Anti-Monitor
The Anti-Monitor is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He served as the main antagonist of the 1985 DC Comics miniseries Crisis on Infinite Earths and later appears as an enemy to the Green Lantern Corps and the Justice League.
In 2009, Anti-Monitor was ranked as IGN's 49th-greatest comic book villain of all time.
LaMonica Garrett portrayed the character as the main antagonist in the Arrowverse crossover "Crisis on Infinite Earths", as well as the Monitor.
The Anti-Monitor first appeared in Crisis on Infinite Earths #2 (although he remained in shadow until Crisis on Infinite Earths #5) and was created by Marv Wolfman, George Pérez, and Jerry Ordway. He was believed to have been destroyed in Crisis on Infinite Earths #12, only to return after a long absence in Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special #1 (August 2007).
During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was revealed how the existence of all parallel universes in the Multiverse came to be, including the positive matter multiverse and also the anti-matter universe, and how the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor came into existence; when the menace posed by the Anti-Monitor became apparent, several villains were sent back in time to stop him, but were defeated by Krona and the other Oans. Two beings were created, one on the moon of Oa and the other on the moon of Qward. On the moon of Oa, the being known as the Monitor was instantly aware of his counterpart, the Anti-Monitor. By this time the Anti-Monitor had quickly conquered Qward, as well as the rest of the anti-matter universe. In searching for other places to conquer, he also became aware of his counterpart. These two beings battled for a million years, unleashing great powers against each other, but to no avail. At the end of their stalemate, they simultaneously attacked one another, rendering both inert for nine billion years.
In Final Crisis, it was revealed that, in the wake of the birth of the original Multiverse, an unfathomable being of limitless imagination, the original Monitor, or Overmonitor, became aware of the life germinating in the multiverse, occupying the void space in which he resided and which he encompassed. Curious about it and wanting to interact with and know better the lesser life-forms birthed by the Multiverse, he fashioned a probe, a smaller Monitor. Unprepared to deal with the complexity of life and the passing of time, the probe split into two symmetrical, opposite beings: the Monitor, embodying the positive matter and goodness, and the Anti-Monitor, embodying anti-matter and evil.
In more modern times, Pariah performs an experiment to view the multiverse, similar to the one Krona attempted long ago.[citation needed] This results in the reawakening of both the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor and the destruction of Pariah's universe.[citation needed] The Anti-Monitor rebuilds his army, taking over Qward and using the Thunderers and the Shadow Demons as an army.[citation needed]
The Anti-Monitor releases a massive anti-matter wave, absorbing the energies of destroyed positive matter universes and growing stronger as the Monitor weakens.[citation needed] The Monitor, along with his aide Harbinger, gathers a group of heroes and villains from various alternate universes to combat the Anti-Monitor. One of Harbinger's duplicates is controlled by the Anti-Monitor and kills the Monitor. Before his death, the Monitor creates a pocket universe to contain the remaining realities from the Anti-Monitor's attack.
