Omac is an interesting character/concept that I wish DC did more with. Despite his relative obscurity, he's had numerous high points in his life as a character. That being, his original series, written and drawn by Marvel legend Jack Kirby, a subsequent early 90s mature readers miniseries, written and drawn by comics superstar John Byrne, a reimagining of the Omac concept, tying in to the best selling Infinite Crisis event, written by Greg Rucka and drawn by Jesus Saiz, and finally Dan Didio and Kieth Giffen's New Fifty Two revamp of the character.
Considering his short but notable history, this leads me to ask: what Is your favorite iteration of...

Jack Kirby's OMAC followed by Jim Starlin's short run on the character, is by far, my favorite version.

I really liked the John Byrne paradox OMAC. Also, the art was fantastic.
