Curse of the Anchor

The Curse of the Anchor was a charm that cursed a line of Colormen during the Dark era, and during the first few months of the Current era.
It took effect when the prism was shattered; due to missing records very little of it is understood. All that is known is that when activated, it cursed an entire lineage of Colormen to become evil, to "gain an infinite capacity for evil to anchor the morality check."
Initially, the Man In Black line was cursed, then it was transferred to the Man In Amber Apricot line, before the curse was finally removed after the defeat of Philos. For the greater good, Man In Amber Apricot was sealed in the Crypt of the Anchor until the curse was lifted.
Colormen Scholars are still trying to make sense of this curse; all that is known is that it is directly linked to the Shattering of the Prism, given that there is no indication of any "anchor curse" in any First Era document.
Although Man In Amber Apricot is no longer Evil, his father, Brainiac, remains so.
