The Ant-Monitor is one of the most infamous and legendary figures in the entire DC Universe, having once led the charge to end the entire multiverse in the groundbreaking Crisis on Infinite Earths, which forced speedster Barry Allen to sacrifice himself to save the last reality standing in his wake.
In that comic it was explained how DC's multiverse came into being, and how there were two sets of parallel multiverses: one comprised entirely of positive matter, and the other made entirely from anti-matter. The positive reality, the DC multiverse most are familiar with, had its own monitor, but out of the darker multiverse came its complete opposite.
This Anti-Monitor fed off of the positive energy emitted by the universes he ended up destroying, but the main point here is that the creature is billions and billions of years old. Just one battle, which he and the heroic Monitor had prior to the events of the first Crisis, placed him into stasis for nine billion years.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
