Steppenwolf is a fictional supervillain published by DC Comics. He first appeared in New Gods vol. 1 #7 (February 1972), and was created by Jack Kirby.
[edit] Fictional character biography
As one of the New Gods, Steppenwolf is the brother of Heggra, and the uncle of Uxas (Darkseid). He is also and a member of Darkseid's Elite. He leads the military of Apokolips and also rides a hover bike which may be at the same level of technology as Orion's. He apparently died in a spaceship in the third issue of the 1986-1987 limited series Legends. However, he has recently been seen fighting The Flash (Bart Allen) and the Justice League of America in The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #9.
[edit] Other Media
- Steppenwolf was seen in the Superman: The Animated Series episode Apokolips Now, voiced by Sherman Howard. He led a horde of Parademons against the city of Metropolis in his search for Superman. Steppenwolf's aircraft was then shot down by Dan Turpin, (piloting an Army chopper) and fell into the ocean. This was Steppenwolf's final appearance.
- Steppenwolf reappeared briefly in Part I of the Justice League episode Twilight, voiced by Corey Burton. Retreating from an aborted invasion of New Genesis, Steppenwolf's ship was crippled and teleported, via Boom Tube, right into Darkseid's stronghold. Steppenwolf was presumably killed.
