    Can anyone explain to me the link between COIE Monitor and the multiple monitors in COIE? If he was born on OA does that mean he is within the Multiverse and not from without? Or was he a monitor himself just like Dax Novu? I really can't wrap my head around this.

    The Monitor was a probe made by the Over Monitor to scan the multiverse. It was overloaded with information and malfunctioned, splitting into the Original Monitor and Anti-Monitor.

    I'm curious where all the the other Monitors come into effect? Like Mandrakk, Dax Novu etc. I'm assuming they came after the Monitor and Anti-Monitor? The Monitor (the originial in COIE) was the first, who'm then the AM split from him as his counterpart?

    There's only one Final Crisis, that was last years, where DS shot Batman with the OE.  COIE (1985?), Infinite Crisis (2005/6), Final Crisis (2009)
