Who's Who in the Superman Comics

Ultraman

From an alternate dimension, Ultraman is the exact opposite of Superman. He is an evil doppelganger of The Man of Tomorrow. Wearing a blue costume not unlike Superman's own, Ultraman shares the same powers. However, instead of being harmed by Kryptonite, the alien rock actually provides Ultraman with a different super power.

Ultraman is the leader of The Crime Syndicate, comprised of himself, Super Woman, Owlman, Johnny Quick, and Power Ring. You guessed it, the entire group is an evil version of The Justice League!

As a collective, The Crime Syndicate has clashed repeatedly with both The Justice League of America and The Justice Society of America. And Ultraman has personally challenged Superman more than once.

First Appearance: JLA #29
