Notes:


 * Before making any changes to this page, please read and follow the Power-scaling Rules for Marvel and DC Comics.


 * "Avatar" is a term specifically referring to an ability demonstrated by Pre-Flashpoint Darkseid and Highfather, and it was never stated that the lesser versions of New Gods were specifically created by them to interact with lower dimensions. The term used by Grant Morrison to refer to these lower aspects of the New Gods is "emanation".


 * Like other New Gods, the Pre-Flashpoint emanation of Lightray was unaffected by Crisis on Infinite Earths, as the Fourth World universe was not destroyed and recreated.


 * The Post-Flashpoint emanations of New Gods have very different histories, power-sets, and power levels than the Pre-Flashpoint emanations.
