He murders his brother, Drax, and claims the fabled Omega Force for himself, transforming him into a rock-like creature and takes on a new name, Darkseid. He falls in love with an Apokoliptian scientist named Suli, with whom he fathers a son, Kalibak; however Suli is poisoned by Desaad on Heggra’s behalf, who believed that Suli was corrupting her son. After Suli’s death, Darkseid grew even colder and had Desaad poison Heggra, becoming the supreme monarch of Apokolips. Darkseid briefly marries a woman, Tigra, with whom he fathers another son, Orion. The destructive war between the rival planet, New Genesis, is stopped only with a diplomatic exchange of the sons of Highfather and Darkseid; Darkseid’s second born son, Orion, is surrendered to Highfather, who grows up to value and defend the ideals of New Genesis in opposition to his father.

Darkseid seeks to eliminate all free will from the universe and reshape it into his own image and seeks to unravel the mysterious Anti-Life Equation, which gives its user complete control over the thoughts and emotions of all living beings in the universe. Darkseid believes humans possess collectively within their minds most, if not all, fragments of the Anti-Life Equation. Darkseid intended to probe the minds of every human in order to piece together the Equation.
