In Brightest Day Deadman's White Lantern Ring teleported its wielder to Qward, uncloaked him and demanded that Deadman “FIGHT”. The meaning behind these words quickly became clear as Deadman found himself staring up at the ominous form of The Anti-Monitor, who appeared more than ready to crush Deadman like an insect. Once Seeing him, The Anti-Monitor demanded to know who Deadman was, but before he could answer the constructs of those who became White Lanterns during the Blackest Night erupted forth from The White Lantern Power Ring and sent The Anti-Monitor crashing into a mountainside.
While The Anti-Monitor was bouncing back from the hit, Deadman asked the ring if the twelve superheroes and villains who had been resurrected after Blackest Night had been brought back to stop The Anti-Monitor, to which the ring replied "NO." When Deadman realized The Anti-Monitor was getting up, he attempted to use The White Lantern Ring's power to bring him down only to find that the ring would not fire. The Anti-Monitor then blasted Deadman off the side of a cliff, making Deadman's situation worse as the ring had made it so he could no longer fly. When Deadman realized that the ring had sent him to fight The Anti-Monitor as a lesson in learning to stay alive, he promised that with the ring he would try. Knowing his promise rang true, the ring sent Deadman back to The DC Universe, leaving The Anti-Monitor to contemplate exactly what had just happened.
The Raymond/Rush Firestorm locate Deathstorm and the Anti-Monitor on Qward. Firestorm is about to battle Deathstorm and the rest of the Black Lantern Corps heroes when Deathstorm expels Martin Stein from him. Deathstorm transmutes Martin Stein into salt. Firestorm attempts to save Martin Stein. Stein told Ronnie that he was always a son to him and that Jason Rush will be better for him as part of Firestorm. Ronnie with the help of Jason vaporize the Black Lantern Corps and Deathstorm. The White Lantern taked Firestorm back to Earth for accepting Jason Rush and expels Jasons father from Deathstorm and places him back on earth. The Anti-Monitor is left to wonder what happened once again.
