Powers/Abilities:
In addition to the considerable military forces at his command, Darkseid himself is quite formidable. His main power is the Omega Beam or Omega Effect, which is fired from his eyes. The Omega Effect is not only a powerful attack, but can teleport the target anywhere Darkseid chooses, erase the target from existence instantly and can then restore the target if he chooses. The Omega Effect is not limited to traveling in straight lines, able to bend or twist as needed. It can traverse time and different universes, and go through some barriers such as Orion's body.

Darkseid also possesses strength and stamina slightly beyond that of Superman. He has overpowered the demon Etrigan, and Lobo hurt his hand by punching Darkseid.

Darkseid has the ability to transmute matter. He turned Ol-Vir, a Daxamite, into dust, soap into dirt, and Slo-bo into a statue. He can teleport himself and others--he has moved entire planets. He also has mind control greater than that of Sleez, being able to control three million or more Daxamites. According to Orion, he can travel through time as easily as any god. He can create life, as he did when he created Stayne.

General Personality:Darkseid is a character whose personality can vaguely be described as evil incarnate. Darkseid is not merely content to control but to dominate those individuals under him into totally obedient and morally corrupt caricatures of individuals. Apokolips is a world that resembles Hell because of his need to be worshipped as a god and the need to nurture the most horrible aspects of the human spirit. In a personality cult reminiscent of Stalinism, his subjects are raised to venerate him, 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). Darkseid 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. He especially takes delight in seeing the mighty brought low whether in strength or moral conviction. Darkseid's primary weakness may be his obsession to get even with people who have gotten the better of him, especially Superman, Wonder Woman, and the New Gods. He may also begin to develop a grudge against Batman, who robbed him of his most powerful apprentice, Supergirl.

Darkseid's great ambition is to wipe out free will from the universe and reshape it in his own image. To this end, he seeks to unravel the mysterious 'Anti-Life Equation', which will allow him to control completely the thoughts and emotions of living beings. The Anti-Life Equation has often been portrayed as a quasi-mystical power that forces a listener to agree with whatever the wielder says. Other times, it is portrayed as a comprehensive scientific theory on how to dominate any living mind, whatever its nature may be.

Whilst he has yet to obtain a complete working copy of the Anti-Life Equation, he has tried on several other occasions to achieve dominance of the universe through other methods. Darkseid has a special interest in Earth, as he believes humans possess collectively within their minds most, if not all, fragments of the Anti-Life Equation. If he should conquer Earth, he will probe the mind of every human to piece together the Equation.

Orion possesses significant fragments of the Anti-Life Equation, while Scott Free (Better known as Mister Miracle) is the only being in existence who knows the entire code.

History:
Darkseid is the ruler of the planet Apokolips, a post he obtained after assassinating his mother. He is obsessed with finding the Anti-Life Equation in order to use it to rule the universe. This goal also includes conquering his rival planet, New Genesis, ruled by the Highfather, formerly Izaya the Inheritor. The resulting destructive war is stopped only with a diplomatic exchange of the Highfather's and Darkseid's infant sons. Darkseid's Orion is surrendered to the Highfather while Darkseid receives Scott Free, who will later become the master escape artist Mister Miracle. This turns out to be a setback for Darkseid with his biological son growing up to fiercely value and defend the ideals of New Genesis in opposition to his father.

Darkseid's latest attempt to attack Earth was through the kidnapping of Supergirl. He had hoped that he was able to use Black Kryptonite to brainwash Supergirl, thus, providing him with a leader for his Female Furies, as well as a warrior on par with Superman. However, this plan backfired as Batman and Superman were able to save Supergirl. This set forward a plan of revenge by Darkseid to destroy Supergirl. This also fails as Supergirl is teleported out at the last minute. This sets Superman into a unparalleled fit of rage as he hurls Darkseid into the sun where they attempted to destroy each other. Superman beats him unconscious enough to throw him into the Source Wall. There, Superman declared that. For years and years you've tried to learn the secrets of Ultimate power from the other side. But you will never get the answers just like the others who are entombed here. This is where you belong. Along with all the other failures in the universe. The mysterious appearance of the Maximums has been linked to Darkseid. To pay a debt incurred to an alternate reality Darkseid in order to realign the timeline, Superman recently freed Darkseid from his entombment.


Role Play Sample:
Smashing Superman in the stomach, sending him above the clouds, Darkseid shot Omega beams that blasted him out into space. Turning around, Supergirl kicked him, sending Darkseid through the Kent's family house. Getting up, he was met by her fist which threw him into the barn. This girl was indeed stronger than Superman, he thought. As she struck again, he caught her hand, then used the Omega beam to blast her through the air and she landed in a crater. Jumping to where she was, Darkseid landed on her, blowing a hole in the earth and sending up a small mushroom cloud of dirt and dust. Feeling heat at his foot that was over her face, he jumped back in pain as she used her heat vision. Using his hand to deflect it, he threw her into the air then fired three Omega beams at her. She skillfully dodged them, and as they followed her, she got behind Darkseid, pulled his jaw from behind and used her feet to bend his knees breaking his balance, sending him into his own beam, which hit him away into the fields.
