Legion Log
Almost nothing is known of the being dubbed "Omen" by the Legion in their histories of the incidents on Trewsk and Khundia.

When the Astronomy Research Station on Trewsk was destroyed by solar flares, Omen witnessed the destruction and death but, according to "Prophet", did nothing to help save the lives of the scientists. Father Sven Kalikos was off-planet when the tragedy occurred, so was spared. Overcome with sadness, Father Kalikos flew his shuttle towards a solar flare; this was noticed by Omen, who saved his life and transformed him into "Prophet."

Later, when Omen noticed the absence of his "acolyte," he followed Prophet to Khundia. In an effort to understand humankind, Omen then absorbed Prophet.

Because the Khunds considered Omen (and Prophet, and the Legion) a threat, they attacked. Omen reciprocated, causing untold damage to Khundia. Dream Girl then activated the Khunds' "negaton bomb," which opened a dimensional rift of some kind. Before he had any opportunity to communicate who he was or what he wanted, Omen disappeared into the rift.

Omen never returned, nor did he appear in the Reboot or Threeboot.

After Infinite Crisis, Omen's original history has presumably been more or less restored.
