The Ultraverse is a shared comic book continuity that was created by Malibu comics in the early to mid-nineties and was briefly published by Marvel Comics in the mid-nineties after they bought the rights.
History
The world of the Ultraverse was seemingly devoid of superheroes and powered people until the day a mysterious being known as Entity on the moon created the "Jumpstart effect" by sending out waves of energy. The energy gave certain people superpowers, with these special individuals being known as Ultras. Many of them became superheroes or villains, with noteworthy figures including Prime, The Ghoul and the Freex, to name a few. Scientists would later learn ways to reproduce genetic make up of some of these figures to create their own Ultras. Some of these Ultras would go to form their own superteam known as the Ultraforce. Later, it was discovered that an ancient, technologically advanced race known as the Fire People had developed technology that would later be discovered by modern day humanity, most notably their nanotech "wetware" technology.
The Ultras have connections to the Godwheel, an artifact of an immense size similar to that of the circular orbit of Jupiter around Sol, Earth's sun. Massively immense, it is also populated with many societies and cultures living on it.
