History
Pandora's Box was an artifact of antiquity, that could be used to contain beings of great power, possess beings, and open gateways to other worlds.
The box, presumably created by The Circle of Eternity, was originally used to imprison The Seven Deadly Sins. However, a mortal named Pandora found the box and opened it out of curiosity, releasing the sins from their prison.
Pandora kept the box, seeking numerous individuals in search of someone pure to return the sins to their isolation. When an individual touched the box, it possessed them, putting them into a destructive trance.
During the Trinity War, The Outsider was able to obtain the box, and used it to open a portal to Earth 3, allowing the Crime Syndicate to pass through to Prime Earth.
