Comparisons with the Original Ultraman
The differences between Imitation Ultraman and the Original Ultraman are many:

Original Ultraman

 * His eyes were colored white and were brighter, his chest doesn't have any black stripes, his ears were rectangle-shaped and his feet were just like white boots.

Imitation Ultraman

 * His eyes were colored orange and looked like Belial's eyes, his chest has black stripes, his ears were triangle-shaped and his feet are just like witch boots.

Ultraman
Imitation Ultraman was a more villainous-looking version of Ultraman used as a disguise by Alien Zarab in his bid to conquer the Earth. He first became the fake Ultraman to attack the city, but quickly vanished so Zarab could move onto the next phase of his plan, convincing the leaders of Japan that Ultraman was an evil alien bent on conquering the Earth. He soon became the fake Ultraman again to attack the city, smashing through buildings in a sudden onslaught. The military tried to defeat him but he merely marched through their attacks. Thankfully, Hoshino managed to free Hayata and return the Beta Capsule to him but was himself captured by the doppelganger of Ultraman, held high into the air. Watching the boy struggle, the copy was suddenly confronted by the true Ultraman! Ultraman swiftly saved Hoshiro from his imposter and began to fight him, grappling with him and exchanging blows, but Ultraman ultimately got the upper hand. Imitation Ultraman attempted to take off into the sky to launch another attack but Ultraman took the opening to strike him with the Specium Ray. The fake Ultraman fell to the ground and flickered away to reveal the true villain, Alien Zarab.

Trivia
*The suit of the Imitation Ultraman suit is the original "A-Type" Ultraman suit that was worn for the first 13 episodes of the series, only heavily modifyed.
 * Imitation Ultraman would be a pioneering figure to the Ultra Series for portraying the "fake hero" gimmick. This would be used several times on other imitation Ultras and aliens such as Alien Babalou.

Ultraman Mebius & The Ultra Brothers
Another Imitation Ultraman created by Alien Zarab would appear in the film Ultraman Mebius & The Ultra Brothers as "Imitation Mebius."

Imitation Mebius at first stood perfectly still upon his arrival. At first the people of Kobe started to surround him thinking he was the real Mebius. Then all of a sudden, he attacked. He started by attacking close by buildings just to upset the real Mebius who was paralyzed on the side-lines, GUYS was contacted and sent to defend Kobe. While back at GUYS base, Teppei and Konomi started to wonder why “Mebius” was attacking, but Captain Singo said seriously, “It’s not him. Look at his eyes”, showing everyone the black under his eyes. Imitation Mebius then tried to attack the Mayor of Kobe who was on a bullet train. As the passengers on board watched in horror, Imitation Mebius smiled at their fear. Just before he could destroy the train the real Mebius transformed and attacked. Face to face, Imitation Mebius mockingly dared Mebius to fight. Mebius was enraged even more by this and attacked mercilessly. Eventually, after punching the Imitation repeatedly in the face, his true form was revealed, Alien Zarab.

Trivia

 * Imit Mebius's suit is modified from the backup suit of Ultraman Mebius
 * The UHS 2006 SP Mebius is a "remold" of Ultraman Mebius, only the leg unit, while the chest is a repainted Mebius body.

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey
The Imitation Ultraman appereared again in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galxy NEO once agian as Alien Zarab.

Zarab turned into the Imitation Ultraman after he was discoverd by the ZAP Spacy crew. Rei quickly sent Gomora into the fight but the faker was far from a fighter, hurting himself more than he was hurting Gomora. Finally, Imitation Ultraman attempted Ultraman’s Specium Ray, only for it to fail completely and for him to be hit while trying to get it to work. Hyuga attacked him in the Dragon Speeder as he fought Gomora, giving the Battlenizer monster the chance to fire the Super Oscillatory Wave. Imitation Ultraman took a direct hit from the attack but wasn’t killed, just blasted to the ground and transformed back into Alien Zarab.
