Ultraman

The Marvel incarnation of Ultraman is a Japanese superhero who crosses over into the Marvel Universe, teaming with the Avengers and other Marvel heroes. This version brings the iconic Tsuburaya Productions giant hero into direct collaboration with characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men.

Fresh from a 2024 debut by artist Dike Ruan, this Marvel incarnation of Ultraman arrives in the Modern Age with serious company to keep — sharing pages with Spider-Man, Tony Stark, Scott Summers, and Storm across a handful of high-profile titles. Though still early in their comics journey with just six catalog appearances, Ultraman has already made an impression across Ultraman x the Avengers, All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider, and Ultimate X-Men — a remarkably diverse spread for such a new presence. For collectors with an eye for ground-floor opportunities, a debut issue from 2024 rubbing shoulders with Marvel's heaviest hitters is exactly the kind of entry worth marking.
