New Genesis

From Free net encyclopedia

In comic books, New Genesis was the home-planet of the New Gods from Jack Kirby's Fourth World metaseries. It is ruled by Highfather, who resembles the Greek god Zeus, and the Scandinavian god Odin (who was known in mythology as the high-father), and the classic Judeo-Christian God. It was opposed to Apokolips.

In contrast to the industrial wasteland of Apokalips, New Genesis is covered in lush forests and grasslands. The only urban location is Supertown, a floating city designed not to affect the planet's surface.

Both Apokolips and New Genesis were seemingly destroyed in a final battle prior to Grant Morrison's miniseries Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle. The surviving New Gods from both worlds are now on Earth.Template:DC-Comics-stub
