Uxas was born to Yuga Khan and Heggra. After Yuga Khan was imprisoned in the Source Wall for his attempt to breah it and attain omnipotence, Heggra took over as ruler of their planet Apokolips. However, Darkseid engineered his mother's assassination. As Darkseid, he assumed control and instigated a war with the rival planet of New Genesis. After years of stalemate, a diplomatic exchange was arranged. Both side's rulers would exchange their sons. Darkseid's second son, Orion was given. Highfather, leader of New Genesis, exchanged his son.
Darkseid went about unchecked searching for the solution to the Anti-Life Equation. With it, he could control and dominate all of the free will in the universe. Darkseid could then eliminate chaos and recreate the universe in his own image, a system of order. Centuries later, Earth became the object of his attention. Earth was rumored to be the legendary Fifth World where the planet's inhabitants collectively held fragments of the Anti-Life Equation in their subconscious minds. Darkseid plans to piece together the Equation through each human being.
