History
Self proclaimed as the "Dark Ruler of the Universe" Alien Babalou was a cunning, trickster alien with a personal vendetta against the Ultramen and came up with an evil plan to destroy them. First, he captured and frozen Leo’s brother Astra to steal his identity and then used his chain to topple the Ultra Tower in the Land of Light. Inside the ruined tower, Babalou entered the ruins and stole the Ultra Key, an object that keeps the Land of Light in orbit around were its dead sun once stood. With the key in hand and still disguised as Astra, Babalou fled the land of light, as it headed on its collision course with Earth.

After a long and brutal battle between Leo and the Ultra Brothers, Leo was weakened by the Ultramen, thanks to Fake Astra using him as a shield to protect himself. Just as Fake Astra was about to attakck the Ultra Brothers with the Ultra Key, Ultraman King appeared, destroyed his disguise and snapping the Ultra Key in half. Now exposed and less powerful, Alien Babalou fled from the Ultra Brothers and managed to escape when King called them back forcing them to try and save as many lives as possible. With the Key broken, and the Land of Light's impact imminent, Babalou gloated pridefully, walking the streets of the seemingly doomed Earth. MAC was left with an impossible choice, either destroy the Ultra's home world, or let it collide and destroy both planets.

Feeling guilty, Ultraman Leo left to space and discovered the location of his true brother through a distress beacon his color timer gave off, retrieving his brother from Babalou’s prison. With the real Astra freed, the Leo Brothers returned to Earth and restored the Ultra Key, prompting the enraged Babalou to try and stop the Brothers. Thanks to the assistance of MAC, Astra took off to return the key and Ultraman Leo was left to pummel Alien Babalou senseless with his superior martial arts skills until finally, Leo leapt into the air and struck Babalou in the chest with the Leo Kick, sending a shower of sparks flying from his chest before Babalou fell to the ground, dying in a huge explosion. With Babalou dead the Ultra key restore, the Land of Light returned to it's rightful place in M78.

Imitation Astra
To got his revenge on the Ultra Brothers, Alien Babalou disguised himself as Astra after capturing him, freezing him in a block of ice, and abandoning him in the middle of space. Disguised as the Fake Astra, Babalou then stole the Ultra Key, a device that both maintained the Land of Light‘s orbit and was capable of destroying an entire planet in a single blast. Before he could escape, Fake Astra was confronted by Ultraman over taking the key. Despite being overpowered by Ultraman, Fake Astra escaped the planet, leaving the Ultra Brothers to believe Astra had betrayed them and worse, without the Ultra Key to keep their planet in orbit, the Land of Light was sent into a collusion course with Earth.

Fake Astra made his way towards Earth, where he planned to use Leo’s trust in his brother to trick Gen into protecting him from the Ultra Brothers until it was too late to avert the collision. Once Gen and Dan found Fake Astra, the doppelganger pleads with Gen to save him from the other Ultras who were chasing him. Gen fell for his ruse, Dan however knew he was a fake and used his Ultra Will Power on him so the Ultra Key could be recovered by his brothers. Oblivious, Gen fought with the crippled Dan to protect his "brother," until Zoffy, Ultraman, Jack, and Ace arrived and overwhelming Fake Astra.

After battling with Dan, Gen transformed to come to his "brother’s" aid, fending off the Ultra Brothers. Leo tried to talk some sense into Fake Astra, but with Earth slowly falling apart and with the Land of Light's collision nigh, Ultra Brothers had no choice by to fight Leo and Fake Astra to try to get the Ultra Key back. During the battle, Ultraman, Jack, and Ace fired weakened versions of their signature rays to end the battle quickly, but Fake Astra cowardly used Leo as a shield to protect himself. Leo took the brunt of the attacks and was badly wounded. With Leo out fo action, Fake Astra prepared to use the Ultra Key’s devastating power against the Ultra Brothers and destroy them. Before he use the weapon, Ultraman King arrived to thwart the diabolical alien. He fired a beam of energy from his color timers, shattering the disguise and revealing Babalou’s true face.
