The flux singularity that arises for branes in oppositely charged fluxes is a widely discussed issue and in this paper the problem is investigated further. New AdS world volume (anti-)M2-brane solutions are constructed using space-filling branes placed in fluxes of opposite dissolved charge that is opposite to that of the brane. A topological obstruction is derived to show how the singularity develops during localization of this solution and any similarly constructed solution. Furthermore it is shown that it is not possible to hide the singularity behind a horizon, which would have given credence to an M theory resolution.
