“	...I am Ultraman!* Nothing can kill me. Nothing can hurt me. Nothing has ever freakin' scratched me. Metropolis is mine. Its people are mine. They love me.*	„
	~ Ultraman.

Ultraman is the name of several DC Comics villains, all of whom are evil versions of Superman. The current holder of the title is said to be the Superman alternative from the antimatter-universe, as a resident of the antimatter universe, he is a devoted worshiper of evil and thus in direct opposition to the ideals, his mainstream counterpart stands for.

Ultraman is not to be confused with the clone of Superman that went berserk in Superman, Doomsday, though the two are similar concepts Ultraman is defined as the dark-half of Superman made flesh rather than a simple clone-turned-bad, being born in another universe and thus possessing similar powers to the mainstream Superman but used purely for selfish and/or immoral gain.

Ultraman has not been seen very often in publishing outside the comics, though other villainous versions of Superman have, such as the rogue Superman from Justice Lords. However, Ultraman himself appeared in the 2010 animated film Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths and the DC Universe Online videogame.

Trivia

Despite preceding his existence by four years, this Ultraman is not to be confused with the Japanese superhero created by Eiji Tsuburaya and Toru Narita in 1966 who shares a similar name.
In "JLA: Earth 2", Ultraman was a human astronaut who gotten his powers after being experimented on by aliens (presumably Kryptonians of the Antimatter Universe).
Traditionally, Kryptonians are only affected by Kryptonite of their own native universe. This doesn't seem the case for Kal-Il since he can be empowered by the Kryptonite of both his home universe and the Prime universe.
