“Orion se bat pour la Terre !”

Ages ago good and evil gods alike perish in the destruction of the home of the old gods. Now Orion, wielder of the Astro Force, is summoned to New Genesis by High-Father.

Orion frees Lanza, Shane, Lincoln, and Lockman and flees to Earth. Orion's task is to stop Darkseid, who plans to mind-scan every human on Earth until he finds the one whose mind holds the secret of the coveted Anti-Life Equation.
