   * The Monitor is born on Oa's moon after its creation. He spends his life in silent meditation, learning the secrets of the universe.

The Anti-Monitor spreads his reign of terror throughout the antimatter universe. //Note: The text claims that the Anti-Monitor and the Monitor were created as a result of Krona's actions, but this can only mean that Krona's actions affected the distant past in addition to the present.// [Crisis on Infinite Earths #7]   * The Monitor is born on Oa's moon after its creation.
