Darkseid's Elite
Post-Crisis
Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
When Darkseid was temporarily killed by Orion, and with Neron and Desaad moving the strings, the elite members waged war between each other to see who was worthy of becoming the new ruler of Apokolips. The conflict ended when Desaad disguised himself as Darkseid to preserve his authority. (Underworld Unleashed: Apokolips - Dark Uprising v1 #1)

Overview
Members
- Darkseid :

- Granny Goodness :
- Virman Vundabar :
- Kanto :
- Kalibak :

- Glorious Godfrey :
- Amazing Grace : living amongst the lowliest of Apokolips. A loyal agent of Darkseid, she pretends to preach opposition to Darkseid's word and encourages them to revolt. When they do, they are easily defeated, crushing their revolt and their spirits. When Superman infiltrated Apokolips, trying to prove Darkseid was behind G. Gordon Godfrey's reign of terror on Earth, Grace was "captured" by Darkseid's troops and was to be thrown into the firepits; all to lure Superman out. He saved her, but he himself fell into the firepits. He survived, but with no memory or powers. It was implied that Grace seduced Superman on behalf of Darkseid, and convinced the Man of Steel that he was Darkseid's son. Superman was given his powers back when he allied himself with Darkseid and led Darkseid's forces into battle. Serving Darkseid, Superman went into battle against Darkseid's true son, Orion, who used the powers of the Motherbox to restore Superman's memories while erasing his knowledge of, and guilt over, the thousands that had died because of his actions under Grace's influence.
