History
Origin
According to the Monitors, the Source Wall was a stationary cosmic structure that kept the 52 universes of the multiverse separate from one another. (Countdown v1 #39)
The New 52
Relic travelled to the Source Wall in order to breach it and access the reservoir of energy from the Emotional Spectrum. However, his experiments failed despite numerous attempts until the arrival of Kyle Rayner who was empowered by the Emotional Entities and the Templar Guardians where they agreed to help Relic. (Red Lanterns v1 #24)
At the Source Wall, Hal Jordan and Black Hand were confronted by Orion and the Divine Guard of the New Gods. During the battle, Black Hand would touch the Wall and awaken the creatures imprisoned within it to serve his will where he took them to New Genesis through a Boom Tube opened by Sinestro. Whilst battling the New Gods, Hand began to revert slowly into stone whilst the Source Titans changed from undead into living beings that went on a rampage on New Genesis until Kyle Rayner reclaimed the power of the White Lantern to send them away. (Green Lantern Annual v5 #3)
Overview
It was stated that the Wall actually surrounded each of the 52 universes with the space in-between it being filled with anti-life. The anti-life acted as a cushioning and as a repelling force that kept the universes separate from one another. (Countdown v1 #39)
The Wall was considered a fossil record of creation and as among the greatest font of knowledge. (New Gods: Godhead v1 #1)
It was the Limit even to Thought and beyond which lied only the Monitor-mind, the Source and the Unknowable. (The Multiversity v1 #1)
Notes

In other media
Television
- In Justice League Unlimited, the Source Wall appears in the final episode of the series named "Destroyer". At the time, a resurrected Darkseid had attacked Earth with the forces of Apokolips in order to get revenge against Superman. During the battle, Lex Luthor could see he could not defeat the villainous New God but encounters Metron who he forces to reveal a means in defeating Darkseid. Metron comments that this would be the Anti-Life Equation that resided at the Source Wall and takes Luthor to it on his Mobius Chair. They arrive at the Wall where Metron says that it would take only a twelfth-level intellect being the only one to survive the experience. Luthor simply threw himself into the Wall whereby he enters into the Source and gains the Anti-Life Equation which he offers to Darkseid leading to both of them disappearing thus ending the invasion.
