Though seemingly destroyed at the Crisis of the Infinite Earths, after the reformation of the Multiverse one of the many beings that were reborn was the cosmic being known as the Anti-Monitor. It was during that time he met the renegade Green Lantern Sinestro and the two formed an alliance in order to conquer the Multiverse. This led to Sinestro enslaving the Weaponers of Qward in order to make them forge countless Qwardian Power Rings so that he could create the Sinestro Corps; an army based on fear that served its guardian the Anti-Monitor. In that time, they continued to recruit further members into their ranks whilst they lived in secret on Qward which was located in the Anti-Matter Universe.
