During the civil war following the death of Darkseid, Bernadeth sided with Granny Goodness against Virman Vundabar. Bernadeth was on the field of battle, leading Granny's forces against Vundabar's, when Darkseid reappeared in the middle of the battle between the two armies. Though shocked at his return, Bernadeth retained enough of her wits to welcome him home. After Darkseid informed his subjects what had happened, Bernadeth asked Darkseid's will, which he explained was revenge against Superman by destroying Earth.
