Ultra Boy - in Other Media

In Other Media

  • In Superman: The Animated Series, Ultra Boy made a cameo appearance in the 1998 episode "New Kids In Town". He later reappeared in a 2006 episode of Justice League Unlimited titled "Far From Home".
  • In episode 1.05 of the Legion of Super Heroes animated series (2006), Jo Nah appeared as a participant in the Intergalactic Games, an Olympics-like event in which Lightning Lad also competes. When the Fatal Five attack the games, Jo, along with Kem of Bismoll, helps the Legion defeat them, calling out the names of four of his various ultra-powers as he activates them ("Super strength!" "Invulnerability!" "Super-speed!" "Freezing breath!"). Phantom Girl compliments his skills (and thinks to herself that he's cute). In the first season finale, Jo Nah made a cameo, in costume, having been sent by his homeplanet to help the Legion stop the Sun-Eater. He also appeared in the episode "In The Beginning" and the season two finale Dark Victory. Jo Nah was voiced by James Arnold Taylor.
  • In the Champions (role-playing game), the term "Ultra Slot" is used to describe one of the powers within a framework in which only one power can be used at a time. The multipower framework is based directly on Ultra Boy and in fact was originally called the "Ultra" (hence "Ultra Slot").

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.
    Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
