==Fictional character biography==

===Origins===

 

During the ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'', it was revealed how the existence of all [[Parallel universe (fiction)|parallel universes]] in the [[Multiverse (DC Comics)|Multiverse]] came to be, including the positive matter multiverse and also the anti-matter universe, and how the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor came into existence; when the menace posed by the Anti-Monitor became apparent, several villains were sent back in time to stop him, but were defeated by Krona and the other Oans.{{Citation needed|date=March 2011}} In a [[Ganthet|final revision]], it was established that it increased [[entropy]] in the universe, shortening its existence by a [[1,000,000,000 (number)|billion]] years (see [[heat death of the universe|heat death]]).<ref>''Green Lantern'' version 4</ref> In any event, two beings were created, one on the moon of [[Oa]] and the other on the moon of Qward. On the moon of Oa, the being known as the [[Monitor (comics)|Monitor]] was instantly aware of his counterpart, the Anti-Monitor (although his official name is the Monitor in his own universe, and he is often addressed as such, the name Anti-Monitor is used to distinguish him from his heroic positive matter counterpart). By this time the Anti-Monitor had quickly conquered Qward, as well as the rest of the Antimatter universe.{{Citation needed|date=March 2011}} In searching for other places to conquer, he also became aware of his counterpart. These two beings battled for a million years, unleashing great powers against each other, but to no avail. At the end of their stalemate, they simultaneously attacked one another, rendering both inert for nine billion years.{{Citation needed|date=March 2011}}
