- "There is no planet Earth in the antiverse, but there is a world called Qward. Qward is a place of pure malevolence, and Anti-Matter Man is a walking, living expression of evil. He is more than a hundred meters tall, and beyond the considerable powers he possesses, in a positive matter universe, his mere touch brings explosive decay and death. The Weaponers of Qward created Anti-Matter Man as a weapon, to be used in an invasion of the positive matter universes. But so great and terrible was his power that even the Weaponers feared him. And so they locked away their creation, sealing him within the core of a moon."
- —The Phantom Stranger about the Anti-Matter Man's origin to Barry Allen[src]
The Anti-Matter Man was a weapon originated from Qward in the antiverse whose goal was to invade the positive matter universes. He caused a crisis in 2018 and was ultimately destroyed by Supergirl's Super Flare on Earth-38A.
History[]
Creation[]
At some point, the Weaponers of Qward created the Anti-Matter Man as a weapon to invade the positive matter universes. However, due to the dangers of the Anti-Matter Man, the Weaponers sealed him within the core of a moon.[1]
Crisis of 2018[]
Destroying Earth-27A[]
At some point, the Time Trapper freed the Anti-Matter Man from his confinement and he started to target the positive matter universes. In 2018, the Anti-Matter Man arrived on Earth-27A, where his presence started to intoxicate the atmosphere, killing all of its residents except a few thousand speedsters in Central City and the Crime Syndicate of America, who escaped through an interdimensional breach to Earth-1A.[1]
Attempt to invade Earth-1A[]
After destroying Earth-27A, the Anti-Matter Man opened a breach toward Earth-1A but due to his low speed, it took him some time to reach it. This gave time to the heroes of this world to create a plan and with the help of Green Arrow's "perfect shot", the breach was closed preventing the Anti-Matter Man to enter the universe.[1]
Original timeline[]
According to the history of Earth-∂, the day the Anti-Matter Man arrived on Earth-38A was the day Supergirl dies as she sacrificed herself in order to destroy the Anti-Matter Man.[2]
Current timeline[]
Supergirl's sacrifice[]
After failing to reach Earth-1A, the Time Trapper opened a breach for the Anti-Matter Man in order to invade Earth-38A. It managed to enter this world's atmosphere, which caused it to decay, making a part of Smallville uninhabitable. After multiple attempt to attack the Anti-Matter Man, Supergirl flew at high speed toward the Anti-Matter Man and when it hit it, it caused it to explode. Compared to the original timeline, Supergirl fell in a coma afterward.[2]
