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. Due to this, there are quite a few differences from the regular DC universe, ranging from very small to large.

Before Humanity

 * The Old Gods create a planet known as Genesis and populate it.
 * The Old Gods begin to lose interest in their own creations, starting to toy with them.
 * A man from Genesis, known as Izaya, overthrows the Old Gods and becomes the Highfather, renaming the planet New Genesis.
 * Highfather is attacked by a man named Yuga Khan, who is thrown to the Old Gods' old planet as punishment, as well as everyone who followed him.
 * Yuga Khan renames the planet Apokolips and begins to populate it. Yuga Khan and his mate Heggra have many sons and daughters.
 * 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.
