Description

Orion is a New God created by Jack Kirby, first appearing in New Gods #1 in 1971. Born the son of Darkseid, the ruler of Apokolips, he was traded to the peaceful world New Genesis as part of a truce between the two worlds. Raised among the New Gods of New Genesis, Orion channels the Astro Force through combat while struggling to master the Apokoliptian rage of his heritage, making him one of DC's most powerful warrior figures.
