Superman: The Dark Side (1998) #1

Prestige Format, Elseworlds

Superman is the galaxy's greatest hero because he was raised in Smallville by loving Earth parents. But what if he had been raised by the galaxy's greatest villain instead?

In Superman: The Dark Side, a rocket bearing the child from Krypton lands on Apokolips, a hellish planet of dictatorship and despair. It is ruled by Darkseid, a despot in search of the Anti-Life Equation that will deprive all mankind of free will. He raises the boy to become a Super-Soldier in a war to enslave world after world.

Who can stop him? The New Gods, the Forever People, and Mister Miracle, strewn throughout Apokolips and its edenic rival, New Genesis.
