From Wikipedia:
An OMAC unit has archives on almost every metahuman on file, and can simulate the powers of a variety of superheroes and supervillains in order to target its opponent's weaknesses. Among the powers displayed were the ability to fly, shoot fire, needles of artificial cellulose (against Alan Scott), dispense flame-retarding foam, and fire various energy beams from its eyes and hands, with caustic, concussive, or blinding effects. In addition, the OMAC unit can morph its extremities into blades and pincers. It is also able to simulate Shazam's lightning and force Mary Marvel to revert to her human form. It can disable the Eradicator effortlessly.

African natives brought to Texas in the 1950s to stock game preserves, they're now considered a nuisance, or an "invasive species", at least by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department.
Here's an article by a Texas rancher that disagrees. To summarize (as it does have photos of animals that have been shot by "eradicators"), he argues that there hasn't been proof presented to show that aoudads compete with bighorn for water or in any other way, nor that they have spread disease. He also argues that the bighorn sheep was extinct in the area at one time but has been reintroduced and therefore might not be considered to be a "native species" worthy of protection at the expense of others, such as mountain lions and burros, in addition to aoudads. Food for thought.
This company is famous locally for its signs that have the fellow with the hammer. This was the first time I've actually seen one of their trucks though.
Other folks' photos of the Westerm Exterminator Sign, etc.
Roadside America, Little Man with the Hammer:
"Eliminating household vermin is a nasty business, and generations of professional roach-rat-insect eradicators have lightened up their public image with nutty cartoons mascots as their company logos. Western Exterminator Company, with locations throughout California, did it 80 years ago, and continues to deploy, to every pest inspection, a big-nosed guy with a hammer. To Californians he's known as "Little Man" (elsewhere he may be recalled as a 1980s tour icon for Van Halen)."

A Mandalorian Starfighter, based on its appearance in The Clone Wars (for the shaping at least, colors not so much) and 100% built with parts of Galaxy Squad 70705 Bug Obliterator and 70707 CLS-89 Eradicator Mech. This was a very fun challenge and I dig the result. It's much more accurate than the official LEGO set too (9525, 75316 didn't exist yet when this was made and I haven't compared the two).

Zenykhar (Zenik for short) the Eradicator officially operates outside the kingdom of Myst, but has a strong hatred towards magic. Zenykhar is commonly sought out by cities and other interested parties to eliminate troublesome mages. He's a bounty hunter who will only take contracts that interest him, but he has never been known to refuse one involving the abuse of magic. He is excessively fond of blue flowers, which he leaves with the bodies of his fallen prey.
My third occasion catching this same scene. The kill was completed effortlessly by the heron this time. No digging deep into the ground and having to drag the gopher up. He simply grabbed it and pulled it right out like a magician might out of a hat. He swallows it only into his pouch I think. Maybe he will probably regurgitate it later for the young or himself. Once again, San Francisco's most efficient gopher eradicator has shown us how it is done without poisons.
