Omniscient POV
The sky over Chicago was now orange with the hue of the sunset, and David Hiles had finally gotten home from his job teaching AP Physics at Reginald Vel Johnson High School. He sighed with exhaustion and exasperation, as he dropped the briefcase and papers he brought back from school.
Less than 10 years ago, he used to work as a weapons engineer for a military sanctioned research firm. The pay was far better, and he didn't have to force himself to act like he didn't despise being around teenagers. But most importantly, his son was still alive. To this day, he still remembers how he felt when he got the news that his son had committed suicide.
His son had been constantly pestered and belittled by bullies at school. They'd accost him, steal any money he'd take to school and blow it on alcohol, vapes, and frivolous things. Unable to take the harassment, his son took his own life. The grief that came afterward caused David and his wife to grow apart, and eventually get divorced. The stress brought on by the grief and the divorce caused him to become less productive and make mistakes at his job, and he was eventually fired.
The children that drove his son to suicide got five years in juvenile detention, which he saw as nothing more than a slap on the wrist. He would have taken out some sort of revenge on them, but he knew that it would amount to nothing. His dead son wouldn't return, his ex-wife wouldn't take him back, and the firm he worked at definitely wouldn't hire him again. But he still felt that he had to do something.
While reminiscing about his past, David opened the door that led to his basement, and in there was his latest work – a male student he had kidnapped and strapped another one of his bomb vests onto. The student was amongst those that he had noticed did similar things to those that bullied his son to death. Funnily enough, he was amongst Todd Williams' clique, which Terrence Jefferson and Derek Sanders, another student he was planning on making an example of, were also a part of.
Since he knew that taking revenge on the children that he felt essentially killed his son, he decided that he would instead prevent the same from happening to others… by killing such students before they could push another child to that point. He knew he'd eventually get caught, but decided that until that day, he would continue this crusade of his.
The vest on the boy wasn't complete just yet, as David hadn't attached the actual explosives onto it. He was going to complete that over the next few days, then move the boy to a mall, preferably one that got a lot of traffic. However, before he could get to work, he was interrupted by the loud sound of multiple sirens approaching his house. For a moment, he wanted to believe that they were in the neighborhood for someone else, but the loud knocks at his front door dashed those hopes.
"David Hiles! We have a warrant for your arrest! Come out with your hands up!" A police officer shouted at him from outside. The jig was up. David had expected to be caught, but he hadn't expected it to be this soon. He looked to the end of the room, where an incomplete bomb vest was resting, one he was preparing for himself. He had been prepared to die from the get-go, and if he was going down, then he'd do so with a bang. He simply hadn't been prepared to be caught so quickly.
Seeing that he didn't have the time to complete that one, he moved to hastily complete the one on his victim, only to have his hand grabbed by one clad in black and green. "Why couldn't you just surrender?..." Codex, who had phased into the building through the roof, said with a disappointed sigh. The clone that he had sent with Terrence brought the police up to speed, and helped fast-track the issuance of a warrant for David's arrest.
When he returned, the police were already on their way to David's house, while his clone was flying above them. He quickly took the clone's place, while it flew away to take care of other things. While the police called out for David, Codex phased through the roof of the house, going all the way down into the basement, catching David just as he tried to arm the vest on the victim, who he identified as Calvin Morgan, a student who he frequently saw hanging around Todd and Terrence.
Before David could react to his presence, Codex put his left hand to his Physics teacher's face, and sprayed Nemuina dust, immediately sending him into a deep slumber. He laid David on the floor, then took out one of the devices that his clones had created to deal with David's bomb vests and pushed it against the vest on Calvin. The nanites that made up the device activated, spreading over the vest and getting into its connection points.
The main danger of the vest to the victim, apart from the explosives, was that it was connected to the victim's circulatory system. This made removing the vest while keeping the victim alive extremely difficult. But the nanites allowed for the vest to be disconnected while keeping danger to the victim at a minimum. As the connections were severed, the vest slipped off Calvin's body, and the final part of the device revealed itself.
A marble-sized ball of hydrogel containing a small amount of Regen Serum was held at the center of the device, and after the vest came off, it was taken into his body by the nanites, where it dissolved and let the serum flow into his bloodstream, healing the incisions and wounds that David had given him. Seeing that Calvin was still unconscious, Codex controlled the metal table he was on, using it as a stretcher, then picked up David, and took them both out of the house.
Upon exiting the house, he handed the unconscious David to the cops, and Calvin to the paramedics that were on standby. "The bombs are inside. They aren't armed, so the bomb squad has got nothing to be too careful about." He told the officer that was leading the police, then began flying away. He had no issues with leaving the nanites with Calvin, as once they finished healing him, they'd go inert and be flushed out of his system through all forms of excretion, leaving nothing for any curious minds to find.
As Codex flew farther away, he smiled to himself, happy that even if it was something he saw as minor, he had altered someone's fate for the better.
…
A lime-green Honda Accord parked in front of the Grayson family home, and out of the car, with a purse in hand, came Cassandra Tennant. It had been a year since she last visited the Graysons, and even then, she was still being helped along the worst of her grief over Francis' death by Debbie, and now she had come to ask Debbie's help once again. She felt guilty for doing so, but she knew no one else who could help her at this point.
She rang the doorbell and waited for some seconds, and just as she was about to ring it again, the door was quickly opened by Debbie, who looked at her friend with shock. "Cass!" Debbie shouted, and wrapped the brunette woman in a hug. "Hey, Debbie." Cassandra replied, returning the hug. "Please, come in." Debbie said, guiding her inside.
After getting Cassandra seated, Debbie handed her a cup of hot cocoa and sat down beside her, noticing the contemplative look on Cassandra's face. "How've you been, Cass?" She asked. "I've been… better since then." Cassandra responded, but her countenance remained the same. While Debbie was somewhat relieved that Cassandra's grief hadn't broken her, she was concerned that something else had caused her to have this somber air about her.
"How do you do it, Debbie?" Cassandra finally spoke after almost a minute of silence. "Do what?" Debbie asked, and Cassandra then let out a sigh. "All of this. How do you not worry about Nolan when he goes out there every day?" Debbie was surprised that she would ask that, especially since Nolan's public identity was that of a famous fiction writer. "What do you mean? He just stays in most of the time…" Debbie began explaining, but was interrupted by Cassandra.
"I know he's Omni-Man, Debbie." Cassandra said, stopping her in her tracks. A lot of questions immediately ran through Debbie's head when she heard Cassandra say that, but the one at the forefront of her mind came out first. "How?" "Benny told me. You've known how he can be, stubborn and just a bit nosy." Cassandra replied with a sigh.
As Cassandra said that, something clicked in Debbie's head, as she gained an idea of why she came over. "Ben's a superhero, isn't he?" She asked, and Cassandra's shoulders shook slightly. "Yeah. You might have actually heard of him, since he started about four months ago." Cassandra said, and Debbie, who knew Mark had become Invincible at around the same time, started running through her mind, thinking of any heroes that came onto the scene at a similar point.
"He told me his superhero name is Codex." Cassandra said before Debbie could finish piecing together his superhero identity. The reveal had surprised Debbie, but when she tried piecing it together, it made sense. Mark had taken up his own superhero mantle around the same time that Codex began his own superhero endeavors, and there had been multiple times that she had seen news segments showing the two boys teaming up.
"When he told me he had powers, I… I got scared. For a second, I didn't see my son, and when I eventually did, I could only see him getting hurt." Cassandra said, choking up as tears began to form in her eyes. But even through her tears, she smiled. "But ever since he became a hero, he's only been… amazing." She said, fully appreciating the good her son had done in his comparatively short time as a superhero.
"But I still can't stop worrying that he might meet something… or someone that he can't stop, and…" She said, with her voice hitching multiple times, as the image of Ben falling victim to some supervillain, or failing to stop some natural disaster and dying, played in her mind. Debbie put a hand on her shoulder, hoping to ground her even a little bit.
"I understand how you feel, Cass. I'll be honest… I sometimes feel the same about Mark." She said, and upon hearing her refer to Mark instead of Nolan, Cassandra stopped, suddenly getting grounded by the perceived incongruence. "What do you mean, Mark?" She asked.
"Oh, Ben didn't tell you? I thought he would have, seeing as he and Mark work together a lot, at least, when they meet up out there." Debbie said, and Cassandra – who had locked into news regarding superheroes more tightly, what with Ben becoming Codex, figured out Mark's superhero identity, as there was one hero that he worked more than any other. "I see. So Mark's Invincible. I guess it makes sense, since those two have been thick as thieves since their days playing baseball together." Cassandra said with a sigh, feeling a bit relieved that Ben at least had someone familiar in his current line of work.
"You asked me how I don't worry about them, right?" Debbie asked, pulling Cassandra's attention back to her. "The truth is that I still do." She said, surprising Cassandra. "I know how that sounds, especially since my husband is the oh-so-great Omni-Man. But with the amount of crazy stuff out there, you really can't be sure that something dangerous to get even him won't show up." She said, then took a sip from her mug.
"The only way you can reduce your worry is to… well, believe in him. At least, that's what's worked for me with Nolan and Mark." She said, hoping that Cassandra would be able to find some respite in doing as she had. "As stupid as it sounds, trusting that they'll come back at some point is what's worked best for me. I can only hope that it works for you too, Cass." She said, and Cassandra went into contemplation.
The pain of losing Francis was still somewhat fresh in her mind, so the fear that Ben could possibly die while out doing superhero work was at the forefront of her mind. So, even though Ben had promised her that he'd make sure to return home, she found it difficult to not think that there might come a day when he never returns. But now, the thought of just trusting him, and if not that, trusting the capabilities he's shown, felt oddly calming.
"Thanks, Debs. I don't know if it'll work for me, but I'll give it a shot." Cassandra said, and Debbie smiled. "There's the girl that became my friend." Debbie said, lovingly nudging her shoulder. "Oh, shut it, you." Cassandra responded, with her face subconsciously shifting into a smile.
"Well, at least, all this explains how you and Nolan always went on all those vacations. You're gonna have to tell me all about that." She said, wanting to draw the conversation away from herself. "Oh, you have no idea, there was this one time when I gave him flowers, and he took out a whole tree, since he thought that 'the tree has more flowers'." Debbie said, her voice giving Cassandra a sense of relief, and they continued to talk, the sounds of happy banter flowing between them as the hours passed.

Москва(Moscow), Russia
"I mean, he is a fish person. I think you should maybe be nicer to him. It must be hard for him to make friends." Olga said to Josef, talking about Aquarus, as they had a calm picnic on a grassy hill that allowed them a beautiful view of the city. "Olga, he has a whole ocean of friends, but you're right, I'll--" Josef began replying but stopped, as he noticed something going on within the city.
In one of the many factories littered around the city, an electrokinetic supervillain was terrorizing the workers, throwing lightning bolts at them, which some of the dodged, causing the bolts to crash into walls and pipes.
"Run! I want to see fear in your eyes!" The villain, Kursk, shouted as he hurled a lightning bolt just slightly past a worker's head, and into a pipe. "The same fear--" But before he could complete the sentence coming out of his mouth, a red streak suddenly passed by, and by the time he had regained his bearings, he was tied up on a sturdy metal pipe, with multiple insulating cables restraining him.
"—do my best to make friends with the guy." Josef continued, finishing his sentence, with a slight breeze quickly passing by. Olga turned her eyes to him, and a frown quickly made its way onto her face. "Josef! You promised!" She scolded her husband, who was now dressed in his Red Rush outfit. "Huh?" He said, then looked down and realized his mistake. He quickly changed back into the attire he was wearing before he went to deal with Kursk.
"Oh, crap." He said, with his face in his palms. "How is this going to work if I can't hold your interest through one conversation?" Olga asked, genuinely upset that he had gone out to deal with Kursk in the middle of their date.
"Hold my interest? Olga, please. You can't see things how I do. My perception is just as fast as I am. The briefest conversation with anyone seems like hours to me. It's agony." He said, but stopped as he saw the hurt that showed on Olga's face as she turned away from him. "But with you, it's a gift. Your voice is like music." He said, tenderly holding her hand and gently turning her face to him. "You're a thoughtful, compassionate, beautiful woman. I hang on your every word."
Despite being peeved by his earlier actions, his affectionate words eased her anger, even causing her to blush. "Hmm. You mean that?" She asked. "I do." Josef responded with a smile, hoping that their date could go on. However, the beeps that came from his wrist would ensure that the date ended prematurely.
"That's…" Olga said, as her countenance sinking with disappointment. "Guardians emergency. I'm so very sorry." Josef said, sad that their date had been interrupted. "It's fine. I understand. Go." As the last syllable left Olga's lips, Josef changed back into his Red Rush costume, kissed her cheek, then ran off to the Guardians' headquarters.

Denver, Colorado, USA
Bi-Plane flew over the city with his jetpack, and not far behind him was the Immortal, who had come to subdue him.
"Denver is toast, Immortal! I'm going out, and I'm taking the whole city with me!" He shouted, putting his hand over the trigger of the detonator in his hand. Unfortunately for him, he went too into his monologue, causing him to not notice the Immortal quickly closing onto him.
"I've lined my suit with plutonium!" Before Bi-Plane finished getting his words out, the Immortal rushed him, grabbed his leg, and threw him into orbit as he screamed.
"When in doubt, throw them into space." He said, then crushed the detonator that he had swiped from Bi-Plane. Right as he finished speaking, the communicator on his wrist started beeping in alarm. As he noticed it, he immediately flew off to the Guardians' headquarters.

Atlantis, The Atlantic Ocean
In the underwater city, Aquarus sat on his throne, bored as always, waiting for some sign of action. Just as he though that, the communicator on his wrist began beeping, alerting him to an emergency call from the Guardians' headquarters. "Finally, some action!" He shouted, then flew out of the city faster than a torpedo could ever hope to reach.

New York City, New York, USA
Holly Haven walked out of their company headquarters with a simmering anger. "Holly, wait up!" Her lover and business partner, Connie, called out to her. "Please, Connie. Don't waste any more of my time." Holly said, clearly displeased.
"But Holly, this is good news. With our third quarter roll-out of Haven Storm 4.0, our market share should rise by a minimum of 10%. We have a spectacular year ahead of us." Connie said, pleased with the projected profits they would gain. "The new roll-out of Haven Storm was supposed to be free. I'm not worried about the shareholders' year. I want a spectacular year for the world." Holly said, showing the main source of her current displeasure.
Just as she expressed her displeasure, the communicator on her wrist began beeping. "Don't you do enough for the world?" Connie asked. "None of us do." Holly replied, then tapped her necklace, quickly transforming to her true appearance as War Woman. She then took flight, heading to the Guardians' headquarters.
…
In the same building where he and Nikki lived, Martian Man was training his ability to stretch and flatten his body, trying to reach a chalk line near Nikki, who was cheering him on. As he slowly inched past the line, she squealed in triumph. "You did it! You did it!" She shouted, giggling happily.
He inched just a bit further, until he couldn't stretch anymore, and held his position. "Oh, crap. Sorry." She said, then walked up to the point he had stopped and marked it, showing his current record for stretching his body out. Once she had marked it, he pulled his biomass back together, reforming his body, as he panted from the strain of stretching himself so thin.
"Are you okay?" Nikki asked as she walked up to him. "I'm fine. We did it. I've never expanded myself to that extent. That was… intense." He said, while trying to quickly recover. A beeping sound rang out in the rundown apartment, and he looked to his wrist, where his communicator was receiving the emergency signal from the Guardians' headquarters.
"Aw, man, take me with you. C'mon, I can help." She told him. "No, Nikki. You know Guardians' business is too dangerous for human children." He said, then flew out of the apartment's window, heading to the Guardians' headquarters.
…
In a studio, the clicking of a camera shutter was heard going off in multiple bursts, as Alana passionately took pictures of the model in front of her. "Aw, you're doing so good. That's it! Ooh, yes, like that. Like that!" She said happily, as the model cycled through multiple poses. "Keep going. Aw, yes, yes, yes. Hold that, hold that." She said, but the sound of beeping soon filled the room, catching the model's attention.
"What is that beeping?!" The model asked, and Alana looked down at her wrist, the emergency signal from the Guardians' headquarters transmitting to the communicator that wrapped around it. "Uh… that's a wrap. Uh, great work, everyone." She said, then began heading out of the room.
As she left the room, and got out of anyone's line of sight, then brought out a small green crystal from her pocket and tossed it into her mouth. Her body immediately transformed as she became the Green Ghost, then flew off to the Guardians' headquarters.
…
Midnight City, USA
Darkwing watched two men trying to break into a building via its roof door, or rather, one was actively breaking in while the other was a lookout. He jumped onto one of the multiple towers on the roof, coming into the lookout's line of sight.
"Sam?" The lookout called the man who had just broken the roof door's lock. "What?" Sam asked. "Darkwing." The lookout curtly replied. "Don't worry about him. He can't be everywhere." As Sam spoke, Darkwing placed two powerful electromagnets on the side of the tower he was crouched on. The lookout pointed at Darkwing, and Sam turned to look at what the lookout was pointing at.
"Luckily, I don't have to be everywhere. Only where I'm needed." Darkwing said, then jumped down to the roof. Sam rushed at him with the crowbar that he used to break the door's lock, and swung at his head. Darkwing ducked the swing, then countered with a blow to Sam's midsection, and sent him to the ground with a quick, strong chop to the back of his legs.
As Sam tried getting back up, Darkwing threw a pair of magnetic cuffs onto his wrists, which synced up to one of the electromagnets on the tower, dragging him off the ground onto the tower and restraining him there. Sam's friend, the lookout, was stunned by the sight of Midnight's resident hero taking down his friend, and so, couldn't react to Darkwing, who rushed him, grabbed him by his sweater, and threw him onto the door.
As Sam's friend fell to the rooftop floor, Darkwing calmly tossed a pair of magnetic cuffs onto him, sending him to be restrained onto the tower as well.
"I know what's in this building, and I know who wants it. Tell me about your boss." Darkwing said, clearly about to interrogate the two. "We look like rats to you?" Sam said with a scoff. But before Darkwing could respond, the Guardians' alert began beeping, drawing his attention from the pair of burglars. "I'll check back with you tomorrow." He said, then ran off the edge of the rooftop, and called for his Wing Jet, which caught him midfall, and flew off into the distance, headed for the Guardians' headquarters.
…
The Wing Jet soon arrived in the mountains of Utah, where the Guardians' headquarters was located, hidden away from the public. The jet went into the access hatch and landed, and Darkwing went to the headquarters' main hub, where the Immortal, War Woman, Martian Man, Green Ghost, Red Rush, and Aquarus were waiting.
As he dropped in, they all turned to him. "Darkwing, why did you call us here?" The Immortal asked him. "Me?" Darkwing asked, confused.
"So none of us signaled the alert?" War Woman asked, her guard immediately going up as she looked around for any threats. "Oh, God, what's going on? Is it bad?" Green Ghost asked, her voice shaky.
Red Rush suddenly gasped, then rushed towards the Immortal, and pushed him out of the way of, to everyone's shock, Omni-Man's fist, which was flying for his head. As they all noticed the familiar face and costume now looking at them as if they were dead, they gasped in shock at the betrayal.
War Woman, who had been preparing for threats, rushed at Omni-Man with her mace, and swung at him twice, both of which he dodged. Just as he was about to punch her in the face, Red Rush came in and diverted the punch. Omni-Man tried tracking the speedster with his eyes, but had his attention diverted by Darkwing, who threw a pair of shuriken at him, that exploded upon impact.
Aquarus came in from the side, and with a roar, he fired a powerful torrent of water from his hands at Omni-Man, forcing him back, but only for a few seconds. After blocking the jet of water for a few seconds, Omni-Man flew out of the line of fire, then lunged at Aquarus, aiming to smash his head with a punch, only for Red Rush to come in and grab Aquarus, taking the Atlantean king out of the line of Omni-Man's punch, which landed on the floor, creating a small crater.
As he pulled back his arm, Omni-Man looked up, tracking Red Rush with his eyes. Right as he got up, Red Rush punched him in the face at superspeed, causing his head to momentarily jerk, and before he could turn, Red Rush came in from the other side and punched him again, employing a hit-and-run strategy. Omni-Man quickly regained his bearings, and the third time that Red Rush tried punching him, he caught the speedster's arm, pulled him closer, grasped his head with both hands, and began squeezing.
As the sound and pain of his own skull cracking under the pressure of Omni-Man's hands rang through his head, Red Rush speedily punched at the Viltrumite's chest. Even his eye was squeezed out of his head, Red Rush didn't stop punching at Omni-Man's chest, not even when all the bones in his hand had broken against Omni-Man's midsection, which was now exposed. But his struggles were all but futile, as Omni-Man's grasp on his head tightened, until his head was eventually crushed. The Red Rush was dead.
""NO!!"" War Woman and the Immortal shouted in shock, while Green Ghost and Aquarus gasped, as Omni-Man, someone they had seen as a colleague, if not a friend, had truly betrayed them and killed one of their own. Martian Man roared in anger, as he rushed Omni-Man, and swiftly wrapped around him, restraining him.
"Why have you done this?!" The Immortal shouted as he landed a powerful punch on Omni-Man's face. War Woman roared as she swung her mace at his head, the hit forcing him back a few feet. As she went to swing at his head again, Omni-Man forced himself out of Martian Man's hold, the force from his movements momentarily causing the Martian to go slack, then rushed War Woman, dodging her blow and slamming her head into the floor.
He grabbed the Amazon by her hair, and lifted his hand to smash her skull, but was interrupted by Darkwing, who threw three explosive shuriken at him. He dodged the shuriken, and they exploded against the wall. He looked around, trying to find Darkwing.
Darkwing dropped down at him, but unfortunately for him, Omni-Man noticed his approach, grabbed him by his leg, and slammed him onto the floor, the force breaking all his limbs. He lifted the broken hero, and slammed him against the floor again, this time, sealing his fate, as Darkwing's skull exploded in a mess of blood, bone, and brain matter. Another one of the Guardians of the Globe was dead.
He tossed the corpse at Green Ghost, who was so shaken by what she had just seen, that her concentration on staying intangible broke as she caught the broken corpse of her friend. "Oh, no." She said as she realized her mistake a second too late, as Omni-Man stabbed a knife-hand through her skull, killing her and breaking the crystal in her mouth. A third Guardian was dead.
Aquarus, who had gone to check up on Martian Man, roared as he let out another torrent of water, not letting up on the attack. "Are you all right?" "I live." Martian Man responded. "Someone must be controlling him. He would never do this." The Immortal said as he picked War Woman off the ground, not wanting to believe that their friend had attacked them of his own will.
"Regardless, it's him or us." War Woman said. "I choose us." He said, then moved with her to launch another assault on Omni-Man.
Omni-Man, who was still blocking Aquarus' water jet with Green Ghost's corpse still on his hand, looked up as he noticed their approach. War Woman let out a battle cry as she jumped and swung down at his temple. Her mace connected with unforgiving force, and the skin at the point of impact immediately turned purple, as Omni-Man's ears began to ring, and he dropped Green Ghost's corpse.
She went after him, swinging her mace at him multiple times, but he quickly regained his bearings and dodged her attacks, moving towards Aquarus, who hadn't noticed the approach. As she swung down, he dodged and counterattacked, punching her away and causing her to lose her hold of her mace. He caught the mace, turned and smashed Aquarus' head, killing the king of Atlantis. The fourth Guardian had been killed.
Martian Man looked at Aquarus' corpse, then roared in anger as he rushed Omni-Man. The Atlantean was the only other Guardian that had an entirely non-human appearance, so he was closer to him than the others, and his death hit harder than the others. He quickly wrapped himself around Omni-Man, restraining him once more, and the Immortal came in from the side and landed another punch on Omni-Man's face.
War Woman, who had recovered from the earlier blow, joined the assault and slammed her fist into Omni-Man's face. War Woman and the Immortal continued to land punches on his face for the next ten seconds, each punch drawing blood. However, Omni-Man focused on grabbing Martian Man, specifically his core, which made him appear as if he didn't care about the dozens of punches that were landing on his face.
He soon grabbed onto Martian Man's core, and tore it out from him, freeing himself from the restraints, and killing Martian Man. Upon noticing another one of their friends die, the Immortal and War Woman stopped punching for a second, and before either of them could attack, Omni-Man stabbed the Immortal with a knife-hand through the gut. War Woman came in with a roaring battle cry, trying to slam her fist into Omni-Man's head, but he dodged the blow, caught her by her head, and quickly twisted her head 180°, killing her.
He watched as her body dropped to the floor and blood splashed out of her mouth. Although he had acted like the blows he had received didn't faze him, they had taken their toll, as his body and face were now severely bruised, and he was out of breath.
He walked over to the Immortal, whose guts were spilling out. "Why? Why?!" The Immortal asked him, still shocked by everything that had happened. Unfortunately, he would get no answer from him, as Omni-Man used a knife hand to behead him. Omni-Man soon succumbed to his own wounds, then crumpled to the floor and passed out.
The Guardians of the Globe had all been killed by Omni-Man.
