The flux singularity that arise when branes are put in an oppositely charged background is a wildly discussed issue and in this paper the problem is investigated further. New AdS world volume (anti-)M2-brane solutions are constructed by placing the brane in a background where the charge dissolved in the flux is opposite that of the brane. A topological obstruction is derived to show how the singularity develops during localisation of this solution and any similarly constructed solution. Furthermore the singularity is shown not to be possible to hide behind a horizon, which would have given credence to a possible M-theory resolution.
