* CompleteMonster: [[VillainProtagonist Damien Thorn]] is TheAntichrist foretold in scripture. [[AntiAntiChrist Initially horrified by this revelation]], Damien eventually accepts his destiny, and sets out to TakeOverTheWorld. Making his lineage known in ''Film/DamienOmenII'', he incites an aneurysm in his cousin's brain when he refused [[WeCanRuleTogether his offer of world conquest]]. Becoming Ambassador to Great Britain in ''Film/OmenIIITheFinalConflict'', he decrees that every baby boy born on March 24, 1982, [[NiceJobBreakingItHerod be executed]] when he realized that the Second Coming of Christ was imminent. Among other atrocities, Damien coldly brainwashes Barbara into killing her husband and son with a clothes iron. Any redeeming traits that he may have had in the other films quickly dissipate once he gets romantically involved--and later rapes--a female journalist. Always the [[ManipulativeBastard charismatic figure]], Damien manipulates the journalist's young son into discipleship, only to remorselessly use him as a HumanShield when De Carlo attempts to kill him. Demonic, malicious, and blasphemous, Damien craved to fling the Earth into [[HellOnEarth eternal damnation]].

His [[FauxAffablyEvil outwardly friendly demeanor]] masks a depraved and calculating mind that is responsible for some unspeakable crimes. On Lawrence's orders, over a dozen women are raped by a demonic jackal with the goal of creating an AntiChrist who will prove so terrifying that people will have no choice but to turn away from secularism and back to the Church. Given that the conspiracy is ultimately successful with the birth of Damien, Lawrence can be blamed for the many innocent lives lost throughout the series.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: The novel ''Omen IV: Armageddon 2000'' is set in the year 2000, and at one point a character needs to look up a piece of information. He does so by requesting the use of a hotel's sole computer, which is a giant monstrosity that is wheeled into his room by the hotel staff. He asks the staff if the book he is looking for in the computer's database, to which the staff member assures him that the computer holds every book. Later, while using the computer, the character makes queries to the computer which then draws logical conclusions based on the questions he asks it, something which no computer in any era is able to do. Perhaps the author didn't realize that even in the future computers can only organize information, it's still up to people to draw conclusions from that data.

* AntiClimaxBoss: Damien never actually does much of anything that the Antichrist is prophesied to do. He never [[TakeOverTheWorld takes over the world]], or even a significant portion of it. His political manipulations consist of calling in a favor or two from the President to become the ambassador to Great Britain (rather than, you know, actually becoming President or someone as powerful as the President). He never "creates armies on either shore," let alone leads the world's armies at Armageddon to battle Jesus Christ. He doesn't even start a major international incident, let alone a third World War. Even his control (his "seven year reign") of Thorn industries doesn't lead to anything really significant as far as world affairs go. If Damien Thorn was a real person, he'd be less Adolf Hitler and more Steve Jobs. Even if you take into account the 33 children he ordered killed, Jim Jones killed almost 30 times that.
