These freedom fighters journeyed to Earth-One and joined forces with Green Lantern, Superman, and the New Teen Titans. During their initial encounter with Superman, the Omega Men battled the Mole and his gang. The villain and his henchmen had stolen a version of the subterranean vessel known as the Mighty Mole, which had been designed by explorer Cave Carson. The former assistant to Carson turned crimelord, the Mole captured a depowered Superman and nearly executed him, until the Omega Men's timely intervention.
During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, these Omega Men protected their own solar system while continuing their fight against their alien overlords. One adversary of their's the mutated galactic-level threat known as X-Hal, merged the world Kuraq of Earth-One's universe with its parallel planets in the four remaining alternate universes of Earth-Two, Earth-S, Earth-Four and Earth-X. There, she ensnared her foe Nimbus, who merged his conscientiousness with this planet. It is unknown how stable this new composite Kuraq would be, at the conjunction of five distinct cosmic realms.
In one of those other universes, the aliens in Vegan planetary system remained separate, although one species with the blended appearance of Demonia, Tigorr and Green Man's people apparently ventured to Earth-Two. These became the ancestors of a race of beings living below the surface, creepy crawly creatures discovered during the 20th century by the Ultra-Humanite. Ultra had been drawn to their underground lair using her subterranean drilling vehicle (similar to the Mighty Mole) in order to escape her arch-enemy Superman.
These creatures, which Ultra's named the Sub-Men, were obedient to her due to their now reduced mental capacity and the loss of their females from their species. They battled Green Lantern, Superman, Liberty Belle and the All-Star Squadron on a few occasions in 1942. Then, as her sinister schemes seemed near completion, Ultra had her henchman Deathbolt execute those Sub-Men in her presence. Whether anymore survived is unknown.
As for the leaders of the Omega Men, the husband and wife royal couple known as Primus and Kalista, they had counterparts on Earth-Two who never met one another. Henry King Junior inherited mental abilities like those of his father, similar to those displayed by Primus, only Henry used these for good rather than evil as Brain Wave Junior. He would venture to 1942 to assist his young allies, Infinity, Inc., who were brought to that time and used as pawns by Ultra. During this adventure, Henry encountered the Sub-Men before their untimely demise. As for Kalista's counterpart, the exiled royal known as Miss Fear, she was currently in Asia and encountered the Blackhawk Squadron a few years later. Like Kalista, Miss Fear had the talent to draw upon the dread of her opponents, which she used against them.
