The chain of fast food restaurants Jack in the Box ran their DC Super Heroes promotion in 1999. Figures included in the Jack's kids meals were: Superman, Darkseid, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Batman. All figures were based in the Superman animated style, also promoting the tv series.
Superman and Clark Kent came in the now classic phone booth with a quick change action. Superman usually stores his Clark Kent clothing shrunken down inside a secret pouch hidden inside of his cape, though some stories have shown him leaving his clothes in some covert location (usually places like phone booths) for later retrieval.
Darkseid's action consisted in pressing the button on his back to illuminate his eyes, creating the infamous Omega Effect; which is a form of energy that he fires from his eyes as either concussive force or beams of disintegration, capable of transmuting or erasing most objects and organisms from existence as well as to reform or resurrect them. Anything Darkseid disintegrates with the Omega Effect can be brought back at any time by him, and he often uses this as a form of punishment.
