I realize this isn't really relevant because we don't currently have a superhero campaign (hint, hint...), but I had a weird dream the other night about the rebooted DC universe (DC comics, not Druid Cycle...don't worry, I have no plans to reboot the Druid Cycle universe!) and some of the mysteries they've been building up over the first year. One of those mysteries is the identity of Darkseid's daughter. Initially, we all thought it was going to be Pandora, but DC has already shot down that idea.
So who is Darkseid's daughter? As I see it, there are three possibilities:
1. Darkseid's daughter is a character we haven't encountered yet, so there's no point in speculating about her identity.
2. Darkseid's daughter is an existing DC character whose back-story will be radically changed to make her fit as the offspring of the Big Bad. (And if you've been following the New 52, you know that they haven't been shy about monkeying around with origins. Just look at what they did to the Question!)
3. Darkseid's daughter is an existing DC character, but a minor one who doesn't have a well established origin story, making it easy for them to retcon her into Darkseid's family.
If it's #3, which minor character might fit? I keep going back to Flashpoint, because that storyline really foreshadowed a lot of what we've seen in the New 52. In Flashpoint we were introduced to Element Woman. She popped up again a couple of weeks ago in the New 52 comic from Free Comic Book Day (see the big fold-out Trinity War splash -- she's the one battling Cyborg). I've heard in interviews that Element Woman is going to become a more important character and even join the Justice League (and yet still no Hawkman in the Justice League...well, that's a rant for another day...).
Are they setting up Element Woman for a big reveal as Darkseid's long-lost daughter? As of now, that's my guess. You heard it here first...Element Woman is Darkseid's daughter.
Or Raven...it could also be Raven...
