Granny Goodness, Darkseid’s closest ally, is planning to overthrow him to become DC’s next big bad. She is amassing a new army of “lost” children and is not willing to share with Darkseid. However, Wonder Woman has already beheaded one of Darkseid’s closest allies during the Justice League’s final battle against Darkseid. Darkseid has also taken over all of DC Comics in Infinite Frontier: Secret Files 6. While Darkseid’s profile as a villain seems to be as high as it’s ever been, some wonder if he deserves to be considered the ultimate bad guy of the DC Universe. Finally, in Final Crisis, one of Superman’s allies was turned into the ultimate force of evil, becoming the new Darkseid. In a Justice League Odyssey video, it is revealed that Darkseid plans to become a cosmic being again.
