WTF? I must say, some of you with the highest opinions of Darkseid don't seem to have his story straight. Anti-Life is not death (well, it was portrayed as that in Cosmic Odyssey, but EVERY other writer has ignored that); it it the ultimate absense of free will in the mind and soul.
Darkseid does not represent chaos ... Rather, he represents complete and total order. He wants to see everything working as a cohesive, obedient unit. That fuels everything he does. However, that's not why he's important. He's important because The Omega Force is an essential "dark" energy of The Source. It's what he created Stayne from.
And yeah, this thread is ridiculous.
