OMAC #3



Mind prepared to be blown!


According to the cover, OMAC is going to be fighting The Shrimp Faced Man. He is on his way to Louisiana, so that makes sense! But also according to the cover after I learned to read a little more, he's actually called The Psi-Fi Man! Get it?!

This month's adventure is called:




These titles sound like games from the television show, Banzai!


Kevin finds himself in Shreveport without any money. So Brother Eye talks to him from an ATM machine and begins spitting out money. Brother Eye also put Kevin on the FBI's most wanted list so that he'd be arrested and thrown in a prison where the Psi-Fi Kid is running everything! That Brother Eye is just a manipulative jerk. And everything always works out exactly how he planned it! So he's a smart ass as well.




Fasten your helmet belts!


This is the Psi-Fi Man. He can sense Brother Eye and he knows about OMAC. He may want to do to Brother Eye what Brother Eye wants to do to him: absorb his power and information into his super mind. Brother Eye senses it too and cuts his conversation with Maxwell Lord short so he can concentrate on the battle against Psi-Fi Man.

Meanwhile, Maxwell Lord has traced Brother Eye's transmission to his satellite. Lord sends a team of elite Checkmate agents to destroy the satellite. The agents are Sarge Steel, Little Knipper, and Maribel. Ooh! Sounds so threatening!




Try and guess who's who! Hint: Little Knipper is neither an ironic nor a racist nickname.


Oops! Correction. Apparently Maxwell Lord gave his team coordinates to the prison where OMAC just transformed. I guess that makes more sense than sending them into orbit without any spacesuits. Although their 'ambient tech' could probably have transformed into spacesuits. Checkmate's 'Ambient Tech' really just looks like Green Lantern's power ring. They can make weapons and things from their thoughts alone. Too bad the Oans didn't get a patent on the technology. Dumb dumbs!

And then a whole bunch of action takes place that isn't mind blowing at all! The cover lied in puns! What does happen is Psi-Fi Man takes a back seat to the Checkmate and doesn't appear again until the end of the issue where the reader learns he escaped during the melee. Checkmate gets OMAC on the ropes and Brother Eye berates him the way your coach who is also your father berates you on the baseball field.




OMAC should just hold on to the ball when the next kid bunts it to him and let everyone score. Then walk off the field to his mommy. That'll show Brother Eye!


This whole situation pisses OMAC off and he yells, "SHUT UP!" while smashing everything. I'm pretty sure he wanted to yell, "OMAC SMASH!" but the lawyers wouldn't let him. After that, OMAC heads home.




That is probably just the right amount of things to be said.
