Underworld Unleashed: Apokolips—Dark Uprising

    (DC, 1995)
™ and ©1995 DC Comics, Inc.

This story is part of DC’s Underworld Unleashed crossover that occurred in late 1995. In that saga, some two dozen DC villains were granted their heart’s fondest wishes by a strange and evil being named Neron. In exchange, the villains gave up their souls.

Paul Kupperberg writes this special tie-in, set on the dark world of Apokolips. The world’s dread ruler, Darkseid, has disappeared from Apokolips. Because the planet is comprised of evil beings, it doesn’t take long for the word to get out that the leader of the planet is presumed dead. Like cockroaches in the dark, the various heads of state descend upon Darkseid’s throne, each claiming to be the ruler. But Darkseid’s chief scientist and adviser Desaad has a better idea. He asks Neron for the ability to look exactly like Darkseid, then uses his newfound appearance to seize control of Apokolips.
