Other Versions
- Darkseid appears in the intercompany crossovers, The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans (where he attempts to recreate Dark Phoenix to help him convert Earth into a new Apokolips), Darkseid/Galactus: The Hunger (where he fights Galactus when the Devourer of Worlds attempts to consume Apokolips), and DC vs. Marvel (where he fights Thanos, his Marvel equivalent, until the fight is interrupted by Thor, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Storm, Green Lantern, and the Silver Surfer). In Unlimited Access, the second of the limited run of DC vs. Marvel follow-ups, Darkseid and the gods of Apokolips have forged an alliance with Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants. He also makes a brief appearance in JLA/Avengers, where he briefly holds the Infinity Gauntlet before discarding it as the Infinity Gems do not work in his universe.
- In the alternate future story, "Rock of Ages", Darkseid has found the Anti-Life Equation and rules Earth, although he is killed when Connor Hawke and the Atom manage to bypass his protective force-field when Atom shrinks down to the size of a photon (reasoning that light must penetrate the force-field, otherwise Darkseid could not see) and detonates a bomb inside Darkseid's head.
- In Amalgam Comics, Darkseid and Thanos are merged into "Thanoseid".

“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
