Kalibak Kalibak () is a supervillain appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. He is the eldest son of Darkseid, half-brother of Orion and Grayven, and an enemy of Superman and the Justice League. Created by Jack Kirby, Kalibak first appeared in New Gods #1 (February 1971) in the Silver Age of Comic Books. His name is derived from Caliban, a character from William Shakespeare's The Tempest. Kalibak is the first-born son of Darkseid and Suli. His mother Suli is killed by DeSaad, acting under orders from Kalibak's grandmother Heggra. Kalibak becomes a legendary warrior, and often serves as Darkseid's second-in-command. After Darkseid breaks the pact of peace with New Genesis, the rival planet of Kalibak's home Apokolips, he aids his father in the resulting battles. Kalibak is often pitted against Orion, and after numerous clashes, they learned that they were half-brothers. This fuels Kalibak's hatred of Orion to new levels, for Darkseid clearly respects Orion over his first-born. Kalibak secretly craves the love and respect of his father and has a gentle side which he keeps hidden, as any sign of weakness will be punished. In Death of the New Gods, Kalibak is killed by Infinity-Man. In Final Crisis, Kalibak is reborn alongside his father and Kanto. He later gains a humanoid tiger-like form engineered by Simyan and Mokkari. He leads a regiment of tiger soldiers against the heroes in Blüdhaven, but he is killed in combat with Tawky Tawny. Kalibak is later resurrected following The New 52 continuity reboot. In DC All In, Darkseid kills Kalibak to power the Miracle Machine and harness the Spectre's energy.

Powers and abilities of Kalibak As a New God, Kalibak is nigh-immortal and possesses immense physical abilities. He is armed with a Beta-Club, a weapon that fires debilitating force bolts. He can also summon and use aero-disks which allow him to fly. Kalibak's father once augmented his firstborn's physical abilities and even gave him new ones to aid in acquiring Martin Stein; he was made powerful enough to best his half-brother in a physical battle and discharge psi-beams that function similarly to Darkseid's Omega Beams. Kalibak once harbored 3rd world technology called a Thunderbelt, which vastly augmented his physical strength to the point he could better overcome Orion. However, the Thunderbelt operated more as a control mechanism than an asset designed by DeSaad on behalf of Darkseid himself. Using it was highly addicting and caused excruciating pain whenever it was deactivated remotely.
