"I am the revelation! The tiger-force at the core of all things! When you cry out in your dreams... it is Darkseid that you see!" -Darkseid
Throughout the entirety of the DC multiverse, one name strikes fear into the hearts of mere mortals more than any other. Today we put the final pieces together in the puzzle that is Darkseid. Where does he come from? Why is he so powerful? Exactly how powerful is he anyway? And is it possible to beat him? The answers might seem obvious at first, but don't be fooled! The stories you've been told are hiding more than a few key details. Real answers are worth fighting for... and boy, is this going to be a fight. Join Tyler in another journey across time and space to solve the greatest mysteries in fiction using real life science, math, philosophy, and source material! There's only one rule to keep in mind for today's trip: Darkseid is.

Everyone in Metropolis looks up in the sky. Sometimes we see him, sometimes we dont. But we always know hes around. Metropolis Citizen
Its not a bird... Its not a plane...
Sure, we all know Superman can fly, but does anyone know how? In most interpretations, Kel-El seems to just reach his arms upward and start propelling through the air without any real explanation. People tend to just shrug their shoulders and say, Hes an alien or Its a comic book, but there may be more science to this fiction than everyone realizes. What are the chances that someone could REALLY fly through the stars without a jet or a wing? Do you need to be from another planet or have a different biology to shrug off the laws of gravity? Reality is always throwing us curve balls, and we at Sup Sci are ready for the pitch. Has Superman just been flying for so long that no one questions it anymore?
