[edit] Character Biography
[edit] Early Life
Suzy was a struggling model in Southern California. Since she was rapidly developing muscles and the agencies thought she was too "buff" to be a model. On an audition, Suzy was suddenly attacked by a Sentinel, a left-over minion from Onslaught.
The Sentinel implied that she was actually a mutant Kree-Warrior, though her exact origins are still unclear today. Reporters who saw the fight between Suzy and the Sentinel ran to interview her. During the interview she kept using the term "Ultra", which led to the press dubbing her "Ultra Girl". Suzy began to receive endorsements, and thought that being Ultra Girl was her ticket to stardom, so she and her friends designed a costume from sports apparel she had received from past modelling jobs. One of Suzy's friends, Amber, tried to convince her to abandon the superhero idea, but Ultra Girl was set on it, even getting to work with the New Warriors. After a mission with the Warriors, Ultra Girl learned that Amber was in fact "Ambra", a Kree agent sent to Earth to watch Suzy (whose real name was Tsu-Zana). Ambra also informed Suzy that many of her friends (even her childhood doctor) were Kree. It was said in the Kree writings that Tsu-Zana was to be the Ultimate Unifier, so she could eventually restore glory to the Kree Empire. They asked her to abandon her superhero career, as to not draw attention to the Kree.
[edit] Civil War
The honor of working with the New Warriors is now haunting her, as the Warriors are partly responsible for an explosion in Stamford which caused the death of hundreds of people, including children. Ultra Girl last appeared briefly in She-Hulk #8 (July, 2006) where it was revealed she has been publicly outed by an anti-New Warriors hate site.
Ultra-Girl is now a member of Captain America's secret Avengers as shown in Civil War #5.
