General New Gods Respect Thread
This one's going to address all of the New Gods that aren't Darkseid, Orion, Mr. Miracle, or Barda, basically. All the ones who have very few battle appearances by comparison and aren't really set to get a respect thread of their own. Additionally, feats of random New Gods will appear.
This is just starting things off. I don't have much time to be on the net these days, so instead of posting them all in one sitting, I'll continually update this thread when time permits. None of these character sections will start off comprehensive.
Lightray
For comparison, this is Orion's fight against the powered up Kalibak from Kirby's original run:

While Kalibak is powered up. Lightray lands a good blast. It seems to be implied from the text IMO that the blast would've taken Kalibak out if not for his enhancement. Now, while his next attack doesn't land and Kalibak goes on to beat him as soundly as he did Orion, still, check out the blast compared to Orion's attack on Kalibak. Is it just me, or does Lightray's blast look to be more damaging than Orion's fists?

Lightray KOes Mongul with a similar blast:

All-out Lightray vs. Takion. Now, obviously he loses to the Skyfather-level being before him. Nevertheless, check out how impressive his performance is. In fact, if you compare it to Takion's battle against Kyle, Captain Atom, and The Flash combined, IMO Lightray clearly looked better than any of them. Takion is so impressed that he even states Lightray's power nears his own. He faced a Takion who was far more in control of his powers than they did, at that:

This machine releases energies that actually kill several New God warriors. Even Orion uses Mother Box to help protect himself from its indirect power:

Lightray survives one of its blasts:

Lightray takes a clean sucker-blast from Guy Gardner, and recovers fast enough to catch the guy he dropped before he hits the ground:

http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/2964/light1ao4.jpg
Lightray and Superman resist a black hole's pull about equally well (or not well):

http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/...man95p178hz.jpg
http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/...man95p184ks.jpg
He's essentially suckered by Captain Atom, and gets knocked out of the sky, but gets back up fine, and J'onn steps in to restrain him from attacking CA:
http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/9599/lightray2dh.jpg
He sorta restrains Orion. This one's arguable as he only grabbed one of Orion's arms, but IMO it looked like he stopped Orion in the middle of his flight:
http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/6705/restse8.jpg
For blunt force durability, here he runs at top speed unawares into a barrier created by the power of Yuga Khan -- a being whose power is greater than Darkseid or Highfather's. He's alright afterward:
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/8108/wallfh7.jpg
Next issue he repeats this feat:
http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/8272/lighray2pt2.jpg
Lightray creates a star and shrugs off a lightspeed collision with a nearby planetoid:

http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/7388/yah1vc6.jpg
Highfather
Highfather creates Takion:

http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?...akion105pu4.jpg
http://img160.imageshack.us/my.php?...akion106va2.jpg
Highfather gathers The Forever People back to their proper time:

http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ple00721sq4.jpg
From the time when Mr. Miracle started realizing the power he inherited from Highfather, his portion of The Alpha Force ... Alpha Force Mr. Miracle revives Barda from her zombified form after her death, returning her to the living, and banishes The Black Racer:

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/4322/miracle5sx4.jpg
As for how he compares to dad when it comes to weilding that power? Highfather casually blocks a blast from Alpha Force Mr. Miracle:
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/9084/miracle6rd5.jpg
Highfather combines himself and 4 other Skyfather level beings into a single body:

http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/4948/jkfw0810sm9.jpg
Highfather cuts open a "cosmos of torment" which he threatens to send Orion to:

He takes a Captain Atom blast to no effect:

Random New Genesis warriors scuffle with The JLA:

I was sorta thinking the same thing yesterday, but only about making a Highfather Izaya Respect Thread. I'm sure he has plenty. If Darkseid has one, Izaya should also.. Could you start it Jimmy?

Some Big Barda feats would be great, the Lightray ones are sweet.
Cool thread.

Barda already has a respect thread by Thorion at SHC, I think.
Highfather
This one's for comparison's sake. Orion faces an Earthling who's gotten ahold of the power of an Old God. It's a brief exchange and Orion comes out the better, but I think it's obvious he was around Orion's level of power. After the scuffle with Orion, Highfather steps in and nonchalantly strips the being of his power:

While their first battle was brief and even, in their second fight, Highfather ends up killing Steppenwolf with one hit. Then he singlehandidly drives off the rest of the Apokolips army that the other New Genesis warriors were having trouble with:

Contest of strength with Darkseid:

This isn't much of a concrete feat, but symbolically it looked to me to be of some value. Highfather breaks up a battle between New Genesis and Apokolips with a single blast:

I already posted this in the Darkseid thread for another reason, but check the narration. Highfather's power covers every corner of existence:

Orion is strapped to a machine of Apokolips weilded by Earthmen and his life-force is being drained away to power Metropolis. Eventually, he gets angry and super-charges his power in one big jolt to attempt to free himself. The Earthmen discharge his energies out into the Metropolis sky in order stop his life-force from busting him free. Lightray then absorbs the discharge, preventing it from causing any destruction, and uses the power he's absorbed to set Orion free:

Kalibak
Yeah, he's jobbed a few times. No, he's not quite top tier. BUT, he is not The Rhino; his record is as good as the next class 100 brick's. When he loses, with a few rare exceptions, it's because he's facing someone he should lose to based on his powerset. I'd place his feats next to, say, Ulik's any day.
Let's start it off simple. Kalibak takes a hard left from Superboy (YJ era) with a smile on his face:

To be fair, Kalibak did get KOed by a sucker-punch combo from Kyle and Darkstar Donna Troy right after this. However, when there were no cheap shots, this is how Kyle's fight with Kalibak went:

I'm going to put up some of his better performances against Orion, Lightray, Superman, etc. soon. Along with maybe some Mantis, Brimstone, and Kanto scans.
