Apokoliptians

Apokoliptians are a fictional alien race featured in comic books published by DC Comics. They are part of the "Fourth World" mythos created by writer & artist Jack Kirby. They first appeared in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #134 in December, 1970.

Abilities
The beings of Apokalips call themselves gods and live in a realm called the Fourth World which exists outside normal space and time. Their strength is due to their relative proximity to the Source, an energy which fuels the powers of the beings on Apokalips. This power also accounts for a New God's immortality.
 * Superhuman strength: Apokoliptians are veritable Gods when it comes to their physical biology, and as such, they possesses a strength level many times greater than a normal human being.
 * Superhuman speed: An Apokoliptian's enhanced physical characteristics, including strength and stamina, also enable them move in speeds in excess to that of a normal human. Some may have a specialty in their biology that allows them to move more quickly than others of their race.
 * Superhuman stamina: Apokoliptians can operate on a physical level for expanded periods of time without undue stress of fatigue.
 * Enhanced senses: As a New God, an Apokoliptian's five senses are elevated to superhuman levels.
 * Superhuman durability: Apokoliptians are resistant to most forms of energy and physical attacks.
 * Immortality: Apokoliptians have an extended lifespan which allows them to exist indefinitely. They age physically to a certain point, after which, the aging process is greatly reduced.
 * Toxic immunity: Apokoliptians have an advanced immune system, which allows them to survive on Apokolips' environment, which is replete with all manner of diseases and toxins, and also grants them immunity to toxins and diseases from other worlds as well.
