scans_dailyMany millenniums ago, Darkseid was a mudfarmer. Who put the old gods against each other and when they were weakened by their war. Darkseid took the opportunity to kill them and take thier power for himself.
Izaya was married to Darkseid sister. Who got critically hurt during the old gods war with each other and he beg his god to save her.
Interesting how Darkseid have kill many parallel universe Supermen.

Still I find I have more and more problems with this the more I think about it. For one thing it shows the plot armor of the main character.
But as for this story it could easily be shown as a lie told by Darkseid later. This makes him far more big you know. His parents are now nothing, as opposed to a being who could threaten him. It gives him actual claim to Mr. Miracle since he's now his uncle. It ties his arch enemy to him, it makes the Old Gods look like fools, it gives the Lowlies on Apokalips hope he can crush
