10 Most Powerful DC Heroes Of All Time
8. Orion
When the rulers of Apokolips and New Genesis traded offspring, they did so as a truce between their warring planets. Highfather’s son - who would become Mr. Miracle - was raised by the sadistic tyrant Darkseid in Apokolips, while Darkseid’s son Orion was raised in New Genesis by Highfather.
Being a member of the New Gods means Orion has super speed and strength, a rapid healing factor, immense endurance, stamina, and invulnerability. The New Gods are thought to be immortal, although they are vulnerable to radion. Orion has brought the fight to his father Darkseid multiple times, and in one battle was able to plunge his hand into Darkseid’s chest with such force, that the wound resembled the fire pits of Apokolips themselves.
While ruling Apokolips, Orion gained access to the Anti-Life Equation. The equation is a formula for total control over the minds of all sentient beings. Known for his untethered rage as a result of his lineage, Orion uses Mother Box technology to keep his short temper in check.
He has been known to wield the Astro Force, a force of limitless destruction capabilities not unlike the Omega Force. He is definitely a force to be reckoned with and, given his lineage, it would appear that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
