===The New 52=== The Anti-Monitor was introduced in [[The New 52]] (a 2011 reboot of the DC Comics universe) in the final page of the ''[[Forever Evil]]'' storyline. It is revealed to the reader as the being which destroyed Ultraman's Krypton and Earth 3. As he is seen finishing off Earth 3, the Anti-Monitor declares "Darkseid shall be mine."<ref>''Forever Evil'' #7. DC Comics</ref> The Anti-Monitor has found the Prime Earth by tracking [[Power Ring (character)|Volthoom]]'s energy signature. He was also responsible for blinding Martian Manhunter's Earth 3 counterpart by burning out his eyes and destroying one of his arms beyond repair.<ref>''Justice League'' (vol. 2) #33. DC Comics</ref> When Metron confronted the Anti-Monitor amidst the ruins of Earth 3, it was revealed the Anti-Monitor was the former owner of Metron's traveling device, the Mobius Chair, and is its namesake. He intends to make up for an unknown wrong he regrets, and to this end intends to kill Darkseid with the help of the latter's daughter Grail.<ref>''Justice League'' (vol. 2) #40. DC Comics</ref><ref>''Divergence'' #1 (2015). DC Comics</ref> With Grail's help, the Anti-Monitor attacks the Justice League on Prime Earth while waiting for Darkseid as he was promised by Grail.<ref>''Justice League'' (vol. 2) #41. DC Comics</ref> It is eventually revealed that Mobius became what he is after attempting to peer into the origins of the anti-matter universe on [[Qward]], similar to how [[Krona (comics)|Krona]] sought the origins of his positive-matter universe. While the White Light of the Life Equation was the origin of the positive universe, it is the Anti-Life Equation that serves as the foundation of the anti-matter universe, and Mobius released it from within the world of Qward, transforming him into the Anti-Monitor. With the Anti-Life Equation in his body, Anti-Monitor has the ability to enslave any living thing to his will. He uses this power to bind the [[Black Racer (DC Comics)|Black Racer]] to the [[Barry Allen|Flash]], enslaving the New God and using him to kill Darkseid.<ref>''Justice League'' (vol. 2) #44. DC Comics</ref> Having killed Darkseid, the Anti-Monitor envelops himself in an energy shell and separates from the Anti-Life Equation, which Grail claims.<ref>''Justice League'' (vol. 2) #46. DC Comics</ref> Shortly afterward, he emerged from his shell changed into a more human-looking form, once again Mobius, but still possessing vast power and legions of Shadow Demons.<ref>''Justice League'' (vol. 2) #47. DC Comics</ref> Superwoman and Wonder Woman attempt to subdue him together with their respective lassos: one compelling him to be truthful, the other to obey, but he defies and defeats both. Ultraman, re-empowered with [[kryptonite]], engages Mobius, but is swiftly defeated and killed.<ref>''Justice League'' (vol. 2) #48. DC Comics</ref> Next, Mobius is attacked by Lex Luthor, now wielding the Omega Force formerly belonging to Darkseid, as well as an army of Shadow Demons. Even now, fighting Luthor as well as the Justice League and the Crime Syndicate, Mobius has the upper hand until Grail, Darkseid's daughter, appears with Steve Trevor in tow. She has transferred the Anti-Life to him, making him into a new vessel for its power. Now basically a living weapon under Grail's control, Trevor releases a tremendous blast of power against Mobius, reducing him to a skeleton.<ref>''Justice League'' (vol. 2) #49. DC Comics</ref>
