Orion stopped the clones, gaining the full formula in the process, and wanted to use the Equation for good by enforcing goodwill among the populations of Apokolips and Earth, but realized that the very nature of the formula was against free will and, therefore, voluntary goodwill so he eventually forced himself to relinquish the Equation's power. Later, Darkseid used clones of "Billion Dollar" Bates, made by Desaad, to access the Equation. The Anti-Life Equation was also found in the time-displaced Sonny Sumo, according to the Forever People's Mother Box. It derives its name from the fact that "if someone possesses absolute control over you-you're not really alive." Though the full version of the Equation is barely known to any one person, it supposedly existed in the mind of the billionaire "Billion Dollar" Bates, though he took it to his death. The Anti-Life Equation has the power to dominate the will of any sentient race in addition to reality-altering powers that twist and distort freedom over life and death. Darkseid later focused his attentions on Earth when he discovered humanity possessed fragments of the opposing Equation in their subconscious and conducted experiments on humans over the centuries in an attempt to obtain the full formula. When he learned that Martian philosophy was based on the " Life Equation"-which equals free will-he postulated that the opposite must also exist. The first sign of the Equation came about 300 years ago, when Darkseid made contact with the Martians. It implants the mathematical certainty that all life is hopeless and that freedom and hope are futile concepts, dooming those who hear it to despair. Darkseid continued to search for it, and recently obtained the full formula. Originally, it was said to have existed in the mind of "Billion Dollar" Bates, who took it to his death.
