History[]
Eons ago, a race on the planet Maltus evolved into a state of near-omnipotence and became immortal. The Maltusians dedicated their existence to studying the universe. One of their scientists, Krona, viewed the beginning of time and killed billions of potential lives as well as helping influence evil. The Maltusians vowed to never attempt such a feat again and rededicated themselves to fight evil to redeem themselves. However, two factions arose on how to fight such evil. The Guardians of the Universe believed evil should be fought after it happens. They relocated to the planet Oa and later established the Manhunters and the Green Lantern Corps.
The other faction, the Controllers, believed the initiative should be taken to control evil and relocated to a different dimension. They came to the conclusion that a new world order could only be born of chaos.
Recently, the Controllers conducted a war against the Warlords of Okaara. Batman detected this and decided to put an end to it, himself. The Batmobile's Alien Nullifier Beam was able to effectively neutralize both parties' warships. Along with Hawk and Dove, he helped broker a peace between the two races.
