Parademons are winged soldiers used by Darkseid as his main shock troops.
Physical appearance[]
Parademons are tall, winged humanoids with heavily built and imposing figures. They have three digits on each hand, which are also clawed. They are clad head to toe in golden armor, with helmets that have hornlike protrusions that cover most of their heads save for the mouth, exposing their sharp teeth. Their armor has numerous glowing red highlights, including an omega at the center of the chest.[1]
They have a pair of ribbed wings on their backs, which they can retract seemlessly in a flash of light.[2]
They are also noted for their strong, foul stench.[3]
History[]

Darkseid brought an army of Parademons to conquer Earth. They easily defeated the forces of Genghis Khan, but not before Khan impressed Darkseid enough that he agreed to an alliance with Khan.[4]
