Gudis Cell

is the essence that makes up Gudis, the evil life form that appeared in Ultraman: Towards the Future.
==History==
===Ultraman: Towards the Future===
An evil alien life form at war with the Ultras, Gudis aims to assimilate the entire universe under his will, doing so by scattering his own essence. Having arrived on Mars, Gudis turned into its cellular form after being defeated by Ultraman Great, as they travel to Earth and spread across Australia, creating several incidents of monster attacks relating to him. In addition, Gudis also infected the corpse of Stanley Haggard as his own servant from behind the scenes. Following the destruction of Barrangas, Gudis begins to reconstitute himself within a volcano and resurrected into Super Gudis. At the same time, he lures an infected-Jean Echo to himself while Jack Shindo struggles to help her fighting the infection. After destroying Super Gudis from within, Jean is freed from the Gudis Cell's influence and therefore ending his threat on the universe.
===Ultraman: Super Fighter Legend===
Both Gudis and his namesake cell appear in the manga series. Here, it was used by the alien being to siphon the participants of the fighting tournament towards the monster Kodalar.
===Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy===
Presumably through his abuse of time travel, Absolute Tartarus obtained samples of Gudis Cells for Alien Sran to use, who in turn infected Ultraman Max on Planet Mikarito, expecting the end result to either mutate the Ultra into a monster or being fed to Maga-Orochi as part of empowering it. Then rookie Ultraman Ribut trained intensely under Great and Powered's guidance while Sora and Hikari created the before the full mutation took effect. By the time Ribut returned, the infection had already turned Max into a rampaging half-monster hybrid until he thrusts the vaccine to the Color Timer, therefore reverting Max to his original state. Although Maga-Orochi had just hatched and empowered by the leftover Gudis Cells, it was destroyed by both Ultras and the recently arrived Xenon. The success in preventing the Gudis Cells' return earned Ribut and Sora their memberships in Galaxy Rescue Force, but Sran instead is killed by Tartarus for his incompetence. 
==Powers==
*Assimilation: The Gudis Cell is used to assimilate living beings by having their mind unified to serve Gudis.
**Resurrection: This can also work on corpses, such as resurrecting Stanley Haggard to serve as his follower from behind the scenes.
*Mutation: Under the effect of the Gudis Cell, it can infect a living being and mutate the host victims into monsters. Gigasaurus displays the first instance of resisting the cells' influence, but gradually weakens over time. Even in death, Great had to incinerate its corpse to ensure that leftovers of Gudis Cells will not ended up roaming around.

==Other media==
===Ultraman Festival 2004===
Yapool obtained the Gudis Cells on his own as part of his attempt to enact revenge on the Ultras. Yapool then infects himself with the cell to resurrect Gudis in his original form, only to be defeated by the combined forces of the Ultra Warriors.
==Trivia==
*In Towards the Future, Gudis' true identity is speculated to be a collective form of retrovirus acting under a unified will. Said virus being the Gudis Cells themselves.
*The Gudis Cells were portrayed as neon green in Towards the Future, but the cell samples in The Absolute Conspiracy portrays it as a stream of black energy beam fired from one of Alien Sran's pincers.
