Yuga Khan was the former patriarch of Apokolips and its first ruler. Wanting absolute knowledge and absolute power, Yuga Khan, despite the warnings of Izaya, attempted to breach the very barrier of the Source Wall but failed as the barriers were too strong even for his power. As a result of his hubris, Yuga Khan became one of the Celestial Giants trapped in the Promethean Galaxy as a helpless captive for countless thousands of years. Meanwhile, his son, Darkseid, took control of Apokolips.
After eons of effort, Yuga Khan finally broke his bonds. He consumed countless worlds to regain his power and reclaimed Apokolips from his son. Again he turned his attention to the Source, and again ignored the warnings of Izaya. Khan transformed himself into primal energy to enter the Source, but he was unsuccessful and was imprisoned once again.
