Ultivac

Ultivac is a giant robot built by scientists Felix Hesse and Floyd Barker, who went rogue against its creators.

Ultra Boy

Ultra the Multi-Alien

Ultraa

Ultraa is a DC Comics character, originally the first superhuman on Earth Prime. The original first appeared in Justice League of America #153 (April 1978), he was created by Gerry Conway and George Tuska. The current Ultraa first appeared in Justice League Quarterly #13 (Winter 1993), written by Kevin Dooley and drawn by Greg LaRocque. A new version of Ultraa appears in Grant Morrison's The Multiversity project.

Ultraa's origin is very similar to Superman's, in that he was born on an alien world and sent to Earth to escape its destruction. He landed in the Australian Outback and was raised by Indigenous Australians. Ultraa joins the Justice League of Earth-One, but they turn against him following an incident where he uses a ray gun to make the members of the League and the Injustice Gang apathetic.

As a result of their second encounter with Ultraa, the League imprisons him in a "stasis cube" prison of Superman's design. He is later released by an alien hive mind known as the Over-Complex. A dispirited Ultraa adopts the civilian guise of Jack Grey and becomes a busboy. He is manipulated by Joe Parry, a down-and-out former opponent of the Justice League, but a heart-to-heart talk with Hawkman convinces him to break off the attack. Ultraa subsequently decides to move back to Australia.

Following Crisis on Infinite Earths, which reboots the continuity of the DC Universe, the original Ultraa is retconned out of existence. In Justice League Quarterly #13 (1993), Ultraa is reintroduced as a native of Almerac and the betrothed of Queen Maxima. Ultraa later appears as a member of the League Busters in Justice League International.

In The New 52, Ultraa is a metafictional character who resides on Earth-33, an analogue of the real world that has no metahumans. Ultra is Earth-33's sole metahuman and is empowered by the minds of those who read his comics.
