* GoodCounterpart: [[spoiler: To Perpetua. She was meant to be [[DemiurgeArchetype the ultimate balance between good and evil in the DC Multiverse]] but ended up being [[GodIsEvil rotten to the core]], The Darkness was meant to be [[TheAntiGod the ultimate force of evil in the DC Multiverse]] but ended up being [[DarkIsNotEvil a benevolent, neutral force]]. Both were stated to have influenced all the previous "Crisis" events but Perpetua's influence was intentional and had an agenda while any influence The Darkness may have had was subtle and part of it's nature. Both where controlled and eventually [[DragonAscendant usurped]] by a MoreVileMinion during a crisis event but Perpetua chose The Batman Who Laughs as her enforcer knowing full well how evil he was while The Darkness had no connection to Pariah before being corrupted by him.]]
