| abstract | - In order to destroy the Green Lantern, the Qwardians of the Antimatter Universe built an intelligent robot named Gnaxos, which is 'perfect' because it had no knowledge of what was good.
- Gnaxos was a mechanically created being that was created by the Weaponers of Qward in the Anti-Matter Universe. Developed on Qward, the large machine was created in the modern age only recently by their chief scientists of the Qwardians. This project was overseen by the Chief Weaponer namely Kiman himself. It was designed to be perfect in almost every way and included a malevolent evil mind that controlled its actions. At this time, the Qwardians intended to defeat the threat posed by the forces of good on Earth and destroy all Power Batteries such as the one held by Hal Jordan. This member of the Green Lantern Corps proved to be the Weaponers most perplexing problem and they gave the information to Gnaxos in order for it to find a weakness by which they could finally destroy their arch-enemy. In a short matter of time, the machines subtle mind found a solution to this problem which the Qwardians began to implement. Despite the robots short existence, an unknown event occurred in its mind where it learnt the difference between good and evil. Deciding to be a force for good, it learnt that its creators were in fact evil and thus hid its true nature from them. Meanwhile, the Weaponers had launched a rocket containing a unique type of radiation was launched into the Positive Matter Universe which tracked down Jordan. In order to save his friend, Tom Kalmaku jumped before the weapon and was struck by the radiation. After disposing of the rocket, he attempted to use his Green Lantern Power Ring to heal his friend but the yellow radiation aura prevented him accomplishing this feat. Learning that the rocket was of Qwardian design, Jordan travelled into the Anti-Matter Universe in order to confront the Weaponers. However, the Weaponers refused to provide him with an antidote and instead suggested that their champion face Green Lantern in gladitorial combat. Jordan reluctantly agreed in order to win the battle and save his friend Kalmaku.
