- — Scott Free src
Scott Free is the true son of Highfather who was raised in Apokolips.
History
Many years ago, Scott was traded by Darkseid's firstborn for a truce between Apokolips and New Genesis, with neither child knowing the true identity of his father.[1]
Scott stole a generator from Darkseid's laboratory and managed to hide it before being caught by one of the Furies who leaved him go with a warning.
As Scott was finally making his escape from Apokolips, he was confronted by The Superman who broke his legs and nearly sabotaged his escape, but Scott desperately opened the Boom Tube at close range, barely escaping certain death.[2]
Scott landed on Earth were he made contact with Lex Luthor who provided him full access to LexCorp's resources in order to create armament capable of giving Earth a fighting chance against Darkseid.
After finally capturing the estranged Superman, Scott and Luthor were confronted by Darkseid who, after disposing Luthor, offered Scott the Mobius Chair in exchange of Kal-El.[3]
When Apokolips took over Earth with the Anti-Life Equation, Scott arrived to Orion's presence to reveal him the truth about their origins before abandoning them, deciding that their war was no longer his concern.
As he traveled to, and saw through, the Promethean Wall, Scott witnessed the soul of the universe which liberated his heart and blinded his eyes. And with his new clarity, he returned to Earth to assist the New Gods in their battle against Apokolips, providing them with information that allowed them to defeat Darkseid and win the war.
The conflict over, Scott wished his brothers good luck with their lives as he returned to the stars, were his future lies.[1]
