9	Formerly Buddy Blank, OMAC is the result of the Global Peace Agency's efforts to create a super-soldier to fight threats in "The world that's coming!"
10	----
11	* ChestInsignia: OMAC has a Brother Eye symbol on his chest.
12	* {{Expy}}: In the foreword of the trade paperback of the original 8 issues, Mark Evanier tells the reader that Kirby had imagined ideas used in OMAC for an unused Captain America story for a Captain America (not Steve Rogers frozen again) set in the future.
13	* FoeTossingCharge: His signature combat maneuver is to simply tackle the largest cluster of opponents and smash them aside in a big pile.
14	* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: OMAC infiltrates a city rented out for a party by the criminal known as Mr. Big and is chauffeured in by two party-goers who note that his costume is "A Dandy" and "Original". Zig-zagged as they knew he was from the GPA but used him in order to kill Professor Myron Forest.
15	* InASingleBound: Can leap great distances.
16	* OneManArmy: It's in his name. One issue has him live up to the title, defeating an army of 100,000 soldiers.
17	* SplitPersonality: In the second issue, OMAC himself states that he has faint memories of being someone else.
18	* SplitPersonalityTakeover: The Global Peace Agency wants OMAC and has no use for Buddy Blank, he is OMAC all the time. OMAC himself doesn't mean Buddy any harm. He is hardly aware of Buddy's existence.
19	* SuperSoldier: The satellite Brother Eye transformed Buddy via "remote-controlled hormone surgery--from SPACE."
20	* SuperStrength: What did you expect from a One-Man Army?
21	* UtilityBelt: It is OMAC's belt that absorbs the power beams sent by Brother Eye.

28	----
29	* ArtificialIntelligence: A satellite in space capable of communicating with OMAC, although only he can hear Brother Eye.
30	* BondCreatures: Possesses a mental connection to OMAC.
31	* CyberCyclops: Has only one eye, which it uses to stare down on the Earth and observe OMAC and everything else.
32	* KillSat: While Brother Eye can send blasts from space, it could also empower OMAC, shield OMAC and others from missiles, and create fake dead bodies.
33	* SuperEmpowering: Brother Eye shoots a laser from space to not only transform Buddy into OMAC, but to also grant him more super-strength, or even make him as light as a bird.

41	* AlmightyJanitor: Buddy was a janitor before he was given the powers of OMAC.
42	* TheBusCameBack: OMAC turns back into Buddy in the last issue, but Buddy spends most of that time terribly confused about what's going on, and it's certainly implied he would have gotten re-transformed if the comic hadn't been cut off.
43	* MegaCorp.: Worked for Pseudo-People Inc. as a janitor.
44	* TheWoobie: Poor Buddy's life absolutely sucked before his transformation, and although that transformation lets him fight back against his persecutors, it was involuntary and essentially destroyed his identity.

51	----
52	* AmbiguouslyEvil: Between the faceless masks, their habit of using super-soldiers, the fact that their signature satellite is named "Brother Eye", and the fact that the series kicks off with them overwriting some poor guy's mind, they're pretty clearly a KnightTemplar group at best. Tragically, the series being CutShort means that it's hard to parse how deep it goes.
53	* GovernmentAgencyOfFiction: They operate somewhere between this and the UN.
54	* OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: They even wear face concealing masks.
55	* UnitedNationsIsASuperpower: They're essentially a future United Nations with very real power, to the point of being able to crush entire small countries.

61	OMAC's adopted test parents selected for him by the Peace Agency via a computer algorithm (think computer dating but for parental relationships instead of romantic ones).
62
63	----
64	* GoodParents: They try to do this for OMAC.
65	* GrannyClassic: Mrs. Barker at least looks the part.
66	* HappilyMarried: We see no evidence of any animosity between them.
67	* MuggleFosterParents: They have no powers, which was apparently part of the point.
68	* ParentalSubstitute: They were assigned to OMAC via a computer program.

77	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Sort of. He wants to save his girlfriend from Fancy Freddy's body snatching ring, but becomes doubtful when Fancy Freddy offers him money.
78	* EvilVersusEvil: OMAC forces him to help him against Fancy Freddy.
79	* MoralityPet: His girlfriend, who was kidnapped by his bosses.
