DC Infinite

DC Infinite is an imprint created by DC Comics used to compete with Marvel's Ultimate universe, sharing many of the same qualities with it, including the fact all the comics are set in a parallel universe to the main DC earth.

 * Uxas, the youngest son of Yuga Khan's, is found with the dead body of his mate, Suli, who he admits to murdering.
 * The quickly deteriorating Uxas makes friends with his father's advisor, DeSaad, and overthrows his father, waging war on New Genesis under the new name Darkseid.
 * At the recommendation of the New God Metron, Highfather and Darkseid trade their sons to stop the war, as neither side could attack the other without risking their own child.

Trivia

 * Some of the characters have been redesigned.
 * The biggest change is that Harvey Dent is African-American and is modeled after the actor Billy Dee Williams, who played Dent in the original Tim Burton Batman movie.
 * Much like the actual Riddler, Michael has a name pun, as in the series he is often referred to as "Mr. Tree" which sounds like "mystery".
