Übermensch, also known as Overman, is the name of several supervillains who have appeared in American comic books published by DC Comics as a counterpart of Superman.
First version
The first version was created by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, Vince Argondezzi, Michael Bair and Brian Murray, and first appeared in Young All-Stars #1 (June 1987). Übermensch was a Nazi super-agent of Axis Amerika.
Second version
The second version (also known as Shepherd) was created by Joe Kelly and Duncan Rouleau, and first appeared in JLA #80 (June 2003). Übermensch was a member of Axis Amerika and the Society.
Third version
A third version (known as Reichsmark) was created by Geoff Johns, Alex Ross, and Dale Eaglesham, and first appeared in Justice Society of America (vol. 3) #2 (March 2007). A member of the Fourth Reich who fights against the Justice Society of America, he is a metahuman who has indestructible metal skin and turns anyone he touches into statues. Alongside Captain Nazi and Baroness Blitzkrieg, Reichsmark attacks many of the JSA's members' descendants before being killed by Damage.[1]
Ultivac is a giant robot built by scientists Felix Hesse and Floyd Barker, who went rogue against its creators. It was ultimately convinced to give up its villainous ways by the Challengers of the Unknown before one of its creators destroyed it nevertheless. It was magically re-created to oppose the Forgotten Heroes.
Ultraa's origin is very similar to Superman's, in that he was born on an alien world and sent to Earth to escape its destruction. He landed in the Australian Outback and was raised by Indigenous Australians. Ultraa joins the Justice League of Earth-One, but they turn against him following an incident where he uses a ray gun to make the members of the League and the Injustice Gang apathetic.[6][7]
As a result of their second encounter with Ultraa, the League imprisons him in a "stasis cube" prison of Superman's design. He is later released by an alien hive mind known as the Over-Complex.[8] A dispirited Ultraa adopts the civilian guise of Jack Grey and becomes a busboy. He is manipulated by Joe Parry, a down-and-out former opponent of the Justice League, but a heart-to-heart talk with Hawkman convinces him to break off the attack. Ultraa subsequently decides to move back to Australia.[9]
In The New 52, Ultraa is a metafictional character who resides on Earth-33, an analogue of the real world that has no metahumans. Ultra is Earth-33's sole metahuman and is empowered by the minds of those who read his comics.[12]
Umbaluru is an Australian aboriginal man who travelled to Gotham City to retrieve a relic and avenge his people, coming into conflict with Batman. By the time of the events of Doomsday Clock, he had joined the Sleeping Soldiers, Australia's sanctioned superhero team.
Umbrax
Umbrax is a sentient black sun that was powering the Ultraviolet Invisible Spectrum and became the first Ultraviolet Lantern.[13]
Usil the Sun Archer is from Naples during fascist Italy. A counterpart of Green Arrow, he combines extraordinary archery skills with a variety of standard and trick arrows, and a member of Axis Amerika.[14][15][16][17]
