In One Universe, Darkseid’s Iconic Omega Effect Comes from the Sun
Super Powers#2 by Paul Kupperberg, Carmine Infantino, Pablo Marcos, Albert T. De Guzman, and Joe Orlando
Originally , Darkseid ’s Omega Effect come from the Omega Force , a primal beginning of energy . Darkseid ’s brother , Drax , was set to absorb it , but Darkseid betrayed and kill him , adopt the Omega Effect for himself and serve as a tyrant ever since . This series of events is the common origin of the Omega issue , and DC has n’t explored the blood ofDarkseid ’s most powerful abilityin true depth since . This power is simply something he has that makes him dangerous . But if , like Superman , Darkseid derive his power from the sun , he could be far more grave .
Darkseid first appear , rather unceremoniously , inSuperman ’s Pal , Jimmy Olsen#134 by Jack Kirby , Al Plastino , Vince Colletta , and John Costanza .
Superman ’s biota is dissemble by solar radiation . Under a red sun , he ’s nearly identical to a human being . Under a yellow Lord’s Day — like Earth ’s — Superman is jolly muscular , but under a blue sun , Superman ’s power get through truly cockeyed stage . If Darkseid gain his top executive from the sunlight just like Superman , then it ’s reasonable to assume that he has similar failing and strengths . This assumption mean that if Darkseid were put under a blue sun , he would become far more powerful than he already is . Considering the strength of his baseline , this musical theme of Darkseid under a blue sun is pretty terrific .
Both Superman and Darkseid Are Powered by the Sun
While theSuper Powersversion of Darkseid is explicitly outside DC ’s independent existence , a core facet of New Gods lore is that they live in all universe in some capacity . The Omega Effect already has a pretty clear origin , but if Darkseid ever did find himself drawing might from the sun , it ’s potential he ’d become significantly strong than he already is . Supermanhas always gotten major power from " Sunday dipping " or being under a blue sunshine , and it ’s possible thatDarkseidcould incur the same sort of unbelievable rise .
Super Powers#2is usable now from DC Comics .
