Big Barda is a powerful New God from Apokolips . Although she was originally a member of the Female Furies, since leaving her home planet, she has joined the Justice League of America and the Birds of Prey.
Barda was bred at a Gestation Lab in Apokolips. The genes for these breeds were provided by selected few of Darkseid's choosing based on the qualities he desires the most: cruelty, avarice, ruthlessness, etc. However, Barda was a natural child, conceived by Big Breeda and another man she loved, but Darkseid took her away from her mother, put her in the Gestation Lab, and then sent to be raised at Granny Goodness' Orphanage, without ever knowing her mother.
