The Omega Men are a team of alien comic book superheroes in the DC Comics universe. Created by writer Marv Wolfman, they first appeared in Green Lantern #136 (1981).
Publication history
After appearances in Green Lantern, Action Comics and The New Teen Titans, the Omega Men were featured in their own comics series which ran for 38 issues from April 1983 to May 1986. During its run, writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen created the mercenary anti-hero Lobo. Later creators included writers Doug Moench and Todd Klein, and artists Tod Smith and Shawn McManus.
Fictional profile
The Omega Men hail from the Vegan star system, which as of the early 1980s had been ruled for centuries by the Branx warriors under a regime known as the Citadel. The team was assembled as a group of renegades and representatives of conquered Vegan worlds as a resistance force.
