DARKSEID IS.

[Duck Call Lass]

30th century version for use in the Great Darkness Saga event. Someone tell me if I did a boss villain right?

This guy is meant to take on multiple Superman-level heroes at once and win. The Legion defeated him by inflicting emotional stress -- "You have done that which is beyond imagining. You have shattered the dream of a god." -- rather than punching him out, even though they got some hefty assistance with the punching for a while.

BTW, Darkseid's 20th/21st century stats are a little different. For one thing, he doesn't have stolen power.

So in Legion of Super-Heroes #293, Darkseid mentally enslaves the entire population of the planet Daxam.

According to MHR rules, that means he added 3,000,000,000d6 and kept an extra 3,000,000,000 effect dice.

I've actually been working on a Darkseid build for a while now, having re-read Final Crisis and re-watched Superman: The Animated Series recently. I came up with the following:

Feel free to plunder it for ideas.

According to MHR rules, that means he added 3,000,000,000d6 and kept an extra 3,000,000,000 effect dice.

Which statistically will result in 500,000,000 rolls of 1, giving half a billion Opportunities to the heroes.

Which nicely explains how such a powerful being could be defeated in the end
