Created by the late, legendary comic book writer and artist Jack Kirby, Granny Goodness first appeared in the second issue of Mister Miracle in June 1971.
What the Mister Miracle comic does not mention is her association with Darkseid, which would come later and reveal how she became such a baddie.
From there, she would, essentially, become the embodiment of Stockholm Syndrome, falling prey to her kidnapper’s demands, especially after one moment that earned her a life-changing promotion in his army.
Like how many of Darkseid’s minions (particuarly DeSaad) got their start, Goodness (as she was once simply known) was kidnapped by the powerful tyrant as a child when she was a member of the Lowlies, which is the equivalent to peasants among the New Gods.
