Ultraman: In Many Universes
The Many Faces of DCs Ultraman
When you dare to dive deep into the DC fandom, Ultraman might be a name that pops up every now and then – but who are they actually?
The thing about Ultraman is that there are many different versions of them, depending on the universe that you decide to take a look at. As we, obviously, can not come around every Ultraman, we will be focusing on the Earth Three universe and the Ultraman from here. The Ultraman within this DC universe is also known as Kal-II. They were the last son born to Krypton and was the leader of the Crime Syndicate.The Start of Ultraman
When Ultraman landed on Earth he was filled with the ideology of becoming the strongest being of all and staying as far away from weakness. The rocket he came in crashed through the house of a couple, who he forced to be his parents until he turned 7, where he left them and burned their house to the ground, ensuring no traces of his life were left behind. After this, he took the name of Ultraman and began the pursuit that he had been working towards: to take over Earth. Starting this, he got rid of the President of the United States of America, and after that, he formed the Crime Syndicate, which he became the leader of.
A lot of DC's Crime Syndicates' actions seemed like they worked but Earth got hit by the same creature which had destroyed Krypton. The creature also wished to destroy Earth, and the group came to realize that there was nothing much they could do as the world began to crumble down. During this time, the fabric between the universes was weakened and it allowed the group to escape through a dimensional rift. This was a Limbo they ended up trapped in for five years.
Ultraman and Superwoman – an interesting couple
In the universe of Earth Three, we see an interesting couple in Ultraman and Superwoman, who are also part of the Crime Syndicate. Unknown to Ultraman, Superwoman would be having an affair with DCs Owlman. Originally, Ultraman was ready to give up with Superwoman and move to Lois Lane of an alternate universe. He is stopped from doing this by Black Adam, who he ends in a fight with, which he wins.
After this, Ultraman learns that Superwoman is pregnant and that she has overheard Owlman’s plan regarding wishing to betray him. Superwoman told him to be strong for their unborn child – he told her that he would be strong for himself.
