- "In my dream, the world had suffered a terrible disaster. A black haze shut out the sun, and the darkness was alive with the moans and screams of wounded people. Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed and blew it out."
- ― Joker (DC Comics)
- "He is the cosmic conqueror, the destroyer of worlds. A being of infinite power and endless hunger on a quest to invade every universe and bring all worlds into his Dark Dimension."
- ― Wong (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
- "Violent passion, for a fraudulent god who gave a vicious curse."

- Ultimate/Supreme Annihilator/Destroyer/Evil/Malevolence
Capabilities
User is Anti God/Primordial Void representing the counterpart or sometimes the dark aspects of a Supreme Deity in many verses, they existed before the omniverse itself and are considered the essence of all evil, darkness, chaos and the ultimate decreator of the omniverse ranking them among the most powerful entities.
Universal Differences
- Anti Gods are vital to the balance of the cosmos as they represent the other side of the coin in the perpetual conflict between good and evil.
- As there is only one Supreme God, there can only be one Anti-God.
- Some are not villains but destructive aspects or forces vital that are charged to bring the universe to an end.
- The Anti-God is not to be confused for a demon but is the originator of all demonic forces and everything related to it.
- Though they existed before the universe itself their origin can be originated from 3 sources:
- They may be split or purged aspects of God's dark attributes. (ex. Tathamet from Diablo)
- Twin or counter aspects of God. (ex. Angra Mainyu of Zoroastrianism)
- Primordial form of existence which existed before the creation. (ex. Mikaboshi from Marvel Comics)
- Where as a God plays the role of "Creator", the Anti-God plays the role of "Destroyer".
- While a Monotheistic Deity has Meta Miracle Manipulation, an Anti-God's fatal flaw is that they lack this ability in order to be equally matched, which means they are inferior in terms of power status.
Applications
Anti-Gods are beings of unlimited power giving them the ability to destroy entire universes; in some cases even compared to the supreme creator, a clash between them could cause the multiverse to be destroyed and recreated. Anti-Gods represent and are the prime originators of all that counters creation, giving it absolute domain over dark powers.

Techniques
Associations
Limitations
- Cosmic Otherness
- What an Anti-God doesn't have in common is the power to perform any kind of miracle imaginable. So what this means is that the Monotheistic Deity is much more powerful than the likes of an Anti-God since he/she can use this power to prevent himself/herself from losing to the latter.
- The user's power may be less than the Supreme Being's unless the user was born from the separation of itself and the Supreme Being or other circumstances occurring.
