- "I am a revelation. I have a destiny to fulfill, and the only right thing to do. When I'm done, the most crucial insignificant thing I will do, is to kill you."
- ―Darkseid to Superman[src]
Darkseid, once known as Uxas, was an ancient and all-powerful cosmic New God warlord and conqueror who reigns over the fiery, extra-dimensional planet of Apokolips, and desires to rule the entire multiverse, including Earth, by harnessing the unimaginable power of the Anti-Life Equation.
Darkseid was once the heir to the Apokoliptian throne, until his ascension to the throne after gaining ultimate power, and the Omega Effect. During his reign, he visited many worlds and universes, until one day, he conferred with the Green Martians and was told about the power of the Life Equation. With that information, he presupposes that an inverse of the equation, the Anti-Life, must exist.
He began to decimate civilizations throughout the multiverse, searching and successfully gaining parts of the Anti-Life Equation in a span of millions of years.
