History Characters / NewGodsApokolips

* CombatSadomasochist: He became one of these while he possessed ComicBook/MaryMarvel. He seemed to get off on ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} striking her, and started to blatantly [[FoeRomanceSubtext come on to her]] the more Supergirl fought.

* MindControl: Not often used, but he's capable of these and can use it to make people his PeoplePuppets from galaxies away or casually cause MindRape for his amusement.

* BladeOnAStick: His signature Lance, which is fitting for a hunter.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Most of them represent specific concepts. Darkseid is the God of Tyranny, [=DeSaad=] is the God of Torture, and Granny Goodness is the God of Child Abuse.

* SafeSaneAndConsensual: Averted.

* WhipItGood: Metallic whips.

%%* FiveManBand:
%%** BigBad: Darkseid
%%** TheDragon: Granny Goodness
%%** TheBrute: Kalibak
%%** EvilGenius: Desaad
%%** DarkChick: Kanto or Glorious Godfrey

* LegFocus One issue of ''ComicBook/Superboy1994'' opened with a SplashPanel of just her legs as she danced.

* VillainousFriendship: Speaking of the Joker, Harriet met and even befriended ComicBook/HarleyQuinn during a mission to Earth. Stompa scolded her for it.

* BadSamaritan: Runs orphanages... [[OrphanageOfFear for horrible purposes]].
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Commonly treated as a joke by comic fans, Granny Goodness has the best track record of not getting her butt kicked by super-heroes and the New Gods, ''and'' commits acts of brainwashing and horrific abuse without any consequences '''[[WouldHurtAChild upon]] [[HarmfulToMinors children]]''' 24/7 on Apokolips. Truth is, she's only silly if you've never [[NightmareFuel actually read a story about her.]]

* IWasQuiteALooker: [[http://i.imgur.com/FOMFuXM.jpg She used to be an extremely in shape bald woman who could rock a skintight outfit]]. In her present appearance age has definitely taken its toll, although oddly her hair has grown back.
* NeverMessWithGranny: Seriously, not unless you have a small army of badasses backing you up, due to being one of Darkseid's most feared shock troopers. [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Though in Kirby's original stories]], she is a NonActionGuy and relies entirely on weapons provided by Darkseid and the graduates of her "orphanages." When she chooses to actually fight she's quite dangerous to any experienced BadassNormal, having once casually reflected bullets fired from a {{BFG}} at close range by Amanda Waller and nearly killing her outright.

In ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'', Kalibak first possessed a human thug; after his host died, Darkseid's scientists created a bestial tiger-man body for him to inhabit. He was killed in combat by [[Characters/{{Shazam}} Talky Tawny]].

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: She's suspiciously similar to Marvel's ComicBook/{{Gamora}}, the badass evil daughter of Thanos, who is Darkseid's AlternateCompanyEquivalent. Grail happened to be created around the same time Gamora became more popular due to the ''[[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU]]''.

* AnAxeToGrind: He wields an "electro-axe" as his weapon of choice

* AdaptationalNameChange: In the ''New 52,'' Yuga Khan is an alias, and his real name is Zonuz.

* WeaponOfChoice: The Beta Club.

* ShesGotLegs: Often leaves her legs bare, and they often get plenty of MaleGaze. One issue of ''ComicBook/Superboy1994'' opened with a SplashPanel of just her legs as she danced.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes tend to flash red when she's being malicious

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Possibly. When Yuga Khan confronts Desaad over the fact [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he poisoned his wife]], Desaad tries to save his own skin by giving the excuse [[JustFollowingOrders he was only obeying Darkseid]] [[NeverMyFault and is not responsible for his own actions]]. Yuga Khan agrees, then blasts him into oblivion. While this is primarily revenge, the way he phrases it ("then both I and the universe are better of without you") implies he's also genuinely disgusted by Desaad.

* PhysicalGod: The New Gods

* BadassDecay: When she was introduced, she managed to defeat several members of the Justice League by herself. At the start of ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' she wasn't as powerful, but still a threat that was capable of killing Zeus's children in single combat and was a match for Diana in combat. But during the "Return of the Amazons" arc in she's effortlessly defeated by Diana in single combat and gravely injured when shot in the leg with a normal arrow by Nubia.

* BlackCloak: Wears one, although the color varies depending on the portrayal but most often its a shade anywhere from a dark purple to a bright magenta.

* KillItWithFire: What her weapon does.
* KnifeNut: Her Fahren-Knife causes anything it cuts to burst into flames.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Wears it.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit has AbsoluteCleavage and a distinct VaporWear.

* AnAxeToGrind: He wields an "electro-axe" as his WeaponOfChoice

%%* LightEmUp

* HateSink: '''No One''' likes Desaad. Darkseid and even his eviler father Yuga Khan constantly voice how awful a person Desaad is and many make no attempt to avoid disrespecting him in his presence. While Darkseid is just as if not more evil he still has enough charisma and grandeur to make him a likable villain, while Desaad is just a spineless and arrogant {{Sadist}} nobody respects.

* BadSamaritan: Runs orphanages... [[OrphanageOfFear for horrible purposes.]]

* CoDragons: Alongside Steppenwolf. While Darkseid technically ''doesn't'' have a second in command or even really needs it, Granny is more often than not portrayed as one of Darkseid's most competent, [[TheChessmaster intelligent]] and most dangerous follower, as well as alongside Steppenwolf being one of Darkseid's elite who is most often in his good graces....as much as someone like [[GodOfEvil Darkseid]] can have good graces. While Mantis is technically the second strongest member in Darkseid's inner circle, he's too much TheStarscream to be trusted in such position while Granny's UndyingLoyalty is 100% impossible to deny. While Steppenwolf comes as Darkseid's top warrior and most skilled general, Granny being the one responsible for the [[DarkActionGirl Female]] [[BodyguardBabes Furies]] as well as being one of Apokolips's most cunning members is also incredebly impressive.
* CombatSadomasochist

* NiceHat: Has one which he has kept since his days in Renaissance Italy.

* PuttingOnTheReich: According to Creator/JackKirby, Darkseid and his forces were intended to be [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazis]] turned UpToEleven.

* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Her father is a New God and her mother is an Amazon woman from Earth, and she has the PhysicalGod powers of any of the New Gods.

%%* BastardBastard

* HateSink: '''No One''' likes Desaad. Darkseid and even his eviler father Yuga Khan constantly voice how awful a person Desaad is and many make no attempt to avoid disrespecting him in his presence.
