User blog:RoninTheMasterless/Earth-53's New Pantheon

In order to sharpen the ever dulling humanist edge Earth-53 started off with, I intend to construct my own Pantheon, or rather, Pantheons. The Pantheons are divied chronologically: The Old Gods and the New Gods:

The Old Gods
At the moment I'm not sure what to do with the Old Gods. I personally have sympathies to the Greek Pantheon, but part of me wants to do what Jack Kirby did with the New Gods, and make a Pantheon that does not rely on the traditions of Greek Polytheism, but I would essentially copy the essential structure of said Pantheon anyway (i.e. Gods that embody specific human qualities, virtues, vices, etc). At the moment I'm leaning on honoring Jack Kirby and going with my own Old Gods, based heavily off his New Gods, as well as Greek myth and Ancient Chinese philosophy:

The New Gods
The New Pantheon begins with the Patriarch Uxas, better known as Darkseid. Darkseid founded Apokolips after murdering his father, Zonuz.
