McFarlane Toys - DC Multiverse Eclipso (DC Classic) 7.7" Action Figure

OMAC units became a threat after Batman constructed the artificially-intelligent Brother Eye satellite to keep tabs on metahumans behavior. Corruption by Maxwell Lord cause Brother Eye to infect more than a million human agents with a nanotech virus and initiate a sweeping campaign against metahumans. Batman destroyed his creation during the Infinite Crisis, but the OMAC Project lived on in the form of its single surviving agent, Michael Costner.

Jack Knight came from a dynasty of Super Heroes. His father was World War II Super Hero Starman, and he was also related to the first Phantom Lady. However, he was content to let older brother David wield the Cosmic Rod as champion of Opal City. Jack preferred to pursue his love of history and popular culture. That all changed after David was assassinated. Jack Knight became Starman only after David’s murder was followed by an attempt on his own life. Using a prototype staff his father had discarded, Jack vanquished the killers and became the city’s protector. Despite reservations, he was drawn to the life of adventure and exploration, although he refused to wear a costume.

In the 1980’s, Todd McFarlane began drawing Batman professionally, working on the classic storyline “Batman: Year Two™” in Detective Comics, and creating iconic artwork, including his dynamic cover for Batman #423. Todd went on to become a titan of the comic book industry, but has always had an affinity for Batman, stating, “I’ve always liked the fact that Batman has no superpowers. When it comes down to it, he's just a dude in a costume. Conceivably, if you pushed him off a roof (Batarangs, etc. aside), he could potentially die, unlike Superman.”
