10 Things You Didn't Know About DC's New Gods
4. What (Or Who) Exactly Is The Source?
In a fair number of cosmic or mystical DC stories, the Source is a prominent feature and often serves to highlight the massive scale of the tale being told. The primordial life-giving energy is one of the Presence's - DC's version of God - principal aspects and he is partnered with Mother Entity, another all-powerful force of nourishment and life.
The living energy is responsible for some of DC's most powerful phenomena, such as the Seven Forces of the Universe, and resides beyond even the Fourth World behind the Source Wall, an all-encompassing barrier that is composed of beings (now known as Promethean Giants) that attempted to reach the Source.
So, what does the Source have to do with the New Gods? It turns out that the embodiment of DC's supreme being was responsible for the Godwave that gave rise to the otherworldly beings. In addition to this, the New Gods evolved near him, granting them their incredible might.
