Who is The Great Evil Beast / Great Darkness / Absence

Top five facts about DC's The Great Evil Beast aka the Great Darkness, who is the embodiment of evil and sole cause of all evil ever to exist in the DC universe.

5. The Great Darkness existed before the creation of the Greater Omniverse and functioned as an antithesis to God. It was formed into existence after God uttered the words, "Let there be light". He sought only to snuff out the light of creation.

As a newborn entity, lacking knowledge, he was easily defeated by the Presence and contained within its own realm.

4. Darkseid, Mister Mind, Super-boy Prime, The Upside-Down Man and the Anti-Monitor are all direct creations of the Great Darkness.

3. When the events of Crisis on Infinite Earth took place, a group of mystics named Brujeria used a ritual to contact the Great Darkness, but it went wrong and the cataclysmic anti-God awoke as a furious beast, unable to grasp its power and confused by its existence, decimating everything it its way.

2. The Great Darkness launched an attack on Heaven, which caused Lucifer Morningstar, Azrael and Beelzebub to form an alliance to defend Hell. As the Great Darkness stormed the gates of Heaven, it held out its hand to which the Presence accepted and when they merged together they formed the perfect balance. The Great Darkness vanished after merging with the Presence, but only a small part did and the larger threat is still very active and alive, yet never seen.

1. The Great Darkness is an omnipotent being considered as the ultimate antagonist in the DC universe.
