As a New God, Darkseid is among the most powerful beings in the DC Universe, with immortality, immense strength, and many abilities. His best-known and most-used ability is shooting Omega Beams from his eyes. Powered by a cosmic energy source called the \"Omega Effect\", the beams are an intense form of heat energy that can act as a concussive force, can disintegrate organisms or objects, can cause a target to have never existed, and can resurrect fallen beings killed by them.<\/span><\/p> <\/p> During the Final Crisis, Darkseid used his Omega Beams to grant power to Mary Marvel, and her powers afterward were based on Anti-Life rather than magic. Darkseid has pinpoint control of this energy and can direct the beams to travel in straight lines, curve around corners, and even pass through matter or other forms of energy. Some super-powered beings, such as Superman and Doomsday, can resist the Beams, although in the case of Superman, with a great deal of pain. Orion and Diana were able to deflect them, Firestorm once used his powers to redirect them, and, in a crossover story, Galactus was unaffected by them. Darkseid sometimes uses the beams to punish those who fail him but are too valuable to kill outright.<\/span><\/p> <\/p> Darkseid can teleport himself or others through time and space. His Omega Sanction traps organisms in a series of alternate realities in which they die. Upon their death, they are resurrected in a new reality, in which they die in a worse and more painful manner than the previous. Darkseid is depicted as immensely strong. He has effortlessly broken a Green Lantern Ring with his bare hands, easily overpowered two Kryptonians at once, and defeated the entire Justice League.<\/span><\/p> <\/p> He can move with great speed, once catching Superman off guard, and can react in nanoseconds. Even without his full power and strength, Darkseid has held his own against an Olympian God such as Zeus. He can increase his physical size, his true form as a New God being almost incomprehensibly massive. Darkseid has powers of telepathy and telekinesis, and he can create psionic avatars. In \"The Great Darkness Saga\", Darkseid displayed a range of deity-like powers, such as transposing the positions of two planets in different solar systems, taking mental control of the entire population of a planet, instantly absorbing all the information from another being's mind, pronouncing a curse, manifesting the worst fears of other beings as realities, and easily defeating incredibly powerful beings such as Mon-El, Mordru, and the Time Trapper.<\/span><\/p> <\/p> He has also displayed godly abilities by sensing the death of his son Orion and fluctuations of the energy of the \"Godwave\". Darkseid is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant who has been trained in the art of war on Apokolips. Combining his superhuman powers with his combat skills makes him one of the strongest beings in the DC Universe. He is proficient in the use of various weapons, even though he rarely uses them due to other powers like the Omega Beams. Despite Darkseid's extraordinary physical powers, he rarely engages himself personally in confrontations, as he prefers to use his superhuman intellect to manipulate or control others to his end. As the ruler of Apokolips, Darkseid has access to all of its military and technological resources. While Darkseid is a deity and immortal, having lived for several hundred thousand years, he is not invincible and has been killed on several occasions. Darkseid is able to drain the life force of other godly beings to rejuvenate himself or return to his full power. Demi-gods are capable of slowly rejuvenating Darkseid, but a god (such as Zeus) can return Darkseid back to his original form by draining the demi-god.<\/span><\/p> <\/p>![\"ths2dtahestaof9oypbs1188phbpfsqgafsnovo0ni3fnath.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/ths2dtahestaof9oypbs1188phbpfsqgafsnovo0ni3fnath.jpg\")
