History and Background
Ultimate-Girl is a genetically engineered superhero originally created by the former villain Terra Rhising. Created from a combination of Human and Titanian DNA and rapidly aged to her adult age, Ulty's mind was implanted with false memories; as well as special programming Terra could activate to make her to attack the Justiciars when least expected. Unaware of her hidden programming, Ulty believed she was in fact a young woman named Karen Summers who had survived a rare illness thanks to a highly experimental treatment which unlocked her superhuman potential; and that she had relocated to Paragon City in order to use her new powers to help people. As planned by Terra, Ultimate-Girl applied and was accepted into the Justiciars as a probationary member.
As she adjusted to her new life, Karen settled into life in Paragon City; battling foes both with her fellow Justiciars and by herself. Durign one such adventure, she encountered the intergalactic con artist Davik Ventura who had come to Earth seeking potential women for his clients harem. Upon seeing Ultimate-Girl's beauty and power as she fought and defeated the battle drone sent after him, Ventura attempted to abduct her and flee to another galaxy. Weakened from her battle with the drone, Ulty's power was replenished immediately once her body absorbed a tremendous amount of solar radiation. She freed herself and then arrested Davik, who was handed over to intergalactic authorities.
Ultimate-Girl also began to develop strong friendships with her fellow Justiciars; especially Volleygirl and Energy Giant who began to think of Karen as their own sister. During this time, Terra, who had recently reformed and now used his skills and abilities as a hero, offered to help Ulty "recover" her fractured memories. But her fellow Justiciars warned her about Terra infamous past, and that she would be better off avoiding him. In truth, Terra had witnessed the amazing progress that Ultimate-Girl had been making and had long since decided not to carry out his previous plans for her.
Ultimate-Girl took part in the Muspelwar, and in the events leading up to it. She aided some of the Justiciars in gathering up the golden apples of the Asgardian Goddess Idun and fought against the thunder god Thor; although she was easily bested by the powerful deity. Ulty was once of several Justiciars who combined their powers to defeat the demon Surtur and his demonic hordes who sought to bring about Ragnarok; the Asgardians apocalypse.
Later, Ulty and the Justiciars traveled to Praetorian Earth in a mission to rescue Justiciar member Star-Pulse's parents; who'd been arrested on suspiscion of his treachery. Ultimate-Girl and several other Justiciars created a city-wide diversion; diverting the attention of the authorities while the other justiciars were able to rescue the parents and escape to Primal Earth. However, in the process of retreating, Ultimate-Girl was overpowered by Emperor Cole, who entered the fight himself, and was defeated and captured.
Ulty was subjected to weeks of interrogation and brainwashing administered by Neuron and Mother Mayhem; who probed Karen's mind and discovered the truth about her implanted memories. Confronted by this new knowledge, Karen was easily manipulated and controlled by Mother, who then used her to attack her fellow Justicars who had returned to Praetoria to rescue her.
Ulty and Energy Giant battled across Neutropolis causing untold damage to everything in their path. Although the tow of them were very evenly matched, eventually their battled ended in a stalemate thanks to Psi-Cat, who was able to break Mother Mayhems control over Ulty's mind. Returned to Prmal Earth and with her mind restored, Karen had to then deal with the revelations of what she discovered about herself; including the subconscious memories of Terra.
Ultimate-Girl confronted Terra about what she has discovered. To hers and the other Justiciars surprise, he freely admitted to having created Karen originally to destroy them, but changed his plans upon reforming and witnessing Karen's growth and development into an independent and free-willed being. In his own words, by becoming a devil, he had given the world an angel, and felt the world was better off with her as one of it's champions.
Having come to terms with her true past, Ultimate-Girl continues to fulfill her mission to protect the innocent and defend justice as one of Earth's greatest heroes.
