You know what they say, if you try hard enough, you will eventually succeed. That is what Darkseid found out during the Final Crisis storyline. After dedicating much of his life to finding and controlling the Anti-life Equation, the evil ruler of Apokolips finally succeeds.

What is ironic is that this came about as a result of one of his biggest defeats. After his war with New Genesis, the essence of Darkseid’s soul is sent hurtling through space and time. When his spirit finally reaches Earth, it alters the fabric of space-time, causing all of existence to slowly get sucked into the centre of creation. While on Earth, Darkseid resorts to manipulation, as he is able to use his agents to raise an army and slowly begins to take out key heroes so as to weaken his enemies.

Eventually, his forces are able to unleash the Anti-life Equation on the people of Earth, replacing everyone’s free will with that of Darkseid. He was now master of the planet and its people. Under the Equation’s control, everyone was forced to obey Darkseid, and Darkseid alone.
