History
The OMAC Project
The Omni Mind and Community (O.M.A.C.) were cyborgs under the control of Brother Eye that were created through the use of virus that was derived from B-13 derived nanotechnology system taken from the United States Department of Defense and Lexcorp. (The OMAC Project v1 #6)
It was suspected that the O.M.A.C. strain was spread by covert means through standard vaccination vectors. (The OMAC Project v1 #6)
During the final battle with Brother Eye, there were an estimated one point three million OMAC units that were deployed around the world to eliminate the Metahuman Threat as dictated by the deceased Black King of Checkmate. (The OMAC Project v1 #6)
Aftermath
Members of Batman's Outsiders were dispatched on a covert mission to Jardine Tower at Central City belonging to Jardine Ltd who had within their possession an O.M.A.C. unit for study. The team were successful in infiltrating the facility but the O.M.A.C. activated where it attacked the heroes though they managed to defeat it. (Batman and the Outsiders v2 #2) It was returned to their base where it was studied by Batman and Francine Langstrom though Hawkgirl arrived from the Justice League as they expressed concerns over the captive of the O.M.A.C. The cyborg managed to break free and attacked the assembled superheroes who managed to defeat it once more. (Batman and the Outsiders v2 #3)
A group of O.M.A.C.s were dispatched by the resurrected Maxwell Lord where they attacked the new Blue Beetle Jamie Reyes. This attracted the attention of Captain Atom, Booster Gold, Ice and Fire who sought to defeat him. (Justice League: Generation Lost v1 #2) Further O.M.A.C.s were teleported to the site to serve as reinforcements which threatened to overwhelm the heroes until Blue Beetle used magnetism to stop them. The group of superheroes intended to use them as evidence of the existence of Maxwell Lord who had erased his existence from the world except for select individuals. However, a teleportation beam activated that removed the O.M.A.C.s from the scene with Booster Gold ordering his team mates to follow. Despite going through the beam, they had lost the O.M.A.C.s and were instead transported to Russia where they faced the Rocket Red Brigade. (Justice League: Generation Lost v1 #3)
A large of civilians were transformed into an army of O.M.A.C.s in order to deploy them against Wonder Woman. (Justice League: Generation Lost v1 #22) These began searching for the Justice League International to use them to track down Diana. (Justice League: Generation Lost v1 #23) Maxwell Lord was later defeated but publically blamed the resurgent O.M.A.C. incident on Professor Ivo. (Justice League: Generation Lost v1 #24)
- In an alternate future caused by Maxwell Lord, the Earth gets devastated by conflicts with one another with gigantic O.M.A.Cs roaming the world. (Justice League: Generation Lost v1 #14)
Overview
An Observational Metahuman Activity Construct was a cybernetic being that were created through nanobyte technology. (Justice League: Generation Lost v1 #3) The primary method of infection was through the OMAC virus. (The OMAC Project v1 #3) This was achieved through a controlled vector exposure by a virus that took the form of nanobots. Their blue skin was actually an external dermal casing that was composed of composite polymer/ceramite/metallic mixture. (The OMAC Project v1 #6) Its metallic composition meant that it was vulnerable to specific forms of magnetism. (Justice League: Generation Lost v1 #3)
One weakness to these cyborgs was the fact that they were vulnerable to electromagnetic pulses but one of the problems was getting past their shielding. It was believed that only the equivalent of fifty megaton nuclear blasts were able to achieve this feat but such an explosion would not only kill the OMAC host but everyone around them within the blast radius. (The OMAC Project v1 #6)
Once incorporated into an organic host, they became part of the machine and if thee host died then the O.M.A.C. unit was terminated as well. (The OMAC Project v1 #6) This allowed for innocent beings to transformed into such cyborgs where they remained as humans until they were activated and transformed into their O.M.A.C. forms. (Justice League: Generation Lost v1 #3)
