Powers and Abilities:

 As son of Darkseid, Orion has inherited his father's great strength and ferocity. Once Orion had engaged himself in combat, he will not cease until the battle has ended or his foe has fallen. In addition, Orion's Astro-Glider permits him flight through space or atmosphere, in addition to focusing formidable energy blasts.

Background:

The petty concerns of frivolous mortals are less than worthless of Orion. True, Highfather himself assigned Orion to protect Earth. But has not the Dog of War wasted enough time repeatedly saving this overrated mudball whilst the legion of Darkseid swarm and multiply and prepare to lay their foul claws on the very fabric of the universal hyper-reality itself? Now he must suffer the irksome company of these meagerly empowered "JLA" monads even while Darkseid defies all the Greater Powers of Time and Space. But, though he is the son of treacherous Darkseid, Orion remains true to his duty as Earth's new defender. Hour by hour, his Mother Box computer works to suppress Orion's lust for battle for which he was born to lead, and to fight.

Notes:

  • Exchanged with the son of Highfather to cement peace between New Genesis and Apokolips, Orion was schooled in the benevolent ideals of his adoptive home. As an adult, Orion would become his true father's greatest foe.

  • Orion tempers his rage with the aid of his own sentient computer, Mother Box.

  • Orion's great ferocity is both a blessing and a curse. Senior JLA member Aquaman has promised to lodge a formal complaint against the New God recruit for plunging headlong into battle with the Star Conqueror, a wanton disregard for fellow JLA member's orders and safety of others.

  • Orion does not tolerate idle "small-talk"
