==History==
===Ultra Q===
A super express train called the Inazuma-1 was on its maiden voyage carrying many passengers, one of which was carrying a suitcase containing the first man-made artificial lifeform, codenamed M1. When Ippei accidentally brought the suitcase containing M1 onto the Inazuma-1, it was confiscated and put into the trains on-board safe. However, during the voyage, stimulated by a camera flash, M1 grew into an ape-like creature, broke out of the safe, and scared one of the crew members.
In a panic, M1 took control of the Inazuma 1, accidentally altering its speed to dangerous levels. To save the train, the staff manage to disconnect the passenger cars, but a young boy, Itachi, who stowed away on board was left in the cockpit with M1. Unable to stop, the Inazuma 1 collided with a bulldozer and two buildings, destroying it in the proceess. Itachi, hiding inside the Inazuma's heat and shock-resistant safe, and M1 managed to survive the Inazuma's destruction via the train's momentum shooting them into space in the crash. Both the safe and M1 were last seen spinning in Earth's orbit. Observing the beauty of the planet below him, M1 spoke directly to humanity for the first time with the words "I am a Seagull". 
====Trivia====
*Voice actor: Masao Nakasone
*M1's final words, "I am a Seagull" is a reference to the words spoken by cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova as she viewed the Earth from space during the Vostok 6 space flight.
**This is the same mission that appeared via stock footage to portray Jamila's doomed voyage into space in "My Home Is Earth".
*In original concept sketches, M1 was to appear along side a more insect like M2. A small model of M2 has surfaced as of late.
*M1 appeared in a Gaki no Tsukai 'No Laughing Earth Defence Force' as a small robotic toy that danced to AKB48's song "I Want You". An X-Plus of the figure and a photo of the monster appeared as well.
*It is said M1's face greatly resembles comedian Masatoshi Hamada.
**The "M" in the name also stands for "Masatoshi".
**A year later, in Gaki No Tsukai's No Laughing Detectives, during the Don't Get Scared segment, M1 makes a full appearance, as 'Hamada Entrance'. Hamada's signature laughter was played over a recorder as M1 walked into the scene.
***The M1 suit was reused from Ultra Zone and Ultraman X, but has lights in its eyes.
*In an unrealized script, M1 teams with a Cicada Human to fight Gorgos.
*For the documentary on Eiji Tsuburaya, Father of Ultra Q, M1 along with Ragon interviewed Old Man Tsuburaya with voices placed over them moving their mouthes.
===Ultraman X===
M1 was originally an artificial being created by humanity years ago. However, it was deemed a failure and jettisoned into space, orbiting the Earth. Due to this, M1 grew disgusted of humanity and believed that coexistence between humanity and other lifeforms was impossible.
Years later, M1 intervened in Xio's experiment to materialize Daichi's Gomora from the Spark Doll. He launched a powerful dark thunder energy in space, penetrating the barrier and attacking Gomora, causing it to transform into EX Gomora and go berserk.
Daichi Oozora transformed into Ultraman X, attempting to use the Xanadium Beam to revert EX Gomora back into the Spark Doll. However, M1 interfered and transported Ultraman X to a laboratory-like place, trapping him in a mysterious flask. M1 appeared and told X that he was an artificial lifeform created by science and later abandoned.
Unable to stop EX Gomora's rampage, Xio had no choice but to decide to defeat it. Witnessing this, M1 claimed, "Humans cannot coexist with others and will eventually perish." However, Xio member Asuna Yamase stood in front of EX Gomora, calling for it to stop its rampage. Daichi also kept calling out to EX Gomora, but it didn't stop, and Asuna was nearly crushed. Despite being severely injured, Asuna continued to persuade EX Gomora. However, EX Gomora's horn began to glow, preparing to release the EX Ultra Oscillation Wave.
Seeing Asuna's determination, M1 snapped his fingers, and Ultraman X suddenly returned, blocking the attack with the X Barrier Wall. X transformed into Exceed X and used the Exceed X Rush to revert EX Gomora back to Gomora. After returning to his original form, X tried to use the Xanadium Beam again to turn it back into a Spark Doll. However, suddenly, Gomora's body began to glow. It didn't receive the beam but instead voluntarily turned back into the Spark Doll form.
Witnessing all this, M1 decided to observe humanity again, finally having faith in coexistence. 
====Trivia====
*Voice actor: Shozo Iizuka
*According to Tsuburaya's official blog, this M1 is indeed the same figure from Ultra Q.
**However, considering that the oldest monster attack in The World Where The Ultra Flare Occurred is Demaaga, followed by the Ultra Flare and eventually Ultraman X being the only known Ultra to arrive on that Earth, this M1 may be simply just had the same history from its Ultra Q incarnation, with other monster attacks in his early days of existence were omitted.
*His development in intelligence and ESP-based abilities is a result of his aging and long-time observation of the Earth.
*M1 was proposed with many backgrounds and hideouts for the scene where he kidnapped X and observed EX Gomora's rampage. In the end, the study table with multiple lab apparatus won.
*His jet black-colored eyes were meant to symbolize him having become the "ultimate life form".
===Ultraman Z===
M1 is a lifeform created by Ruri Inaba, who's body cell is potentially beneficial in the medical field. A rival organization tries to kidnap M1, but the creature grew into a towering monster after being slammed onto a generator box. In order to neutralize M1's rampage, King Joe fired the tranquilizer dart, putting M1 to sleep. STORAGE decided to help Ruri by creating a formula capable of shrinking M1 back to normal size, despite Director Kuriyama's insistence on killing it. Hebikura agreed to this, however noted that killing M1 is an obligatory if it reaches 1,000 meters away from the populated area. 
8 AM in the next morning, STORAGE members attempted various operations to distract M1 before it reaches the city, including the use of banana aroma, rugby double tackle, tug-of-war capture operation and finally the maintenance crewmembers performing kumi daiko performance. The shrink serum was finished, with Bako volunteering himself for the job. Haruki transforms into Ultraman Z Beta Smash and did few wrestling moves to keep M1 away. Transforming into Delta Rise Claw, the Beliarok unleashes Deathcium Claw to restrain M1 as Bako uses King Joe as a platform to launch the shrink serum through his bazooka. M1 shrinks down into orignal size and made it out safely and reunited with Ruri, the latter thanking her father. 
====Trivia====
*This is the first time M1 fights an Ultra Warrior.
===Ultraman Blazar===
While not physically appearing in the series itself, M1 appeared as an illusion of a construction worker's greatest fear created by Mogusion, used to hide its true appearance.
