A female 'pseudo-god' and a follower of Darkseid.
Description[]
Granny Goodness with her gray hair, portly figure, and short bent legs is a caricature of an elderly woman. She wears a tight, dark blue costume with yellow decorations, together with yellow leggings and a red cape. In an an unsteady, aged voice, she can speak like a kindly old lady, but only to hide her true cruel nature. She speaks to some around her as though they are children in her care.
She is one of the New Gods from Apokolips and is a likely member of Darkseid's Elite. We hear that she runs an orphanage and will kidnap children for it. Granny can be seen either in the presence of Darkseid or on missions for him, and also in the company of his son Kalibak whom she orders around. When on operations she can be escorted by two characters (called the Female Furies elsewhere) that provide martial support, or by parademons, or be just on her own in disguise.
Granny, despite her apparent age, will enthusiastically join in combat and is tough enough to survive a hit from Superman. Indeed, she is apparently invulnerable, being unaffected by submersion in molten lava. She always carries a weapon shaped like a stonemason's mallet (and called a 'Mega Rod' elsewhere) that can create a strong shockwave when hit on a hard surface, levitate a person, or just shoot a green beam. For transport she can stand on a floating disk or make use of a 'Mother Box'.
