New Gods



The New Gods are a race of extra-terrestrial beings whose proximity to the Source Wall has bestowed them with god-like power.

Living outside of normal time and space in a realm called the "Fourth World". The New Gods have evolved into beings of genetic stability and evolutionary perfection as well as possessing superior technology unseen anywhere else in the universe.

History
During the creation of existence and the Multiverse, a planet was formed around a star that was in close proximity to the Source and the Source Wall; a realm of energy that served as a physical barrier between the Multiversal universe and direct access to the Source itself. Called Urgund (or Godworld), the planet soon supported life and sentient humanoid life forms emerged. Ages later, these humanoids began accessing the energies of the Source and became nigh-immortal beings with celestial power. This, along with their incredibly advanced technology, made them incredibly powerful and became known as the "Gods of Urgund" (referred to as the "Old Gods" in modern time). However, the gods soon entered into conflict with each other and turned their colossal power and advanced technology upon themselves. During their pursuit of war, the gods discovered a force that served as the anti-thesis of the Source. Dubbing the force "Anti-Life", they unleashed the energies upon their enemies without knowing of its full power and inadvertently destroyed themselves and their planet. As the Anti-life energies destroyed Urgund, they spread outwards and consumed thousands of surrounding star systems before finally dissipating. With the exception of Urgund’s sun and the rubble of the planet itself, the entire sector was reduced to an empty space and was now surrounded by an energy envelope that placed it slightly out of phase with the rest of reality; rendering conventional travel to the sector now impossible.

Eventually, the rubble of Urgund began to take shape again and formed into two planets. One was full of life and would be called New Genesis. The other was a desolate wasteland and would be called Apokolips. New life formed on both planets and they soon learned to access the same cosmic energies that their predecessors had. Soon after, they dubbed themselves "New Gods" in memory of the predecessors. Moralistically divided, the people of New Genesis were led by Izaya the Highfather while the New Gods of Apokolips were eventually led by Darkseid the Destroyer. While not as militant as the Old Gods, the two sides fought from time to time due to Darkseid's wish to conquer and destroy all of creation.

Trivia

 * The New Gods mark the "Ages" of their culture by referring to them as "Worlds" (The First World, The Second World, etc). The First World (or Age) marks the formation of the universe and the planet Urgund. The Second World began as the planet's first sentient humanoids emerged and the Third World began when the humanoids gained "godhood" thanks to the energies from the Source Wall. The Fourth World began after the destruction of Urgund and the formation of New Genesis and Apokolips to modern time.
 * The Old Gods achieved godhood about 5 billion years before the birth of the Maltusians, who would later gain immortality and become known as the Guardians of the Universe.
 * The energies of the Urgund’s destruction extended across the universe and birthed several higher-dimensional beings who would also become known as Gods. As the wave reached Earth, these higher-dimensional beings included the Greek Pantheon, the Norse deities, and other beings who would become the subject of worship by humans.
 * While the planet Urgund and the majority of the Old Gods were destroyed at the end of the Third World, artifacts from that age still survive. Amongst the artifacts was the sentient weapon known as Mageddon and the Old God, Gog. Gog survived because he had refused to participate in the war and was sent hurtling through the Bleed, until he landed on Earth, where he remained in a coma until he was encountered, and ultimately killed, by the Justice Society of America. The weapon Mageddon was a weapon that inspired violence and death through its sheer proximity, and after being freed from its "prison" at the edge of the universe, the weapon went around the universe bringing about death and destruction until arriving it at Earth and was destroyed by the Justice League of America and the combined population of the planet, who were temporarily bestowed with metahuman powers.
 * While the Gods are immortal beings of celestial power, it is known that a substance known as “Radion” is highly toxic to them.
