No, this isn't some Darkseid doppelgänger we're talking about, this is the Darkseid. As in, the one who has come close to wiping out humanity on dozens of occasions.

Yep, that's right, nobody's favourite Lord of Apokolips actually got mugged in a comic tie-in for DC's line of Super Powers toys released in the seventies. Depowered by Desaad and frozen by Mister Freeze. the venerable tyrant finds himself on Earth, in need of clothes, cash, and a way back home.

Except things don't really go according to plan. Like, at all. Two muggers stumble upon him as he attempts to make his way out of a seedy ally-way, and they pretty much 'clanng' him to death with a metal chain.

Darkseid: Lord of Apokolips. Bested by two kids in a random NYC neighbourhood.
