Ultraman of Earth-3
The evil counterpart to Superman from Earth-3. Earth-3 is one of the many Parallel-Worlds that Superman has encountered in his many adventures. When human astronaut Clark Kent of Earth-3 was on a space mission his ship was set off course and was lost. It was ultimately found by Kryptonians who re-engineered his badly injured body using their advanced Kryptonian technology. The new re-engineered Clark Kent was then returned to Earth-3. Once there he discovered that when he was exposed to Kryptonite he gained superpowers that resembled those of Superman. He also became more powerful with each exposure to Kryptonite. He ultimately became known as the super villain Ultraman. He also was part of the super villain group called the Crime Syndicate of America.
His first appearance in a canonical book was in DC Comics Presents Annual No. 1 (1982) in a story entitled "Crisis on Three Earths!".
