Anti-Life Equation Infection
The Anti-Life Equation Infection occurs when Darkseid splices a piece of the Black Racer into the Anti-Life Equation. It infects Cyborg, who spreads it via the internet, causing the world to fall in a day. It represents the end of free will, with Darkseid and Cyborg each possessing half.
