These beings were actually survivors of the infamous Massacre of Sector 666 that was unleashed by the Guardians of the Universe's servants, the Manhunters. When the Oans became the Guardians of the Universe, they sought to develop an army to bring order to the universe. The results were the Manhunters, robotic soldiers who would carry out the Guardians will and battle evil where ever it arose. But in time, the Guardians soon learned that their creations lacked the ability to see the difference between good and evil, and became more obsessed with maintaining their code, "No man escapes the Manhunters". Finally, however, the breaking point came when a simultaneous glitch occurred within the Manhunters: eradicate all life. The Manhunters descended upon Sector 666 and wiped out any organic life forms that they found. Among those worlds attacked by the Manhunters was the "Cancer Worlds" that saw four demonic alien beings survive. These individuals had the ability to tap into the magical arts and had frightening abilities but lacked focus for their talents. As such, they began scouring space in the aftermath of the Massacre in order to find the final member to join their ranks. To that end, they travelled to the world of Ryut that had been subjected to an attack by the Manhunters. On the devastated surface, the Inversions discovered a badly maimed and wounded Atros who had lost his family. The Inversions revealed their origin and desire for him to join their ranks by inciting within him the feelings of eternal Rage for the crimes made against him. Thus, the newly crowned Atrocitus became a member of the Five Inversions who were the only five beings that escaped the Manhunters. Vowing to avenge their Sector, these beings, demons of great power dedicated their existence to the destruction of the Guardians for unleashing the Manhunters. They became known as the a terrorist group that fought against the Manhunters and eventually established their demonic Empire of Tears which spanned three galaxies. During that time, the Five Inversions would peer into the future and see the Blackest Night, the end of all life within the universe. Eventually, the Guardians came to defeat the Five Inversions on their throneworld of Ysmault. The Five Inversions killed many Oans that day, but in the end the Guardians were victorious. Unable to kill the demons, the Guardians crucified the Five Inversions and imprisoned their servants on Ysmault, which was declared forbidden territory to the Green Lantern Corps which replaced the unstable Manhunters.
