In her youth, shock trooper Goodness was a Hound, an elite soldier, in the army of Apokolips. She often bested her male counterparts and quickly rose up through the ranks. The final test of loyalty was to shoot her warhound, Mercy. Instead, Goodness killed her examiner. She was taken directly to Darkseid where he ordered Mercy to maul Goodness, forcing her to in turn kill it in self-defense. Goodness graduated with honors and joined Darkseid's elite.
Years later, Goodness became headmistress and took the name Granny Goodness and was charged with running the orphanages of Apokolips. Using a combination of physical discipline and mental dominance, she molded the children of the Armaghettos into Darkseid's slaves. She also formed and trained the Female Furies, a battalion of female warrior elites and Darkseid's honor guard. After failing to find a champion to replace Big Barda, Goodness was tasked by Darkseid to procure Kara Zor-El for him. She followed orders but was enamored at the prospect of presenting her master with the champion of the Amazons, Wonder Woman. However, she and Big Barda defeated Goodness and the Furies. Even in defeat, Goodness tried to coax Barda into killing her. Barda refused and Goodness was thrown to Darkseid's feet by Earth's heroes.
