Orion; Mortalla; Lightray; Meteorra [revealed to be Justeen]; Gedirath
Synopsis
Orion subjugates the attacking army of New Genesis using the Anti-Life Equation and learns that Meteorra is really Justeen, seeking revenge for the death of Darkseid. He then takes Lightray, Justeen, and Mortalla with him to confront the approaching Gedirath, realizing that only Darkseid could have commanded the Promethean Giant, and therefore Darkseid still lives.
Still concealed in Pythia's Garden of Hope, Darkseid and Metron observe Orion's actions. Darkseid creates a duplicate of the Black Racer to send against Orion.
