'Young Justice: Outsiders': Will Vandal Savage betray Darkseid in the second half of season 3?

Series villains are collaboratively working towards Darkseid's ultimate goal, but the biggest of bad guy in the DC Universe may not have as many loyal subjects as he thinks.

The last two seasons of 'Young Justice' were hailed for introducing some very obscure villains in the DC Universe, but those villains, as we find out in the Season 3, are just small fry compared to the villains to come.

 

We learn that the main baddies, aka the Reach and The Light, work on the base plans of Darkseid's earthly takeover, wherein they help convert humans into mind-controlled metahumans, through kidnappings and their combined technological prowess.

The unsung Leader of The Light, Vandal Savage, is all for the progress of humans into metahumans, but why would such an ancient human -- supposedly the first earthly metahuman being -- give up his home to a formidable conqueror like Darkseid? What could Darkseid possibly offer Vandal, now that Vandal already has control of Warworld?
