Omega the Unknown #9 (Gerber & Skrenes/Mooney, July 1977). Never mind! Steve and Mary are back, answers are for idiots, we’re here to consider the value of materialism and poetry.

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…
July 17th - Omega The Unknown
The mysterious hero known only as Omega was actually a sophisticated android heralding from the planet Protaris.  The population of this alien world were dying due environmental catastrophe.  Foreseeing their own end, the Protarians created a series of sophisticated androids who could continue their culture.  These androids traversed the cosmos learning from different worlds and different races.  
One such android, Model X3Z, arrived at the planet Srenesk, an earth-like planet where the android assumed a human-like physiology and learned a culture of extreme morality and nobility.  X3Z would go on to be granted the ability to control biospheric powers, gaining enhanced strength, flight and the capacity to fire energy bolts from its hands.  
Meanwhile, another such android arrived on earth and assumed the appearance of a young boy named James-Michael Starling.  These two beings shared a telepathic link exchanging their knowledge as well as Their abilities.
The Protarians became fearful of the extreme power Model X3Z had obtained and they sent their forces to destroy both X3Z as well as its counterpart on earth, James-Michael Starling.  
The Protarians’ attack on X3Z resulted in a terrible calamity that ended up destroying all life on the planet Srenesk.  X3Z traveled to earth to try to save its counterpart.  With his strange powers, X3Z was mistaken as a costume superhero and the symbols on his hands and headband led him to being referred to as ‘Omega.’  
Omega and James-Michael Starling were ultimately able to defeat the Protarians and Omega continued on as a superhero for a brief period of time.  Omega later perished in combat against the villainess, Ruby Tuesday.  The psychic feedback of the android’s death caused James-Michael Starling to die as well and the confusing tale of Omega The Unknown came to an abrupt end.  Alternate reality versions of Omega/X3Z have shown up here and there (most notably in a fun and bizarre miniseries in 2007). The enigmatic hero first appeared in Omega the Unknown #1 (1975).

Out this week: Marvel Masterworks: Omega the Unknown Vol. 1 (Marvel, $75):
Steve Gerber and Jim Mooney’s 1970s Marvel series told the story of James-Michael Starling and his connection to the super-powered being named Omega. Marvel collects the 10-issue series, along with Defenders #76-77 by Steven Grant and Herb Trimpe, which wrapped up the dangling plotlines from the cancelled series.
See what else is arriving in comic shops this week.

It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.
Tumblr media
On today's episode, I talk to comics creator Farel Dalrymple. Originally from Tulsa, OK, Farel Dalrymple has been creating comics for over two decades. While attending the School of Visual Arts in New York, he was one of the founders of the Meathaus Collective, who published the Meathaus comics anthology. And since then, he's written and illustrated a wide range of comics, worked with Jonathan Lethem on Omega the Unknown and created numerous creator-owned books like The Often Wrong, Proxima Centauri, It Will All Hurt, Pop Gun War and The Wrenchies. Many of these are on Image; all of them are worth your time!
