Morgan Edge (New Earth-Eight)

Galaxy Communication
Morgan Edge was the son of media tycoon Vincent Edge, who founded Galaxy Communications. Morgan had an extreme hatred for his father, for the fact that he had killed Morgan's mother when he was child and never took responsibility for it.

Morgan's hatred and contempt for him would only grow with age and when his father offered him a possession at Galaxy Communications, but only if he respected him and gave up his rebellious streak. Morgan would refuse and would walkout of his office in anger for his father's arrogance.

Morgan after leaving would return to his apartment and would begin drinking heavily to cope with his anger. After several hours of this, Morgan would decide to take his own life, feeling the only way to punish his father would be to take his own life and to be another mark on his father's reputation. Morgan would retrieve his gun from his study and load it. As he put its barrel into his mouth he began to cry. Right before he pulled the trigger however, he was stopped by the sound of voice. He would open his eyes to see a large figure in the shadows. The figure would introduce itself as Darkseid, who told Morgan he was drawn to him due to his contempt and hatred. Morgan frightened would point his gun at Darkseid and threaten him, which only caused him to chuckle. Darkseid would then tell Morgan for someone who had just given up on life, he still wanted to fight. Darkseid would ask Morgan his story, which Morgan feeling like he had to told him. After finishing Darkseid then told him that he must accept his father's offer and make his way to the top of the company and once he does, to kill his father in such a way that he knows it was him. Morgan asks how he will accomplish such a deed, which Darkseid responds that if he pledges loyalty to him, he will aid him in the act. Morgan feeling compelled agrees and pledges his loyalty to the Dark God, Darkseid.
