The Mother Box is a living computer connected to the Source. About the size of a brick, the Mother Box was long ago created by the New God, Himon who used Element X. And after that, only very talented New Gods are able to create more of them. Element X serves as a sort of medium to the Source and draws on its energy. Thus, it is the link between God and His creations. Despite their divine origins, most New Gods regard them mostly as a tool to get from one place to another via Boom Tube.
In search of passage to Apokolips, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman procured Big Barda's on the condition she accompanied them. Batman would then use the Mother Box to locate Darkseid's cache of Hellspores and reprogram them to use as leverage. In the short time Kara Zor-El was under Darkseid's tutelage, she was taught how to operate a Mother Box. Then in a battle in Smallville, Zor-El reconfigured the coordinates of Darkseid's and opened a Boom Tube into outer space. Superman shoved him through with his heat vision.
