After Batman foiled the core meltdown at a nuclear power plant, Equinox saved Batman by healing all the damage he sustained while being inside the nuclear core, explaining his death would unbalance the scales. Equinox rationalized that the only way to balance this destruction was by destroying the city where the GPA was located. OMAC destroyed most of Kafka's militia and village. Shrapnel, who was a Cuban General named Kafka, was seeking revenge for the GPA (Global Peace Agency) sending OMAC to stop his militias uprising. He spent a great deal of time explaining to Batman all the massive effects his actions have on the world and its balance, likening Batman's actions to the Butterfly Effect, stating, "Ever wonder what impact your little bat wings have on this world?" He aided Shrapnel's mayhem, secretly helping using his magical influence, all of which appeared as accidents or coincidences, such as OMAC system errors or loss of connection with Brother Eye. He argued with Batman about order and balance, as well as his way of maintaining it. Indeed he did, though Equinox was seen to Batman alone, invisible to everyone else. When the time is right, you will again meet Equinox!" When OMAC Attcks! Batman caught up with Equinox and they quarreled, but Equinox escaped and exclaimed, "Don't worry Batman. Equinox fled the scene as Batman and The Question gave chase. Batman rescued The Question and in effect, correspondingly saved Gorilla Grodd's life as well, but did not cut his bonds. Batman appeared and Equinox triggered the scale to lower his captives into the flames. It's an essential part of my quest to bring the world into complete balance." Equinox dangled the two over a fiery pit on a large weighing scale The Question tied to one of the weighing pans and Gorilla Grodd to the other. If I eliminate the black pawn a white one must go too. The Question inquired his reason for doing so and in answering The Question's inquiry, Equinox stated, "To keep everything equal of course. However this was an enormous burden to bare, he grew tired of the impossible task he had been given and set out to keep the balance in his own way.Įquinox captured Gorilla Grodd because his plans, as Equinox put it, ".would disturb the equilibrium." Equinox also captured The Question who, like Equinox, was trying to stop Gorilla Grodd. His eternal duty was to ensure that the two forces remained equal by tipping the balance back should one force grow too strong. The Lords of Order and Chaos chose an infant to wield both magics, acting as their mediator.
