What's the difference? I saw something about the Father Box and Orion or something, but does Orion only use it?

Has Darkseid used it? Does Darkseid use the Mother Box as well?

Why are there so many Boxes in the first place? Lol.

Well, according to the Father Box page, "A father box is...

Apokoliptian version of a Mother Box. Among other things, it can be used to summon hush tubes, a variant of boom tubes.

Darkseid’s former aide Mortalla presents Orion with an Apokoliptian Father Box when he seemingly died.

This box communicated by going "ting!" rather than "ping!", and was designed to turn him towards Darkseid.

Thats all I know. hope that...helps :)

The Father box was also the Mother Box from the reversed gender continuity which gave us Miss Miracle.
