Steppenwolf (The New 52)

First Appearance: Justice League (2011) #6-  Justice League Part Six

Steppenwolf is a high ranking member of Darkseid's army, who was a member of the Apokolips invasion force. 

When Batman goes to Apokolips to in order to rescue Superman, Steppenwolf is present while Desaad is taking pleasure in cutting Superman's flesh for experamentation. He tells Desaad not to acknowledge emotions as they are forbidden and that he was not brought to Apokolips for Desaad, but as a new breed of war in Darkseid's hunt for his daughter. Desaad mentions that Darkseid will not stop his search and Steppenwolf tells him that they shouldn't either, raising a "All hail Darkseid."

When Cyborg activates all of the Mother Boxes on Earth, it also remotly activates Desaad's and Steppenwolf's, creating a boom tube that sends him to Earth 2.

In Earth 2 #1-  Steppenwolf arrives via Boom Tube to Metropolis behind Wonder Woman. Superman tries to warn her, but before he can Steppenwolf impails her through the stomach with the blade of his sword. He watches as a swarm of Parademons surrounds him and causes a massive explosion that kills themselves and him, calmly stating that Superman won't kill him after he threatened just seconds before his death. 

After Batman destroyed the Apokoliptian Command Towers with his computer virus, Steppenwolf was again trapped and forced to go into hiding while he plotted.
