The Seven Forces of the Universe are the primordial energies born of The Presence and The Source from which most of the underlying architecture of the Omniverse was forged by The Hands using these cosmic energies to shape the multiverses throughout the void.

History

The Seven Forces of the Universe were created eons ago by The Presence, of The Source, the "source" of creativity and creation that fuels all things in existence, and gathers around two opposing poles: the Anti-Crisis Energy -- Energy in nature connective that links all lives as one history, and Crisis Energy -- Energy of the self that beckon to undo the past in favor of the immediate moment. The Source birthed a race of super-celestial beings called The Hands to whom it gifted the Anti-Crisis Energy which they would use to create new Multiversal Systems within the Omniverse.[1]

The Creation of the DC Multiverse

Twenty billion years ago, the super celestial Perpetua reached the Overvoid to create the Multiverse in the Sixth Dimension using Crisis Energy to shape three different realms which she assigned to one of her newly born children: a realm of dark matter that would shape all the creation which she assigned to Alpheus; an infinite orrery of realities that would have been monitored by Mar Novu; an antimatter universe, which would have been ruled by Mobius, that would divide her multiverse from the Overvoid as well as the rest of the Omniverse.[2]

However, despite having fulfilled her role of creator as Mar Novu pointed to her, Perpetua chose to not leave the multiverse, retiring herself to enact her masterplan. In fact, Perpetua began experimenting on various species in order to create a race of Apex Predators who she would eventually use to invade other multiverses and claim them for herself. However, her sons alerted her superiors, the Judges of the Source, to her actions and she was imprisoned in the Source Wall along with the her army and the totality of the power she had selfishly hoarded. The multiverse was then re-created with the Anti-Crisis Energy.[3] For ages, after the first Multiversal Reset, the multiverse thrived in harmony with the Seven Harmonious Forces as the underlying energies that governed it.

Anti-Crisis Energy

Connective in nature, the Anti-Crisis Energy, also known as the Connective Energy or the Seven Harmonious Forces, connects everyone to their past and history, reminding them that they are all part of one generational story.[1] It gathers all the positive and harmonious forces of the Multiverse, each energy governing the material reality and are essential to the proper functioning of the Multiverse with all its elements working in harmony with each other, imbuing it with concepts like feelings, magic, motions, etc.[4] Although they are not part of the Seven Harmonious Forces, the Life Equation and Order Magic are also considered to be Anti-Crisis Energy forces.

Crisis Energy

Based on selfishness, greed and predation, the Crisis Energy, also known as Direct Crisis Energy or the Seven Hidden Forces of Creation, shatters everyone's connection to their past and history,[1] being generated by Crises, causing reality to reset and erasing history from memory. Although they are not part of the Seven Hidden Forces, the Anti-Life Equation, the Anti-Death Equation, and Chaos Magic are also considered to be Crisis Energy forces.[1]

Speed Force and Still Force

The Speed Force is part of the Harmonious Forces and is the energy field that gives the universe motions and grants the Flash Family and all Speedsters their power. Based on velocity and movement, it is the representation of reality in motion, being the very cosmic force that pushes space and time forward. The Still Force, opposite to the Speed Force, is a cosmic force based around entropy and inertia, capable to negate motion, baring the potential to induce and accelerate the force of entropy. The Still Force is part of the Seven Hidden Forces.

Emotional Spectrum and Invisible Spectrum

The Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum is part of the Harmonious Forces and is the energy field that gives the universe feelings and emotions and grants the Lantern Corps their power and is fueled by the emotions of all sentient beings. It governs the Red/Rage, Orange/Avarice, Yellow/Fear, Green/Will, Blue/Hope, Indigo/Compassion, Violet/Love, Black/Death, White/Life with each emotion having its own Emotional Entity such as Butcher, Ophidian, Parallax, Ion, Adara, Proselyte, the Predator, Nekron and the Life Entity. Outside the known colors of the Emotional Spectrum, there is the Invisible Spectrum, opposite to the Emotional Spectrum, that includes Ultraviolet, which feeds on buried primal emotions especially hatred. The Invisible Spectrum is part of the Seven Hidden Forces and like its counterpart, the Invisible Spectrum has its own Emotional Entity called Umbrax.

Life Force and Tear of Extinction

The Life Force represents quasiversal Harmonious Uniformity and is part of the cosmic force that allows life to flourish, interconnecting every living being down to their very souls. It is wielded by those like Aquaman or Poseidon who are connected to the nurturing oceans, the font of all life. Those touched by this force, whether it be through an object or through the energy itself, retain a connection to all life and can communicate in a telepathic manner. The Death Force, opposite to the Life Force, is the antipathic counterpart that brings death to any and all things, even immortals like the gods, sending them to the Graveyard of Gods. Items that can channel this force, such as the Tear of Extinction, are what drives people & worlds towards isolation and solipsism. Pushing on entropus levels of sociopathic individualism as well as the inevitable collapse of life itself. The Death Force is one of the Seven Hidden Forces.

Sphere of the Gods and Void Wind

The Sphere of the Gods is part of the Seven Harmonious Forces and is the cosmic force that gives the universe magic and grants the gods and those who have godlike abilities their power. Beings such as the New Gods and other pantheons such as the Gods of Olympus, the Angels, the Demons, wield this power and are considered multiversal singularities. The Void Wind, opposite to the Sphere of the Gods and the twin force of the Tear of Extinction, is a cosmic dynamism that snuffs out magic, divinity and the like. It is derived from the harsh gales that blow from the Graveyard of Gods. The Void Wind is part of the Seven Hidden Forces.

Dimensional Superstructure and Sixth Note

The Dimensional Superstructure of the Multiverse is the cosmic force which governs all things imaginable and unimaginable and it is part of the Harmonious Forces. Wielded by those put in place to monitor all creation such as Mar Novu, Alpheus and Mobius. The Sixth Note, opposite to the Dimensional Superstructure, is the cosmic force beyond imagination and is unlocked when the impossible is glimpsed. The Sixth Note is part of the Seven Hidden Forces.

Collective Unconscious and Black Apple

The Collective Unconscious is the cosmic force that gives others knowledge and wisdom and is part of the Seven Harmonious Forces. It is responsible for granting telepaths their power and is also wielded by the greatest of minds. The Black Apple, opposite to the Collective Unconscious, is a force around forbidden knowledge. The Black Apple is part of the Seven Hidden Forces.

Faithfulness and Faithlessness

Faithfulness is the seventh harmonious force and is tied in the nature of faith which is mostly relied on the goodness within people's hearts and their heroic natures. Faithlessness, the dark counterpart to Faith, is a force based on faith people have in Doom as it relies on the evil within peoples hearts and their selfish and cruel nature and is unlocked when one loses the faith one possesses of their loved ones. Faithlessness is part of the Seven Hidden Forces.

Powers

The Seven Forces of the Universe are the most powerful forces in the universe.[5] As such, they were said to govern the material universe.[6] They have been described as being like strings stretched across the instrument that is the multiverse and from which the major chords of the universe are played and are said to have the power to remake the multiverse.[7] John Stewart described these energies as the raw materials of a multiverse whose super celestial beings shape multiverses.[8] The energies can supposedly restore dead realities like the Superboy-Prime universe.[9] Imbued with the Seven Hidden Forces of Creation, Lex Luthor was able to harness each of the seven dark universal powers and travel across infinite realities.[10] By extension, Paradox could absorb Crisis Energy through changes in time to become a god within the Multiverse.[11] All beings in the Multiverse are batteries for Crisis Energy and its opposite. A connection linking everyone with their past and history generates Anti-Crisis Energy, while any change in reality that undo the past from everyone's memory in favor of the immediate moment generates Crisis Energy.[12]
