When the Black Central Power Battery is later brought to Earth, the Anti-Monitor stirs within, demanding to be let out, and begins draining Dove's energy to escape.<ref>''Blackest Night'' #7 (February 2010)</ref> The Anti-Monitor is reanimated as a Black Lantern independent from Nekron's control, his undead body beginning to emerge from the Black Lantern battery. Upon analysis, Green Lantern Guy Gardner ascertains that Nekron is using the Anti-Monitor as the energy source of the Black Lantern Power Battery to power the Black Lantern Corps. The Anti-Monitor is attacked by the various Lantern Corps just as he is about to free himself from the battery. Combining their energies, the various Lantern Corps use Dove as a human bullet shooting the Anti-Monitor through the head, with the Black Lantern battery recovering him to continue siphoning his energy.<ref>''Green Lantern Corps'' (vol. 2) #46 (March 2010).

The Anti-Monitor is eventually resurrected by a White Power Ring and breaks free of the battery, fighting Nekron in revenge for imprisoning him. Nekron then banishes the Anti-Monitor to the anti-matter universe.<ref>''Blackest Night'' #8 (March 2010). DC Comics</ref>
