A hieroglyph to counter this construct was granted to the early (15[1])human Anthro along with the secret of fire by a man in a floating chair; the Ray later drew that symbol, the Metron Emblem, across the face of the Earth to free humanity from psychic domination by this construct. (15[1])The Fourth World ended with the death of the New Gods (15[1])to reunite this construct with the light half of the (*) Source. In search of this non-physical construct, (10[1])the torturer Desaad made several clones to probe the memory of Billion-Dollar Bates. (10[1])Mobius found this construct in an inverse dimension and became the Anti-Monitor. A native of Apokolips relentlessly searches (10[1])for this concept, (10[1])a mathematical (10[1])proof that life is hopeless which leaves people subservient to his will.
