Among the greatest comic book supervillains of all time, Darkseid is a character that inspires both fear and admiration. Although his backstory isn’t really that unique – a commoner who rises to the rank of a tyrant is a common plot element – Darkseid is quite special in so many ways, even if we disregard the fact that there exists a “True Form” of him more dangerous than everything we’ve seen so far. His appearance, his ideology and the ruthlessness of his conquests, along with the fact that he has absolutely no other motivation but to satisfy his own megalomaniac needs, are all elements that make Darkseid so important and that justify our decision to put him so high up on our list.
Welcome to discuss the world of these superheroes!
