History: 

(Jack Kirby s Fourth World #1-3) - Darkseid sought to utilize the power of the Old Gods, and his aide Desaad came up with equations and machinery to realize his scheme, but his death slowed down the process. Tigra, mother of Darkseid s son Orion, and his bitter foe, learned of Darkseid s schemes. She used Desaad s work to bring forth Thor from a portal, and demanded he kill Darkseid, but the god had his own ideas about what to do with his newfound freedom. She convinced him to travel with her to New Genesis, which was now merged with Apokolips, and they had to fight through a number of Darkseid s soldiers to do so. Tigra was surprised that Thor had some difficulty in the battle, and mocked him for not living up to his fierce reputation. They arrived on New Genesis, and Mr. Miracle and Big Barda were guarding the border. After some harsh words Barda engaged Thor in battle. They fought to a standstill until Miracle used his newfound god power to sap Thor s power and then return it in a burst, leaving him unconscious. Tigra claimed that she d brought Thor to New Genesis to hide him from Darkseid, who was trying to consolidate his power by stealing the powers of the Norse Gods. Thor bridled about the way he d been unceremoniously handled, but revealed that the Norse Gods were vulnerable because Odin had disappeared, and while Highfather put the motion to debate Miracle came up with a plan. He created a tether that would reach the Promethean Galaxy with the help of the Forever People, and together they found Odin trapped in the source wall. Serifan of the Forever People freed him with a cosmic pellet, and brought him to Highfather. They realized they might be too late when Darkseid assembled an armada of ships taken from the various worlds and pantheons he conquered, and  aimed them at Earth.
