Well, I just got out of the theatre after seeing Avengers: Endgame, and I have to say, it deserves the praise it's getting. It was a perfect ending for so many characters- Captain America, Iron Man, Thor- but perhaps none moreso than the film's villain, and the big bad of the entire MCU thus far, Darkseid. I think it's safe to say that the tyrant of Apokolips will become one of the most iconic villains in film history, right up there with characters like Darth Vader and Blofeld. But that got me thinking; apparently, Jack Kirby almost left Marvel in 1970 because they didn't want to publish his stories about the New Gods; they changed their minds at the last minute. But what if they hadn't? How would the world of entertainment change if characters like Darkseid and Orion went to DC Comics, along with Jack Kirby himself?
