[edit] Character biography
Captain Ultra (real name Griffin Gogol) has the power of flight, superhuman strength and endurance, and X-ray vision. He was originally pathologically afraid of fire; he eventually overcame this limitation thanks to years of extensive therapy under Doc Samson.[citation needed] This marks him as a parody of the Martian Manhunter.[citation needed]
Captain Ultra first appeared as an applicant to the supervillain team called the Frightful Four; he was at first enthusiastically accepted by the other three villains, ecstatic at his large array of powers. However, when one of them began to light a cigarette in celebration, he fainted in the presence of the match; he was promptly rejected. He later applied to the Defenders. He has since had a minor career as a solo superhero, often teaming up with heroes like Thor to battle minor villains. He also does stand-up comedy.
