Granny Goodness
Encyclopedia
Granny Goodness is a fictional character
, a deity
and supervillain
published by DC Comics
. Created by Jack Kirby
, Granny Goodness was modeled on comedienne Phyllis Diller
and first appeared in Mister Miracle
vol. 1 #2 (May–June 1971).
Granny Goodness did not begin as one of the higher-level residents of Apokolips
, but was instead one of the "Lowlies" - the brutally-oppressed peasant class. She was removed from her parents and trained to be one of Darkseid
's "Hounds" (his elite soldiers). One part of their training was to train their dog; Goodness named hers Mercy. Through combat and training, the two bonded. As the final step of her initiation into life as a Hound, she was told to kill her beloved pet. Instead, she killed her trainer for ordering this. When Darkseid asked why, she answered that "to have done otherwise would have robbed my lord of a most valuable asset," telling him that Mercy would obey her first, but him foremost. Testing this, Darkseid ordered Mercy to kill Goodness. Mercy attacked Goodness, forcing Goodness to kill her pet. Darkseid was impressed, telling Goodness that she had graduated with honors. "You have trained Mercy so well in my name that perhaps you'll do as well training others whose blind obedience I will one day require."
Darkseid had Goodness run the training facility for his elite soldiers, where she uses brainwashing and torture
, in a brutal parody of child care, to turn the innocent into fanatical warriors willing to kill or die for Darkseid's glory. Since the war between Apokolips and New Genesis first moved to Earth, Granny Goodness has often run Earthly orphanages, looking for potential warriors for Darkseid.
Granny runs the "orphanage" on Apokolips and is the chief of the Female Furies
. She also raised Scott Free
, the son of Highfather
of New Genesis
who had been traded for Darkseid
's son as part of a peace treaty. Scott Free (AKA Mister Miracle
) became the first child to successfully escape one of her Orphanages.
In the final issue of the Amazons Attack miniseries it was revealed that Granny Goodness has been posing as Athena, having been manipulating the Amazons into the war. She tells Hippolyta that it was a test which the Amazons failed. It also appears that Goodness is posing as Athena in the Countdown series, using Amazon centers to recruit new female fighters. She is also holding the Gods of Olympus prisoner. After the gods are freed by Mary Marvel
, Holly Robinson
and Harley Quinn
from an Apokolitian chamber, Granny is attacked and killed by Infinity-Man
.
However, she is reincarnated on Earth, along with the other Evil Gods, as a member of Boss Dark Side's gang. Although this form is destroyed by Black Alice in an issue of Birds of Prey, in the Final Crisis
of mankind, she takes the body of the Alpha Lantern known as Kraken and uses it to attack John Stewart
and frame Hal Jordan
for the assault. While she is discovered by Batman, she easily overpowers him and brings him back to the Evil Factory beneath Blüdhaven where he is sealed inside a torture device. Later, Reverend Good
announces that Granny Goodness is poised to conquer Oa
from within in the name of Darkseid, which would likely reestablish her as his favorite among the Elite
.
Granny's attempted assault on the power structure of Oa results in injury to a Guardian
, the clearing of Hal Jordan's name, the hiding of the Power Battery and a Green Lantern assault force sent to Earth. After she is stopped by Hal Jordan, she is taken away to be inspected. Her fate after Final Crisis is left unknown.

, after Darkseid's victory over New Genesis destroyed both planets, Granny reinvented herself. She is now a brothel madame, with the Furies as her prostitutes, and is an obese black woman.

Eventually Granny Goodness follows Oliver Queen's footsteps in finding the Bow of Orion - a weapon once wielded by Darkseid's son Orion that was used by him to prevent his father from taking over Earth in the past. She destroys the bow and manages to completely bring Oliver under Darkside's control by sending him to find Gold Kryptonite so it can be used to stop Clark from preventing Darkside's return. Her last appearance is in the series finale where she visited Tess at the Luthor mansion and pleaded her to join Darkseid, telling her that Darkseid's Apokolips was upon them and that only his followers would be saved. When Tess refused to join, Granny sadly bid Tess a goodbye and left. Along with Desaad and Gordon Godfrey, tasked Oliver with placing the Gold Kryptonite ring on Clark's finger to neutralize his powers permanently, but Clark managed to remove Oliver's Omega symbol. Later, as Apokolips eclipsed Earth, She, Desaad and Godfrey were confronted by Oliver. Shocked that Oliver's symbol had been cleansed, Granny tried to kill him but before she could, Oliver raised his bow, fired three arrows, and destroyed the prophets who disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. This is the first incarnation of Goodness to be portrayed by a woman, as she had been voiced by Edward Asner in all her previous appearances.
