Darkseid
Lord of Apokalips

ORIGIN

Darkseid is the ruler of Apokolips, the evil opposing world to New Genesis, home of the New Gods. Surrounded by his lackeys, Darkseid uses his vast resources and armies of Parademons and Hunger Dogs to wreak havoc on the heroes of Earth and New Genesis. Darkseid is powerful in his own right, though, possessing of great strength, near invulnerability, and the bizarre Omega Beams, which he uses to destroy his opponents or teleport them to other dimensions.

FIGURE STATS

Darkseid is by far the largest in the Super Powers line; even his card is slightly larger than the rest. When his legs are squeezed together, Darkseid demonstrates his "power action raging motion". More of a milestone is the clear plastic on the top of his head, which, when a light is shone through it, causes his eyes to glow red in imitation of the mighty Omega Beams.

COMMENTS

A massive figure, Darkseid towers over the rest of the collection. His cape is quite large, too. Although at the time this was the only figural representation of Darkseid, he has since been a favorite of toy makers. Why, I don't know, as he's often either short packed or a pegwarmer.
