OMAC (comics) - Wikiwand Batman's former bodyguard Sasha Bordeaux -- and Max's Black Knight -- turns against Max and alerts Batman of the murder; he reveals to the JLA both Beetle's death, his recollection of being mindwiped by the early Justice League, and his subsequent creation of Brother I, a metahuman- tracking satellite. Batman locates Sasha in one of Beetle's warehouses, and they are attacked by OMACs -- cybernetic monsters built around innocent human hosts. Max uses his mind-control powers to brainwash Superman and attack Batman; Wonder Woman is forced to kill Max to free him. Batman discovers a weapon that Beetle built that would stop the OMACs, and gathers a team of heroes to trap them; Sasha, revealed as cybernetic herself, is able to shut down others, but not before Rocket Red and others are killed. Batman states early on that the mind is the one true thing he can control; the body -- the heart -- can betray you, as with his feelings for Sasha. But we learn that the mind is just as tricky -- not only did the Justice League take Batman's memories from him, but Max Lord's specialty is corrupting the mind. In the end, we're given the sense that perhaps there is a value to the body; when Sasha Bordeaux decries her newfound mechanical status, Batman tells her she's not a machine solely because she can feel. This is complicated, however, by the newly autonomous Brother Eye, who Batman claims can't feel at all -- except it ends the story by taking revenge on Wonder Woman for her killing Lord. I've noticed that in the wake of Brad Meltzer's detailed Identity Crisis , much of the discussion surrounding Infinite Crisis has been in what the "theme" or "point" of the story is -- questions no one asked back in the day of Joker: Last Laugh or Day of Judgment. Keith Giffen demonstrated in I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League how these characters, despite all the jokes, truly care about one another; this was perverted, somewhat, when Maxwell Lord shot Blue Beetle in the head. But in a truly inspired moment, Guy Gardner teams up with Booster Gold -- without hesitation, and with all jokes laid aside -- to hunt for Beetle's killer, and when they get in touch with Fire, she's already been searching herself; Rucka also includes Super-Buddy Mary Marvel.

His most trusted knight. It was published on April 20, His most trusted knight, Sasha Bordeaux , begins to distrust her superiors. Sasha meets with another agent, Jessica Midnight , on the ramparts of the Checkmate compound. Midnight openly questions Max's brash actions, but Sasha is determined to keep her in line. While Jessica and Sasha settle their differences, Maxwell Lord goes inside to activate Brother Eye — a master satellite system capable of spying on anyone, anywhere on the globe. The satellite's creator, Batman , tries to regain control of Brother Eye, but has no idea who usurped control of the station from him. Infinite Crisis: The OMAC Project (Review) | the m0vie blog Home Comics The Omac Project. Okay, for those of you coming in late, here's your quick lowdown. Issue 1 Issue 1 So that man may live Ouch. This comic doesn't mess about. Within the first pages we are treated to the cold and heartless disposal of the body of the Blue Beetle, a much loved and fondly thought of B-hero who died via gunshot to the head. It's brutal, it's shocking, it's moving. Good comics should aspire to all this, but in the case of the loss of Blue Beetle I'm not convinced that the lonely death of a popular character is the way to go about it. Anyone could write the death of say, Superman and sell a million copies. Oh wait, they did that already! The death of a long-running character should mean more than a cheap way to draw readers in, which for the majority of fans was how this came across. His murderer, Maxwell Lord is ruling the secret ex-government task force known as Checkmate with an iron fist of tyranny, and while Sasha an ex of Batmans is part of the Checkmate team, and deeply sickened by what has occurred she daren't speak up for fear of her life. Indeed she carries on the pretense of being loyal knowing she is potentially monitored constantly by Checkmates mysterious "eye" computer system. Elsewhere, Batman realises the system he calls "brother" has seemingly gone out of contact with him. Beetles best friend, Booster Gold starts the search for his buddy, regretting the little attention that he and the other heroes gave Beetle when he felt he was under threat, quite correctly as it turned out - though Booster doesnt know that yet. Right now, Beetle seems to be just missing. Sasha finally gets a message to Batman and he realises that "brother" just became a threat. His secret system just went rogue though it's not clear to us readers yet just what it was capable of Issue 2 Once more Batman thinks back to his recent discovery in Countdown to Infinite Crisis that years prior he chanced upon some of the JLA members using magic to erase the memories of selected foes, effectively giving the unwilling recipient lobotomies. Enraged at this inhumane treatment carried out by a kangaroo court, Batman was also given the same enchantment to remove the knowledge of his team mates actions. To be fair, the "guilty" heroes were in a situation that many, including myself, felt demanded this radical step It is clear Batmans "brother" program is at least partially a response to his newly discovered lack of trust and faith in his colleagues. The rape and murder of Sue Dibny in Identity Crisis is discussed by Ted as a moment where the lighter and softer characters in the DC Universe were torn apart. Sue herself was treated as an embodiment of those earlier innocent times. She represented a better time for us.
