As his house valued strength, his parents saved his life and butchered any attempting to escape and demanded of his child to be the mightiest there is or to become nothing at all. He was sent to Earth, where he found himself obtaining amazing superhuman powers, which he would use to steal, murder and begin running things. He founded the Crime Syndicate, under the alias Ultraman.

## **Characteristics**

### Physical Appearance

By comparison to someone like Superman himself, Ultraman is practically identical, despite some minor physiological and even differences in attire. Ultraman is a Caucasian male Kryptonian of Earth-3, standing 6' 4" tall, weighing in at 225 lb., with short black hair, which has a curl at the front and blue eyes. His uniform has several similarities to the Man of Steel's as well, such as the overall color scheme, however rather than the symbol of his house being that of an "S", Ultraman's is a "U", which is connected to the near-diamond shape on his chest. He also has a belt, which has a red strap and a chrome-colored "U" on it as well, with a pair of red boots. He wears a somewhat tattered red cape, mostly at the bottom, with a yellow "U" on the back of it at the top.

### Personality & Traits

The complete and total opposite to Superman, Ultraman is a sick and twisted megalomaniac. He values his family's belief in strength and selfishness, rather than altruism or weakness. He also has a major superiority complex with darwinistic views and with murderous intent when combating his enemies. His murderous streak is so dangerous, anyone bad-mouthing him is likely going to get the full blast of his heat vision. Probably what makes him inferior to Superman in general, is that he lacks anyone to challenge him and lacks the method of improving himself better. This is due to the fact that he typically doesn't let his foes live after their first encounter, flat out killing them after. This pretty much renders Ultraman unable to think tactically unlike his Prime Earth counterpart.
