synopsis:
Members of the Global
Peace Agency
select an employee of Pseudo-People, Inc. named Buddy Blank to serve as
a candidate for Project OMAC. Scientist Doctor Myron Forest develops a
process that interfaces Buddy Blank with the orbiting satellite network
known as Brother Eye.
Brother Eye has the ability to remotely transmit energy and raw data
into Buddy Blank's body, transforming him into the One-Man-Army-Corps
known as OMAC. At Pseudo-People, Inc., Buddy Blank continues with his day to day
labors, unaware of the part he now plays as an instrument of the Global
Peace Agency. After suffering abuse from his coworkers due to his
clumsiness, Buddy is sent to the Psychology Section to get over his
frustrations. There he meets Lila, whom he believes is a fellow
employee. Buddy becomes enamored with Lila and is grateful to call her
his friend. Buddy and Lila part company and two uniformed men intercept
Lila and bring her down to Section D. Buddy arrives moments later
looking for her, but doesn't yet realize what he has stumbled into. The men of Section D are creating artificial women and using them
to lure citizens into traps. Once a selected individual gets too close
to one of their Pseudo-People, the automaton explodes, killing the
intended target. Buddy is horrified to discover what the company he
works for is actually producing. He is even more stricken when he
discovers that his new friend Lila is actually one of Pseudo-People,
Inc.'s weapons. He tries to get away, but the men running the operation
feel that he's seen too much and push him down into a chair. Buddy
suddenly feels himself overcharged with power as Brother Eye transforms
him into OMAC for the very first time. The men open fire on OMAC,
but this proves to be a fruitless endeavor. They try to flee, but OMAC
comes after them. With lightning reflexes, he barrels through them until
he gets to the assembly line. He sees a packaging cube containing the
factory parts of his artificial friend Lila. Though not entirely
sentient, Lila still wants to be OMAC's friend. Viewing these
Pseudo-People as a mockery of life, OMAC emits a burst of explosive
energy that starts a chain reaction destroying all of Section D.
