## Summary

**Mandrakk** is the figure of Evil and Destroyer in the context of Monitors belief system.

Dax Novu, the Radiant One, was the greatest of all Monitors, as he is the first Monitor who entered into the DC Universe, investigated it, mapped it and brought the Bleed to Monitors. But Dax Novu fell down, because of his travel into the DC Universe contaminated him with stories, transforming him into a figure that the Monitors feared, as the arrival of this figure will be the end of them and all of existence, and so they cast Dax Novu away.

This figure, that the Monitors feared, is known as Mandrakk in the context of their belief system of which Dax Novu became the incarnation of it.

**Note:**

* **Note 1**:

It is interesting to note the fact that Dax Novu is just another motifs stories of the fallen. The first evidence that Dax Novu is a figure part of Lucifer is the name that Grant Morrison attributed to him: The Radiant One. The second evidence is that Dax Novu literally "rebelled" against Monitor-Mind The Over-Void, when he entered into the DC Universe. The third evidence is the fall that I will address in the next point.

* **Note 2**:

It is interesting to note the fact that Mandrakk fall is another motifs of Lucifer fall. In fact, the end of the fight between Superman and Mandrakk reflects Michael and Lucifer fight in the War in Heaven.

It was Grant Morrison's intent, since he explained in "Inside the Mind of Grant Morrison" that he depicted the different forms of Evil in the cultural context in his work Final Crisis. Hence why Mandrakk share commons motifs with Lucifer (the fall).
