Blah blah Daddy issues and anger issues. The most important part of Orion’s story is how he wholeheartedly believes that he is doomed to a violent and tragic fate but accepts it eagerly because he can make that terrible end into an act of sacrifice that will better the universe. The most important part of Orion’s story is how those around him are split between believing the same yet loving him with no reservation even in anticipation of heartbreak, and those who defy fate and prophecy with the desperate insistence that he will live. If you even care
Lightray is always among the latter btw
I'm actually the funniest person alive.

“In 1971, virtuoso cartoonist Jack Kirby took note of the growing power of fundamentalist religion in the U.S., and satirized it in an issue of ‘Forever People.’ Kirby was one of the 1st to notice elements of fascism in the mega-media religion which emerged in the late 1960’s.”

New Gods doodles I forgot to post
The Anti-Life Equation
The Anti-Life Equation is an algorithm that overcomes free will and subjugates all life forms. Elements of the anti-life equation can be found in many social media platforms. Were any malevolent being to discover the entire algorithm they could bend the will of all life forms and rule the universe.
Apokolips
The final war of the old gods spilt their world apart. The fragments coalesced into two new worlds. Similar life forms developed on each, but they developed differently. On Apokolips, the New Gods pursuit of personal material wealth through subjection of others and the rapacious consumption of natural resources of the planet left their world a dark, enflamed planet of slaves that serve Darkseid and his small cadre of elite gods.
New Genesis
New Genesis formed from fragments of the world of the old gods, which was destroyed in a catastrophic war. The race of gods that evolved there have a reverence for nature, diversity of species, individual freedom, and beauty. It is a garden planet, sparsely populated. Most of the New Gods live in spectacular cities that hover in the clouds above the surface.
Lightray
is a member of the New Gods from New Genesis. He embodies light with all of its creativity, bright humor, and intelligence.
Lightray flies at the speed of light, and can generate and project solar energy. Lightray can also use his powers of light to create life-like illusions
