Alpheus (Sixth Dimension)

The World Forger, also known as Alpheus, is the first son of Perpetua and brother of the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor. All three of them were created by their mother from the Overvoid.

Alpheus was assigned in the World Forge, a place deep in the dark beneath creation to create universes from the fears and feelings of every living being of the multiverse. The most stable universes rose into the Orrery of Worlds and for the unstable one, Alpheus will dispatch his dragon known as Barbatos to destroy them and return their energies to the forge.

In some point after Perpetua's imprisonment in the Source Wall and the restart of the Multiverse, the World Forger was eventually killed by his dragon Barbatos and the latter corrupted the World Forge by allowing the malformed and unstable worlds of the forge to exist beyond their times. After Barbatos' defeat, Alpheus was reformed in the Sixth Dimension. Following the destruction of the Source wall and the liberation of Perpetua, Alpheus started to create countless universes in attempt to create a perfect multiverse of justice to replace the current one in order to save the people of the current multiverse who have a place in his new multiverse from being destroyed by the Judges of the Source.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Monitor Physiology: As one of the Original Monitors, Alpheus possesses abilities that far exceed the comprehension of most beings, placing him among the most powerful entities in existence.[1] So immense is his power that even Mister Mxyzptlk, a near-omnipotent being from the Fifth Dimension, serves him.[2] While Alpheus’s abilities are greatly diminished in the Third Dimension, they remain powerful enough to affect reality on a cosmic scale.[3] Each strike of his hammer creates entire universes. Within the Forge of Worlds, he crafted countless universes, each one shaped by the hopes and fears of every living being on Prime Earth.
    • Crisis Anvil: When a Crisis occurs, a Crisis Anvil appears before Alpheus which he strikes with his hammer to descend a new Multiverse to replace the former one. The life energies of every living being of the former Multiverse who have a place to the new Multiverse will be transferred.

    • Metamorphosis: The World Forger can manipulate his physical shape at will, taking on the form of an elderly Superman.[6]
    • Size Alteration: As well as changing his shape, the World Forger can also change his size. In his natural form he towers above the members of the Justice League, standing at around twice their height. However he was able to shrink himself down in order to take the shape of Superman.[6]
    • Precognition: World Forger is able to see indefinitely into the future, allowing him to be constantly aware of what the future holds.[6]

Weaknesses

  • Power Limitation: As a Monitor, Alpheus's powers will wane greatly on a lower plane of existence.[13][3]
  • Power Loss: Alpheus needs his hammer to forge things into existence, and if weakened to the point he cannot strike his hammer hard enough to spark creation, Alpheus cannot create, either, unless he finds an alternative.[11]
