History
The Old Ways With the New Gods
When the Old Gods fell in Ragnarok, the New Gods filled the void. But this was a cycle, and the power, methodology and ultimate fate of the Old Gods remained within the New Gods.
All that is Darkseid's has been taken by him through blood and force. It is unsure how Uxas evolved into an embodiment of evil that he is now. But it is known is that two key events propelled him on his path. First, Uxas killed his mother, Heggra, to wrest control of Apokolips from her after Yuga Khan was trapped on the Source Wall in his attempt to unlock the secret of The Source. Then Desaad betrayed Drax, Uxas' brother, as he was trying to master the Omega Effect. Uxas then killed his brother, rightful heir to the Omega Effect. With power, a following, and a drive to accomplish his goals without regret or remorse, Uxas took up his God Name: Darkseid.
Darkseid and the Forever People
While on Earth the Forever People disrupted the evil plans of Darkseid. This was not the kind of attention Mark wanted, During there visit Beautiful Dreamer was kidnapped, Mark was not impressed. Due to the Fact they had stumbled across an intergalactic war. New-Genesis and Apokolis Had got themselves into a war while they were vacant from supertown, Mark blamed Sarifan for the situation they were in. They had to rescue Dreamer. Darkseid was the leader of the Apokolis. He was about to test the Non-Violent Group to there fullest.The war was the fault of a maniac partner of Darkseid known as Devilance, They both partnered up to destroy the peaceful place of New Genesis, they waged war on all that was peaceful, and earth was where he chose his HQ.
The Dark Era
With a planet under his iron rule, Darkseid began to create a war machine with a capability to wage war that outstrips that of whole galaxies. Soldiers, weapons, armaments, and other instruments of war at his disposal. Most of these are to wage a war with his fellow New Gods on New Genesis. Unlike Apokolips, New Genesis is a lush, idyllic planet populated by just or righteous Gods. Much to Darkseid's chagrin the New Genesis is more advanced since free will and creativity are encouraged there.
The Pact and the Prophecy
It was not known what occurred in the first few millenia of his rule. But eventually a war was waged (most likely instigated by Darkseid) between Apokolips and New Genesis. To stop this war that would surely have exterminated the New Gods, a pact was made between New Genesis and Apokolips. The terms of the pact were that Scott Free (Mister Miracle), the son of the leader of New GenesisHighfather Izaya, would be traded for the son of Darkseid,Orion. This trade would seem an odd move for the cunning Darkseid, as it has been foretold that Orion would be the one that slays him. But Darkseid knew the fires that raged within his son were hotter than the fires that raged from the pits of Apokolips, and that when the fury of Orion was loosed all the New Gods would tremble. All except Darkseid. And when the time came, Darkseid would crush Orion, as he crushed all that stood in his way.
The Anti-Life Equation
Like all Dark Gods, Darkseid long sought the means to rule everything in creation. He realized that despite his vast power, his enemy was choice. It was free will that kept Scott Free strong despite the years of punishment. It was free will that quelled Orion's fiery heart, who chose to protect the ways of New Genesis and focused his rage on Darkseid. Yes, free will, choice, is an enemy. When Darkseid discovered that there was an Anti-Life Equation, a formula that would stamp out free will and allow him to mold and rule the universe at his whims as he ruled and molded despair ridden Apokolips, he made dedicated himself to uncovering the equation.
Characteristics
Age: Unknown (Immortal)
Height: 7'6”
Weight: 515 lbs
Eyes: Red
Hair: None
Unusual Features: Dark grey skin.
Personality: Darkseid's personality can vaguely be described as evil incarnate. He is not merely content to control but seeks to dominate those under him into totally obedient and morally corrupt caricatures of individuals. The planet Apokolips is a world that resembles Hell because of Darkseid's need to be worshiped as a god and the need to nurture the most horrible aspects of the human spirit. On Apokolips, Darkseid's subjects are raised in a personality cult to venerate him and to sacrifice themselves gladly in his name.
Darkseid practices great emotional restraint, always maintaining a calm and disciplined composure despite the furious rage that often boils within him (his son, Orion, has inherited this rage but cannot control it as well as his father, relying on his Mother Box to keep his emotions in check). He seems to possess a twisted form of honor, but this code is 'flexible' depending on his mood; it seems he desires to be thought of as an honorable being, but never lets this stand in the way of his gaining power or revenge.
Darkseid especially takes delight in seeing the mighty brought low, whether in strength or moral conviction. His primary weakness may be his obsession to get even with people who have gotten the better of him, especially Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, the New Gods, and now possibly the Joker. During the latest Batman/Superman story arc, the Joker attempted to control Darkseid when the Clown Prince of Crime gained powers similar to Mister Mxyzptlk. It was later revealed that Bat-Mite was inside the Joker the whole time. (Bat-Mite literally crawled out of his mouth). Darkseid actually attempted to vaporize the Joker with his Omega Beam at one point, but seemed to miss on purpose.
Powers
Known Powers: Darkseid is an incredibly powerful being, possessing near godlike abilities. Essentially the only limit to Darkseid's abilities is his willpower. Most of his power comes from the Omega Effect.
Known Abilities: His genius surpasses that of most other known beings in the universe. He is a master planner and strategist and his armies are nearly unbeatable under his leadership.
Strength Level: Godlike
Weaknesses: His obsession with finding the Anti-Life Equation, obsession to get even with people who have gotten the better of him. Meta-humans or other beings of colossal strength are able to hold their own in a fight against him. Additionally, Darkseid requires an immense amount of willpower to perform a majority of his powers and abilities, should his willpower be disrupted in anyway, he is unable to completely focus on his own abilities and powers.
Misc (optional)
Equipment: All of Darkseid's equipment (weapons and transportation included) derive from Apokoliptan technology, hardware that is extremely advanced and years ahead of that on planet Earth.
Transportation: N/A
Weapons: N/A

- Regeneration: Darkseid can heal from nearly any wound in a matter of seconds, or at most, minutes. He can recover fully from even death, although it may take time.
- Superhuman Intelligence: Darkseid possesses intelligence that makes him one of the greatest minds in the universe. He is an excellent strategist, and has proven that not only sheer force of strength and power has aided him in battles.
- Superhuman Willpower: Darkseid’s force of will is what truly makes the tyrant a true threat. He has one of the most indomitable wills in the universe, and once he sets his mind to something, nothing can cause him to turn from it.

If the being that Darkseid strikes with his Omega Beams is weak enough, and considering there have only been a handful that have withstood them, Darkseid can erase them from existence. Darkseid can choose to recall and similarly reform them beings that he has erased from existence at any time he desires.
There are only a few barriers and energy sources than can block the Omega Beams. In one instance, his Omega Beams were deflected by Superman's heat vision, and more recently Wonder Woman's bracelets. It has also been noted that a few beings are key to the stability of reality are immune to the Omega Effect. - Teleportation: The Omega Beams also enable Darkseid to teleport targets anywhere he desires. He can send them anywhere in the universe, of even through time or other dimensions. This power also works on him self as well.
