Biography
Invasion of Earth
Thousands of years before the Battle of Metropolis, Darkseid ordered Steppenwolf[1] to conquer Earth, but the latter's army was successfully fought off by the combined efforts of the Amazons, Atlanteans and humans, losing three of the Mother Boxes in the process, and forcing Steppenwolf to retreat into exile. Each of the three factions of the army that saved the Earth would take one Mother Box and hid them for safekeeping.
