The Upside Down Mans profile is pretty empty and with Justice League Dark(2018) having come to a closure I think his profile could use some changes.
The Otherplace/The Great Darkness/Great Evil Beast relationship
So the Otherkind have essentially been connected to the Great Darkness with the Great Darkness being the Otherplace and the original Darkness during Swamp Thing being an escaped sliver of the Otherkinds power and of the Otherplace.
The Great Darkness is the Otherplace
Nabu stating the Great Darkness awakens in the Sphere surrounding the Dark Multiverse.
What exactly is the Otherplace?
It's essentially a realm surrounding the entire Dark Multiverse from where Hecate would reach into and take magic from to give to the Lords of Order.
The Lords of Order snuck into the darkness and stole magic from the Otherkind. And to prevent anyone from harnessing the raw magic, they wrote the first books of magic.
It formed in the Upside Down Mans image which is why he also serves as the reality of the Otherplace.

After Hecate kicked him out of the Multiverse, the Upside Down Man infiltrated and infected the empty void of space with his own reality. Making him the reality of the Otherplace.
Nabu addressing the coming of the Otherkind as the Void of possibility which installed the world with magic coming alive and turning it's gaze upon the world.
The Great Evil Beast/Otherkind relationship
The Darkness that destroyed Zatara during Swamp Thing was only a sliver of the Otherkinds power.
Diana indirectly referring to the Otherkind as the Great Darkness.
Zatanna indirectly referring to The Darkness as the Otherkind.
There's more connections than this but I think this should suffice as the entire storyline is built off the whole Great Darkness event that happened during Swamp Thing.
Upside Down Man Otherkind relationship
The rest of the Otherkind are spawns formed from him.

Extra feats for the Upside Down Man
Reality warping
Warps the Otherplace to pieces.
Said to be capable of tearing down the barriers separating the Multiverse and Dark Multiverse. Which should include Hecate's barrier around the Multiverse and The Source Wall as stated earlier in the story by Jason Blood a the tear in creation at The Source Wall has given the Otherkind a way into the Multiverse.
Has reality itself warping around him and his magic draws from The Source.
Is a threat to all of reality.
Deconstruction
Turns Zatanna to dust.
Combat feats
Takes on Dr Fate and a Full Hecate empowered Wonder Woman simultaneously.

Said to be capable of devouring the most powerful magical being in existence. Which is definitely no bluff as one of Upside Down Mans spawn known as the Soup, one shot The First of The Fallen.
Durability
Tanks Swamp Thing bringing the Green down upon him into the Otherplace and breaks free of his restraints.
(2)
Tanks Kent Nelson and Nabu channeling everything they have into a blast so powerful that it would kill Kent in the process.

The blast was so powerful that the helmet of fate was badly damaged and Nabu could no longer be heard from within it, nor could his powers be accessed. Proving this was definitely one of Nabu’s most powerful unleashes of power ever.
