Ultiman

Ultiman is a classic-style superhero published through Big Bang Comics, a title built around loving homages to the golden and silver ages of comics. He stands as one of that line's flagship characters, evoking the archetypal caped hero.

Ultiman burst onto the Image Comics scene in 1994, a loving product of the Copper/Modern Age that wears its classic superhero inspirations proudly on its cape. Created by Stan Timmons and debuting in Big Bang Comics #2, this character has proven remarkably durable — spanning over three decades of publication across Big Bang Comics, Big Bang Adventures, and even Savage Dragon, racking up 62 catalog appearances along the way. The company Ultiman keeps is genuinely exciting: Reid Randall, The Blitz, The Beacon, Molly Wilson, and Thunder Girl all share the page, a roster that crackles with the energy of a richly populated universe. With at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name and a publishing run stretching all the way to 2026, Ultiman is exactly the kind of character that rewards the curious fan who digs a little deeper into Image's expansive catalog.
