Powers: Like all New Gods Amazing Grace was extraordinarily long-lived. She could virtually mind-control others with her beauty and rhetoric.

History: (Adventures of Superman #426) - Darkseid sent Amazing Grace among the Hunger Dogs to give them hope of rebellion against him. When Superman came to Apokolips she used her mind control to make Superman into the Hunger Dog's champion and lead them into battle against the Parademons in open revolt against Darkseid. After suffering heavy casualties they won a brief victory. As they celebrated Amazing Grace had Superman address them and tell them their hopes were about to be crushed, and a squad of Parademons slaughtered the Dogs. Amazing Grace, satisfied with showing the Dogs how hopeless their situation was, handed control of Superman over to Darkseid.
