===Darkseid & The New Gods===
The final boss of the DC Universe, Darkseid is the face of the '''New Gods''', the magnum opus of comics icon Jack Kirby. The New Gods were created to be a mythic pantheon for the 20th century and Darkseid is their Satan, the god-like embodiment of tyranny and suffering who rules the appropriately-named Apokolips. His goal is to find the Anti-Life Equation, which he believes will disprove the meaning of life as a concept and give him complete control of every mind in the universe, so he can gain Real Ultimate Power and torture everybody for the lols. His powers are fittingly godlike, able to beat Superman to a pulp and instantly kill or banish anything with his "Omega Beam" vision, and he has a gang of New God cronies who are each almost as evil as he is. He is bad news: Batman had to pick up a gun and shoot him with a magical anti-god bullet as a "once in a lifetime exception" to put him away during Final Crisis and even ''that'' wasn't enough to kill him for good. He's so powerful that an entire other character (Mongul) exists solely to be Darkseid Lite so that he doesn't suffer from being repeatedly beaten and looking like a chump.
