History

Originally, information technology was said to have existed in the mind of "Billion Dollar" Bates, who took information technology to his death. Darkseid continued to search for it, and recently obtained the full formula. It implants the mathematical certainty that all life is hopeless and that freedom and hope are futile concepts, dooming those who hear it to despair.

The beginning sign of the Equation came well-nigh 300 years ago, when Darkseid made contact with the Martians. When he learned that Martian philosophy was based on the "Life Equation"--which equals costless volition--he postulated that the contrary must also exist.^[1] Darkseid later focused his attentions on Globe when he discovered humanity possessed fragments of the opposing Equation in their subconscious and conducted experiments on humans over the centuries in an attempt to obtain the full formula.^[two]

The Anti-Life Equation has the power to dominate the will of any sentient race in addition to reality-altering powers that twist and misconstrue liberty over life and decease. It derives its proper noun from the fact that "if someone possesses absolute control over you—y'all're not really alive."^[3] Though the full version of the Equation is barely known to any one person, it supposedly existed in the listen of the billionaire "Billion Dollar" Bates, though he took it to his decease. The Anti-Life Equation was also constitute in the time-displaced Sonny Sumo, according to the Forever People'southward Mother Box.^{[commendation needed]}

After, Darkseid used clones of "Billion Dollar" Bates, made by Desaad, to access the Equation. Orion stopped the clones, gaining the full formula in the procedure, and wanted to use the Equation for good by enforcing goodwill among the populations of Apokolips and Globe, only realized that the very nature of the formula was against complimentary volition and, therefore, voluntary goodwill so he eventually forced himself to relinquish the Equation'due south power.

Mister Miracle knew the total formula but possessed the willpower to not use it. Ane member of Immature Justice, the Empress, possesses pieces of the Equation, giving her express mind command.^{[commendation needed]} The Pied Piper also possesses the formula in his listen and has been using it unknowingly with his sonic energy.^[4] He eventually became a pawn of Desaad so that the New God could utilise the Equation to impale Brother Eye and Darkseid and rule Apokolips.

Decease of the New Gods

Chief article: Expiry of the New Gods

Increasingly unbalanced by the death of his married woman, Big Barda, Mister Miracle decided to utilise the Equation. Afterwards, he became adamant to hunt down the killer of the New Gods. He came face up to face with the entity behind it all, the Source, and was killed himself. It was then revealed that the Anti-Life Equation is an entity that is the dark half of the Source, with which the Source was at present finally reunited. When Darkseid became the terminal of the New Gods, he faced the Source in combat, wherein Darkseid revealed that he had created a serum that allowed him to describe ability straight from the Anti-Life Entity/Equation. Despite this boost in power, in the end Darkseid was as well killed.

Last Crunch

Principal article: Final Crisis

Under the influence of the Equation, individuals are little more extensions of Darkseid's will.

Due to Darkseid's knowledge of the total equation and his volition to use information technology, he made sure he was spiritually reborn in the body of a human on Earth. He became "Dominate Nighttime Side," just the homo crush was not plenty to fully incorporate him and he was eventually killed over again. He then used the spoken word to be reborn again, this time fully, in the torso of Dan "Terrible" Turpin. He besides developed his base on World, warping it and turning the planet into a replica of Apokolips. Now seemingly in control of several billion people through a mass host consciousness, Darkseid used the Equation to turn heroes, civilians, and villains alike into mindless, slavish extensions of his will.

The Equation was ultimately cleaved when Wonder Woman, herself a slave of Anti-Life, was freed of the Equation and spring Darkseid with the Lasso of Truth, thus breaking the Anti-Life Equation's hold on the people of Earth.^[five]

The Equation was broken and its remnants remained on globe, spread across the internet equally fragments of digital lawmaking. Computer tried to retrieve the code to heal his comatose girl and Oracle tried to collect them in an endeavour to completely eliminate them from Earth.^[6] Calculator's fragments of the formula caused people to lose their unabridged immune system and to prevent this use of the Equation, Oracle nullified its furnishings and destroyed the fragments.^[7]

Post-Flashpoint

In the Prime Globe continuity, the Anti-Life Equation--much like the Life Equation opposite of it--functions very differently. Here, the Equation, rather than being just a means of mass possessive command and multiversal reality disruption, is instead used by Yuga Khan as a ways of resurrecting the Old Gods likewise as himself in a host body. According to this host, with a small-scale portion of the Anti-Life, he could feel all of the pain of the New Gods, a pain that only Yuga Khan could heal.^[8]

The Equation itself is the aforementioned as in New Globe, but has more varied applications. Speaking the Equation, Dreamer Beautiful was able to resurrect a dead Marking Moonrider and force the submission of the Femmes Fatales with a give-and-take, but it appears that the Equation is not equally viral equally it was on New World, and now it is required to be stated past select users, rather than existence able to brainwash many.^[nine]

Over fourth dimension, the Anti-Life Equation is further expanded upon by its interactions with Darkseid's daughter, Grail, and the mysterious new Anti-Monitor.^[x] The Equation is revealed to be as much a sentient entity equally it is a formula; one that hails from the Antimatter Universe.

Batman discovered that since the Antimatter Universe and Prime number Earth are opposite counterparts, what is found at the center of both universes is also contrary. At the center of Prime World lies the White Lantern Entity, the living apotheosis of free will, whereas, at the heart of the Antimatter Universe, is the Anti-Life Equation, the antithesis of free will.^[10]

Mobius, a Qwardian scientist, was desperate to larn the surreptitious that gave birth to his universe. Mobius' thirst for the knowledge of his universe's cosmos would be his downfall, as such noesis was forbidden, thus when he laid his optics upon it--the Anti-Life Equation--it forever cursed him, and he transformed into the "Anti-Monitor", the living embodiment of the Anti-Life Equation.^[ten]

Many years afterwards, it was eventually revealed that the Anti-Life Entity was i of many individuals who was influenced by the slumbering Great Darkness as part of its' plans to destroy the Multiverse and impale The Presence albeit it was completely unaware of the fact that information technology was existence controlled by the Great Darkness' influence.

The Formula

loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + cocky-worth ÷ mockery ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding ⋅ guilt ⋅ shame ⋅ failure ⋅ judgment northward=y where y=hope and northward=folly, beloved=lies, life=death, cocky=dark side

The full formula typically manifests itself physically as a series of fiery, inscrutable alien symbols and glyphs which form around the one who uses it, while incomplete fragments are projected as atypical glyphs.^{[2] [11]}

By speaking the Equation, Darkseid tin insert the full formula into people's minds, giving them the mathematical certainty that life, hope, and liberty are all pointless.

Mister Miracle (Shilo Norman) was able to break free from this with the help of Metron, gaining immunity from the Equation in the process.

The only known antidote to the Equation are the concepts of Freedom and Promise; the New Genesis hieroglyph of Freedom, called the Metron Emblem, significantly wears down the formula's ability to dominate other wills, allowing the infected to fight confronting the Equation and win while exposed to the symbol. A Metron Emblem, if large enough, is able to massively disrupt the Anti-Life Equation'due south powers, every bit transmitted through diverse frequencies, and fifty-fifty wear down those wearing Justifier helmets if they are in the vicinity. Flash (Barry Allen), was also able to utilize the Speed Strength to negate the effects of the Equation on a person under its influence.^[12]

Notes

• In Jack Kirby's original comics, the Anti-Life Equation is said to give the being who learns it power to dominate the will of all sentient and sapient races. It is called the Anti-Life Equation because "if someone possesses absolute control over yous—you're not really alive."^[3] Nigh stories featuring the Equation use this concept. A full version of the equation supposedly existed in the mind of the millionaire "Billion Dollar" Bates, but he took it to his death.
• In Jim Starlin's miniseries Cosmic Odyssey (Volume 1), the Anti-Life Equation is revealed equally a living entity, which even Darkseid cannot control, and is subsequently blocked from e'er entering the Milky Way again by Doctor Fate. This version has been referred in Expiry of the New Gods Vol 1 2, and in Justice League Incarnate Vol one 4 as a "puppet" of the Cracking Darkness.
• The JLA (Book 1) story "Rock of Ages" (1997), past Grant Morrison, includes a future in which Darkseid has learned the Anti-Life Equation, and taken command of both New Genesis and World. World'southward population is kept submissive past a abiding broadcast of the Equation.
• In JLA Annual #ii, written by Ty Templeton, Felix Faust explains that an aboriginal wizard, maddened past his resurrection, plans a spell that will "remove the life frequency from the universe". Superman calls this the Anti-Life Equation.
• During the "Emperor Joker" storyline, in Superman: Emperor Joker (2000), the Joker gains control of the power of Mister Mxyzptlk. Darkseid himself states about this that the Joker has stumbled onto the Anti-Life Equation, which might imply that the Anti-Life Equation may have something to do with the power wielded past the 5th-Dimensional imps such as Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite, perhaps even that the imps are able to perform their reality-defying pranks simply because they know the Anti-Life Equation.
• In Walt Simonson's Orion (Volume 1) (2001), it is revealed that Darkseid and Desaad take gained the Equation from clones of Billion Dollar Bates. In stopping them, Orion learns the Equation, and tries to employ it to brand people happy and good, but realizes that the suppression of free volition is always a bad affair. Information technology is later revealed that Mister Miracle knows the formula, just is one of the few people with the willpower not to utilise it.
• John Ostrander's Martian Manhunter (Volume 2) serial (2001) reveals that, long ago, Darkseid learned of the Martian philosophy that free volition could be described by a "Life Equation". This led him to consider that there must be a negative corollary to this equation.
• In the World's Funnest Elseworlds one-shot (2001), created by Evan Dorkin and a diversity of artists, a conflict between Bat-Mite and Mister Mxyzptlk inadvertently destroys the DCU, (including many Pre-Crisis worlds). When they destroy Apokolips, the sole survivor is Darkseid, who is left floating in space with a piece of newspaper with the equation drawn on it; the paper has a diagram to the consequence of "Mister Mxyzptlk + Bat-Mite = Anti-life". This causes Darkseid to laugh uncontrollably.
• In 7 Soldiers: Mister Miracle (2005), past Grant Morrison, Darkseid (or Dark Side, as he now calls himself) has gained total control of the Anti-Life Equation. By speaking, he can insert the full formula into people's minds, giving them the mathematical certainty that life, hope and freedom are all pointless. Shilo Norman (the current Mister Phenomenon) is able to break free from this with the aid of Metron. However, it is unsaid that these events did not happen in the main reality, but in a tangent universe inside a blackness hole.
• In the animated serial Justice League Unlimited, during an assault on Earth by Darkseid and the armies of Apokolips, Lex Luthor is taken into The Source by Metron. But every bit Darkseid is on the verge of killing Superman, Lex Luthor returns from The Source and reveals the Anti-Life Equation, shown as a glowing, swirling low-cal in the palm of his paw, to Darkseid. Darkseid places a hand over the glow, Lex places a manus on Darkseid's hand, both agreeing that the equation "is cute", and they both disappear.
• In the picture, Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe, starring Jesse Ventura, the villain Secundus (Sven-Ole Thorsen) sought the apply of the Anti-Life Equation (which patently possessed the same significance as its DC analogue). The picture show also featured an Answer Box, a device similar to a Mother Box.
• In the Elseworlds story Superman: The Dark Side (1998) Darkseid raises Kal-El as his own (evil) son and afterwards finds that Krypton had been in possession of the Anti-Life Equation earlier it was destroyed and Jor-El had sent it with his son so that he could use it to subjugate World and create a new Krypton. Darkseid finds it and builds a series of towers which broadcast "...the ANTI-LIFE EQUATION which obliterates free will and individual identity".
