To add insult to the injury, if they happened to be allied with Earth or have it under their protection whenever Darkseid decides to attack Earth, chances are they are going to be ''defeated offscreen'' without much of a struggle to explain why they never helped.

->'''AKA:''' Izaya the Inheritor
Ruler of New Genesis. He is Darkseid's good counterpart. As part of the pact between New Genesis and Apokolips, his son, Scott Free, was given as hostage to Darkseid, while Darkseid's son Orion was given to Izaya; Orion became the New Gods' greatest hero, while Scott escaped Apokolips and became a hero as well. Of all the New Gods, Izaya has the closest connection to the Source, which he often consults in times of need.
During ''Comicbook/{{Genesis}}'', Izaya's physical form was killed by the Olympian war-god [[Characters/WonderWoman Ares]], but his spirit lived on inside the Source. He sometimes returned to aid New Genesis by possessing the body of his hand-picked replacement, Takion. After the end of the Fourth World, Izaya incarnated on Earth as a homeless man and led the struggling good gods. Following ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'', he has been resurrected to lead the gods of good in their new home.
* CaptainErsatz: He may or may not have been based on Odin from Marvel's ComicBook/TheMightyThor, as he fills a similar role.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Highfather's appearances in the New 52 continuity (in ''Comicbook/WonderWoman'' and the ''Godhead'' crossover with the ''Comicbook/GreenLantern'' titles) portrayed him as a militaristic WellIntentionedExtremist, what Izaya may have been before his epiphany. (He was actually the BigBad of ''Godhead'', committing atrocities that made Darkseid redundant in the storyline; fortunately he has a HeelRealization before the end.)
* UnwittingPawn: Long ago, Darkseid killed Izaya's wife, but left him alive. The RoaringRampageOfRevenge that ensued caused the death of Darkseid's uncle Steppenwolf, clearing Darkseid's path to gain complete power over Apokolips.

[[quoteright:324:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9f2d9645854d6698c183a3501cf79eae.jpg]]
The Dog of War. The son of Darkseid, but raised on New Genesis as its greatest champion according to the terms of Highfather's peace treaty with Darkseid.
Had his own series in the early 2000s, written and drawn by [[Creator/WaltSimonson Walt Simonson]], which ran for 25 issues, and featured Orion finally confronting his father, ''winning'', and showing what happened next. ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'' begins with Orion [[HarbingerOfImpendingDoom found dying of a bullet wound and foretelling doom with his last words]]; the murder investigation kicks off the story.
----
* CaptainErsatz: He may or may not have been based on Marvel's ComicBook/TheMightyThor as creator Jack Kirby originally envisioned his Fourth World saga as replacing Thor and his fellow Asgardians and he does fill a similar role. Unlike Thor, however, Orion is the foster son of the god of the good guys, while his evil brother Kalibak serves their biological father.
* TheChosenOne: As half of the stories he's appeared in remind the reader, prophecy foretells that Orion will [[SelfMadeOrphan be the one to finally kill his father]].
* FieryRedhead: He has red hair and he despises Darkseid with a passion.
* {{Flanderization}}: Orion in the original comics often tried to prevent his UnstoppableRage and angsted about it. Now is most know for to be TheBerserker.
* GlamourFailure: If he removes his Mother Box. He still looks human without it, just somewhat deformed facially.
* HappilyAdopted: He loves his adopted father with as much intensity as he hates his biological one.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Something notable in the original Kirby comics is that despite all his angsting about himself Orion is genuinely a heroic individual - he makes a point of not letting innocents be harmed in his battles and he only breaks out his UnstoppableRage against those [[PayEvilUntoEvil who really deserve it]].
* HumansAreSpecial: In the DCnU reboot, Orion takes more of a shine to the often hapless powerless mortals of existence and the world they inhabit. Going so far as to state that New God's with all their Quirks and immortality just aren't as fascinating as the mortals of earth.
* InTheBlood: His UnstoppableRage is described as part of his heritage, and is a large source of angst for him. However, Kirby deliberately [[DefiedTrope defied this trope]] on the whole - Orion was raised right by loving parents, and that's what matters.
* PerpetualFrowner: Unless he's fighting; one of the original Kirby comics had him giving a PsychoticSmirk as destroyed a villain's Mother Box.
* RedBaron: The Dog Of War.
* RedIsHeroic: Dresses mostly in a red suit, and despite his anger issues he is undiscutably a good guy.
* ReluctantWarrior: Has some elements of this in the original comics.
* SkySurfing: With his Astro-Harness.
* SueDonym: In his original series, Orion becomes... O'Ryan. (The fact that Orion disguised himself as a human in early issues of Kirby's ''New Gods'' is often forgotten by later writers).
* UnstoppableRage
* WarGod: He's New Genesis' resident God of War.
* WarriorPoet: Also has some elements of this in the original comics. [[DependingOnTheWriter Occasionally he gets this back]].
* WorthyOpponent: It's this reason why Darkseid actually likes(well, respects would be more accurate) Orion the most of his sons
* YoureNotMyFather: Hates Darkseid with every fiber of his being.

New Genesis is the domain of Highfather. It is the polar opposite of Apokolips.

* FantasticRacism: New Genesis has its inhabitants divided between two species: the immortal gods, who live in the city of Supertown, and the "[[InsectoidAliens bug]]", a species who grew from "micro-life" spread on the planet's surface during the Gods' war, and live in "Bug Mound". Predictably, this has led to occasional prejudice between the two, with many of the Gods regarding the Bugs as a lesser species.
* GhibliHills: Much of the landscape.
* {{Heaven}}: The New God equivalent of it, just as Apokolips is the equivalent of Hell.

Ruler of New Genesis. He is Darkseid's good counterpart.

Of all the New Gods, Izaya has the closest connection to the Source, which he often consults in times of need.
During ''Comicbook/{{Genesis}}'', Izaya's physical form was killed by the Olympian war-god [[Characters/WonderWoman Ares]], but his spirit lived on inside the Source. He sometimes returned to aid New Genesis by possessing the body of his hand-picked replacement, Takion.

* FieryRedhead: He has red hair and he despises Darkseid with a passion.
* {{Flanderization}}: Orion in the original comics often tried to prevent his UnstoppableRage and angsted about it. Now is most know for to be TheBerserker.
* GlamourFailure: If he removes his Mother Box. He still looks human without it, just somewhat deformed facially.
* HappilyAdopted: He loves his adopted father with as much intensity as he hates his biological one.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Something notable in the original Kirby comics is that despite all his angsting about himself Orion is genuinely a heroic individual - he makes a point of not letting innocents be harmed in his battles and he only breaks out his UnstoppableRage against those [[PayEvilUntoEvil who really deserve it]].
* HumansAreSpecial: In the DCnU reboot, Orion takes more of a shine to the often hapless powerless mortals of existence and the world they inhabit. Going so far as to state that New God's with all their Quirks and immortality just aren't as fascinating as the mortals of earth.
* InTheBlood: His UnstoppableRage is described as part of his heritage, and is a large source of angst for him. However, Kirby deliberately [[DefiedTrope defied this trope]] on the whole - Orion was raised right by loving parents, and that's what matters.
* PerpetualFrowner: Unless he's fighting; one of the original Kirby comics had him giving a PsychoticSmirk as destroyed a villain's Mother Box.
* RedBaron: The Dog Of War.
* RedIsHeroic: Dresses mostly in a red suit, and despite his anger issues he is undiscutably a good guy.
* ReluctantWarrior: Has some elements of this in the original comics.
* SkySurfing: With his Astro-Harness.
* SueDonym: In his original series, Orion becomes... O'Ryan. (The fact that Orion disguised himself as a human in early issues of Kirby's ''New Gods'' is often forgotten by later writers).
* UnstoppableRage
* WarGod: He's New Genesis' resident God of War.
* WarriorPoet: Also has some elements of this in the original comics. [[DependingOnTheWriter Occasionally he gets this back]].
* WorthyOpponent: It's this reason why Darkseid actually likes(well, respects would be more accurate) Orion the most of his sons
* YoureNotMyFather: Hates Darkseid with every fiber of his being.
