Anti-Matter is an exotic from of matter found in the Negative Zone.
History
When supervillain Kondrati Topolov activated the Baxter Building's Negative Zone Portal without observing the proper protocols, it risked allowing anti-matter particles to leak into Earth's dimension. ("Clan and Family...")
Characteristics
According to Reed Richards, just one particle of anti-matter had the potential to trigger an explosion powerful enough to wipe out Manhattan.
Real World Background
According to current physics, antimatter is a form of matter composed of "antiparticles", counterparts to the particles that make up "ordinary" matter (antiprotons instead of protons, antineutrons instead of neutrons ect). Antiparticles are characterized as having reversed charge, parity and traveling backwards in time compared to their ordinary counterparts. In our universe, antimatter is produced by certain natural phenomena such as cosmic ray collusions and certain forms of radioactive decay, but only in extremly minute quantities. A collusion between an antimatter particle and its ordinary counterpart results in the mutual annihilation of both particles, releasing large quantities of gamma rays, neutrinos and deadly ionizing radiation.
