The Global Peace Agency (GPA) is a fictional law enforcement organization in the DC Comics Universe. The organization first appeared in the series OMAC by Jack Kirby, set outside the DC Universe.[1] GPA agents are nameless and faceless, using a "cosmetic spray to hide [their] features" because they supposedly "represent all nations."[2]
The Global Peace Agency was brought into the DC Universe proper in Final Crisis #7 (March 2009).

The origins of the Global Peace Agency trace back to the alien psych-historian race known as the Visionaries, whose dedications in preserving civilizations "preferably by indirect scientific means." One of the Visionaries, Professor Z, discovered that Earth was on the brink of self-destruction by its own human civilization that would bring forth the calamity known as the Great Disaster, and he urged the Visionaries' Council of Science to intervene on Earth's behalf. The Council supported Z's research and formed the Global Peace Agency. Disguised as humans, the members of the Global Peace Agency operated on Earth and became a benevolent, though powerful, law enforcement cartel.
The Global Peace Agency helped Earth's scientific community, particularly Doctor Myron Forest, to develop the Brother Eye satellite system, and they also initiated the OMAC Project which transformed meek stockroom clerk Buddy Blank into a "one-man army corps."
