Limitation: Catastrophic Irrational Attraction to inflicting pain. When Desaad makes his Reason feat roll for building an item, the tech level is shifted one column to the right as he always designs an item or weapon in a way that will cause the most pain.

HAPPY LAND

Desaad runs a mock amusement park that is actually a prison for his victims. Visitors look upon his victims without realizing their true nature, due to an IN rank illusion. After a while, the visitors begin to take a psycholgical toll upon the prisoners. After each week of imprisonment, the victims undergo a EX intensity mental attack. If cumulative damage ever equals twice the victim's Psyche, they go mad.

Powers: Desaad is a brilliant inventor of weapons and a master torturer.

History: Desaad was an inventor of Apokolips who specialized in the invention of torture devices. Desaad took a perverse pleasure in using Apokolips technology to experience the emotions of his victims, and he soon caught the attention of young Darkseid, who came to appreciate his macabre sense of humor. Queen Heggra of Apokolips disapproved of her son Darkseid courting the sorceress Suli, so she hired Desaad to poison the girl. Darkseid was infuriated, but he remained Desaads' friend after the madman killed Heggra, making Darkseid the rightful ruler of Apokolips. Desaad acted as Darkseid's right hand man during the wars between Apokolips and New Genesis. Desaad was also put in charge of brainwashing new recruits into Darkseid's armies.

Desaad is a snake at heart, and has betrayed his friend Darkseid many times, even impersonating Darkseid for his own gains. Darkseid has severely punished him, even killing him with the Omega Effect on a few occasions. Darkseid always relents; restoring Desaad to life and his former position. The friendship of Darkseid and Desaad is a twisted one, the full depths of which are difficult to understand.

Planetary Absorption

Khan may absorb the life from every living being on a planet. He can actually draw the energy out of a world, leaving it a smoldering husk.

It takes eight minutes to finish this attack, during which all he can do is stand still and make feat rolls.
