The dark emotional entity known as Umbrax is a timeless, primordial force of the cosmos connected to and acting at the center of The Invisible Spectrum.[1]
History
Origin
Some time in the past before his inauguration into the Green Lantern Corps, Sinestro spent his entire life looking into the sordid history of the Ultraviolet Corps.
What Sinestro found during his archaeological excursions terrified him to no end, and so he sought to make sure the unseen light stayed hidden forever.[1]
Release from the Source Wall
After the cataclysmic battle with the Dark Knights and the breaking of the Source Wall, a piece of the Wall known as the Totality broke free and unleashed exotic energies into the Universe, including six hidden primal forces.[2]
After this cosmic event the first of the primal energies, used to keep the others in check, was unleashed and broke the seal that kept Umbrax at bay. Umbrax unleashed its power over the Ultraviolet aspect of the Invisible Spectrum, claiming a myriad of fringe worlds under its hold, and adding it to it's Lantern Corps.
Sinestro initially opted to find and re-imprison Umbrax and its destructive ultimate power before it became unstoppable.[3] Except with coaxing by Lex Luthor, instead of sealing it away again, Sinestro helped unleash Umbrax upon the Earth.[3]
Now armed with the most powerful lantern light to ever exist, Umbrax set out to enrapture all of existence, with Sinestro at the helm of its army of worlds. Umbrax and Sinestro, alongside the Legion of Doom, attacked Earth and converted nearly every inhabitant of the planet into a member Umbrax's army. However, The Justice League was able to tap into the Earth's inherent connection to the White Light of Life, break Umbrax's hold on the planet, and beat back Umbrax for now.
