If you consider that the New Gods (as a comic series) only began because Kirby left Marvel and wanted to continue his Thor storyline, that introduces some new elements as well. Maybe Asgard and New Genesis/Apokolips are related in some way, with "magic space gods" being sister-races, related somehow.

I kind of went the Thor route, with the story elements implemented in the God Butcher arc. Honestly it doesn't really need addressed unless someone applies as them and at that point it is their choice.
