 In ''[[Legion of Net.Heroes Volume 2]]'' #50, the heart of OMAR returned in the hands of [[General Jarrek]], and brought with it a new transformative curse and new revelations.
-The "kill off little-used characters" syndrome, while common in mainstream comics, is rare in the LNH, and ''FWIV'' represents one of the Legion's few stabs at it.  Most of the characters have remained dead (other than Cheesecake-Eater Lad, as above), though [[Chinese Guy]] has been planned for a revival for years.

+''[[The Discontinuous Adventures of Starlit Mansions]]'' followed up, in a bittersweet mysterious way, on the death of [[Girl/Boy]].
 In ''[[Ultimate Mercenary (series)|Ultimate Mercenary]]'' #6, it was revealed that the LNH sent a strike force to [[Topphorti]] after OMAR's attack, but [[Flipseid]] wiped them all out of existence with his Discomega Effect, destroying them as if they had never been and erasing all memory of the counteroffensive. One of them, [[Forsaken Lass|Victoria Arden]], later resurfaced.

 [[Captain Rat Creature]] arrives on Earth, warning [[Fearless Leader]] and the rest of the Legion about the recent galactic upheaval. But he is already too late, as Flipseid sends forth [[OMAR]] to spread hatred and anger on Earth. Soon, fights are breaking out all over [[Net.ropolis]], and the people involved start turning into hideous green trolls! [[Anal-Retentive Archive Kid]] is attacked by a fundamentalist Christian fanatic, who punctures him with a needle; when he becomes enraged, he is turned into one of the trolls.
-Before long many members of the Legion are trollified, and chaos has broken out in the [[LNHQ]]! (Again). [[Kid Kirby]] pummels OMAR with the [[Power Kirby]], unleashing a battle sequence motivated by sheer sequential storytelling energy rather than anger, while [[Special Bonding Boy]] defeats OMAR with the Power of Love. This ticks off OMAR enough that he unleashes the Power of Hate on Net.ropolis, in the form of a nuclear explosion! Luckily, [[Retcon Lad]] is on hand to ensure it's not permanent.

 But the battle is far from over. OMAR takes over the military base outside of Net.ropolis and gathers his power. He kills several LNHers who run across him, meanwhile, other LNHers who are recovering from trollification die of brain tumors. [[Ultimate Ninja]] tries to call in [[The Normalizer]], who had previously reverted some of the trolls, for help, but he has been kidnapped by [[Net.santo|mysterious forces]].
