[edit] Title

1)They called the OMACs, not OMAC (plural)
2)Since they're the only article known as OMACS, they dont need a "(comics)" at the end. --DrBat 00:42, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

• 1) And...? Lion is about lions, but is not called "Lions". Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals) clearly says that it is preferred to use singular form for titles. "OMACs" is clearly used as a plural form for "OMAC", which is used often enough to warrant the article be named that. It also comes out pretty silly as "Omni Mind and Communities", but I digress.
  • Yes, but we're dealing with a group, not a species. And in the media, they're usually referred to in the plural sense. --DrBat 20:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

2)"(comics)" is necessary because there's already a vaild OMAC article. ' ^{(Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!)} 03:27, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Animated Series (Batman)

Does anyone remember an episode of the Batman Animated Series where an OMAC replica of Batman atempts to set in motion a plan to replace everyone on earth with a cyborg. But fails since it's [programed] similarity to the real batman forbids the taking of life?

I also recall an episode beforehand that introduces the replica's/OMAC cyborgs and Brother Eye.

[edit] Sentinel Simulatity

Aren't these OMACs a lot like the sentinels in marvel comics?-Giant89

I don't mean it as a discussion. I'm asking if that should be put in that article.-Giant89 15:11, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

No. WP:NOR. ' ^{(Feeling chatty? )}

And the connection between Sentry and Superman isn't?-Giant89 19:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm not certain how two wrongs make a right. I don't care for the Sentry and Superman articles. Go to their talk pages if you have a issue with them. ' ^{(Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!)} 20:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe that was a bad referance, but what I mean is does listing a simularity and a reference that might further explain it help. I'm not saying: wow DC stole their idea, I'm saying they have a simular concept. But I guess I'm not turning you to my side.-Giant89 03:50, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brother Eye

"Brother Eye" redirects here. I think it is an important enough character to have its own article. Is there any particular reason it doesn't?? Matt White 18:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

It redirects because BE doesn't currently have an article. If you want to give him/it an article, go ahead. --DrBat 00:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Emerald Eye similarity?

Would it be appropriate to note that Brother Eye is slightly similar in appearance (and sometimes speech to the Emerald Eye of Ekron? 65.12.103.198 01:30, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jay Garrick listed twice

Why is he listed twice under Alpha- and Beta-level? --Pentasyllabic 01:18, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, this is what I came to write about as well.why is Garrick listed twice.Did his threat level change during the story? maybe he was beta, and got upgraded to alpha, or vice versa. I would think this would be easy to tell if one of you has the story it happens in. Or maybe its an error in one of the comics. -Blues

[edit] Ollie and Mia

Is Mia supposed to be listed as bigger threat than Ollie, or is that a mistake?~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 15:27, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Omac1.PNG

Image:Omac1.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
