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)
“Giving presents is a talent; to know what a person wants, to know when and how to get it, to give it lovingly and well. Unless a character possesses this talent there is no moment more annihilating to ease than that in which a present is received and given.”
—Pamela Glenconner (1871–1928)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
