The thing I love about this picture is that, compared to a lot of pictures of the God of Evil, he looks wizened. A lot of other interpretations have him either looking down threateningly on a victim or world, or ready to or in the midst of unloading a beating on an unfortunate Superman or miscellaneous superhero. It's all well and good, but in the end, it always looks like he's just another supervillain.

Here, though, you get a sense of what really makes him so dangerous - his mind. He looks strong, but not like Hercules. The rigors of time have not sapped his godly strength. The thousands of years of cold, calculating evil really comes through, and his aged appearance almost renders him sagely. He has had millenia to plot, and he will be here for millenia more, and nothing that anyone can do can stop him.

This is Darkseid, and he will outlast you. Darkseid always will be. Darkseid is eternal.

All hail mighty Darkseid!
