This is a respect thread for the Negation and their Emperor, Charon (as well as several other characters and powers in the Crossgen Universe). The Negation comics were published by the short - lived Crossgen entertainment, before they went out of business. Thus, the storyline of the Negation War was never concluded. However, their comics were very well - written, drawn, and interesting, and I would still higly reccomend them. The Crossgen universe is actually 2 universes, the main Crossgen universe, where Earth exists and most of the stories take place, and the Negation universe, which is controlled by the evil Negation Empire, under the command of the godlike Emperor Charon. He intends to invade and conquer the Bright Universe (as he calls it), and that was the main conflict that all of the stories were building up to. To combat the threat, Danik, a god - like ascended Atlantean, who was as powerful as Charon, created the Sigil, a mark of power he gave to certain humans which gave them various extraordinary abilities. The comic titled Negation chronicles a group of beings from the Bright Universe who were brought to the Negation universe by Charon so he could test and experiment on them, to find the best way to conquer their universe. However, under the leadership of a human named Obregon Kaine, they escaped, and tried to find a way to bring down the Negation and return home. I don't have all of the relevant comics, so there will be several scans that I won't be able to post. Still, this thread will have many scans, as well as spoilers, so be warned.
To start with Charon's origin, he and Appolyon (his rival) were once both human scientists from the Bright Universe. Here Appolyon describes how he and Charon gained their power:

Charon and Appolyon are observed as they first arrive in the Negation universe:

Charon easily survives reentry as he crashes onto a planet:

However, the trip had made Charon lose his mind:

http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/?action=view¤t=charoninsane.jpg
Appolyon also crashes on the same planet, but he at least has retained his sanity:

Confused natives attack him, but their weapons are useless as Appolyon kills them:

Appolyon takes one of the natives into space, holding him in a TK/forcefield, and communicates with him telepathically:

We find out that a massive group of people were transported to the Negation universe along with Charon and Appolyon. They heal them and set off on a quest to bring order to the universe:

Charon creates the race of Lawbringers by expelling all of the negative emotions from his mind. At first you can see there were hundres or even thousands of Lawbringers:

http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/?action=view¤t=lawbringerscreation.jpg
Appolyon disapproves of this, and attacks the Lawbringers, then runs from Charon. Also note how it states that Appolyon was weaker than Charon.

A single Lawbringer could crush the entire forces of a world, or even destroy the world itself. The Lawbringers conquered the universe in Charon's name:
http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/?action=view¤t=lawbringerhistory.jpg
Eventually Charon commissioned regular military forces and only used the Lawbringers as a last resort in extreme situations:
http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/?action=view¤t=lawbringerplanetbusting.jpg
Charon and his Lawbringers hunted Appolyon all across the universe until Charon finally caught up to him:

http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/?action=view¤t=charonvsappolyon.jpg
Charon and Appolyon engage in a battle that transcends time and space and resonates across more dimensions than mortal senses can percieve. Charon eventually wins, and banishes Appolyon to a hell - like pocket dimension:

Information on Charon's conquest of the universe, he's so powerful that he's even referred to as omnipotent and a mad god:

http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/?action=view¤t=charonconquer1.jpg
Charon is a cosmic being who can appear as the substance of space itself:
http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/?action=view¤t=charoncosmic.jpg
Moving away from Charon for now (we'll get back to him in a bit), now we see the power of Danik and Solusandra, a Transitioned Atlantean under his command. Solusandra rebelled against Danik and the other Transitioned Atlanteans, and managed to find the barrier to the Negation universe. The resulting conflict between Danik and his forces and the forces of the Negation caused massive cosmic destruction. Here we see a sun being destroyed with an energy beam:
http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/?action=view¤t=danikpower.jpg
Danik and his allies battle as gods, casually destroying worlds and smashing planets together as space is set ablaze with their tremendous power. Solusandra is defeated and punished by having her memories and most of her power stripped from her.

Danik creates multiple avatars, similar to Charon's Lawbringers, who are given the task of granting humans the Sigil and guiding them to help them use their powers correctly to fight the Negation when the time comes:
http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/?action=view¤t=danikavatars.jpg
The Sigils created by Danik were apparently capable of violating the law of conservation of energy and actually creating energy from nothingness:
