Fans excited forthe forthcoming Snyder Cutof the 2017Justice Leaguefilm may be curious regarding the newsworthiness that Darkseid will be hold an show in the recut and updated feature of speech coming in 2021 . If some fans are n’t intimate with the classic Justice League villain from the cartoon strip , they may have a few question : who is Darkseid ?

Darkseid was create by Jack Kirby for DC Comics back in 1970 , as part of hisForever Peopleseries and the first appearance of the New Gods . Darkseid is most often used as the primary arch - enemy for the Justice League , interchangeable to Thanos and the Avengers . One of the most powerful being in the DC Universe , Darkseid is the ruler of the fiendish satellite of Apokolips , which is covered by infernal machines of war and torture , with fire cavity and masses of slaves taken from conquered worlds . Darkseid wields an fantastically destructive amount of Omega energy , which he use to exert his dominance and rule , blasting deadly Omega beamsfrom his eyes which Superman and the Flash can scantily outrun . He was even able to go toe to toe with the Anti - Monitor ( for a fourth dimension ) .

Darkseid is most emphatically the stronger of the two beings , as Steppenwolf serves as Darkseid ’s general , leading the Parademon armies into conflict on his behalf . They ’re even relate : Steppenwolf is Darkseid ’s uncle , but after Darkseid vote down his own father and take leading over Apokolips , Steppenwolf had to fall in contrast or get the effect , which indicates just how powerful Darkseid in truth is . While still redoubtable with his electro - axe , Steppenwolf does not have access to the Brobdingnagian tycoon the Omega energy grants his nephew . Instead , he leads Darkseid ’s force into battle , heralding the sexual climax of his master as they conquer macrocosm in his name .

Steppenwolf being featured in the firstJustice Leaguefilm is akin to Thanos sendingLoki or the Black Orderto lead his forces in theAvengersfilms : they ’re the villain that ’s sent in because the more powerful foeman can not ab initio be bothered and is purportedly above such trivial conflict ( at least ab initio ) . The remainder here is that while Thanos was let on to be the conqueror behind the drape in that firstAvengersfilm , Darkseid was omitted fromJustice League , which naturally leads to confusion from a majority of consultation members that Steppenwolf was the top dog . If the reports are rightful , the Snyder Cut will remedy the lack of Darkseidin the recut edition . In the true , Darkseid is the alpha baddie , and always will be as far as ruling Apokolips is concerned , never mind the logical argument to be made that he could be one of the most powerful beings in the entire DC Universe at large . Sorry Steppenwolf .
