==History==
===The☆Ultraman===
The Asteroid Creature is a living celestial object, appearing as a crescent-shaped asteroid with a singular eye peeking out as its sole means of sight. Despite passing the orbit of Earth, the Asteroid Creature's cosmic ray irradiated the whole planet and causing animals and monsters to run wild. Two of these instances summoned Gellon and Gadon.
Seeing the asteroid as the source of their trouble, the defense force try to obliterate it, but the Asteroid Creature created Xyclon from its own surplus energy reserve to act as its guardian.https://cocreco.kodansha.co.jp/telemaga/news/feature/kaijubiyori/dzSO9 The Science Guard Party depart to space in Super Mardock to attack the living asteroid, while Ultraman Joneus already arrived to face Xyclon but the planet itself drains him of his energy. The arrival of Science Guard Party allows him to briefly escape and empower himself with the sun rays to grow bigger. After defeating Xyclon, Joneus pierced the living asteroid to expose its core and the Science Guard Party open fired from their ship to destroy it.https://cocreco.kodansha.co.jp/telemaga/news/feature/kaijubiyori/dzSO9?page=2
