by Bruce Thomas. DeSaad is shown informing Darkseid of the Mother Box used by Cyborg and in charge of the process that transforms other captured species into Parademons. He is later killed by a mind-controlled Superman who was captured and underwent the process but was stopped by Batman and Superman's will. An alternative universe version of DeSaad makes a non-speaking cameo appearance in Justice League: Gods and Monsters. DeSaad appears in Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League, voiced by James Arnold Taylor. Live action Television DeSaad appears in the final season of Smallville as one of Darkseid's minions, portrayed by Steve Byers. He owns a string of fetish clubs known as "Club DeSaad". DeSaad first appears in the episode "Abandoned" alongside Darkseid's other minions, Gordon Godfrey and Granny Goodness, where they discuss their plan to prepare Earth for Darkseid's arrival and how to serve their master: Granny wipes the people's minds, DeSaad binds the people's bodies, and Gordon breaks the people's spirits.

He battles Clark Kent and Oliver Queen and is temporarily subdued and committed to Belle Reve, although he still manages to bring Oliver under Darkseid's influence. Later in the season, DeSaad again teams up with Godfrey and Granny Goodness to give Oliver Queen a Gold Kryptonite wedding ring in hopes of taking Clark's powers away forever, but Clark manages to remove Darkseid's influence from Oliver.
