Ultraman

Ultraman's History

Kal-Il was born on the dying planet of Krypton that, through the machinations of his maniacal father Jor-Il, had caught the attention of its destroyer - the Anti-Monitor. Performing a shooting spree through a research lab, Jor-Il was able to secure a life pod for his only son, whom he regarded as his best chance of revenge.

Rocketing to Earth, Kal-Il was inundated with ideology and moralizing inside his rocket, warning him to be the strongest possible being, eschewing all weakness in himself and in others. His rocket crash-landed in Smallville, Kansas, right through the home of the dysfunctional couple Johnny and Martha Kent. Kal-Il gained power from the pieces of his home planet that landed with him and forced the couple to be his parents, staying with them until he was seven years old, at which point he killed them and burned their farm to the ground.

Over the following years, Kal-Il took the name Ultraman and began his pursuits of taking over Earth by murdering the President of the United States and forming the Crime Syndicate. During this time, Ultraman had a dysfunctional relationship with his teammate Superwoman. Unknown to him, Superwoman had a secret affair with Owlman.

Unfortunately for Ultraman and the Crime Syndicate, their stranglehold over the planet was pried loose by the arrival of the being that had destroyed Krypton, who also sought to destroy the Earth.[1] As their world began to crumble beneath them, the fabric between universes was weakened by the actions of another powerful being in another universe, allowing the Syndicate to escape in a dimensional rift. However, they were trapped in interdimensional Limbo for five years, with only the Outsider and Atomica successfully crossing through.
