Earth-Three

The antimatter Ultraman was a human astronaut, whose ship was imploded into hyperspace and an unknown alien race reconstructed Kent in an attempt to repair the damaged astronaut, which ended up altering the human both mentally and physically, giving him ultrapowers. The process also twisted his mind. Ultraman's power relies on his proximity and exposure to a substance called Anti-Kryptonite; the longer and farther he is separated from it, the weaker he becomes. Ultraman is unhappily married to his Crime Syndicate teammate Superwoman. In the early 2000s, the two had a child together.

In the New 52, Ultraman comes from a version of Krypton whose people worship strength and despise weakness. He went on to found the Crime Syndicate and take over the world. Ultraman values strength and selfishness, and hates weakness and altruism. After Earth-3 was devastated by the same being that destroyed Krypton, Ultraman led the Crime Syndicate to the main DC Earth to conquer it. This version of Ultraman is empowered by Kryptonite (and even snorts it like a drug) and is hurt by sunlight. After being defeated by the Justice League, Ultraman is in the custody of the authorities.

In the antimatter universe, Thomas Wayne, Jr. was the older brother of that reality's Bruce Wayne. Young Bruce was killed along with his mother by a policeman when Thomas, Sr., refused to accompany him for questioning. Thomas, Jr., escaped the crime and grew up to become Owlman. Equipping himself with a utility belt containing technology and weapons, along with possessing a drug-enhanced high intellect, Owlman became a master criminal. While Ultraman is the leader of the Syndicate, Owlman is the real brains behind the group. Further complicating things is the fact that Thomas, Jr., has carried on a longtime affair with Ultraman's wife Superwoman. Ultraman is aware of the affair, but due to Thomas, Jr., having undisclosed photographic blackmail material against the villain, he is unable to seek retribution against Owlman for the betrayal.

In the New 52, Thomas, Jr. had planned with his servant, Alfred, the murder of his parents so he can inherit all of the Wayne fortune before their parents throw all of their money away. Alfred eventually fulfilled the plan, killing both Waynes and young Bruce. After that, Thomas Wayne, Jr. had become the richest boy in Gotham City. He grew up to become Owlman and he eventually joined the Crime Syndicate. He had a secret affair with Ultraman's wife and teammate Superwoman. Thomas later took under his wing, Richard Grayson, and he eventually became his sidekick, Talon. He along with the rest of the Crime Syndicate moved to the main DC Earth to conquer it. After being defeated by the Justice League, Owlman is mentioned to still be at large.

In the antimatter universe, taking the alias Lois Lane, Superwoman is an Amazon by birth as she was born on Damnation Island, and has risen through the ranks to become the chief editor of the Daily Planet in what she calls "Patriarch's World". It is mentioned that she had murdered all of her fellow Amazons. A compliant sexual deviant, he does what she tells him in exchange for the favour of watching when she changes her outfit and receiving pieces of it for his "disguise kit". Superwoman has also joined the Crime Syndicate. She is married with teammate Clark Kent/Ultraman, who hates Superwoman's frigidity towards him, while carrying on a torrid affair with Owlman, and they sneak trysts whenever they feel Ultraman is not watching. Her magic lasso is able to release the inhibitions of anyone tied with it and she also possesses heat vision.

In the New 52, Superwoman/Lois Lane along with the remaining Syndicate members arrive on Prime Earth to conquer it. Her true past and identity are still a total mystery. She carries the lasso of submission, which compels the tied individual to obey and love the wielder. She is pregnant and engaging in a secret affair with Owlman, while being married to Ultraman. It was finally revealed that Superwoman is in a relationship with the crazed Alexander Luthor. She betrays Ultraman and the Syndicate, revealing she and Luthor are carrying a child who is prophesied to bring an end to the world. After being defeated by the Justice League, she is placed in captivity. Immune to Wonder Woman's lasso of truth she does not reveal any information.

In the antimatter universe, Johnny receives his powers by injecting himself with a drug called "Speed Juice". Johnny had a predecessor, whom he killed and whose blood was used to create the drug. He is hopelessly addicted to it and goes into massive physical withdrawal without it. As part of the Tribute the world's leaders present the Crime Syndicate with on a regular basis, they supply Quick with fresh supplies of his drug, sometimes altered to be more euphoric. His real name is unknown. This Johnny Quick is considered to be Wally West's counterpart rather than Barry Allen's.

In The New 52, Johnny Quick is one of the members of the Crime Syndicate to arrive on Prime Earth in order to conquer it. He was a high-profile criminal, on the run with his equally criminal girlfriend, Rhonda Pineda. "Johnny and Rhonnie", as they were known, ended up cornered on the roof of S.T.A.R. Labs during a storm. Lightning hit a satellite, electrocuting Johnny, causing him to gain his powers.^[6] After that he and his now also empowered girlfriend, joined the Syndicate and became a supervillain. Once on Prime Earth, when Lex Luthor's team infiltrates the fallen Watchtower, Johnny Quick joins in the fight against them where Captain Cold uses his freeze gun to freeze Johnny Quick's leg and break it off. Then when Alexander Luthor from Earth-3 is freed, he kills Johnny Quick and steals his powers.^[8]

In the antimatter universe, Joseph Harrolds, after a period of conquerance and domination as a member of the Crime Syndicate of Amerika, was able to trick an unnamed, weak-willed and cowardly slave marine (Kyle Rayner's counterpart), into accepting the ring and the power lamp that contains the mad god Volthoom so he could escape the insane god constantly trying to overwhelm his mind. This unnamed individual became the second Power Ring and joined the Syndicate too. When the antimatter universe was reconstructed, certain elements of the antimatter universe's history had been changed, and the second Power Ring's physical appearance was changed from a Caucasian blonde man to an African-American bald man (John Stewart's counterpart). However his origin and anonymity remained the same. In his later appearances, Power Ring once again resembles his original version (Hal Jordan's counterpart).

In The New 52, Power Ring is one of the members of the Crime Syndicate to arrive on Prime Earth in order to conquer it. Harold works as a janitor at Ferris Air, where he spies on Carol Ferris' operations to sell them out. Abin Sur's ring of Volthoom chooses Harold. Abin begs Harold to take the ring, which he does, freeing Abin Sur. Harold quickly realizes his mistake, as the ring opens a pocket dimensional portal to charge itself, unleashing a creature that attacks Harold. Wielding the ring causes Harold Jordan great pain and the cursed weapon often acts on its own accord. Once on Prime Earth, Power Ring battles Sinestro, but Sinestro cuts off his right arm, releasing him from the ring's control. Power Ring thanks Sinestro for freeing him from his curse. Sinestro welcomes his thanks and incinerates him. The ownerless ring then flies off to find a new host.^[10]

In the antimatter universe, a White Martian was member of the Syndicate and was Ultraman's chief rival until he killed him.

In the antimatter universe, Lex is he only known hero. Most of Luthor’s history has not been revealed.

In The New 52, Alexander Luthor is revealed as Mazahs, the Earth-3 version of Shazam. The Crime Syndicate have brought Alexander, their prisoner, with them to the Prime Earth. Lex Luthor and his team sneak in to the Justice League Watchtower where the Syndicate has Alexander hostage, and remove the duct tape holding his mouth closed. As soon as this is done, Alexander speaks the word, 'Mazahs', transforming himself into the muscular, highly powerful being, and killing the Syndicate's speedster Johnny Quick. It is also revealed that Superwoman is in a relationship with Alexander and is responsible for tricking her teammates into bringing him with them. She also reveals she is carrying his child, who is prophesied to bring an end to the world. Exploiting his ability to use the powers of those he has killed, Mazahs easily takes down both the Syndicate and Luthor's team, but the original Lex Luthor (having the same voice as Mazahs) manages to call down the lightning and transform Mazahs into his human form. Sealing Alexander's mouth, Lex stabs him with a knife, killing him.^[8]

The people of Krypton of Earth 3 had gained great power from the radiation of their world, but through the machinations of Jor-Il, a mysterious being came to their planet and began a process that would lead to the planet's destruction.

In the antimatter universe, Edward Nashton was fascinated by puzzles and games from an early age. He was academically active - at one point considered one of the smartest men on his Earth - and naturally inclined to altruism. He married and had children. He also operated as a crimefighter under the moniker "the Quizmaster", eventually becoming a founding member of the Justice Underground. He was a thorn in the side of Owlman and the Crime Syndicate of Amerika for many years. He later has the right half of his face burned by Ultraman, leading him to don a half-face and temporarily take on the name "Enigma".

In The New 52, Talon is the Dick Grayson of Earth-3. His parents were acrobats and money launderers, who ran a corrupt circus. Dick also had a sister, Rachel.

In Countdown it is revealed that she originates from Earth-3 and she is the daughter of The Jokester and Evelyn Dent. She was raised by her mother and her stepfather, the Riddler, and together the three formed the Riddler Family. When she was finally introduced to her birth father, she dropped cryptic hints implying that she or her consciousness shifts unknowingly from Earth to Earth, which is the source of her parental confusion. When the Jokester joined the Riddler Family, Duela revealed that she had been in a relationship with Talon, Owlman's teenaged sidekick. The Jokester renounced her as his daughter and Duela left with Talon moments before the Crime Society stormed their apartment.
