The Mauler Twins later revived him, at which point, Immortal sought out and battled Omni-Man in a rematch, one which ended with Immortal once again being killed, this time via bisection. His body was later recovered by the Global Defense Agency, who sought to revive him once more. A month after Omni-Man left Earth, the G.D.A. had successfully resurrected him and he was once again put in charge of the Guardians of the Globe, replacing Robot.

Trivia[]
- The Guardians of the Globe is based off of the Justice League of America from DC Comics, with the original team rooster representing the League's most famous members; Darkwing for Batman, War Woman for Wonder Woman, Red Rush for the Flash, Aquarus for Aquaman, Martian Man for Martian Manhunter, and Green Ghost for Green Lantern. With Omni-Man, he is the series's version of Superman, although he was never officially a member of the Guardians and had no leadership position whatsoever within the team.

Black Samson was loosely inspired by Black Lightning from DC Comics as well as Marvel's Luke Cage.
