Desaad- Prime Earth (Justice League 2011): The New 52

First Appearance: Justice League (2011) #6

Desaad is first seen in issue #6, where he is torturing Superman on Apokolips after he was brought to him due the Harvesting Command Towers on Earth not having the right equipment to deal with Kryptonian physiology.  He expresses his pleasure at repeatedly cutting Superman's flesh, but is reprimanded by Steppenwolf as feeling pleasure was considered to be forbidden on Apokolips. Steppenwolf tells him that Superman was not there for his personal amusement, but was the going to be the new breed of soldier for Darkseid's army in conquest and the search for Darkseid's daughter. Desaad comments on the fact that Darkseid won't stop until she was located and retrieved and Steppenwolf tells him that they won't either. He has Superman trapped, using his powers to torture him.

Later when Cyborg remotely triggers the Mother Boxes on Earth, Desaad and Steppenwolf's are also activated and create Boom Tubes. Desaad is confused and scared, (still holding a knife he was using on Superman) and shouts that they are under attack. He orders Steppenwolf to secure Superman, but before they can do anything else they are sent through a boom tube, where they trapped on Earth 2 with no way to get back to Earth.
