Anti-Monitor controls a whole lot of universes, lives, and planets. He is one of the most iconic - if not the most iconic - DC supervillains of all time thanks to his singular desire of owning universes, absorbing their power, and becoming stronger.
There is always this debate over who is stronger between Darkseid and Anti-Monitor, and who is the one the Justice League would rather not face. It is difficult to compare the two, but it should be stated that Anti-Monitor is the one who caused the Crisis on Infinite Earths, which, to date, is the biggest event in the history of DC Comics. Here are some of the unknown superpowers Anti-Monitor possesses.
10 Size Alteration & Changing His Form However He Sees Fit
Size alteration can be best described as the ability to change bodily mass, volume, and height at will. Anti-Monitor is a being whose physical existence is defined by the energy he has gained over the years. He can change his physical form in whichever way he sees fit. This not only helps in intimidation, but it also makes beating the DC supervillain an extremely daunting task. Manipulation of bodily size is a power possessed by a lot of celestial beings.
9 Genius-Level Intellect With Universal Awareness
Anti-Monitor has universal awareness. He isn't nigh-omnipotent, but he knows all the goings-on in the cosmos. He is as old as the universe and over the years, he has done nothing but gain knowledge. Genius-level intellect can be easily confused as something very normal when it isn't. Someone like Anti-Monitor always looks at the bigger picture and he can come up with instant solutions for any precarious situation he finds himself in.
8 Nigh-Invulnerability With Armor That Is Almost Unbreakable
Anti-Monitor has one of the most peculiar anatomical structures. He is made out of pure uncensored energy. He wears armor around himself to contain all that energy and this armor is almost unbreakable. There are very few beings in the DC Universe who can stand up to Anti-Monitor, let alone hurt him.
A whole army of superheroes struggled to do anything to draw out any reaction from him. Even the Spectre, who is widely regarded as the most overpowered superhero of all time, was unable to put him down.
7 Antimatter Manipulation With Unlimited Potential
Anti-Monitor was made to look after the antimatter universe. He can draw any amounts of cosmic antimatter energy he likes and use it to his advantage. His most known attack is the antimatter blast. This beam of high-octane energy is capable of breaking down matter to the basic level. Unless anyone finds a solution to Anti-Monitor's unlimited reserve of antimatter manipulation, the Justice League and every other superhero in the DC Universe is going to struggle to put up with him.
6 Perceives Dimensions Differently Than Mortals & Can Travel Across Them
Anti-Monitor perceives dimensions differently than mortals. To him, it is very easy to travel from one dimension to another. He comes from the Antimatter Universe and he once took the Earth from the Positive Matter Universe to the Antimatter Universe. There are certain beings in the DC Universe capable of dimensional travel but traveling to say Hell or Heaven is much easier compared to the places Anti-Monitor travels to. For instance, a huge explosion occurs when someone travels from the Antimatter Universe to the Positive Matter Universe.
5 Has Consumed Many Universes With His Energy Absorption
This is something that comes naturally to the DC supervillain. He has consumed hundreds and thousands of universes by devouring them of energy. He can take in as much energy as he likes. He can drain not only universes but also singular superheroes of their respective energies. This ability, combined with invulnerability, make him a near-invisible supervillain. It is almost impossible to find a way to gain an advantage over Anti-Monitor.
4 Energy Construct Creation To Make Matter Out Of Thin Air
Energy construct creation is the ability to create matter out of thin air. Because Anti-Monitor can manipulate various types of energies, he has the ability to not only absorb it but also use it to create whatever he desires.
This superpower is not exclusive to Anti-Monitor as Green Lanterns are well-known for creating matter, using their rings and willpower. The ability to create matter should not be taken lightly
3 Power Distribution To Strengthen His Supporters Or Overwhelm His Enemies
Energy manipulation is not the only thing Anti-Monitor is good at. He can also use his skills to increase the power of another being by an exponential level. He can either use this ability to make his supporters stronger or he can use it against his enemy. Anti-Monitor can easily provide a DC superhero with the energy he or she cannot handle. This superpower is heavily underrated, just like Darkseid's ability to drain the energy out of anyone.
2 Reality Manipulation With Play With The Minds Of His Opponents
One of Anti-Monitor's greatest superpowers is reality alteration. Although he might have the power to alter reality on a larger scale, he has shown that he can cast illusions on anyone he wishes. If Anti-Monitor's brute strength isn't enough, he can also play with his opponents' minds. If there's anything Darkseid would like to borrow from Anti-Monitor's arsenal of powers, it would be reality manipulation. It's very difficult to plan against these kinds of physics-defying powers.
1 Resurrection & The Inability To Be Completely Wiped From Reality
Anti-Monitor is someone who looks after the Antimatter Universe. So as long as the Antimatter Universe exists, Anti-Monitor will never be completely wiped out of reality. He is not immortal, per se, as he can put in a position where his entire energy pool is drained. But he can instantly go back to the Antimatter Universe where his powers will be back again. He is a being whose existence cannot be defined in mortal terms. He was meant to do good things, but the lust for power was too much for him.
