History
Ultraman was born into the partially "reversed" universe of Earth-Three whereby the colonial British colonies successfully broke away from the Empire of United States in the 1700s and President John Wilkes Booth was assassinated by actor Abraham Lincoln as stated in the Crime Syndicate of AmeriCa first appearance (JLA Vol. 1 #29).

[Unlike the modern "Earth 2" of the Crime Syndicate of AmeriKa, Earth 3 was based on the ideals of "Good" and supportive morality of the general populace and law and order to be the norm rather than the idea of an amoral society loosely based on the Roman Empire of "who profits" as the norm]

Very little is know about the history of Ultraman before he became Ultraman other than he was traveling from Earth into outerspace as an explorer and encountered Kryptonite in outer space which changed him into a superpower house of vast powers and abilities. Upon his return to Earth-Three he renamed himself Ultraman and began a life of conquerance and destruction. It would be during his conquering that he encounterd four other superpowered being who would loosely gather together in various schemes to overtake their world and become the Crime Syndicate.

It would be after largely conquering most of their world that they encountered an extradimensional portal that showed the Crime Syndicate an alternate world. Seeking a open battle to test their powers after defeating the miltary forces of their native Earth-Three, the Crime Syndicate challenged the combined forces of the Earth-One Justice League and Earth-Two Justice Society. Not able to withstand the combined mights of two Earths greatest superbeings the Crime Syndicate was defeated and imprisoned in an extradimensional bubble created by the Earth-One Green Lantern. Over a period of time the bubble faded and the Crime Syndicate members escaped.

It would be on one of these periods between ruling and imprisonment that Ultraman was recruited by the extra-dimensional Alexei Luthor of Earth 2 and Lex Luthor of Earth 1 who sought to destroy their native Earths and rule Earth-Three as their new base of operations in their attempt to completely defeat their respective Supermen. Ultraman directly fought and defeated both Kal-L and the Earth 1 Superman who were brought to Earth 3 by Alexander Luthor, Sr. as his body was directly powered by the very source that depowered both Supermen. Seeing that the Supermen could not directly take on Ultraman and defeat him, Alexander Luthor, Sr. directly entered the fight after donning superpowered armor. Tricking Ultraman into thinking himself unable to directly fight the infinitely powered Ultraman, Luthor was able to get close enough to Ultraman to dephase Ultraman into an intangible state and allow Kal-L and the Earth 1 Superman to recover from Ultraman's Kryptonite powered attack.

After being defeated by Luthor, Ultraman was once again inmprisoned. But Ultraman was able to escape and battle against Luthor on many occasions who would routinely use his superior intellect and inventions to defeat Ultraman and the other members of the Crime Syndicate.

This basic stalement would continue until the antimatter wave attack of the Anti-Monitor came to Earth-Three during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Unable to stop the antimatter wave that was destroying Earth-Three, Ultraman and the other members of the Crime Syndicate teamed up with Luthor, Sr. in an attempt to stop the attack. Seeing that his inifnite powers were unable to stop the wave, Ultraman decided to attack the wave head on after stating to the helpless Power Ring that 'I do what I always do...I'll fight to the end.' He along with everyone else native to their dimension died in the attack and were completely erased from all history with the reset of the single surviving universe save for Kal-L and Alexander Luthor, Jr. who remembered Ultraman and his world.
