Who is Ultraa?

Pre-Crisis Origin Thousands of years ago, in another galaxy, a star went supernova; destroying all planets in its system. One of those planets was inhabited by a civilization that was advanced enough to save part of the population in a space-ark. Frozen in suspended animation and watched over only by robots, one third of the planets populace survived, while the ship's master - a computer called Maxitron - sought a new world for them. In the system of Earth-Prime, the ship was damaged by a meteor swarm, altering its course towards the Sun. Maxitron had time to send only one infant to safety on Earth. Everyone else perished. Found and raised by Australian Aborigines, the child grew up to be Ultraa. Endowed with fantastic powers on Earth, Ultraa learned about the outside world through his super senses.
