DC does its best to get more obscure characters into the limelight by crossing over their lesser-known characters into more famous shows like 'Teen Titans' or 'Young Justice'.

The New Gods are just one set of characters that make frequent guest appearances on these animated shows in DC's attempt to familiarize fans with the characters, by providing crucial backstories in order to legitimize their slightly less famous superheroes.
