==History==
===Ultraman===
Originally a human astronaut who became lost in space while undertaking a mission with a manned satellite, Jamila landed on another planet without water or air, where he survived until tragically mutating into a space monster. Bitter and angry towards mankind for keeping his safety a secret to avoid hurting the public's faith in science, Jamila soon returned to Earth in an invisible spaceship to get revenge on those who'd forgotten him by attacking a peace conference in Tokyo over the arms race between the U.S. and Russia.
A search was sent out to locate the monster, soon catching up to him and attacking him however, his invisibility made it difficult to hit him until finally, it vanished into space. They then discovered that his invisibility was the result of his hull moving at high speeds, making it invisible to the human eye. They soon came up with a plan to use three special new weapons using different wave lengths of light, which together could reveal the invisible beast. The plan worked perfectly and Jamila was revealed and they opened fire. Once the disguise was blown, Jamila emerged and was chased by the Science Patrol into the forest. They opened fire but their weapons were useless against the space monster. Jamila finally managed to escape into the forest and the Science Patrol couldn’t find him.
The next day, the army attacked Jamila with flamethrowers, but the mutant human was unaffected by them. Enraged, Jamila launched an attack on a nearby village to vent his rage, igniting it into a blazing inferno with his flames. The space giant soon approached the site of talks aimed at ending the Cold War at the World Peace Conference in Tokyo, only to be attacked with rain bombs that injured him. 
With the means to bring about his revenge on humankind for abandoning him now finally possible, Jamila wouldn't give up, and began kicking down the flag poles outside the conference. Before he could attack the building itself, Ultraman appeared to battle the mutated man, but Jamila, having once been a human, proved to be a very skilled opponent for the hero, and being of a similar build to the Ultra put up an impressive fight against him. Jamila and Ultraman fought back and forth until Ultraman began firing the Ultra Water Current at him. Jamila cried out in agony upon contact with the jet of water, as water was his weakness, while Ultraman continued to utilise the Water Current until the monster was subdued. Writhing in pain on the waterlogged ground, Jamila wept in rage and sorrow as he desperately tried to reach towards those who had abandoned him, before finally dying. Realizing Jamila was merely the victim of circumstance and politics, the Science Patrol gave Jamila a proper funeral and mounted a plaque in his honor.
====Trivia====
*Suit actor: Teruo Aragaki
*Jamila's episode and appearance is known to be one of the more tragic and heartbreaking, as the monster himself was human until he was abandoned by mankind and underwent his hideous transformation into the monster. His death is also one of the more saddening ones as not only is he given a memorial but the respect of the Science Patrol. This has only been done with Pigmon, Jirahs, and Seabozu.
*The plaque installed for Jamila's memorial stone lists the original year the series took place in, 1993, as the year in which he died, prior to the series' events being retconned to have taken place in 1966 when Return of Ultraman began airing in 1971. In addition, it establishes that the human who became Jamila was at least 33 years old when Jamila died, as his birth year is specified as 1960.
*The fact that they mention the Space Race in the episode as it happened in the past is a continuity error as the whole World of the Land of Light claims that Ultraman happened in the 1960's.
*Although not directly stated, it is highly likely Jamila was of French nationality as he was a member of the French SSSP stationed in Paris.
*Jamila has a beard under his lower jaw, it is more noticeable on his "Real Action Heroes" model.
*Jamila's roar is actually a baby's crying very low-pitch, to make the monster sound more tragic.
*Jamila is one of the monsters that makes up Belyudra's neck.
*Jamila makes a flashback cameo appearance in New Ultraman Retsuden episode 27 referenced by the Spark Doll Troupe talking about the Monster Graveyard.
*In popular culture, most people (mainly Japanese) were known to portray Jamila simply by hanging up their shirts on their heads and raising their limbs.
*In at least one stage show, Ragon has chased Jamila down with a squirt gun.
*According to suit actor, Bin Furuya, Jamila was the one monster he didn't want to fight.
*In the flashback sequence, Jamila is portrayed by Valentina Tereshkova via stock photos taken during the launch of Vostok 6.
**This mission is also the inspiration of M1's final words in "The Underground Super Express Goes West", "I am a Seagull...".
**The scene featuring Jamila in this episode appears in the 1969 American film Midnight Cowboy, only briefly shown in a television screen switch.
*In the Ultraman Taro manga by Mamoru Uchiyama, Jamila is seen emerging from the ocean.
===Ultraman Taro===
Jamila was seen in an animated flashback as part of the monster army lead by Alien Empera in the Ultimate Wars in episode 25 of Ultraman Taro.
===Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero===
Jamila reappeared in the series, Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, as . Much like the original incarnation, Jamila's origins still remain relatively similar to its original appearance.
Astronaut Jamra Miller was sent by NASA on a top secret mission to Jupiter when a round ball of blue gas suddenly entered his craft. The gas bonded with his body (similar to how Ultraman Powered bonded to Kenichi Kai) and he became the human host of the titanium based life form known as Jamila. Three months later, Jamra returned to Earth where two government hired kidnappers were taking his daughter, Karen, and in a fit of rage he turned into Jamila. However, he disappeared once he lost sight of the kidnappers. Because Jamila did not cause a single casualty, WINR was split as to whether or not to consider him friend or foe until the government revealed their jurisdiction on all incidents involving Jamra. During the hostage exchange, the agent leading the two kidnappers agreed to let Karen go for Jamra agreeing to go into their custody. However, with Jamila taking over Jamra's body and the agent failing to capture him using a tranquilizer dart, the titanium based life form soon completely took over and broke out of the warehouse. After Jamila crushed the agent and kidnappers, Kenichi turned into Powered. As Jamila was beating down Powered, Karen tried to make Jamra within the creature remember who he originally was. Jamra's consciousness managed to hold off Jamila long enough for Powered to finish him off with the Mega Spacium Beam.
====Trivia====
*Several online sources mistake Powered Jamila for the Toho Monster, Uchujin (which translates to "alien" in Japanese), a monster whom was scheduled to appear in the film Godzilla vs. Uchujin but was scrapped for the film Godzilla X Varan, Baragon and Anguirus: Giant Monsters All-Out, which was later replaced with Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. This is due to a famous online source website known as Toho Kingdom which made a concept poster using Powered Jamila's image to depict Uchujin given the similar storylines about an astronaut being turned into a monster. Additionally, said proposal was untitled and more detailed information given on the script simply identified the mutated astronaut as "M", leaving Godzilla vs. Uchujin to be an entirely fabricated title.
*According to the episode, Jamra's name translates to Beautiful.
*Unlike the original Jamila, Powered Jamila possesses no superpowers and its appearance is more robotic rather than organic.
*Despite having the same history, Powered Jamila seems to be more of a possession than a mutation. In fact, its attacks in his final moments are mostly because of the alien gas that possessed Jamra and said human himself voluntarily sacrificed himself to ended Jamila's reign of terror.
*Powered Jamila has a reused and slightly edited roar used for the titular monsters from the 1957 film The Black Scorpion.

Jamila's Spark Doll was seen in Dark Lugiel's collection alongside the likes of Neronga, Powered Baltan, Chaos Darkness, Hyper Zetton and Birdon.
===Mountain Peanuts===
One year before Ultraman Victory's debut, Jamila appeared and ambushed the Mountain Peanuts team that protected Nosferu. He was killed after being hit with water bombs and water cannons, ending his life in a traumatic way.
