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:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“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)
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
