 OMAC Project #5 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
The OMAC word strings continue to add to the intelligence level of the comic, forcing you to think about what its particular way of thinking means to our heroes.
I still have to wonder though why the OMACS view heroes without special abilities as metas, such as Blue Beetle back in the first issue.
I also have to wonder just what else is behind their power if they have some “transmutation charge” that can change a Marvel hero back into her civilian identity.

 The Comic Treadmill: Crisis on Earth-H: Part 3 of 3: The Omac Project 1-6 (2005)
Of course, the white elephant in The Omac Project room is that its central premise is one that has been done to death over the last several years — a plan by Batman that gets co-opted by the bad guys and proves to be lethal to heroes.

An ungodly number of Omacs is overkill that can’t possibly engage the reader.

Your opponent should be short at least one character, and if you had Target Acquired to stun back his 5-drop last turn, he'll be down two guys.
