Ultra Comics was the protector of Earth 33, created to fight the Gentry.
History
Engineered by the memesmiths of Earth 33 as a comic book to protect against the encroaching forces of The Gentry, Ultra Comics was imbued with a coherent origin and backstory (reflecting the Golden, Silver, Dark and Modern Ages of Comic Books, at some point losing a female equivalent in battle) and infused with the power of the Ultragem, powered by the collective consciousness of his readers. Rapidly experiencing feelings of self-doubt, existential terror and moral uncertainty with his emerging consciousness, Ultra was nevertheless sent into the ruins of a post-apocalyptic New York City to begin his mission. Battling against the forces of Reborizzion and meeting with the Neighborhood Guard, Ultra was lured into a trap by a group of insidious super-cannibals, before having the Ultragem itself devoured by the all-powerful Ultraa. However, he manipulated the Ultragem into a solvent in order to defeat Ultraa, before being faced by Intellectron of the Gentry, who immediately defeated him by aging him to near-death. Ultra travels back to the beginning of the book in order to regain his youth and emerges back in the present to defeat the Gentry. However, his efforts are for naught, and he is seemingly destroyed.
