As the ruthless tyrant of Apokolips, Darkseid is one of the Justice League and DC Universe’s strongest foes, but his son Orion has far surpassed him in incredible feats of strength. Orion quickly rose to become one of New Genesis’ most capable New Gods with his Astro-Force abilities, a power that allows him to tap into the source and manipulate matter itself. Orion is more than capable of going toe-to-toe with his father; during Countdown to Final Crisis, Orion defeated Darkseid by tapping into his Astro-Force and ripping out his father’s heart.
