Big Barda

Barda is a member of the race known as the New Gods.

She was born about 250 years ago, on Apokolips.

Her mother was named Big Breeda, but Barda was taken away from her at an early age to be trained as a warrior.

She was a product of Granny Goodness' Home for Orphaned Youth.

Granny's motto is "Die for Darkseid" (the planet's evil ruler).

Granny groomed Barda to one day lead the Female Fury Battalion, a ferocious pack of warrior women.

However, during a raid, Barda meets Scott Free, Darkseid's adopted son, and, sensing a peace about him, fell in love.

Barda risked her own safety to work with the rebel cell led by the New God Himon.

Barda, Himon and Metron assist Scott in escaping Apokolips.

She doesn't leave at that point for gravity manipulation had disabled her and she didn't wish to slow Scott down in his flight.

Eventually, Barda completely turns her back on Granny and came to Earth herself.

Scott had become an escape artist called Mister Miracle, and is teamed with Oberon, his diminutive manager.

For a while, Barda's Furies assist Scott in his showmanship efforts but they return to Apokolips by themselves.

Scott and Barda are married by Scott's father, the Highfather of New Genesis.

For a number of years, Barda followed Scott and Oberon on tour.

Eventually they retired as superheroes and moved to Bailey, New Hampshire.

However, despite their best attempts, a normal life eluded them.

Disasters plagued them; Barda, Scott, and Oberon left Bailey and moved to a loft in Greenwich Village.

Barda formed a defense-training program for women called the New Female Furies.
