10 Comic Villains You Didn't Realise Actually Won
2. Darkseid - Mister Miracle
Given Tom King's Mister Miracle series contains a full scene of the superhero stabbing Darkseid repeatedly until he stops moving, you'd be forgiven for not thinking that the villain comes out of the comic a winner.
But that's because many of the comics final revelations are easy to miss. While it initially appears as though Scott has managed to get his happy ending, it becomes clear that the reality of the situation is much, much worse.
Because, as it turns out, Miracle does not kill Darkseid, but rather gets himself trapped in the Anti-Life Equation. Though he could easily escape - Scott Free is his name for a reason, after all - he opts to stay in this strange state of Limbo, in order to have an easy life with his family. And, all things considered, you can hardly blame him - even if it means that Darkseid did get his enemy completely out of the picture.
