Bow of Orion was a mystical bow that once belonged to Orion, the biological son of Darkseid. Granny Goodness destroyed the weapon using her telekinetic abilities. After many long battles across space, the battle between Orion and his father Darkseid led them to Earth. In the past, Darkseid began an invasion on Earth and almost succeeded in conquering it with darkness and for Apokolips. It was only because of the god Orion from New Genesis, did Darkseid fail.

Orion had forged a bow of light that helped him succeed in defeating Darkseid and sending him away from Earth. After the harsh battle, Orion left the bow behind for a new hero to take his place and protect Earth from the threat and darkness of Darkseid who he believed may one day return. It is also a very powerful weapon.

Abilities

• According to Granny Goodness the Bow's power was a "light that mankind will never see again" indicating it was able to cause serious harm to Darkseid in the past.
• The full magical power of the bow is unknown, though it's assumed that any arrow shot with it will be supernaturally capable of wounding all forms of beings, no matter how powerful they are.
• Also the bow seems to have some sort of self-traduction power which will translate the words written on it to any language.

Orion is the original keeper of the Bow of Orion and Darkseid's biological son. Kara revealed to Oliver that Orion is the son of Darkseid while they searched for the bow. Rather than being raised by his father he was raised by another being who was dedicated to spreading the light just has much as Darkseid is to spreading darkness. That being's influence ultimately made Orion a powerful ally to the side of light and a key player in one of the early defeats of his father.

Oliver Queen went after Orion's bow to remove his Omega symbol and to help Clark defeat Darkseid. After defeating his father, Orion hid the bow behind a series of traps in a temple so that future heroes could use it to defeat his father when he would one day return. The traps would ensure that only the worthy could wield the bow and that his father's prophets would be unable to acquire the bow and destroy it.
