Mathematic formulas have unique powers within the Multiverse, manifesting in differing ways depending of the universe they exist within, and that realm’s specific physics. Within Earth-One’s reality this includes the formulas generated by dialing H-Dials, while Earth-Two’s reality operates under a different principle where one can simply utter such a math formula.
Then there is the unique Anti-Life Formula, which can take away a society’s collective willpower, allowing the person possessing this formula to dominate the minds of a people. Darkseid of the extra-dimensional planet Apokolips sought this formula on Earth-One, attempting to capture select individuals each possessing a portion of it.
One of Grodd’s intelligent minions from Gorilla City journeyed from that world to Earth-Two, utilizing a weapon upon Johnny Chambers allowing the gorilla to mentally manipulate the reporter’s mind*. This caused him to utter an altered version of his speed formula, “3x2(9yz)4ax”. This “X” factor unleashed an evil attitude within Chambers, as he transformed into the super speedster known as Johnny Quick. Thankfully, the effects were temporary.
The sinister simian’s gun may have channeled the Force of Mind which Grodd and his arch-enemy, Gorilla City leader Solovar, each possess. This mind-control may itself be a version of the Anti-Life Formula, one also possessed by Grodd’s Earth-Two counterpart Ultra-Humanite.
One other variation of a power-inducing formula was that conceived by the evil Doctor Thaddeus Sivana. He found the key combination of number and letters to access the fourth dimension, becoming intangible!
* This also caused Johnny to forget he had previously met, and worked with, the Flash... when they were members of the All-Star Squadron!
