* More Steppenwolf goodness: He freaking ''catches a missile fired by the Nightcrawler'' like it was a baseball. Also a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.

** As well as being a BloodKnight, Steppenwolf is also a total creep. He mentions that he wants to turn Themyscira into his own personal harem and that Hippolyta will "love him", just like all other Amazons. On the other hand, its possible to interpret his lines in a different context: since he is able to turn normal humans into his loyal Parademons and he intends to the same with them, they will "love him" which isn't much better.
* We also see his invasion of Earth from a previous time as he nearly decimates the army with his electro-axe and it's clear that even with the Amazons' help, they won just barely.

* From the perspective of the characters, Steppenwolf is the BigBad of the entire universe. His ''"For Darkseid"'' line is a big hint that he's just a lackey for someone much worse.

** [[spoiler: In the movie it becomes even more horrifying as Steppenwolf actually violently snaps the neck of a female scientist who also said she had a family.]]

* [[spoiler: Superman is...less than happy at being brought back to life initially, and when he first encounters the League he isn't holding back anything.]]
** [[spoiler: This is especially true when he fights Barry. Since he can keep up with him, he's ''definitely'' using his full strength, and if one of his punches actually landed Barry would likely be killed instantly from the force.]]
** [[spoiler: Worst of all, it's shown that he hasn't forgiven Bruce for his actions yet, or has LaserGuidedAmnesia that made him forget what Bruce did for him (saving his mother and helping him kill Doomsday). And when he sees him after his resurrection, he is ready to crush his jaw.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Superman''': You won't let me live. You won't let me die! [[IronicEcho Tell me...]]'''[[IronicEcho do you bleed]]'''?]]
* The parademons pick their prey based on how scared they are. [[spoiler: When Steppenwolf has his axe destroyed, he begins to feel fear and the parademons circle him. The realisation that he's now all alone makes Steppenwolf even more afraid and the parademons pounce on him.]]
** And if that isn't enough [[spoiler: before Steppenwolf can be torn apart by the parademons, a boom tube whisks him away to Apokolips. An act of mercy from Darkseid? Unlikely, given how he usually treats failure. Him sparing Steppenwolf likely means he has something much [[AFateWorseThanDeath worse than death in store for him]].]]
* The [[TheStinger post-credits scene]]: [[spoiler: A guard at Arkham Asylum approaches Lex Luthor's cell, only to find that he's been switched out with a very unhinged looking inmate. Lex Luthor's out and he's up to something. By up to something we mean recruiting [[ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} Deathstroke]] and starting the Legion of Doom.]]

* Steppenwolf isn’t only powerful but incredibly cruel when a security guard begs him not to kill him and the others because they have families he responds with this:

** [[spoiler: Worst of all, it's shown that he hasn't forgiven Bruce for his actions yet. And when he sees him after his resurrection, he is ready to crush his jaw.]]

* We see Steppenwolf in action as he dominates Aquaman and Wonder Woman in separate instances.

** Humans from this distant past were turned into Parademons. And it's horrific.
* Steppenwolf isn’t only powerful but incredibly cruel when a security guard begs him not to kill him and the others because they have families he responds with this:
-->'''Steppenwolf''': ''(in a bored tone)'' Why does everyone keep telling me that?
* [[SarcasmMode Did we not mention Steppenwolf yet?]] Well, according to one of the TV spots, he apparently fought Zeus in the ancient past. Whether he won or lost is irrelevant, but what does this say about Darkseid?
