Omega

**The Omega** is an Oni Warlord and the current leader of the Oni. He wields a staff and seeks to erase Creation from all the Realms of Creation, and blanket all of existence in darkness. He and his Oni were defeated by the ninja and the sons of the First Spinjitzu Master's Tornado of Creation.

## History

### Early Life

Thousands of years ago, Omega came into existence in the Realm of Oni and Dragons along with the other Oni, but not much is known about his past. By 2018, when Wu and the original four ninja arrived in the realm, Omega and the other Oni were nowhere to be found, but Garmadon was able to sense their presence in the Departed Realm.

### Invading the Realms

After Lord Garmadon's defeat, Omega led the Oni to invade the Realms. He began at the First Realm, where he originated from, and quickly overpowered and pertified the Dragons and Dragon Hunters, except for Faith and Firstbourne who escaped into Ninjago.

Omega and his troops then sucessfully consumed all other Realms, before arriving in the Earth Realm through the Realm Crystal.

#### Confronting the Garmadons

After Lloyd and Garmadon entered the Borg Tower vault and found the Realm Crystal, they attempted to destroy it but to their shock, Omega emerged from the crystal. Proving a formidable match for the pair and defying the powers of the Sword of Sanctuary, the Omega is nonetheless unable to stop Lloyd from destroying the crystal. However, the Oni have already opened their portal and no longer require the crystal, which the Omega demonstrates by summoning a horde of his minions. They pursue the pair through the Borg Tower vaults, but are temporarily repulsed by the Golden Master's armor. Despite this, the Oni follow the pair out into the city and swarm them, with only P.I.X.A.L.'s timely arrival in the Samurai X Mech saving the pair.

#### Downfall

Soon after, Omega led his troops to the Monastery of Spinjitzu to destroy the Ninja once and for all and is engaged in battle by Garmadon. Despite the emperor's assistance and the reforged Golden Weapons, the Omega and and his forces continue to advance, with the Omega taking out Cole's Earth Driller. When Garmadon takes his full Oni form to engage the Omega, the Omega notes that he has only the form of an Oni, and that his heart longs to be human. He is able to overpower Garmadon, and the Ninja and their allies are forced to retreat into the Monastery. However, when the Ninja, Wu, and Garmadon come together in a Tornado of Creation, the Oni-including the Omega-are overcome and vanish.

## Personality

Little is known about the personality of the Omega. He is shown to be violent and hostile towards beings from Ninjago and seeks to cover it in darkness.

Despite being a stronger Oni, he fears and cowers before the power of Creation. He had a hatred for Garmadon, and could not understand why a fellow Oni would ever fight alongside a realm that he was trying to cover in destruction, darkness, and death. The Omega was also condescending to those he believes are beneath him such as Garmadon for his desire to understand the people of Ninjago and that of his son.

He was prone to roaring or growling when angered or stressed, like the other Oni, as well as attacking with a low growl.

## Powers and Abilities

### Abilities

* **Destruction:** The Omega commands the powers of Destruction, being one of the strongest users of the element. He can use these powers to create large tentacles of destructive shadow to trap and petrify his enemies. His Destruction powers can be unleashed as blasts of energy, that could even knock down Garmadon and Lloyd with ease.
	+ **Oni summoning:** Using Dark Magic, The Omega can summon his legions of Oni by banging his staff against the ground. He often relies on his armies of Oni to utterly overwhelm his opponents. The Omega appears to be able to summon or teleport other Oni to his location, as he summons multiple to attack Lloyd and Garmadon when they attempt to destroy the Realm Crystal.
* **Dimensional Travel:** Being an Oni, he's capable of traveling to any and all realms.
* **Combat:** Being the leader of the Oni, the Omega is a highly skilled fighter, even exceeding the fighting abilities of Garmadon in his reborn form.
* **Superhuman strength:** The Omega has tremendous physical strength, as he easily threw both Lloyd and Garmadon into a wall without breaking a sweat; even the powers of the Golden Weapons were not enough to stop him and his army from invading.
* **Emotion/thought sensing:** The Omega could seemingly read thoughts and emotions, as he sensed the innermost fears and desires of Garmadon.
* **Fate denial:** The Omega was immune to the predictability of the Sword of Sanctuary, making him a very unpredictable opponent.
* **Immense speed:** The Omega is surprisingly fast, and agile enough to outmatch Lloyd and Garmadon.
* **Shapeshifting:** Though never seen using it, as an oni he possesses the ability to shapeshift.

### Weapons

* **Staff:** Should he be forced to fight alone, the Omega is able to deal out powerful swiping blows with his staff.

## Trivia

* He is likely the oldest Ninjago villain, and one of the oldest characters of the series.
* The Omega seems to have trouble speaking the Ninjago language, as he hesitates at using some words.
* The Omega refers to himself as "The Bringer Of Doom," the plural form of which is used to refer to all Oni. This could imply that he's the first of the Oni or at least the commander of the entire race.
* The Omega's name is a reference to the fact that the Omega symbol is the last letter of the Greek alphabet and traditionally denotes the ending or finality of something or a dramatic conclusion.
	+ In eschatology, the Omega symbol may depict the end of the world.
	+ In some cultures, the Omega symbol also depicts death, darkness or destruction. Fitting, as Omega seeks to erase light and replace it with Destruction and Darkness.
* He is the only character known to be resistant to the powers of the Sword of Sanctuary.
	+ This may be due to the sheer amount of power he possesses and that his existence most likely predates the sword itself.
* Despite having one in the show, he lacks a cape in 853866 NINJAGO Accessory Set 2019.
* According to Tommy Andreasen, due to the Omega being "gone" and the Overlord currently being in a weakened state, it is doubtful we will ever know which of the two is stronger.
* The Omega is one of the five main antagonists to have appeared before the installment where they are the main antagonist, the others being Sir Fangar, Morro, Yang, Krux, and Ronin.
