One name stands above all others when it comes to supreme villainy-Darkseid. Ruling over the hellish world of Apokolips, Darkseid doesn't merely mean to conquer a planet or subjugate his enemies-he seeks to rob the entire universe of its free will and replace it with his own.

To this end, Darkseid employs the vast power of the Anti-Life Equation, a mysterious formula that would allow him to remove all free will from every sentient life-form in the known universe. In his quest for ultimate power, the immortal Darkseid has repeatedly come into conflict with Apokolips' sister world, the heavenly New Genesis, along with heroes like Superman and the Justice League
