Max has given us two different versions of DC's most evil power

DC has used the Anti-Life Equation as a crucial part of its overarching stories for decades. Villains such as Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor have sought after it and used it for their grand machinations. Beyond the comics, the Equation has been featured in animation and live-action alike, in two very different ways.

Zack Snyder's Justice League featured the Anti-Life Equation as the ultimate goal for Darkseid, the overarching villain of the DCEU. The Equation is said to be on Earth, although an exact physical form of it is unrevealed.

The other side of this is the recent Kite Man show. Kite Man and Golden Glider come into possession of the Anti-Life Equation, in the form of a briefcase. The Equation has an actual physical form, unlike Justice League's version, which is more abstract.

Comic books like the iconic Final Crisis, one of the most notable stories featuring the Equation, have it as more of an abstract concept. Zack Snyder's Justice League certainly takes inspiration from Final Crisis, especially in its portrayal of Darkseid.

A purely physical form of the Anti-Life Equation is fresh and new. The Equation as seen in Kite Man corrupts whoever possesses it, but grants ultimate power. The Equation is sought after by Lex Luthor, one of the main villains both of Kite Man and of the series it spun off from, Harley Quinn.

Harley Quinn featured Darkseid as a villain, who famously has sought after the Anti-Life Equation in his every iteration. Darkseid may become a prominent figure in Kite Man as well, especially if the Equation is involved.

Kite Man has given us a new take on one of DC's most important cosmic powers. The Anti-Life Equation has a place in the DC Multiverse, one which has been expanded time and again, and expanded once more by Kite Man.
