- History:
- Ultimus The only Kree
Eternal still known to be alive. 3000 years ago, Ultimus was buried
below Stonehenge by the Deviant Lord Tantalus, and remained there until modern
times. He was called the "Demon Druid" for a time after being awakened, until
the Supreme Intelligence told him of his origins, assigned him the name "Ultimus",
and made him a member of Starforce, the team of Kree super-heroes. With
Starforce, he aided the Underground Legion in an assault upon Tantalus at
Armechadon, using his powers to track Tantalus there. -Thor#209, Excalibur#20,
