Darkseid’s Bad Bish/Big Thicc Energy Makes Him the Best Dressed Villain

Out of every villain across the board in fiction, I’ve always respected Darkseid’s flex. If you don’t know who Darkseid is, I’ll learn you right quick. Darkseid is a big big man from a planet called Apokolips that’s got beef with their sister planet New Genesis. He’s constantly looking for Anti-Life Equation which will help him enslave the universe to his will. He’s Superman’s most dangerous enemy and he is evil incarnate. Darkseid is all that’s evil in the DC Universe. Now when I say evil, I’m not talking Saturday morning cartoon villain evil. I’m talking dude in the in the red Hyundai that shot Ricky. Scar telling Mufasa “Long live the king” before his Tom Petty free-fallin’. Regina George telling you to go to Sears with the rest of the poors. Darkseid is all that but way worse. Darkseid is the voice telling you to smack the shit outta Greg in accounting for eating your yogurt. Let’s consort the comic book writer elders on this. The way Julian Lytle tells it, “He’s that thing that you can’t deny is there, that’s pushing you toward darkness.” and Tom King breaks it down like this, “He’s the evil inside of us. He’s the darkness. He’s the thing inside of us that calls us to do the wrong thing or be warped the wrong way. That’s inescapable: Darkseid exists. That’s there.” Get it? You can’t escape Darkseid. Darkseid is violence. Darkseid is the infinite sadness. Darkseid is… However, all that has nothing to do with why I respect his flex. But his dress game tho?! Darkseid is…..
