So something like a huge black hole?

Essentially the "bottom" or epicenter of a black hole in DS' case. A place where the gravitational force is infinite, affecting space-time.

Depends what you mean by "was it". Obviously Darkseid wasn't emitting an infinite gravitational pull from his person - but his presence in the mainstream reality is what was causing the multiverse to get flushed down the cosmic toilet.

Think Abraxas, but on a much larger scale.

Yep, Darkseid was like Abraxas on uber steroids.

Except that Abraxas was aware of what he was doing and was intentionally doing such, and Darkseid....was falling after having his heart ripped out by his son.

Oh DS was aware. "Space-time crumpled as though gripped by an enormous fist." He decided to take the multiverse with him on his descent to hell.

Thank you. I also concede, that DS's "refusal to die" was partly the ALE. But the grip on the multiverse was his own power. It was more like the problem was getting him weakened enough to make him let go of the multiverse. He was already dying, the ALE was helping him stave off that death. His sheer power not including the ALE however, necessitated using several plot devices to make him finally crash into the black hole and finish dying. The ALE was part of that death grip, but Darkseid must be considered abstract in that form even without the ALE.

I'm not bothering with Kandy, since I consider him beneath my notice.

True. Based on the on panel descriptions its gravitational pull was around New Earth space.

the Judge of All Evil had to help the earth heroes pull New Earth out of the black hole and make it so DS wouldn't pull everything in again.

Hmm....strictly speaking, Darkseid still isn't quite dead. There's still some part of him raging at everything in the depths of the black hole.

I thought he fell out of the DCU, through the singularity.

Not that he actually died at all.

Part of him died to the Black Racer. But the fact that he survived the singularity and just fell through, warping the space within into his own personal hell dimension is crazy.

* Recently they killed his body, trapped his soul and made his consciousness explode. Bets are open on how long it takes for him to come back.

Darkseid is king of comebacks if he ever manages to bring himself back from THAT.

Assuming IC and FC didn't drastically alter the future history anyway.

The "One Million" series takes place in the very distant future. So, theoretically speaking, everything that was going to happen regarding the characters involved.... Should have already happened.

(in a perfect world, of course.)

Darkseid destroys Nabu with ease.
