Cataclysmic Cosmic Entity

“	As always, he proves the incompetent fool for not accepting the inevitable! When I am done, all his universes shall be destroyed... while mine shall rule supreme! Universe after universe has fallen before my power. World after world is absorbed into one. How many worlds do I now control? How many lives are now mine?	„
	~ Anti-Monitor.

“	My curse. My destiny. My reason. It no longer matters. As you are now the witness, I am the Destroyer.	„
	~ Anti-Monitor.

“	No hope. No mercy. The universe you knew is nothing but a memory and I have no intention of leaving anyone alive to honor it.	„
	~ Anti-Monitor

The Anti-Monitor is one of the main antagonists of the DC Universe, first specifically appearing as the main antagonist of the 1985 storyline Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Hailing from one of the moons of Qward in the Antimatter Universe, the Anti-Monitor is the brother and polar opposite of the Monitor, both created when the universe split into the Multiverse as both the son of Perpetua and a result of the Maltusian scientist Krona tampering with time. Despising everything that wasn't him, the Anti-Monitor sought to destroy the Multiverse one reality at a time by initiating an "entropy wave", a slow-moving wave of antimatter that obliterated every alternate Earth. He is one of the main antagonists of the Justice League franchise (alongside Darkseid, Lex Luthor, Brainiac and Vandal Savage) and a major antagonist in the Green Lantern franchise. He is the arch-nemesis of the Monitor, the Justice League, the Green Lantern Corps, and the entire multiverse.

Following the first reboot of the DC Universe, dubbed Post-Crisis, and despite his corporeal form's destruction, his physical body drifted in the very outer corners of the universe, eventually located by Alexander Luthor, Jr., Superboy-Prime, and Earth-2 Superman, who all saw the potential of using his body to create a "dimensional tuning tower" to begin recreating the destroyed worlds. However, this was foiled and the tower was destroyed. Following the actual rebirth of the Multiverse, during the 2009 storyline Blackest Night, the cosmic embodiment of death Nekron began using Black Power Rings to create the Black Lantern Corps. Eventually, the Anti-Monitor was resurrected during this event.

After a second reboot of reality due to a paradox accidentally caused by the Flash (Barry Allen), a new timeline called the New 52 came into being, and the Anti-Monitor's history was altered, having been an alien scientist named Mobius, who had created the New God Metron's Mobius Chair. Eventually gaining godlike power through antimatter, Mobius became a member of the New Gods and began wreaking havoc as he had in realities before. During the 2014 storyline The Darkseid War, he and Darkseid went into battle, which ended with Darkseid's death and allowed the Anti-Monitor to revert into Mobius simply so he could kill his enemies more personally.

Powers and Abilities[]

Anti-Monitor is one of the most formidable foes ever faced by the heroes of the DC Universe (or Multiverse, as it was then and now). One of the most powerful beings in the DC Multiverse, he is directly responsible for more deaths than any other known DC supervillain, having managed to destroy an infinite amount of universes. He was powerful enough to kill a distracted Supergirl almost effortlessly, though it could be suggested that when the universe "restarted", most of the deaths attributed to him, in effect, never happened. He consumed thousands of positive matter universes to increase his power, and was able to personally battle scores of the multiverse's strongest heroes simultaneously.

The Anti-Monitor was also responsible for the death of Barry Allen, the hero better known as The Flash. After capturing Barry because his ability to traverse the multiverse unaided made him a dangerous variable, the Anti-Monitor created an Antimatter cannon that would destroy the five remaining earths with a concentrated beam much faster than the wave of entropy he had originally unleashed. The cannon was destroyed by The Flash when he escaped and forced the energies of the weapon's power source into itself, causing it to explode and Barry to disintegrate.

In addition to possessing vast size (varying from several meters to hundreds of meters), superhuman strength, extraordinary durability (by the end of the Crisis series he was able to effortlessly withstand blows from Superman, and even surviving a blue star going supernova), the ability to project destructive bolts of energy, and greatly augmenting another beings' powers (as he did with Psycho-Pirate, whose powers were increased to levels too much for him to handle), the Anti-Monitor also possessed reality-warping abilities, which he displayed by removing Psycho-Pirate's face. The Anti-Monitor also commanded an army of Qwardians and shadow demons, and had access to highly advanced technology capable of shifting, merging, or destroying entire universes.

By far, his most devastating power was the ability to absorb the energies of his surroundings into himself — he created antimatter and made it collapse with matter, turning the positive matter universes into energy and then absorbing them. In addition to devouring the energies of untold numbers of universes, he also absorbed the energy of "over one million worlds" in his own antimatter universe in order to gain the power to travel to the beginning of time, to attempt to stop the creation of the positive matter universe. When Earth's heroes followed him to the beginning of time, he then absorbed all of their power and energy; this made him strong enough to alter the creation of the universe until he was opposed by The Spectre, a being with powers equivalent to that of God. During his final battle in Crisis on Infinite Earths #12, the Anti-Monitor maintained his power by "feeding on" a nearby star; and when his power was drained and he was reduced to a state of near-death, he absorbed his own antimatter demons to rejuvenate himself.

Crisis on Infinite Earths[]

Pariah performed an experiment similar Krona's on a parallel Earth, it reawakened both the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor and destroyed Pariah's universe. It was there that the Anti-Monitor rebuilt his army, took over Qward and using the Thunderers as his own private army, as well as creating the Shadow Demons from the elite of the Thunderers. The Anti-Monitor then released a massive anti-matter wave, absorbing the energies of the destroyed positive matter universes and growing stronger even as the Monitor grew weaker. He employed Psycho-Pirate, using his emotion control powers, to terrorize the populations of the planets he sought to conquer and destroy. The Monitor, along with his aide Harbinger, gathered a group of heroes and villains from various alternate universes to fight the Anti-Monitor. However, one of Harbinger's duplicates was taken control of by the Anti-Monitor and killed the Monitor, but the Monitor planned this and used his death to create a pocket universe to contain the remaining realities from the Anti-Monitor's attack.

When the heroes tried to defeat the Anti-Monitor the first time, Supergirl dies but manages to destroy his body, forcing him to make another one with a different appearance for himself. Then the Anti-Monitor and tries to use an antimatter cannon to penetrate the limbo universe and destroy the five partially merged Earths. However, the Flash, who's been the Anti-Monitor's prisoner for most of the story, destroys the cannon, but also dies as well. It was there that the Anti-Monitor absorbed the entirety of the anti-matter universe and traveled to the beginning of time, intending to create a complete anti-matter universe. When the heroes followed him there, he began to drain the power from most of them. The Spectre decided to send the heroes against the Anti-Monitor and the villains to stop Krona from creating the multiverse.

However, the actions of the Spectre, empowered by the sorcerers of the surviving Earths, brought the Anti-Monitor to a stalemate. The villains of said Earths, sent to stop Krona from viewing the origins of the universe, failed due to squabbling, allowing Krona to see the hands of the Anti-Monitor and the Spectre struggling for domination, which collapsed the current Multiverse. After struggling, the Spectre creates an energy overload against the Anti-Monitor which shatters space and time. At the same time, Krona looks into the past, as the villains have failed, causing a new, singular universe to be created.

Just as people try to get adjusted to the newly singular Earth, the Anti-Monitor, draws the new Earth into the anti-matter universe, intending to destroy this last bastion of positive matter once and for all. Many heroes and villains lost their lives against the Anti-Monitor's forces. Finally, the Anti-Monitor falls into a trap where Darkseid fires his power through Alexander Luthor, Jr., which reduces the Anti-Monitor into a flaming head where Kal-L delivers the final blow, destroying the Anti-Monitor by punching him into a star.
