Big Barda

> "*It's what you feel for your little ones. The fear for their safety... and the happiness that they're here with you. It's need... and want... for something to care for you as you care for them. It's knowing that someone does care. Love... is being loved. Everyone needs love... especially the strong... especially those who fear it most!*"

**Standard Equipment:**

* **Apokolilptian Armor:** Barda retained her Apokoliptian armor after escaping to Earth, using it to supplement her already impressive durability, being able to withstand attacks from other New Gods and their weaponry.
* **Mega Rod:** Barda's signature weapon, a virtually indestructible rod with the functional components of a Mother Box. As a result, it is a powerful melee weapon that can easily clash with weapons like Wonder Woman's sword without suffering damage and can project powerful concussive blasts across a wide-range that can tear through the hulls of armored warships and force back entities as durable as Superman.
* **Mother Box:** A sentient supercomputer kept on Barda's person at all times, its most well-known usage is its ability to create "Boom Tubes" that can transport Barda virtually anywhere she desires, between planets, solar systems, and even universes. They can also manipulate the gravitational constant of the surrounding area, allow Barda to survive in inhospitable conditions like the vacuum of space, manipulate and evolve non-sentient machines, heal Barda and sustain her in the face of life-threatening injuries, and transfer energy from one place to another.
* **Aero Discs:** Special devices that can defy gravity, Big Barda can stand upon them in order to simulate flight, being able to maneuver through the air freely while using them.

**Intelligence:** Having been groomed from an early age to be the leader of Darkseid's Female Furies, Barda is a master of all weapons and forms of hand-to-hand combat, utilizing everything from swords, to clubs, to rifles and cannons with great proficiency and stalemating combatants as skillful as Wonder Woman. She was able to thoroughly trounce the combined forces of the Female Furies while fighting alongside Wonder Woman. In addition, like most New Gods, Barda is naturally more intelligent than most humans due to her exposure to the Source. This allowed her to help her husband Scott design and construct numerous dangerous traps for use in his death-defying acts.

**Weaknesses:** Like all New Gods, Barda is vulnerable to Radion, a substance that can potentially bypass her natural durability if weaponized against her in the form of a blaster or a bomb.
