He is the ruler of the planet Apokolips, a post he obtained after assassinating his mother. He is obsessed with finding the Anti-Life Equation to use to rule the universe. This goal also included conquering his rival planet, New Genesis, ruled by the Highfather, formerly Izaya the Inheritor. The resulting destructive war was stopped only with a diplomatic exchange of infant sons. Darkseid's Orion was surrendered to the Highfather while Darkseid received Scott Free. This turned out to be a setback for Darkseid with his biological son growing up to fiercely value and defend the ideals of New Genesis in opposition to his father. Meanwhile, Scott Free refused to be corrupted by the abuse of Apokolips and eventually escaped along with the former leader of the Female Furies, Big Barda to Earth to become the superhero escape artist, Mister Miracle.
