Who is Ultiman?

Ultiman is a classic superhero archetype published through Image Comics, debuting in Big Bang Comics #1 in 1994. Big Bang Comics was conceived as a loving homage to the Silver Age, and Ultiman serves as the title's Superman-style powerhouse figure within that retro-inspired universe.

Ultiman burst onto the scene in 1994 with the very first issue of Image's Big Bang Comics β€” a debut that collectors have flagged as a key issue, and a strong opening chapter for a character who has kept readers engaged well into the modern era. Created by Tom King, Ultiman has carved out a lasting presence across Big Bang Comics and Big Bang Adventures, racking up 25 catalog appearances over more than three decades alongside a colorful roster of characters including The Knight Watchman, The Blitz, The Beacon, and Reid Randall. With two key issues to their name and a publishing run stretching from 1994 all the way to 2026, Ultiman is a modern-age creation with genuine staying power β€” exactly the kind of character worth hunting down for anyone who loves deep-cut Image history.
