List of DC Comics characters: O

Chief Miles Clancy O'Hara is a member of the Gotham City Police Department in the DC Universe based on the character of the same name from the television series Batman, portrayed by Stafford Repp.

The character, as adapted by Edmond Hamilton and Curt Swan, first appeared in the DC Universe in World's Finest Comics #159 (August 1966).

Within the context of the stories, Chief O'Hara is the chief of police during the early days of Batman's career. O'Hara was the first victim of the Hangman serial killer.

O-Sensei is a fictional character in the DC Comics Universe. He first appeared in Dragon's Fists, a novel by Dennis O'Neil and Jim Berry, later being incorporated into the comics beginning with Richard Dragon, Kung Fu Fighter #1 (May 1975).

O-Sensei was originally a Japanese army captain in the 1890s who left after one of his soldiers killed a Chinese prisoner. In memory of him, the captain began training in martial arts and ancient disciplines, coming to train Bronze Tiger and Richard Dragon in the present day. Eventually, O-Sensei seeks the aid of Lady Shiva, Batman, Green Arrow, and the Question in returning to Japan to fulfill a vow to his late wife, only to be killed by a typhoon.

O-Sensei appears in Batman: Soul of the Dragon, voiced by James Hong. This version is the caretaker of Nanda Parbat who, prior to the film's events, previously trained Lady Shiva, Batman, Jade, and Rip Jagger in addition to Bronze Tiger and Richard Dragon and sacrificed himself to close the gateway to Nāga's dimension. In the present, Nāga possesses O-Sensei's corpse before Richard banishes him using the Soul Breaker sword.

Ogre is a DC Comics character who appeared in Batman #535 (October 1996), created by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones. Ogre is a genetically altered man, whose brother is a genetically experimented ape created by Doctor Winston Belmont. The man, Michael Adams, was increased in strength and the Ape in intelligence. The project created by Belmont was Project Mirakle, a top secret government project at Atsugi, where there were tested spy planes, as well as experiments on humans in the late 1950s. These experiments were made to create the perfect human agent but when funding was excavated so were the subjects. Michael Adams, as 23rd human experiment, managed to escape after 22 previous deaths. The Ogre tracked and murdered the scientists who collaborated with the project, only to be tracked by Batman himself. In the end, the Ape died and the Ogre wandered the city alone in a story analogous to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

A character based on Ogre appears in Gotham, portrayed by Milo Ventimiglia. This version is Jason Skolimski, the son of Jacob Skolimski, a butler who worked for the affluent Constance van Groot; and an unnamed mother who left the family, leaving Jason to believe that Van Groot is his mother. After Van Groot rejected him, Jason killed her in anger, stole her money, and underwent plastic surgery with help from a nurse named Julie Kimble, who he later killed. Over the next decade, he adopted the alias of "Jason Lennon" and became a serial killer targeting young and attractive successful women, kidnapping and keeping them for weeks or months and later murdering and dumping them in various places of Gotham, leaving behind a hand-made drawing of a broken heart. Due to their loved ones being threatened, the Gotham City Police Department (GCPD) allow Jason to continue unimpeded, giving him the nicknames the "Ogre" and the "Don Juan Killer". Throughout the episodes "Beasts of Prey", "Under the Knife" and "The Anvil or the Hammer", Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock attempt to stop Jason, who kidnaps Barbara Kean and forces her to commit a murder. Though Gordon and Bullock kill Jason and save Barbara, she is left psychologically shaken.
