Steppenwolf is an ancient and powerful New God from Apokolips, serving as the herald to his nephew Darkseid, and leader of Apokolips's army of Parademons.

Ordered by his nephew the superior Darkseid to invade Earth thousands of years before the Battle of Metropolis, Steppenwolf and his vast army of Parademons attempted to conquer the planet but were forced into retreat by the combined arms of the Humans, Amazons and Atlanteans, losing 3 Mother Boxes with him. Subsequently exiled from his people, the New Gods, Steppenwolf returned to Earth 30,000 years later in search for the lost Mother Boxes after the death of Superman at the hands of Doomsday. Steppenwolf waged war against Earth's first line of defense, the Justice League, but was defeated during their final battle by a recently resurrected Superman. Attacked by his own army of Parademons, Steppenwolf's fate was left unknown.
