First
child to one of Darkseid's special breeders, Barda was stolen from her
mother and placed into a matrix of generation, prepared to become a
powerful warrior. She was born with extreme strength and grew up to an
astonishing height, being chosen to lead the Female Furies, one of
Apokolips' best combat teams.
However, she made friends
and eventually fell in love with Scott Free, who was not happy living in
Apokolips, so she helped him to escape, and some time later followed him
to earth and married him. As Scott worked in a
circus, she also joined it as 'the strongest woman in the world', but she
wanted an ordinary life with her husband and so, they both left to live in
a small town, where Scott arranged a shop to work. However, getting rid of
their superheroic activities was not so easy, so they finished traveling
to New Genesis,
where they live nowadays, after her mother joined them. Although she's very
bad-tempered, sometimes she can be very naive, once being fooled into
helping as a terrorist against an organization which experimented on
animals. As Scott was on a promotional tour, she got into major troubles
and finished in jail, hearing there about her husband's supposed death
(of course, it wasn't true), but got free some time later with the help of
their neighbors to find out Scott was alive. Aside from her
strength, Barda uses a mega-rod, capable of manipulating enormous
quantities of energy, and even opening a boom-tube, a gateway through
dimensions. It seems that she's the only one able to use the rod without
losing her life energy to it. Following the JLA's defeat of Mageddon, Barda
& Orion were released from their service in
the JLA by Highfather Notes:
