Sometime later Steppenwolf was resurrected through Desaad invention and became Apokolips military leader under Darkseid's command.
Doomsday
Thousands of years ago, Steppenwolf accompanied Darkseid to the planet Bylan 5 so that Darkseid could wed the princess of the planet. In actuality, the devious duo really wanted access to the precious resources of the planet and were using the marriage as an excuse to obtain it. However, the monster Doomsday appeared and quickly began wreaking havoc on the planet, even managing to kill Master Mayhem. Angered, Darkseid attempted to engage the monster but Steppenwolf decided it was best for them both to retreat as the Bylan 5 was essentially destroyed.
Dog Calvery
Steppenwolf's main job is commander of Darkseid's Dog Calvary. He trained the dogs and men to work in Darkseid's main army. His best warrior was Canis Major. When Canis Major had a son, Canis Minor, he tried to train the boy to fight. All the lad was interested in was art. Eventually the boy killed his father and took his place as Canis Major. It turned out the son was alot better then his father. When Steppenwolf found out about this, he told Darkseid. Darkseid ordered Steppenwolf to kill the son saying, how he preferred his father.
