Collector note: This wave brings with it new packaging which, to me, isn't as good as the last. It does not state which collect-and-connect piece comes with each figure. I guess there are now, at least, 'collector buttons'.

BIOGRAPHY:

There is no more fearsome place in all the Universe than the planet Apokolips, where Desaad is the right-hand man of the planet's cruel overlord, the Godlike Darkseid. Desaad has a favored place in Darkseid's court, specializing in devising super-weapons and torture devices for his ruler. Few ever speak openly against Desaad, knowing that he has spies everywhere. Regardless of his slight stature and lack of powers, he commands fear and deference from Apokolips' endless array of villains and monsters.
