## Appearance

He is similar to his brother, Pops, but all black around him and fully glows white without any pupils. He has a lightning shaped mustache and beard with sharp teeth, in addition of a black colored cape.

## Personality

As the complete opposite of Pops, Anti-Pops is evil, cruel, sinister, authoritative, and megalomaniacal as he wants to rule all and destroy his brother who is destined to defeat him. He also gives out bad reviews to the point of attempting to giving them a negative number of stars. By the end, however, it implies that he shows remorse, stating that he wished that he could take back all the one-star reviews as he and Pops are hurled into a star. Pops cheers him up, embraces his brother and smiles before meeting their end.

## History

### Early life

He and his brother Pops were born on their home planet Lolliland. For reasons that haven't been revealed yet, other than having been born with a completely different gift, he wants his brother dead.

### Season 8

At the beginning and end of each universe, the two brothers battle. This battle always ends in a draw and the universe resets. In his first full appearance he is seen killing a space store clerk, since he was taking too long to give his soldier his change. He then proceeds with an attack on the space tree, but Pops escapes his grasp. In his next appearance, he is frustrated that Pops has not been tracked, no special sauce came with his noodles, and that the lowest rating he could give the noodle company was zero stars and not negative five stars. Throughout this season, he is constantly trying to get Pops killed by doing various things like hiring Bounty Hunters. He eventually tricks Pops into meeting him at a space arcade and almost kills him. However, the rest of the park crew save the day, with Pops' trainer Earl also sacrificing himself to save Pops and is erased from existence by him.

In his final appearance during the season finale, he erases almost everyone from existence except Mordecai, Rigby, and Pops, who he was duelling with. He comes close to victory, but Pops tackles him with a hug and they are both killed by flying into the sun. Anti-Pops shows remorse for his actions. Anti-Pops and Pops' demise ends the cycle of universal destruction and rebirth every 14 billion years, as well as resurrecting those who were erased by Anti-Pops.
