I am not Übermensch or the Ultra-Humanite, but I am indeed Ultraman of the Crime Syndicate! Chosen solely because we hadn’t done U in a while and I happened to see [Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_League:_Crisis_on_Two_Earths) on Saturday. (Which is an animated movie.)

Next game goes to the Prof.
