History
Early Existence
Mobius was created by a Super Celestial named Perpetua in the Sixth Dimension
alongside his brothers Mar Novu and Alpheus. Perpetua had been sent from the
greater Omniverse to build a new Multiverse, and the three brothers were its first
inhabitants. Perpetua explained to the three children that her Multiverse comprised
three main realms made out of the three basic forms of matter: dark matter, rich
with potential; positive matter, firm and constant; and anti-matter, all-destroying
and corrosive. The three had been created to monitor these realms. Alpheus was
tasked with monitoring the dark matter realm beneath creation where he would be a
mighty World Forger, building the myriad worlds and universes of creation. Mar Novu
was tasked with monitoring the positive matter realm, where he would guard the many
universes that rose out of the dark from cosmic crises. The last brother, Mobius,
was made Novu's opposite, tasked with making sure the light of creation did not
breach the greater Omniverse.[1]

After discovering that Perpetua's prolonged existence defied her natural function,
Mar Novu gathered his brothers to oppose their mother. They met up in the
Promethean Galaxy, where they attempted to contact the Judges of the Source in
order to alert them of Perpetua's crimes. Perpetua's forces attacked the brothers,
but an envoy of the Source, in the form of a Raptor, imprisoned Pepetua inside a
wall made of her own legions. Due to the wall making his domain obsolete, Mobius
vowed to kill his brother Mar Novu, even if it took a billion years. The three
brothers then reformed on their respective dimensions.

Reborn
Reborn on the planet Qward, Mobius was a seeker of knowledge and scientific genius
who built a device known as the Mobius Chair in order to learn the secret that gave
birth to the creation of his universe. Mobius was also ruthless in pursuit of his
goals and was a killer who murdered many people.[2] Mobius' thirst for the
knowledge of his universe's creation would be his downfall, as such knowledge was
forbidden, thus when he laid his eyes upon it—the Anti-Life Equation—he was forever
cursed by it, and transformed into the "Anti-Monitor", the living embodiment of the
Anti-Life Equation.[3] He lashed out in pain and became a destroyer of universes.
[4]

Some time after that, he met a New God, known as Metron, to whom he willingly gave
his universe-traveling Mobius Chair.[5]

Millennia later, the Anti-Monitor visited a parallel universe's Krypton, where the
malignant Jor-Il set into motion events that drew his ire for their entire race. He
destroyed the planet, leaving nothing alive. However, Jor-Il was able to send his
only son, Kal-Il, away from Krypton towards the planet Earth before his demise. In
sending his son away, Jor-Il hoped to lay the seeds for revenge against the Anti-
Monitor.

In the future, the Anti-Monitor defeats Kal-Il and his allies in the Crime
Syndicate, destroying everything on Earth as he did on Krypton. The Syndicate
abandons Earth and tries to travel between universes to find one they can
subjugate, but become stuck between universes. Only Alfred Pennyworth, going by the
alias of the Outsider, and Atomica, manage to escape their prison when the Justice
League forces Darkseid through a Boom-Tube.[6]

Some time after Anti-Monitor destroyed Earth 3, he encountered Grail, the powerful
daughter of the malevolent Dark God Darkseid, who informed him that he could free
himself from the Anti-Life Equation by killing Darkseid, during which time reality
would fracture and the line between gods and men would blur, which would allow him
to separate himself from the Equation.[4] They became allies, and she helped him
prepare for his coming war against Darkseid.

When the rest of the Syndicate invaded the parallel Earth, the true nature of the
entity who destroyed their world is revealed. They initially claimed that they
destroyed their homeworld when its citizens rose up against the them, forcing the
Syndicate to destroy the planet. This was revealed to be a lie, and it's shown that
their world was destroyed by an alien entity that none of them could stop: none
other than the Anti-Monitor. They had arrived to Prime Earth in an effort to hide
from him.

To the dismay of the Syndicate, following the death of Power Ring by Sinestro, his
Power Ring sent reverberations throughout the Multiverse, something Kal-Il worried
may alert the Anti-Monitor to the Syndicate's location. But before he could do
anything about it, the Injustice League came into conflict with the Syndicate,
resulting in the deaths of Deathstorm, Atomica, and Johnny Quick, as well as the
incarcerations of Ultraman and Superwoman. (Owlman, however, eluded the Injustice
League and was believed to be in hiding.)[7]

When the Justice League, having reconvenes after being freed from Firestorm,
discussed how best to approach whatever entity destroyed the Crime Syndicate's
world, whom they supposedly believed to be Darkseid—a fact which they do not yet
know to be very wrong—Cyborg suggests they find the Ring of Volthoom: he reasons
that if the ring is similar in nature to that of a Green Lantern Ring, it would
have a combat log detailing Harold Jordan and the Syndicate's clashes with the
Anti-Monitor. The trouble, though, would be finding the ring's location.

The League does eventually find the ring, but not before the Doom Patrol does. The
ring has found a new host in Jessica Cruz, and creates a green fire large enough to
be seen across the Multiverse, fulfilling the Syndicate's fears. Niles Caulder,
intent on stopping the Power Ring by killer her, is in turn murdered by Lex Luthor,
who's plan of merely subduing her succeeds. Batman appears and, relieving Jessica
her fears, they effectively shut down the ring. The Ring attempts to warn Batman of
the Anti-Monitor, but it is shut down before it can explain the true
obious
