Ultraman
Dada was originally sent to capture six human specimens for testing on his home planet. As a result he had abducted a nearby science laboratory and has caused several outside "freak-accidents" (such as crashing vehicles, and jamming frequencies) in order to avoid detection, which eventually called the attention of the Science Patrol. Upon abducting the lab, One of the Dadas possessed one of the scientists and had shrunken four other scientists with a micronizer gun and was planning on shrinking a woman whom had survived a bus crash (from a Dada's detection avoidance) after she had found out about the Dada's plans. The Captain of the Science Patrol came to her rescue and soon a giant game of Cat and mouse occurred between the Dada and the humans.

After receiving a jumbled radio transmission, Hayata transformed into Ultraman and flew to the source. Dada notices Ultraman's appearance and grows into a gigantic form, then the two get into a long, and unusual fight, with Ultraman having the clear advantage. After Ultraman strikes Dada in the forehead with the Specium Ray, Dada tries to resume his chase after the humans only to be knocked off the side of the building. Ultraman notices Dada's location and tries to fight back (even being briefly being shrunk himself!) Finally, after Dada tries to fly to his own safety, Ultraman fires another Specium Ray at Dada, killing him and ending his hunt for humans.

Ultraman Powered
Dada reappeared in episode 8 of the series Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, as Powered Dada (パワードダダ, Pawādo Dada).

Unlike the original Dada's appearance, This version of Dada appeared to have been a Computer Virus come alive as it absorbs human essence as his own and originally was discovered and existed inside of a computer inside an apartment. As WINR investigates, they are all paralyzed by a swarm of sentient Dadas that electrocute them. Kai transforms into Ultraman Powered as the Dadas merge into a giant form. At first it seems Dada has the advantage with his electrically based powers and his telekinetic powers at his side, but Powered eventually wins by overloading Dada's power source (a nearby Power Plant) causing Dada to explode. However, the ending of the episode still hints that there still lurks more Dada's inside the computer system.

Trivia

 * This Dada was slightly larger than Ultraman Powered, his head was larger than his body, and the hands and feet were large too. Due to this, they stuck out in front of the Dada through out most of the fight and he hardly walked.


 * This is the only incarnation of Dada who could attack with natural beams, and he even possessed the power of telekinesis. He also had some electrically-based powers as well, something his original counterpart lacked altogether.
