One of the residents of Apokolips, Granny Goodness is in charge of training (sometimes through brainwashing) new soldiers for Darkseid's forces. She leads the Female Furies. Edit
Name
====
Granny Goodness definatly does NOT live up to her namesake. She is one of the most ruthless, sadistic, and treacherous people on the planet of Apokolips. The apperance of Granny is based off of the comedian, Phyllis Diller.
Orgin
=====
Granny Goodness wasn't always at the high rank she is today in Darkseid's Elite. She started out in the brutal peasant class called the Lowlies. When she was just a youngster, Goodness was taken from her family to be trained as one of Darkseid's soldiers. She served Darkseid with more zeal then most, and became a shock trooper and dog soldier. It wasn't long afterwords when the young girl was awarded her own warhound to train. It was with this hound that Goodness proved her worthiness to Darkseid.
Mercy
=====
Mercy is the name in which Goodness named the warhound. The hound got her name because of that is what the unfortunate soul begged if ever caught between the crushing jaws of the loyal hound. Goodness very easily and quickly bested her male compatriots. She and Mercy were rising rapidly in the ranks. Nothing comes easily in the court of Darkseid without sacrifice.It didn't take long for her commander to give her her last test of loyalty. Goodness was ordered to kill her beloved pet. She bonded with her hound so much, she was unable to do this. Instead she shot the commander. When Darkseid himself asked her why she did this, Granny replied "to have done otherwise would have robbed my lord of a most valuable asset." She explained how she had trained Mercy to obey her first, but Darkseid foremost. Darkseid then ordered the hound to attack Goodness, Mercy obeyed. Goodness was forced to kill the dog.
Headmistress
============
After the incident with Mercy, Darkseid wondered if Goodness could train a dog to obey him like that, why not people. He appointed Goodness as head of the shock troopers and Female Furies. Other then this, little is known about the early life of the female native of the dark planet, Apokolips.
Orphanages
==========
She also came to head a number of "orphanages" throughout Apokoplips that are actually like nightmarish military schools. In these schools the children of Apokolips are trained to develop their inherent abilities and, if they possess any, their supernatural powers. Conditions at the schools are harsh, discipline is severe, and any sign of individuality among the students is cruelly stamped out. The children of the orphanage started refering to Goodness as, "Granny Goodness". One of Granny's favorite means of punishment is using a Beta-Club, which sends out powerful and painful beams towards her target. Granny has claimed that she doesn't hurt her "babies" for the sheer fun of it, but for there own good.
The Pact
========
Years ago, Darkseid, ruler of Apokolips and Highfather, ruler of New Genesis, made a pact that put a temporary end to the war between the two planets. According to the terms of the pact, Highfather's son was given to Darkseid to be raised on Apokolips. Darkseid entrusted the child to Granny Goodness, who named him Scott Free and raised him in one of her orphanages. There she trained him to become one of Darkseid's soldiers.
Scott Free
==========
But as an adult, Scott Free rebelled and with the help of Big Barda, Metron and Himnon escaped from Apokolips to Earth. There Scott established a career as the costumed escape artist Mister MIracle. He was soon joined on Earth by Barda, whom he eventually married. Infuriated by their escape, Granny Goodness has tried several times to take revenge on Scott and Barda, but without success. He was the only one to successfully escape Granny's orphanage.
Athena
======
In the miniseries Amozons Attack, it has been revealed that Granny has been posing as Athena. She used this guise to fool young Amazons into becoming Female Furies for Darkseid's army. This was revealed in the Countdown to Final Crisis series also.
Loyalty
=======
Granny is by far one of Darkseid's most loyal servants. She has warned and punished those who have tried, or thought about trying to rise up against her master.
Notable Graduates
===================
Granny Goodness has trained many warriors of Apokolips. Her most notable is Mister Miracle aka Scott Free. She has also trained Darkseid's personal assassin Kanto for a short time. The military leader, Virman Vundabarr was also a graduate from Granny's orphanage.
