather, the rest of New Genesis, the JLA (especially Superman and Wonder Woman), and one of the DC multiverse's most powerful and malevolent villains of all time.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
In General[]
- As the ruler of Apokolips, he subjects the population to hellish conditions where he uses them as abused slaves, such as forcing them to work in slave mines and killing them for the slightest disobedience.
- He even makes anyone who revolts slave masters who would keep those enslaved in line to make sure the population would continue to suffer.
- Seeks to increase his rule to the entire multiverse with the Anti-Life Equation, which erases free will and forces everyone to serve him as his slaves for all eternity.
- He conquered many planets and subjected the population to his tyrannical rule.
- While he did suffer a genuine tragedy in losing Suli, a woman he genuinely loved, at the hands of his mother Heggra, he’s far past it, as the loss doesn’t excuse any of his heinous crimes, and the loss of Suli doesn’t serve as the motivator for any of his horrible actions except avenging her death by killing Heggra, but afterwards he dishonors her memory by embracing his hegemonic heritage, embarks on a quest for godhood, world domination and commits evil for his own selfish purposes, to the point where he doesn’t even reference her anymore.
- Thus, it’s clear he moved on from (and shed) his love for her, despite it grieving him in the past.
- He tries to kill his “favorite” son, Orion, multiple times, even succeeding once in Final Crisis.
- Constantly abuses and mistreats his son, Kalibak, despite him being his and Suli's child, even killing him without hesitation numerous times whenever he failed him, later bringing him back to life only because he believed his death would "teach him a lesson".
- He has forcefully transformed others into Parademons by deconstructing their genetic material and modifying them to serve him as slaves.
- Kills his henchmen when they question his actions, outlive their usefulness, or show approval for his decisions, and tortures them with fates worse than death when they fail him.
- He has launched many attacks on Earth in an attempt to conquer it, killing hundreds, if not thousands, of people and putting him into conflict with Superman and the Justice League.
Pre and Post-Crisis/New 52[]
- Created a planet known as Daxam and enslaved the entire population of super-powered men and women so he could use them to take over the universe.
- Invaded the island of Themyscira so they could find where the Olympian gods were hiding.
- Killed his older brother, Drax, so he can get his place on the throne and gain the Omega effect.
- Corrupted Desaad into becoming his most loyal minion by tricking him into burying his pet cat alive after thinking it had killed his bird, then manipulating the boy into killing the bird when it was revealed to have been alive the entire time.
- Imprisoned and later had Desaad fatally poison his own mother (although she deserved it).
- Caused the destruction of the Fourth World of New Gods.
- Corrupted Martian Manhunter's brother, Malefic, and turned him into a mind rapist.
- When one of his concubines noticed he was thinking about his son's, he killed her with his Omega Beams and then ordered all of his future concubines to have their throats cut out as well so they could never tell the people of Apokolips about it.
- Attacked Themyscira in an attempt to take over the Olympian deities and steal their power, killing half of the Amazons in the process and destroying Olympus.
- Kidnapped Supergirl and brainwashed her into being his minion, simply to hurt Superman in an attempt to attack Earth.
- Waited until Mister Miracle arrived at his house to show him the tape of an adult movie Sleez had forced Miracle's wife, Big Barda, and Superman to make so he could see the look on his face.
- Kidnapped Shilo Norman and shot him in the head, nearly killing him.
- Kidnapped Jimmy Olsen so he could be a container for the power of the New Gods. Once Jimmy got powers, Darkseid beat him up and prepared to kill him before the Atom distracted him from Jimmy.
- Created a club known as the "Dark Sides Club," where he brainwashed superhumans with drugs and forced them to fight to the death. He also sent the Terror Titans to kidnap the Teen Titans and force them to fight in it as well.
- In Final Crisis, he:
- Attempted to destroy the multiverse and all life in it by opening a black hole simply because he was dying.
- Mortally wounded Lois Lane, with only Superman managing to find her a cure through time travel, saving her from dying.
- Had his minions capture and torture Dan Turpin until his spirit broke completely and he submitted to Darkseid's will, allowing Darkseid to control his body.
- Used the Anti-Life Equation to rob humanity of their free will and turn them into savages that serve him as a god while he tortures them to death just for fun. He also put his soul into everyone's body on Earth after enslaving them with the Anti-Life Equation, so that if Superman killed him, it would kill everyone on Earth as well.
- He forced the heroes to serve as his enforcers, including Wonder Woman.
- Turned Earth into a brutal concentration camp where people are worked to death and police are extremely brutal towards them, with a lady even nearly getting raped at one point.
- He framed Hal Jordan for murder.
- Killed Martian Manhunter and hit Batman with his Omega Beams, sending him back in time. Once Batman returned to the present, Darkseid would have it so that Earth would be completely destroyed upon his return. Although the heroes managed to prevent Earth's destruction, Darkseid still killed Batman with his omega beams when he arrived back in the present anyway.
- Destroyed the entire population of Bludhaven.
- Successfully destroyed the multiverse and all of reality upon his death. Though Superman used a time machine to reverse this, Batman and Martian Manhunter stayed dead.
Trivia[]
- Due to desiring to rob the entire multiverse of free will, enslaving and oppressing his homeworld, ruling as a tyrant, having one of the highest body counts out of any DC villain, destroying and enslaving entire planets, and destroying the entire multiverse temporarily due to him dying, Darkseid is considered to be one of the most evil DCU villains, if not the most evil.
- Darkseid is one of the few villains that both Batman and Superman are willing to kill.
- Oddly enough, Darkseid for his time during Pre and Post-Crisis are considered to be the same version in not being affected by the Anti-Monitor's destruction of the DC Multiverse.
