Who is Darkseid? We Explain

Yes, he conquers worlds, and yes, he's hell-bent on universal domination, but that definitely isn't all there is to Darkseid. From his origins to his best comic book moments, everything you ever wanted to know about Darkseid.

When Jack Kirby was concocting the idea of Darkseid for his short-lived but influential Fourth World stories, he envisioned the ultimate evil in Darkseid. He modeled the Tyrant after Adolf Hitler, the real-life embodiment of evil and tyranny, whose universal lust for power and control is reflected in Darkseid's actually universal lust for power and control, with Apokalips exemplifying a tyrant's ultimate dream: a world of total control with no resistance.

The one aspect of Darkseid that wasn't modeled after Hitler? His face. That was somewhat modeled after the actor Jack Palance.
