Bekka

Bekka is introduced within Jack Kirby’s Fourth World as the daughter of Himon. Sources describe that she lived in secret with her father on Apokolips for many years and that Himon was a scientist and organizer of rebellion. Storylines depict her aiding Orion (including healing him) and participating in actions to free Tigra; Himon is later apparently killed. In subsequent DC narratives Bekka appears across continuities, is involved in rescue missions (for example aiding Superman against DeSaad), is recruited by larger power structures (the Sinestro Corps in The New 52), and is among the New Gods whose deaths are central to Death of the New Gods, initially attributed to Infinity-Man disguised as Himon.

Source descriptions are narrative rather than detailed visual portraits. Bekka is depicted as a combat-ready New God and skilled swordfighter; she is shown using Fourth World technology (a Mother Box) and, in some stories, possessing a yellow power ring associated with the Sinestro Corps. Alternate-media portrayals include an alternate-universe Bekka functioning as a Wonder Woman analogue who married Orion and used a Mother Box to reach Earth.

As a New God Bekka is described as nigh-immortal with superhuman physical abilities. She can heal others and is a skilled swordswoman. A distinctive power is the ability to manipulate and amplify others' emotions; in The New 52 this is presented as a subconscious charm likened to a "siren's call" that can compel obsessive attraction or cause people to follow her to a fault. Narratives use this influence strategically (recruitment, diversion, coercion). She also wields a Mother Box and in some stories uses a yellow power ring.
