Orion

* Pre-Flashpoint Emanation
* Anti-Life Equation
* Post-Flashpoint Emanation

## Personal Characteristics

**Name:** Orion

**Origin:** DC Comics

**Gender:** Male

**Age:** Between 15,000 (min) and 200,000 (max) | Billions of years | Unknown; exists beyond normal time

**Classification:** New God

## Summary

**Orion**, The Dog of War is one of, if not the most powerful, warriors of New Genesis, standing alongside Highfather and Darkseid as the strongest of the New Gods. From birth, he was prophesied to kill Darkseid in the final battle, and although they were both killed in the events preceding Final Crisis, it is unknown if that battle truly fulfilled the prophecy or not.

It was later clarified that Orion and the other New Gods are not simply alien beings from an extradimensional realm; they are living ideas from a higher, archetypal realm; every storyline except for Final Crisis simply deals with emanations of the higher-dimensional deities touching the lower-dimensional multiverse. During the events of Final Crisis, Orion's Godhead was "shattered like light through a prism in an infinite number of deaths," and the Post-Flashpoint Orion is one of those fragments.

## Mentality

**Intelligence:** Supergenius (Even without his divinity to help him, Orion was able to build the Genesis Box, a device capable of destroying and remaking the universe without Darkseid's taint. As a god of battle, Orion has stated there is very little about war and weaponry he doesn't know, using his knowledge to easily outsmart an immortal with centuries of experience in manipulating and planning)

**Dimensionality:** **3D** | **Unknown** | **5D**

**Existential Status:** **Concrete** | **Concrete** | **Concrete**

**Attack Potency:** **Supernova level** normally (Comparable to Post-Crisis Superman), **Multiverse level** at full power (Killed Darkseid when they fought in the Source. A weaker clone of Orion was able to put up a fight against the weakened Darkseid in the 30th century, who was far more powerful than the likes of Mordru), **Multiverse level** with the Anti-Life Equation (**At least 5D in scale;** Absorbed the entire Anti-Life Equation and used it to defeat Ecruos, an enemy of the Source capable of destroying the World Tree, one of the foundations of Creation itself) | **Supernova level** (The shockwaves of his clash with an Nth Metal Golem destroyed a star system) | **Multiverse level** (**At least 5D in scale;** Wounded Godhead Darkseid beyond repair)

**Durability:** **Supernova level** normally (Tanked blasts from the Void Hound which destroyed multiple star systems in its test run), **Multiverse level** at full power (Took attacks from Darkseid), **Multiverse level** with the Anti-Life Equation (**At least 5D in scale;** Should be comparable to his own power) | **Supernova level** (Took a gravity attack and energy blast from Mogo without damage) | **Multiverse level** (**At least 5D in scale;** Should be comparable to his own power)

**Speed:** **Massively FTL+** (Equal to Darkseid and replicated his feat of flying to the universe's edge in moments) | At least **FTL** movement speed with **Massively FTL+** flight speed (Comparable to Superman) | **Nigh-Omnipresent** (Comparable to Godhead Darkseid)

**Lifting Strength:** **Solar Masses** normally, (Restrained Post-Crisis Superman), **Immeasurable** at full power (Comparable to Darkseid) | **Class YN** (Comparable to Superman) | **Immeasurable**

**Stamina:** Extremely High (Can fight for long periods, even in realms like the Source where the concept of time ceases to have meaning) | High (Fought for a long period of time against a horde of Darkstars without tiring) | Infinite (Non-corporeal abstract being)

**Range:** Universal (Contained the Oblivion Bomb after it had already begun acting throughout all of space) | Interplanetary (Destroyed a star system with an Nth Metal Golem) | Low Complex Multiversal (via scaling from Godhead Darkseid)

**Weaknesses:** Orion is vulnerable to radion, a lethal substance to New Gods. It should be noted, however, that Pre-Flashpoint Orion wasn't even knocked unconscious by multiple radion stingers, and Godhead Orion was presumably weakened from fighting Darkseid when he was shot with the radion bullet.

**Key:** **Pre-Flashpoint Emanation** | **Post-Flashpoint Emanation** | **Godhead**

## Arsenal

**Standard Equipment:** Mother Box, Astro-Harness and wristbands | A4 (the Post-Flashpoint version of the Astro-Harness, now sentient and capable of communicating with Orion similarly to a Mother Box)

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* Pre-Flashpoint Emanation
* Post-Flashpoint Emanation
* Godhead

**Source of the Beast:** Orion's true power comes out when he loses restraint and succumbs to the darkness and rage within him. This is seen when he suddenly became able to defeat Mantis without difficulty, despite fighting evenly against him moments before. Orion is capable of accessing it at will but constantly restrains himself because of his inner conflict about his heritage.

**Astro-Force:** Also known as the "Wrath of the Source", the Astro-Force is a nearly infinite source of energy that Orion alone is capable of wielding. He almost always accesses it either through his harness or wristbands, but it was later revealed that both are actually made of pure Astro-Force and cannot be destroyed, being part of the Source.

**Mother Box:** Orion's Mother Box can be used to perform a huge number of abilities, including danger sensing, tracking, telekinesis, energy blasts, shapeshifting, healing, and mental manipulation, among others. See Mother Box for full details.

**Anti-Life Equation:** Orion absorbed the full Anti-Life Equation from Darkseid's Bates clones, granting him an incredible boost in power as well as the ability to completely dominate the minds of those who hear his voice. He later lost the Equation after using its entire power to defeat Ecruos, an enemy of the Source.
None notable. Orion's Post-Flashpoint Emanation has not demonstrated any of the versatility that his Pre-Flashpoint emanation did, and is seemingly limited to energy projection, boom tubes, and the abilities granted by Mother Box.

As all instances of Orion seen in lower-dimensional realms are infinitesimally small parts of Orion's true being, it stands to reason that Godhead Orion possesses all of the abilities demonstrated by them but to a much greater degree.
