Travelling to Stonehenge, he launches himself into space. Ultimus is later recruited by the Kree Supreme Intelligence to aid in the Kree/Shi'ar War. Ultimus travels to the Kree homeworld Hala, where he meets and joins the Kree Starforce. Together they battle the Avengers and the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. Following the war, he and the rest of the Starforce return to Hala to help the Kree rebuild under Shi'ar rule.
