Omega Beams are powerful bio-electric energy beams that can track and disintegrate a selected target. Both Darkseid and his son Grayven possess the ability to generate Omega Beams, though Grayven's Omega powers are inferior to those of his father. Darkseid once boasted that no living being had ever withstood the full force of the Omega Effect, but Doomsday and Superman have both withstood the effect. The Cyborg Superman has demonstrated a degree of resiliency to them as well. While capable of passing through almost any substance, the Beams are ineffective against the bracelets of Wonder Woman, which were forged from the Olympian Aegis.
In the 2010 animated film Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, the character of Supergirl also withstood several blasts from the Omega Beams, though they certainly weakened her, to say nothing of whatever clothing she was wearing at the time.
