The Justice League held a Mother Box in their Watchtower base where it was heavily protected. Brainiac used a number of disasters around the Earth as a distraction in order to enter the Watchtower and steal the Mother Box. Once stolen, it left a trail for the Justice League to follow in order to retrieve the Box once more. This was because it was afraid of what Brainiac wanted to use it for.
Brainiac had been guided to steal the Mother Box by a mysterious voice he heared from a meteor fragment. After being defeated by the League, Brainiac seemed to come back to life; reborn. However, a moment later, he disappeared and was replaced by a reconstituted Darkseid who had been manipulating him all along in order to free himself from his extradimensional prison. Using the Mother Box with a Sensory Matrix Field Generator, Darkseid reformed the planet Earth into a New Apokolips.
The Justice League were seemingly killed by Darkseids Omega Beams but the Mother Box saved them by transporting them to another dimension with subtle clues on how to get back. Furthermore, the Mother Box had sent them to another dimension in order for the Green Lantern John Stewart to gather ambient energy waves which he distributed to his comrades to protect them from further Omega Beam attacks.
Once defeated, the Justice League asked the Mother Box to reverse the damage to Earth.

Justice League Heroes Continuity
Within the game, the Mother Box was described by John Stewart as a mini-computer that was so intelligent that it was alive. The use of a Mother Box with that of a Sensory Matrix Field Generator allowed a user to reshape an entire planet to their will.
The Green Lantern expressed some doubt though on whether Brainiac was smart enough to completely reprogram the machine. While it was bound to serve its controller, the Box did have its own agendas and was capable of leaving subtle clues to aid others. This made it capable of tricking its master though in actual affect, the Mother Box possessed its own agenda.
