I know about Barda, you plebeian gnat. She is the most powerful woman I have ever met, able to decimate crowds of the finest Amazons at a time. I would always keep an eye on her.

A Happy Anti-Life

Mister Miracle Vol 4 8 Textless

Big Barda and Mister Miracle on top of Apokolips' armies corpses

Some time after the events of the Darkseid War, Big Barda and Mister Miracle's lives were affected by the Anti-Life Equation. This caused Barda and Scot to remain together even though they separated at the end of the War. In this perception of reality, Darkseid is again the ruler of Apokolips and are currently at war with New Genesis. Highfather seemingly dies in the war which causes Barda and Scot to join the war and defend New Genesis. After battling Darkseid's armies and meeting Orion, who's now Highfather, Barda and Scot open a Boom Tube to Granny Goodness, where she greets them with jell-o. Granny expects Barda and Scot to negotiate a peace treaty, but at night, the duo sneaks out to confront Granny. As Granny is attempting to convince Scot that there's a prophecy that Darkseid can be killed by his own son, Barda kills her.[1][2][3]

After Granny's death and whilst, Barda is sleeping and Scot witnesses Lightray apparently killing Forager. Barda proceeds to tend to Scot's wounds due to his confrontation with Orion. Lightray was there informing Scot of his trial when Barda beats him up because he declares Scot is an agent of Darkseid. The trial commences when Orion arrives. Barda was then forced to hold back Scot from beating up Orion during his trial and he declares Scot guilty punishable by execution. After spending their "last day" together, Barda and Scot go to New Genesis to confront Orion. Barda reveals she's pregnant just before they discover Orion's bloodied corpse. Orion's "death" appeared to be the cause of Darkseid. Months after Orion's apparent death, Barda gives birth to their first son; Jacob Free.[4][5][6][7]

As the New Genesis and Apokolips war rages on and Barda and Scot take care of their son, the duo eventually makes their way to Apokolips to end the war. They offer to trade their son, Jacob. They trick Darkseid, but he knocks down Barda and fights Scot. She helps Scot defeat Darkseid and the cause of this reality is revealed to be Metron, who was disguised as Desaad. Following these events, Barda reveals she's pregnant again and gives birth to a daughter.[8][9][10][11]

Powers

Abilities


  • Big Barda was created by Jack Kirby, first appearing in Mister Miracle #4. However, Big Barda first appeared as part of Prime Earth continuity in Justice League (Volume 2) #46 by Geoff Johns.
  • Though some sources initially indicated during the early New 52 that the New Gods were singularities, with only one of each existing in all the multiverse, later comics, namely Multiversity indicated that, instead, each universe in the multiverse possessed its own unique emination of each New God, each seemingly a part of a larger multiversal core (or 'godhead' for each New God within the Sphere of Gods. Later comics, like Infinite Frontier, confirmed this.
