    Darkseid

    Character » Darkseid appears in 1523 issues.

    Uxas, famously known as Darkseid, is the supreme monarch of the ecumenopolis, Apokolips. Widely regarded as one of the Justice League's worst adversaries, the greatest enemy of New Genesis and one of the biggest threats to the DC Multiverse, he seeks to bend everything to his will and remake the cosmos in his image, while searching for the Anti-Life Equation, an equation which seemingly consists of immense power that has the potential to dominate all life in the DC Multiverse.

    Darkseid's Omega Beams Must Be Ridiculously Slow (like 12 MPH)

    I mean instead of just going straight he bends them to follow the target...and Bruce Wayne dodged them for crying out loud.

    I dunno, either Darkseid is a Bat fanboy (hard to believe) or his beams are just super slow.

    Omega Beams
    Omega Beams

    He brags about them to instill fear even though he knows they are so slow an average human could dodge them until they got winded. He probably bends them hoping he can ensnare a target with the beams like webbing and then hit them with them.

    Bats avoiding it is PIS. But they're still not TOO fast (light speed, or anything such), because people like Flash & Superman have avoided them for long enough to show that much.

    I actually wouldn't be surprised if he was a Batman fanboy. Nowadays, everyone is.

    So you in car VS Darkseid. Will he get you or not? My guess is you can speed up, stop you car, and then throw a trash can bin at the beams. The can gets vaporized. Darkseid assumes he got you cause the beams auto lock on apparently, and you are so far way and have turned so many corners in the city that Darkseid can't see you anyway.

    You survive Darkseid's attack and get to live to tell about it, HURRAY!

    This.

    Uh no. A car isn't nearly as fast as light-speed. If Superman has struggled evading them, a car isn't going to help...like...at all...

    Flash was out of breath running from them and would have been hit except he got lucky by using demon as a shield so the OB are pretty fast.

    Yep..you notice Darkseid won't even turn his head while firing. Because if he did it would throw off the beams aim as much as he bends it.

    Maybe the reason why Darkseid loses is, under all that scariness and supposed smartness, he really ain't that bright. : }

    Darkseid has tricked cosmics and the Source itself. The reason Darkseid doesn't Omega Effect Earth out of existence itself is PIS.

    Why would you Omega beam prime real estate? DS is looking to take it over not destroy it.

    I don't know, Darkseid's pretty evil. And he really dislikes Superman. He also knows that Superman would probably survive a planet wiped out by Omega Beam. So if he REALLY wanted to tick off Superman, I'd imagine all it would take is one Omega Beam to the planet Earth. Wouldn't even be that hard: Boom Tube to ANY POINT ON EARTH, look DOWN, fire Omega Beams, boom tube home as the planet is vaporized. Superman spends the rest of his life knowing he lost two homeworlds in the span of one lifetime.

    If he takes over Earth, there's a chance for revolt. Superman can gather his allies and take Earth BACK from Darkseid, make things the way they were. But if the Earth is destroyed? No coming back from that without a high class reality warper, the kind which generally aren't much disposed with mortal affairs such as 'loss'.

    Because fans like to see a human succeeding in a world of superhumans. Not that Batman is often an underdog, but whatever...
