Darkseid's Prehistoric Redesign Is His Most Terrifying Form Ever

The DC Universe's most terrifying villain, Darkseid, is about to get the most brutal prehistoric redesign in DC Comics history.

Darkseid is perhaps the most notorious villain in DC's many years of publication. Questing for the Anti-Life Equation, this maniacal force is on a constant thirst for power and destruction in a move to expand his throne on Apokolips. He's usually seen as the worst-case scenario for any DC story as he leaves destruction and death in his wake. Now, Darkseid is about to make his latest appearance in a new series that's been considered to be pretty silly and a ridiculous must-read...yet his new look is anything but.

The Jurassic League is a new series by Juan Gedeon and Daniel Warren Johnson that focuses on everyone's favorite heroes and villains as dinosaurs. The story focuses on the prehistoric heroes facing an onslaught of foes attacking at once. From the Joker as the Jokerzard to Bizarro as Brontozarro, the villains proclaim that they are working with a mysterious being called the Dark Embryo. Brontozarro mentions in The Jurassic League #3 that the entity is an other-worldly being that goes from planet to planet, sapping it of its energy, then moving on to the next. Who the Dark Embryo is has been shrouded in mystery as it causes Joker to create DC's most savage team, but a new cover art has shown who it likely is, and they're bound to be the Jurassic League's greatest foe yet.

Cover art for The Jurassic League #6 has shown that Darkseid himself is the final battle for the dinosaur heroes, and his design is absolutely terrifying. He's massive in size, easily overshadowing the team's main trinity. In fact, it looks like he can devour all three in one gulp. All the villains that the heroes have faced so far look like child's play in comparison as the fate of their Earth lies in the hands of this rag-tag league of heroes. Take a look at the terrifying new Darkseid here to prepare for the upcoming final battle:

What's really scary are the multiversal implications of this new version of the character. DC recently announced that their current event, Dark Crisis, was actually a sequel to the famous Crisis on Infinite Earths in a surprise twist for fans. While the Jurassic League are unlikely to make an appearance, it sets off alarm bells for when the multiverse comes into contact once more. If this version of Darkseid were to bleed over into the current mainline series, they'd likely be in for a difficult battle. This is literally a version of Darkseid with teeth, and he's much bigger than any version the Justice League has ever come across as shown by the fact that he can swallow multiple members whole. He's even scarier than the upcoming zombie version that the DCeased League will face in their final battle with the zombie villains because he can cause immediate destruction.

The final issue of The Jurassic League is expected to hit stores on October 11th. This is the battle that the series has been building up to, and based on Darkseid's new design alone, it's going to be a savage fight. This take on the character is by far the scariest yet and could very well cause massive ripples that will affect this version of the League forever. DC Comics has been known to make this villain one of the scariest based on his potential since he was first introduced in the 70s, but Darkseid's new look is his most terrifying yet and sure to go down as one of his most memorable outings in comics alongside his mech counterpart bringing his own horrors to the DC universe.
