Darkseid was a persistent threat towards Earth-One, which he believed was the key to victory against his world Apokolips' eternal adversary, the planet of New Genesis. Since this Earth was in a dimensional plane adjacent to both warring globes, it was easily accessible. However, what he failed to account for was the presence of superheroes there, hence he created the Secret Society of Super-Villains to combat them. When this too failed, Darkseid ultimately saw another road to triumph.
When he had been seemingly shunted into non-existence after a battle with his son Orion, in fact Darkseid was sent to Earth-Two where he met members of the Injustice Society. Seeing a new universe separate from New Genesis, the malevolent master of malice attempted to shift Apokolips into position where Earth-Two existed, destroying the latter world and securing an entire universe with which he could plunder.
This was not the first occasion when Earth-Two had been threatened, as the alien world of Asgard infringed on this planet in 1945 due to the machinations of that world's Adolph Hitler in his last ditch effort to seek vengeance against his opponents. The Justice Society of two worlds defeated him, as a future version of the Society merged with Asgardians to carry on a fight with Darkseid's doppleganger as had the New Genesisians decades later.
Darkseid was under the false belief that there were no dopplegangers in the Earth-Two universe of his old foes known as the New Gods. In fact, there were, individuals such as Uncle Sam (instead of Highfather Izaya), the Ray (instead of Lightray), Human Bomb (instead of Infinity Man), Mr. Terrific (instead of Mr. Miracle), Fury (instead of the Female Fury known as Big Barda), Red Bee (instead of Bug), Magno (instead of Orion) and so forth. While those counterparts were natives of the Earth of their universe rather than an alternate New Genesis, they were just as powerful and just as heroic.
In an alternate timeline where the Multiverse was reconstituted, another Earth-Two and Apokolips faced one another, and in this reality Darkseid's world in fact entered Earth-Two's universe and destroyed that planet... despite the best efforts of a third Justice Society. Or was it?
