In other words, beyond his weird early family history, Darkseid has a whole host of strange relationships with other family members. If being opposed by both your second son and your adopted son isn't enough, his first son Kalibak is evil, often serving as Darkseid's second-in-command, though comics lore has made it clear that Darkseid respects his heroic son Orion more than the son following in his footsteps. (He's also prophesied to defeat Darkseid, so that has to sting). Orion, on the other hand, became aligned with the side of good (albeit of a more brutal variety than most heroes) as the greatest protector of New Genesis. He eventually used this ability to escape to Earth with his wife Big Barda (one of Darkseid's greatest warriors), becoming the hero Mister Miracle. For his part, Scott Free found he had a godlike ability to escape effectively all traps (among other skills and powers like expertise in gadgetry, New God physiology, and command of the cosmic Alpha energy that can combat Darkseid's Omega energy).
