Orion was a New God and the biological son of Darkseid. However, he was raised by Highfather (while Scott Free was raised by Darkseid) as a part of a truce between Apokolips and New Genesis.
History 
Edit
Orion is the second son of Darkseid and as a child he was traded for Scott Free in a peace effort between New Genesis and Apokolips. Raised as the son of Highfather he was taught to control his rage and anger, becoming the most powerful warrior either world has ever known. This in itself was not an easy task given that his heritage boiled with the rage of the brutal and merciless Darkseid. It is very possible learning how to control his dark nature consumed much of his youth.
When Darkseid set his sights on Earth, Orion came to Superman's aid in defending the planet. Later, after the formation of the Justice League, he joined forces with Superman once again when his father endangered New Genesis.
After the Thanagarian invasion, Orion became a member of the Justice League. He was briefly seen in the battle against AMAZO. He later played a more active role when Flash was beset by his old enemies, and was last seen fighting alongside the rest of the League in the final battle with Darkseid's forces.
Powers and abilities Edit
Fittingly enough for the son of Darkseid, Orion has superhuman strength, durability and stamina. However, based on his fight with Darkseid, he is neither as strong nor as durable as Superman or Darkseid, since the latter was able to incapacitate Orion by bear-hugging him into unconsciousness after a fairly short battle. He also has a phenomenal healing rate, mentioned during his first visit to Earth.
Equipment Edit
He has a Mother Box, giving him the ability to travel between worlds like New Genesis and Earth. He is armed with various New Genesis weapons.
