Perpetua

View source
“ You think you can seal me away?! I will not allow it! Tell your masters I will escape! Tell them I will come to the end of the Void and rip them limb from limb. You cannot hold me forever! „
~ Perpetua

Summary

Perpetua was a Hand, an agent of the Source, sent to birth a new Multiverse within the greater Omniverse. She created the original version of the current DC Multiverse, as well as her three sons, Alpheus, Mar Novu, and Mobius, who later became known as the World Forger, Over-Monitor, and Anti-Monitor, respectively. However, she went rogue, turning her creation from justice toward doom, and creating an army of powerful beings that she could use to rebel against the Judges of the Source. Her plan was stopped by her sons, who alerted the Judges, and the Source Wall was created to seal Perpetua, her Multiverse being remade without her taint.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 1-A, likely High 1-A

Name: Perpetua

Origin: DC Comics

Gender: Female

Age: Inapplicable, exists completely beyond time

Classification: Member of The Hands, Mother of the Multiverse, Mother of Crises

Powers and Abilities:

All previous abilities to a much greater degree, plus:


Attack Potency: Outerverse level+, likely High Outerverse level (Perpetua is the most feared being among The Hands and wields The Source's energy, though she supposedly lost the type of stature she belonged to after being sealed in the Source Wall.[Note 1] Tore pieces from Monitor-Mind The Overvoid and shaped them into her three children. Her sons couldn't defeat her without help before, and still couldn't do so even as the Ultra-Monitor and she lacked her full power at this point.[3] Having restored most of her power, Perpetua was able to "re-string" the Multiverse with the Forces of Doom and imposed her will to the Ultra-Monitor with the Anti-Life Equation, and her ascension was felt throughout the Multiverse and the Dark Multiverse.[4] As reality was dominated by the Forces of Doom, Perpetua drew upon all the energy needed to bring the Multiverse on the verge of destruction and threatened to reconfigure and restart the Multiverse with the Forces of Doom.[5] Was the only known being capable of rivaling the Darkest Knight and their clash raged across every facet of reality according to the Chronicler who stated that the stories of the Multiverse were tearing apart because of them[6])

Speed: Immeasurable (She kept up with The Darkest Knight[7])

Lifting Strength: Immeasurable

Striking Strength: Outerverse level+, likely High Outerverse level

Durability: Outerverse level+, likely High Outerverse level (Took attacks from The Ultra-Monitor and from the Darkest Knight)

Stamina: Godlike (The story outright stated that Perpetua gathered energy every time she destroyed a universe, and the "Crisis Energy" she thrived on could be spend or used up)

Range: Outerversal+, likely High Outerversal

Standard Equipment: Staff

Intelligence: Supergenius (Possesses the knowledge to create entire Multiverses from positive matter, antimatter, and dark matter. Invented technology capable of stabilizing hypertime and can be used to bottle Prime Earth's futures)

Weaknesses: It has been suggested that Perpetua's source of power is not limitless as she has gathered the dark energy of universal fear and chaos every time she has destroyed a universe, and this source of power can be redirected through specific methods. The Batman Who Laughs believed that Perpetua's power had no effects on the energies of the Dark Multiverse and Perpetua stated that the energies of the Dark Multiverse posed a danger to her.

Crisis Energy is not an unlimited source of energy and can run out. Therefore, Perpetua must gather more Crisis Energy from the multiverse through the psychic energies of people every time her power source is depleted.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

As a fallen and corrupted Hand of the Source, Perpetua hordes and wields the seven hidden forces of the universe, including:

  • Black Apple: The dark counterpart to the Collective Unconscious, which is the force that grants telepaths their power. It is a dark force of forbidden knowledge unlocked by discovering the universes darkest secrets.
  • Sixth Note: The dark counterpart to the Dimensional Superstructure of the Multiverse, its powers are known to be beyond imagination. In addition of being beyond imagination, it appears to have the ability to make things impossible to happen as seen with Perpetua rendering the resurrection of her children in the Sixth Dimension no longer possible.
  • Still Force: The dark counterpart to the Speed Force, it allows its user to harness entropy, halt motion, age others, drain life force and create barriers and constructs of energy.
  • Tear of Extinction: The dark counterpart to the Life Force, the Tear is a cosmic force that brings death to any being, even immortal gods and sends them to the Graveyard of the Gods. It is described as the drive towards isolation and solipsism. It is also connected to the Death Force.
  • Ultraviolet Spectrum: The dark counterpart to the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum that functions similarly but feeds on primal emotions like hatred. Like the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum has Emotional Entities, it too has its own entity in Umbrax. It is the dark-light to the light of the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum.
  • Void Wind: The dark counterpart to the Sphere of the Gods which can snuff out magic and gods. It is the Tear's twin and its name is derived from the harsh winds that blow from the Graveyard of the Gods. In addition to snuffing out magic and the lives of the gods, it has shown the ability to subjugate them as well as seen with Cheetah controlling the god Poseidon.
  • Faithlessness The seventh force and dark counterpart to Faith. It appears to be associated with the concept of "Doom" as it relies on the evil within peoples hearts and their selfish and cruel nature and is unlocked when one loses the faith one possesses of their loved ones.

Being created by the Source and tasked by it to fill the greater Omniverse with whole new systems of life, Perpetua and her Hand siblings were trusted with the seven harmonious forces including;

  • Collective Unconscious: The force that gives others knowledge and wisdom. It is responsible for granting telepaths their power and is also wielded by the greatest of minds. Possibly linked to the Sage Force which is a force that deals with psychic powers.
  • Dimensional Superstructure: Wielded by those put in place to monitor all of creation, the Dimensional Superstructure is a power which governs all things imaginable and unimaginable. Wielded by monitors: Mar Novu who governs the positive matter realm which is firm and constant, Alpheus who governs the Dark matter realm which is rich and full of potential, and Mobius who governs the antimatter realm which is all destroying and corrosive.
  • Speed Force: The cosmic energy force that grants all speedsters their power. Based around velocity and movement, it is the representation of reality in motion, being the very cosmic force that pushes space and time forward. It is based around the concept of lightning manipulation and is connected to the Sage Force (the force of fire, the mind, and technology), Strength Force (the force of earth, gravity and the force of motion), Still Force (the force of entropy and inertia) and the Forever Force (the force unlocked by obtaining control of the Speed, Skill, Strength, and Sage Forces and is the cosmic force based around the time).
  • Life Force: The cosmic force that allows life to flourish and connects ever living being down to their very souls. It is wielded by those connected to the oceans, the font of all life. Those touched by this force, whether it be through an object or through the energy itself, retain a connection to all life and can communicate telepathically. One of the most notable uses of this force is its power to compel and control sea-life and life born from the sea, who are especially affected by this force. Users of this force can telepathically connect with all living beings in the universe. It is based around the concept of water manipulation and it has some form of connection to the Death Force.
  • Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum: The cosmic force that gives the universe feelings and emotions and is wielded primarily by the Lantern Corps and the Guardians of the Universe. It is fueled by the emotions of all sentient beings and as a collective, it is considered one of the seven harmonious forces of the universe. It governs the Red Rage, Orange Avarice, Yellow Fear, Green Will, Blue Hope, Indigo Compassion, Violet Love, and the White Life/Creation with each emotion having its own Emotional Entity in the Butcher, Ophidian, Parallax, Ion, Adara, Proselyte, the Predator, and the Life Entity, respectively, and each emotional spectrum can create light constructs and has specific powers tied to its emotional domain.
  • Sphere of the Gods: The cosmic force that gives the universe magic and is wielded by the gods and those who have godlike abilities. Beings such as the gods of various pantheons, the Demons, the Angels, the Endless, the New Gods, wield this power and are considered multiversal singularities.
  • Faithfulness: The final and mostly unknown force. As a cosmic goddess of The Source Perpetua was meant to wield this power to create multiverses in the justice format but instead she corrupted this power and twisted it for doom and making her creations and herself outlive the Source and its judges.

Note:

  • Despite Perpetua's own statement of her powers being limited to one universe at a time, it was decided that the context and scale of her feats provide more evidence and support for much higher statistics.
    • Author Scott Snyder stated in an interview with YouTuber Imaginary Axis that Perpetua belonged to a hierarchy of beings from beyond Creation, but because she was sealed away in the Source Wall, she no longer has the kind of stature she once had when she was called upon to create the Multiverse.
