TRAITS: G. Gordon Godrey is a man with an agenda, but is usually able to keep his ulterior motives vague and esoteric enough to avoid suspicion of any direct wrong doing. He is cunning and sly and uses his above-average intellect to prey on the insecurities of others to convince them to either do his bidding or to adopt his way of thinking. He is a charismatic person, someone that people who can not/do not think for themselves are attracted to. He can come off as being condescending but he has an uncanny ability to motive and inspire the population, even when he is not being entirely honest. He is good at lying and at misdirection. Because he typically interviews people on his own home turf (on his own broadcast), he is capable to dictating the flow and direction of a conversation/debate to the point that anything anyone says that’s contrary to the agenda he’s trying to sell, he can easily make them appear to be a bad guy, or a bad guy sympathist at least.

HISTORY: G. Gordon Godfrey (as he is known on Earth) is one of Darkseid’s most trusted agents. What he lacks in overwhelming intelligence and brute strength Godfrey more than makes up for in charisma and cunning. Using technology from Apokolips, Godfrey was able to assume to role of a middle-aged British man. He came to earth over a decade before the Reach did and was already conducting research and recon for his Liege Lord, Darkseid. Meanwhile, he began positioning himself as a widely accredited journalist with a few well placed bribes and eventually with the assistance of one, Vandal Savage.

In order to further establish credibility, Godrey had fake birth records, college transcripts and other documents created to hide his true identity. He even went so far as to marry an Earth woman in order to help maintain his façade and to fit into the conservative mold. By pooling information with Savage, Darkseid and eventually The Light, Godfrey was able to determine that certain corporations (Wayne Enterprises, Palmer Technologies, STAR Labs, etc.) were likely working in unison with the Earth’s heroes (although even Godrey was unable to uncover their identities).

He began to undermine these companies and their CEOs, attempting to turn public opinion against them. While his campaign did not prove disastrous to these companies, he did earn interviews with the likes of Felicity Smoak, Lucious Fox, Harrison Wells, and even Ray Palmer himself. These interviews, and Godfrey’s ferocity therein, catapaulted him to the forefront of controversial journalism and earned him something of a cult following to boot.

Following the fall of the Reach and apparent defeat of the Light, Godfrey left Earth temporarily after his final interview with Lex Luthor who was moving into the world of politics, specifically taking the position of Secretary Seng. Despite, or perhaps in spite of the Reach’s incompetence at nearly every turn, the core members of the Light were still positioned to reach their ultimate goal; Darkseid ruling the earth. Al though they had been cleared on Rinbor, the League was still not exactly popular on earth and with Lex Luthor moving into position, it would be only a matter of time before Godfrey would be required to return to earth to push for formal hero registration and the eventual outlaw of ‘vigilantism’.
