Black Multiverse

"*The fact that thoughts and feelings shape reality becomes far more literal there. You see, each universe in the Black Multiverse is based on any hero or villain's unspoken fears. For instance, there exists a woman in your universe known to most as the 'tyrant tackler'. Most of her Black Multiverse variants are tyrants who oppress humanity.*"
―The Iron Godking to Morgan[src]
The **Black Multiverse** is a cosmic shadow under the primary Multiverse, one formed of every fear and bad decision ever made or dreamed of. Like many other universes the Black Multiverse consists of, time does not exist in the Zone of No Return in the same way it does within the regular universe. The Black Multiverse is largely composed by dark realms where heroes and villains' lives were damaged beyond repair, damning the universe. In the vastity of the Black Multiverse, there are also known to exist various planes without an official designation which are not only based on hopes and fears of the Multiverse's residents but they were even born from past events from all of the Multiverse's history. The Zone of No Return exists in a void of time and the laws of physics. Any light there is cold; it can be seen, yet it does not radiate energy.

## History

### Multiverse chaos

"*The point is, she's not creating energy, my friends, she is stealing it.*"
―Superquack[src]
Contrary to the worlds of the normal Multiverse, those from the Black Multiverse were doomed from the very beginning because of their own malformed construction. Throughout its history, each universe in the Black Multiverse based itself on any hero or villain's unspoken fears. According to the Iron Godking, most of Summer Petersen's Black Multiverse versions were immoral rulers who tyrannized humanity. According to Xerxes, evil counterparts of villains took the form of good version of themselves as they feared being benevolent. This statement was not totally true as it existed at least one version of Xydarone IV who was far more evil than her positive Multiverse's counterpart. Another instance was that there a reality eventually arose where Cara Mota runs a successful company. Realms in the Black Multiverse were fragile and constantly deteriorating, inevitably doomed to destruction by their own malformed construction. Eventually, a corrupted variant of Valhalla named Lady Antinomy came to dwell in the Zone of No Return. Under her rule, the Zone of No Return gradually became an amalgam of alternate realities whose aborted contents were sent to the end of time. While Xitol managed to open a portal to summon the Black Multiverse, she was defeated and slain by the Band of Justice before the Black Multiverse could begin consuming the mainstream Multiverse and problematically open it to the greater Omniverse. When Mutantry-2001 Valhalla subsequently appeared in the Zone of No Return with no recollection of who she was, Lady Antinomy personally communed with her younger and more benevolent variant, seeing to it that most of her memories were intact and proposing an alliance with her. Lady Antinomy greedily subjugated several dimensions and added them to her own domain. Eventually, she fashioned the Rimrod, which has the ability to materialize any object into existence. Arriving in the Black Multiverse, the Vault Squad learned from their notes on the Dark Gate that the Rimrod is not making things from nothing, it is taking them from other alternate realities parallel to their own. Meanwhile, Lady Antinomy was confronted by the Black Queen, who was upset over Lady Antinomy's over-the-top use for the Rimrod, as she wanted to keep things discreet with the Vault Squad as a part of her "Garcia" guise. Lady Antinomy captured her and had her imprisoned as well and ordered the villains to make themselves known in the Black Multiverse.

Sebiscuits Cardarphen escaped his cell and freed Corvus Quintana and "Garcia", the latter of whom the formers immediately became suspicious of, due to her presence. Eventually, they found the Rimrod and discovered where their friends. At this point, Sebiscuits deduced that "Garcia" was the Black Queen and that the Black Queen directly commanded the Brotherhood. Valhalla was forced to destroy the Rimrod before it destroyed reality. Thankfully, Lady Antinomy was defeated, and the rest of the villains were sucked back through the dimensional rift. The Black Multiverse played its part in the cosmic balance far more efficiently without Lady Antinomy's exploitative work within its depths.

### The Iron Godking's visit

"*I have been there before. When my son and daughter were very young, the three of us embarked on an adventurous excursion into the shadow.*"
―The Iron Godking to Morgan[src]
Sometime following Lady Antinomy's demise, the Iron Godking came to the Black Multiverse with Himni and Xerxes when both of them were still children.
