Ultraman Story 0 (manga)

Ultraman Story 0 (pronounced Ultraman Story Zero) is a now non-canon manga by Mabune Kazuo, the creator of such works as Super Doctor K.

The manga was originally supposed to serve as a prequal to the Showa era of the Ultra Series, showing the lives of the Ultra Brothers before the Ultras came to Earth.

Synopsis
The story begins with the people of the Land of Light creating an artifical sun called the Plasma Sun to replace their dead one However the device is interfered with by Aliens before its activation, aliens who intend to use it to transform themselves into stronger lifeforms. As a result the human like natives are transformed into Ultras but many of the Flora and Fauna are also transformed, into monster. Knowing that the light spread across the universe the Ultras spread across the stars to combat this threat.

Differences
The manga bares a few differences from the TV Showa Universe
 * Color Timer: The color timer is a natural organ for the Ultras.
 * The Plasma Sun was activated ten thousand years instead of over two hundred thousands before the first series. In fact Ultraman was on of the scientist that launched the device.
 * Some Ultras such as 80 have not been born yet.
 * Leo and Astra are shown having their own original human forms before gainin the power of Ultra. L-77 is not an Ultra world with only the twins, their father and their mentor (who came from the Land of Light) being the only Ultras to hail from there.
