10 Justice League Moments That Shocked The World

The Source Wall is a structure that encircles each universe in the DC multiverse. For decades, fans have speculated what lies beyond the Wall and what would happen if it was ever breached.

And in 2018, they finally got their answer. When Barbatos the Dark God shattered the Source Wall, he released the creator of the multiverse, Perpetua. Disappointed by how her universes turned out, she prepared to destroy the multiverse and recreate it in her image.

During this story arc, it was also revealed that every Crisis over the years was manufactured by Perpetua to undo reality.

This was a shocking revelation since Perpetua had been teased all the way back in Green Lantern #40 in 1965 when readers saw her hand weaving reality into existence. Not only was her big reveal an excellent payoff to a 38-year-long mystery, she was also the most powerful enemy the Justice League ever faced.

In fact, Perpetua proved to be so almighty, a godlike group called the Quintessence knew the League couldn't beat her so they faked the team's deaths to give them time to form a plan to defeat her.
