Ultraman: The Long History of Marvel's Newest Hero.

 Before Marvel's The Rise of Ultraman starts, here's everything you need to know   about the internationally acclaimed superhero.


While he might not be an icon to Marvel readers yet, Ultraman is one of the world's most enduring superheroes. And with The Rise of Ultraman #1, Kyle Higgins, Mat Groom, Francesco Manna and Michael Cho are giving the international icon his Marvel debut.

In Japan, Ultraman first appeared as the star of his own television series in 1966. The success of Ultraman led to the creation of similar shows like Ultra Seven, and Ultraman remained a recurring character in the Ultra Series. Ultraman and his contemporaries became some of the most iconic heroes in international pop culture by the 1980s, and they all remain popular globally today.The original Ultraman is a gigantic, ancient creature from Nebula M78, and he protects Earth from monstrous threats. The creature fuses its body with Shin Hayata, a member of the Science Special Search-Party, after he collides with his jet. Shin can trigger the transformation into Ultraman by using the Beta Capsule, and Ultraman has bonded with other hosts throughout its long history.
