Ultraman is the evil Superman of Earth 3 in the DC Multiverse.

Origin[]

Ultraman was born on the planet Krypton and was sent to Earth as an infant. On the way there, he encountered Kryptonite, which gave him super powers.  Soon, he learned that each encounter with Kryptonite would make him more powerful and became the world's greatest criminal.

Biography[]

Silver Age[]

The man who would become Ultraman, was born on the alternate Earth of Earth-Three, wherein most inhabitants are morally reversed from the main DC Universe (often resulting in good inhabitants and evil ones in the DC Universe have reversed roles on Earth-Three).  His real name unknown, as a youth, Ultraman was sent from his home planet to Earth for reasons unknown and along the way, encountered a stray piece of kryptonite, which granted the infant incredible superpowers.  As he grew into adult hood, he became stronger with each piece of kryptonite he encountered and decided to use his powers to conquer the Earth.

Soon, he met other powerful and skilled villains and together they formed a gang: the Crime Syndicate of America. The Crime Syndicate conquered most of the Earth with an iron fist and over time, Ultraman started to develop a new power; a supervision that allowed him to see into other dimensions. Using his powers, he was able to peer into a world with a version of the Crime Syndicate that are heroes, the Justice League of America of Earth-One, and shared his discovery with the rest of the Crime Syndicate. Upon learning of them, as well as the Justice Society of America of Earth-Two, the Crime Syndicate decided to battle them to test their might. The Crime Syndicate was defeated by both the Justice Society and the Justice League, handing them their first major loss and they found themselves trapped in an extra dimensional bubble by the superhero Green Lantern.
