After the Sinestro Corps War, Superman-Prime hurled the shattered body of the Anti-Monitor into space. The Anti-Monitor's shriveled and glowing form crashed on an unknown planet. He was recognized by a dark voice that bid him rise. Too weak to resist or escape, around him formed a Black Lantern Power Battery.
Unlike other types of Power Ring, the dead are chosen to wield the black rings. The symbol on a black ring is the same symbol as used by the super-villain Black Hand.
