10 Characters Who Have Defeated Darkseid

4. Humans Who Mug Him While He's Homeless

It's rare to catch such a well protected villain like Darkseid suffer a state of weakness. That is not to say that such a sight does not exist in comics canon. The few times it has happened really left an impact as it showed us what it looks like to see an almighty tyrant fall to his knees.

The second issue of DC's Super Powers gave us such a glimpse in what can be argued as Darkseid's biggest moment of weakness. In an issue prior, Darkseid is betrayed by Tyr and Desaad before being drained for all of his Omega powers. Powerless, he escapes to earth where he went into hiding.

To avoid anyone from recognizing him for his crimes and reporting him to some local superheroes, Darkseid broke into a clothing store and basically dressed up as a bum. Not before long after that, he gets robbed and beat up by some small time crooks.

Eventually, Darkseid gets his powers back before the miniseries ends, but it's still strange to think that some human muggers got the jump on the ruler of Apokolips.
