Fictional Character Biography
Ultimus is a member of the Kree race, a warrior believed to be a Kree Eternal. Somehow he came to Earth, and fell into a state of suspended animation in a subterranean area 3,000 years ago. He was accidentally awakened from his slumber, and as the Demon Druid he battled Thor in England. He finally reached Stonehenge, and launched himself into space. Some time later, he reappeared in Scotland and encountered Excalibur. He created a nuclear facsimile of Stonehenge, which opened a teleportational gateway to his home world.
Ultimus was later contacted on an unnamed planet in the Kree Galaxy and recruited by the Supreme Intelligence to aid in the Kree/Shi'ar War. Ultimus traveled to Hala, where he met Shatterax, Korath, and Supremor for the first time. As a member of the Kree Starforce, he battled the Avengers. He witnessed the assassination of Ael-Dan and Dar-Benn by Deathbird. Alongside Starforce, he arrived in the Shi'ar Empire to assassinate Lilandra, but instead they battled another contingent of Avengers and the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. Ultimus returned to Hala alongside Lilandra, Starforce, and the Imperial Guard after the detonation of the nega-bomb to help the Kree rebuild under Shi'ar rule. Alongside Starforce and Deathbird, Ultimus encountered Quasar, Her, and Makkari on Hala.
With Korath and Shatterax he encountered the Underground Legion, who were pursuing Lord Tantalus, the man who buried him. Arriving on Armechadon, they confront Tantalus' expanded Peacekeepers and Ultimus is apparently reburied by one of their number, Schizo.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“If there be no nobility of descent in a nation, all the more indispensable is it that there should be nobility of ascent—a character in them that bear rule, so fine and high and pure, that as men come within the circle of its influence, they involuntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent distinction, the Royalty of Virtue.”
—Henry Codman Potter (1835–1908)
“The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
