New Gods

## **History**

The beings of New Genesis and Apokolips call themselves Gods and live outside of normal time and space in a realm called the Fourth World. These **New Gods** have evolved due to their close proximity to the Source, primeval energy, believed to be one of the ultimate foundations of the Universal Expression of Energy, along with their superior technology, into beings of genetic stability and evolutionary perfection. The denizens of New Genesis are stronger, faster, and smarter than homo sapiens, despite their resemblance to the same. This is not true of Apokolips however where many of the beings are inferior and only a few are physically more powerful than humans.

Some of the New Gods show the following powers:

* **Invulnerability:** New Gods are resistant to blunt trauma like punches, kicks, and blows from weapons like bats and maces. New Gods are also resistant to other types of damage, including slashing weapons or hazards like extreme heat, extreme cold, and most forms of radiation. New Gods have an extremely evolved immune system. They have developed immunity to a number of toxins and diseases.
* **Super Speed:** New Gods have a highly developed nervous system. Their reaction speed and hand-eye coordination are superior to that of a normal human. They can move fast enough to dodge a bullet before the gun fires and react with blinding speed.
* **Super Strength:** New Gods are naturally stronger than that of a human man or woman of their build and stature who engages in regular intensive exercise. Their strength can be measured by their ability to lift hundreds of tons.
* **Super Stamina:** Their stamina and endurance might far exceed that of a human. They can actually function at peak efficiency for almost 48 hours before needing to eat and rest.
