I agree I thought they were going to catch on but I think they lost the concept quickly (seems to happen a lot with Keith Griffin books) and then they went for changes just to make it look like something is happening. Tigorr seems to be only one who really stuck around. Not remember seeing them post Rebirth.
Is there a pun in the proper noun (or is it adjective) Vegan?
"Have fun storing the citadel!"
The first time I ever heard of the Omega Men was in the middle of a four-or-five part story arc from ACTION COMICS involving the Late Silver Age villains Syren and Satanus. A bickering couple of super-wizards from an alternate-future Earth. After that came the complex articles, explaining their back story, in DC WHO'S WHO. The slave-trading Gordanians; the scientifically ruthless Psions; the Shaolin-like warlords of Okkara; and, of course, the tyrannical government of the Citadel.
Unfortunately, nobody in my neck of the woods ever sold Omega Men comics. And history repeated itself, even more disappointingly, with DC's "Haven" series. One mini-series and--BOOM!--back into publishing limbo.
Part of my problem with the Omega Men was that they seemed at the time to be just Yet Another Space Toy franchise (ala Rom, Tranformers, Micronauts, et al) without any Toys or a TV show. Also, they were introduced just before the COIE, when the DCU was already too large and confusing and adding a whole bunch of alien races to keep track of seemed too much like work.
id love the omega men on supergirl or legends of tomorrow
Maybe if they'd been from an alternate-Earth, DC would have revived them as part of their multiversal "Rebirth."

Still hoping for Razorback & Big Pig I -vs- Jack Burton and the ole Pork Chop Express.
Gee.. You mean the Omegas are Unknown?

@Simreeve; Ditto!
Never liked the Omega Men myself. I never found the characters and stories interesting, and the whole names-that-are-misspelled-English-words thing turns me off in general. (Koriand'r being the one exception to the rule.)
@BB: "U don't cei?"
Old Bahdnisian proverb.
@Cary: I'm Thunder-struck you'd even stoop that low.
The main problem with the Omega Men was I really did not care about the Vega system even when the Teen Titans went to rescue Starfire way back when. And I cared even less about the Omega Men as they had no particularly interesting or distinguishing personality traits in the stories I read.
