Monarch (DU being)

Dark Universe Monarch is the version of Monarch from the Dark Universe. As with most other Dark Universe inhabitants, he is bent on conquest and destruction.

His history is much the same as his counterpart from the main multiverse, except that he stored his captured victims in the UG, not on a spaceship. At some point he chose to ally himself with their version of Kakamu, which turned out to be a good idea for him as the alliance protected him from thousands of potential threats. One day, Kakamu formulated a plan to conquer a different universe, and shared this plan with Monarch. Monarch was instructed to stay in the Dark Universe until the right time, while Kakamu entered the BZPB Multiverse and began working towards his plan.

Several years later, the signal came, and Monarch entered the portal into the BZPB multiverse that opened for him. Kakamu greeted Monarch, and told him that they were at "stage six" of the plan. Monarch also met SMK while there, who accidentally revealed that the Shattered Mirror Universe was not a splinter timeline of the Dark Universe, and was in fact completely independent. Not wishing to work with someone not from their universe, Monarch destroyed SMK's armour in front of DUK and exiled his antidermis to the UG. DUK understood that he did what had to be done, as he wasn't aware that the SMU was completely different from the DU until that point. Kakamu then instructed Monarch to repopulate the UG, which he did by abducting several characters from across the multiverse.
