The netherverse, also known as the antimatter universe or the antiverse, is the antimatter counterpart of the multiverse. It is where Mobius, the Anti-Monitor, originated from.
History
Mobius and the shadow demons originated in the netherverse. Barry Allen was sent there by Mar Novu. He was eventually found by Mobius, calling himself the Anti-Monitor, and used him for his own purposes.[1]
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 dangerous nature of the weapon, the Weaponers sealed the Anti-Matter Man within the core of a moon.[2]
By 2018, the Anti-Matter Man escaped his confinement and began traveling through the multiverse in order to invade the other Earths.[2]
