However, Nekron had a plan: the Blackest Night. Several times since his existence was revealed, Nekron attempted to enter our universe and destroy all life, but each time he was repelled by its heroes, most notably the Green Lanterns. He seeks to bring an end to all life, extinguishing the light of emotion and bringing the universe back to its original state of being: darkness and death. For eons, he was trapped in the Land of the Unliving, a kind of limbo dimension where dead souls linger before judgment, but the death of the immortal Krona brought the universe of the living to his attention. Nekron is the shadow cast by the light of life and emotion. The universal personification of oblivion-the absence of all light, life, and emotion.

Though Nekron was defeated, the consciousness of the Black Lantern Firestorm remained in the Firestorm Matrix soon splitting off and naming himself Deathstorm. Their rings animate the dead, giving them whatever abilities and memories they had in life (though the souls are absent) along with flight and ridiculous levels of regeneration. They've been manipulating heroes and Lanterns to make them experience pure extreme emotions which they can feed upon. The Black Lanterns devour the light of all other Lanterns (whose lights are supposed to collectively represent Life). The being behind it all is Nekron, the avatar of Death, who claims that the natural state of the universe is eternal darkness and death absent of time and that the light of creation and life is but a temporary disturbance of that state and to that end, death has stirred to restore this "peaceful" state of rest.
