Lord Ra

Lord Ra is a powerful enigmatic figure in Marvel's rebooted Ultimate Universe, operating in the same sphere as T'Challa, Ororo Munroe, and Lord Khonshu within the pages of Ultimate Black Panther — suggesting a role tied to godlike or mythological authority in that reimagined world.

Fresh from the Modern Age's most ambitious Marvel reinvention, Lord Ra made a striking entrance in 2023's Ultimate Invasion #3, conjured by the visionary pairing of Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch. This enigmatic figure has quickly carved out a meaningful presence in the Ultimate Universe, appearing across Ultimate Invasion and prominently throughout Ultimate Black Panther, where they keep extraordinary company alongside T'Challa, Ororo Munroe, Killmonger, and the formidable Lord Khonshu. With 15 catalog appearances already accumulated in just a couple of years, Lord Ra is precisely the kind of compelling new creation that reminds collectors why the Modern Age still has the power to surprise — a character worth watching closely as this bold reimagined universe continues to unfold.
