What is the Anti-Life Equation?
The Watcher – This has had many interpretations in the hands and minds of many creators. Originally, Jack Kirby suggested that the Anti-Life Equation was a concept which, when properly solved, would give the solver absolute mental control over everyone in the universe. Some humans held parts of the Anti-Life Equation in their minds, which was one of the reasons Darkseid expanded his war into Earth. The partial owners of Anti-Life Equation nowledge, such as Billion-Dollar Bates, used it often to amass power for themselves. For all his searching, Darkseid has never been able (as far as I know) to solve the equation. Others, Jim Starlin among them, have chosen to present Anti-Life as a destructive force. Chris Reilly – If Darkseid figures it out, he can enslave the universe. Thad Doria – The elimination of free will. It is the ultimate goal of Darkseid that there be no will but his own throughout the universe. This has had many interpretations in the hands and minds of many creators. Orig
