  Apokolips - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apokolips is an ecumenopolis with burning firepits that exists in between dimensions, occupying a 'frequency' somewhere between the physical universe and Hell.
Apokoliptian technology is furthermore the source of unparalleled misery in the universe as the planet routinely arms evil groups with advanced technology in order to further its influence (and misery) across the universe.
Apokolips is ruled by Darkseid as its theocratic god/despot but he defers most of the actual day to day ruling to his counsellor Desaad.

 He-Man.org Forums - What's up with Eternian technology?
I know technology is supposed to be scarce, but c'mon the guy has robots, an automated factory, and huge airships while his subjects (the village folk) look like they're living in medieval times.
Technology will be there to help the injured, but it can also be expensive, so not all the farm-folk may have the opportunity to use some high-tech gadgets.
I don;t think most Eternians see technology as a luxury, they only see it and use it when it is necessary.

 Desaad
History: Desaad was a native of Apokolips who specialized in the invention of torture devices.
Desaad took a perverse pleasure in using Apokolips technology to experience the emotions of his victims, and he soon caught the attention of young Darkseid, who came to appreciate his macabre sense of humor.
The ensuing conflict was put to a halt when Darkseid animated a statue and warned his underlings that they would be punished for their in-fighting when he escaped his present captivity in the Source.

 Lex Corp vs Wayne Enterprises vs Stark Enterprises
They are competing for a deal, and thus have to either provide the very best technology or provide satisfactory technology at the lowest prize (in most government deals it is actually the lowest bidder that gets the deal, but let us assume that in KMC only the best company nabs the prize).
They are heavy into technology, and they are not just cutting edge but bleeding edge (and at ridiculous levels.....eg Bruce had control over his own personal satellites).
Tony is a genius in technology, and thus when it comes to deals it can definitely provide top level tech.

Dyer construct a superb look at Apokolips technology the linchpin of the plot and shows that these gods are not just a different look at the same old monster archetypes but truly unique.

The writers here show that Livewire in her entirety is merely a component to Darkseid's weapon--something that would give the Guns of Navarone ammunition envy.

 IGN: Superman: Shadow of Apokolips Preview
For those not quite versed in the niceties of the DC comicbook universe, far out in space lies the hell-planet Apokolips, ruled by the ultimate evil, Darkseid.
Even Lex Luthor, who could probably take "Evil of the Year" for the greater Metropolis area, is only evil enough to serve as one of his minor tools, which is how the game's story is set into motion.
Darkseid, via his assassin Kanto, makes a few indirectly opportune gifts of technology to the fine people of LexCorp R&D. This translates into Apokoliptian weaponry in the hands of Luthor's agents, as well as the Kryptonite-powered villain Metallo, happily coinciding with the completion of Luthor's "Inter-Bot" robot army.
