Ultraman

The evil counterpart of Superman from DC's Crime Syndicate, this Ultraman hails from a dark mirror universe where heroism is inverted — he is a tyrannical villain possessing Superman's powers but none of his morality, leading the Syndicate's reign of terror.

A creature of darkness wearing a familiar face, this Ultraman burst onto the Modern Age DC scene in 2010, conjured by the creative team of James Robinson and Mark Bagley in the pages of Justice League of America #43. Haunting titles like Forever Evil and Detective Comics, he moves through a world populated by the likes of Batman, Owlman, Bruce Wayne, and Thomas Wayne Jr. — a rogues' gallery of mirrors and shadows that hints at the twisted nature of his corner of the DC universe. With only six catalog appearances across a tight 2010–2014 window, every issue he graces carries real weight for collectors hunting key Modern Age moments.
