It’s a new dawn in Megacity after the detonation of an “Atomic Manipulation Device” leaves the head of Ominous Medical and Natural Science Laboratories dead, his heir apparent missing, and a portion of the city’s population with superpowers –– which they seem all too eager to employ for criminal ends. Detective Thomas Zhang, scientist Dr. Ivan Petrov, and journalist Clementine Cole struggle against their superiors to unmask the truth of the inciting incident colloquially referred to as “the cataclysm.” Meanwhile, a shadowy presence presides over the panels on the other side of a suspicious security camera system and a menacing interior monologue. As the mystery surrounding the cataclysm intensifies, one thing remains certain: our heroes are in ominous company.
“Dawn of Dr. Ominous” is the five-part pilot episode of a prospective ongoing webcomic series that spotlights supervillains and, quite literally, the multivalent universes in which they operate –– which, moreover, they wish to recreate in their own image. Readers will follow Dr. Ominous
and his team of supervillains as they race against his biological clock and deteriorating mental state to rebuild a machine which might save both him and the world itself from a fatal diagnosis –– no matter the human cost. The series will simultaneously offer the opposing perspective of Zhang, Petrov, Cole and their allies, whose moral and professional convictions compel them to prevent the villain’s masterplan and, more to the point, all of the implied collateral damage.
