Yuga Khan is a DC Comics supervillain. He first appeared in New Gods volume 2 #17 (June 1990). Khan was former patriarch of Apokolips, whose misguided attempt to unravel the unknowable mystery of the Source left him a helpless captive for countless thousands of years. Yuga Khan's wife Heggra later died by the hand of their son Darkseid, who took control of Apokolips himself. Using his planet-rending powers, Khan eventually freed himself; he then returned to Apokolips where he easily overthrew his son Darkseid from the throne - until he was reclaimed by the Source in the Promethean Galaxy.
