Darkseid is the tyrannical ruler of Apokolips, a planet in the DC universe.
He possesses a genius level intellect, invulnerability, a massive army, and access to the Omega Effect.
He can use the Effect to fire laser beams from his eyes, which can bend around corners, travel extremely fast, and lock on to it's target.
Depending on how powerful Darkseid wills the beam to be, he can injure, maim, or at it's highest power level, wipe beings from existence.
Darkseid is one of the new gods, and is unmatched in hand to hand combat.
With his super strength, speed, flight, and rock hard skin, he regularly goes toe to toe with Superman, frequently beating him in combat.
Darkseid's goal is to find the Anti-Life Equation, which will give him the power to reshape the universe in his image.

"I am entropy. I am death. I am... ...Darkseid!"
