The Gods of New Genesis

             

The New Gods use teleportational technology invented by Metron with the help of the so-called X-Element, which was discovered by Himon. Metron bartered for the X-Element and in exchange created the Boom Tube for Darkseid. Metron used the technology to created fantastic Mobius Chair and to create the "Boom Tubes" for Darkseid. Darkseid eventually used Boom Tubes to launch his attack on New Genesis. The technology is also used by New Genesis and is installed on various devices, such as the Mother Box. This powerful sentient computer is created by and attuned to one or more individuals. Usually these people must be properly spiritually enlightened in regards to the Source, the font of all life. Mother Boxes can initiate teleportation, as can devices like Big Barda's Megarod.

At various times, Mister Miracle, Barda, Orion and Lightray have all served with the Justice League.

In another timeline (regarded as Earth-22 in post-Infinite Crisis continuity), Highfather became a member of the so-called Quintessence, a group of immortals. (Kingdom Come #3, The Kingdom #1-2, New Year's Evil: Gog #1)

List of Gods

All of the New Gods were culled by the Source in Death of the New Gods. Without corporeal forms, they were weak and the major characters reappeared as avatars on Earth through human hosts, in Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle (2006). The gods of New Genesis were fully recreated in Final Crisis #6 (2009), and reside on Earth-51 (only a handful of them appeared in-panel).

The Old Gods of Asgard + The Promethean Giants

"There came a time when the Old Gods died!"

The opening line to Jack Kirby's stunted epic

Metron encounters the edge of known space, finds old giants corpses. The Promethean Galaxy and its Giants. One tried to engulf the barrier by enlarging his own atomic structure and failed. are imprisoned Lincoln's superior is Sgt. Dan "Terrible" Turpin. Orion is caught by Slig's giant clam. He mutates sea life to his whim. Orion frees himself with the Astro Force via his wrist circuits and witnesses the Deeps Six's humongous ship. Human describes Darkseid as "blue granite." Kalibak comes to Earth. Orion attacks Slig, there's a Mother Box in his helmet that Orion "kills", then Slig himself. The joy turns Orion's face to normal. The Glory Boat surfaces. Pinup of Kirby at his drawing board. Young Gods of Supertown feat. Fastbak who uses Aero-Pads expertly. He is summoned to sing for HF, he's known for his voice. New Gods #5

Beam of light stabbed the Source Wall left it charred. HF lost power in his staff. Describes the Source "cosmic force" "essence of life" the Life Equation exists beyond the final barrier beyond the Promethean Galaxy graveyard of gods who sought the secrets then frozen and enlargedas sentries. Darkseid readies his most massive Boom Tube ever sending four beams out to send his army to Earth for the humans. Brola and Bane (with a fin on his helmet) are two other commanders. Orion has sequestered the remaining four and they're attacked fully at the Project. Metron takes out Bane, Jez Brola, Orion Kalibak, Lightray Titan. They're defeated but the humans disappear... they'd been fighting decoys. "we never said the New Gods are gods— they've just started to call themselves that becasue that's how the humans refer to them. Nowhere in any ofo ur issues (or Jack's) is there an implication that they are in any way a theological God." (#18)

Yuga Khan saga 1: billed as new era. Lar Gand happens on the world of Velos just as a Yuga Khan awakens and frees itself, among the other Prometheans. It touches down on the isolated world and absorbs all life, destroys the planet. HF dreams of Avia dying again. Commander named Gideon, they continue to argue over war preparations. On Earth, Orion argues wtih cops who are tired of super heroes. Deep Six cameo. Yuga Khan is free, and it's sensed by the Lump and other gods. Darkseid talks to Necromima who seeks control over death, obsessed witht he Dreggs. He wants her to capture Orion with the Mortis Mark grafted to her with teh Dead Sealer. Its power is so great he must graft it to a person, it's embedded into her palm. Darkseid commands two scientists to kill each other for disrespecting him. His Omega power hesitates and he know his father is free. (New Gods v.3 #17)

Yuga Khan saga 3: Metron surveys the Prometheans, recallsYuga Khan's history as first leader of Apokolips, supreme conqueror. Orion is brought to Apokolips and Necronima demands her reward, the land of the Dreggs and he cedes it to her for her showing respect for him more than fear. Black Racer arrives for Lanza, child of the Depression who once encountered Green Lantern. Once he is gone Darkseid senses power that he hopes will be of use against Yuga Khan. Lar Gand follows Khan's genocide. HF tells Metron of his friend Lazer, curious about the fate of the Old Gods and were approached by Yuga Khan who craved ultimate knowledge and power. He knows his own power may only be surpassed by his son, whom he cannot kill. He later tried to breach the Source and was entombed, the last to gtry. The Source Wall tells HF "to know everything is to know how much is not known." Khna comes to Apokolips snuffing out the fire pits and crashing into Darkseid's lair and binds his son. (#19)

Orion goes in search of Valkyra, her complex is in ruins. He's grabbed by a giant metal hand and a whole giant formed from the rubble. He dives into its mouth and finds Valkyra inside, held in stasis and released her. It was a weapon, relic of the Old Gods unearthed in the upheaval. Lonar's battle horse was found the same way. They recall their past and Orion kisses her, no longer teacher and pupil. Dreamer sensed it, a sign of spring. Scott prepares to become the new leader of New Genesis, in coronation robes, he is not happy. Scott always knew there was more to his life than becmoing a lowly dog soldier. He suffered on Apokolips double the others. Approached by Metron began appearing to him in secret. Now he abdicates and tells Takion to take over as leader. Metron and Desaad witness the bonds of the Promethean Giants, now empty. They are partnered in search of truth. Rome, 1502: Iluthin arrives with news of the Orsinis' plot against the Borgias. Borgia is victorious and apparently grants Iluthin the hand of Claudia. He has proven very valuable in martial arts, politics, loyalty. At their wedding, Kanto 13 Booms in and they square off with sword and rod. 13 knows he is defeated and retreats but leaves a bomb that kills Claudia. (Jack Kirby's Fourth World #11)

The planet of the Second World was massive planet, Asgard, larger as power grew, a scale incomprehensible to our minds. Takion resists the affections of Dreamer because he doesnt know if his feelings are real or sensory overload. She gives him an illusion of humanity again. They both sense a tremor in the universe as Metron and Desaad encounter the Promethean Giant, Prodigan. Metron addresses him and he wakes for the first time in eons, but a passing moment for him. Metron must make an illusion to seem larger. Another nameless one approaches, secretive cloaked, Metron remarks on his slow metabolism, similar to Promethean. On Vendaricar, of red sun system, massive gravity the Draman Radamanan have religion based around the Prometheans who have departed, they fear the end. Iluthin leaves Earth sickened by Claudia's death and sets immediately about vengeance on Kanto 13. His skills built on Earth and enhanced his uniform to give him the upper hand. But poison kills Kanto 13. Darkseid approaches and kills 13, installing Iluthin as his master assassin, taking the traditional name but no need for a number. D advises growing a mustache to mitigate his youth in the court. Letter column: "Yuga Khan is gone." (#13)
