Ultraman Taro
The aliens of Planet Temperor, like other alien evildoers bent on control of galactic civilization, were sworn enemies of the people of the Land of Light. One individual alien of the people of Temperor, and his subordinate, sought to destroy to Land of Light out of their pure hatred of their people, seeing them as the greatest obstacle to their galactic conquest. But his scientific adviser (a cymbal-banging monkey) advised of the Ultra Brothers' inevitable interference.

To ensure their victory of destroying the people from the Land of Light, the two beings of Temperor set out to attack Earth and destroy the Ultra Brothers by attacking their newest member; Ultraman Taro. Immediately after arriving on Earth, the Alien Temperor sent out his subordinate into the middle of Tokyo city, who then grew to a giant size and soon lured out Ultraman Taro. The Alien Temperor began to destroy Tokyo, calling the attention of the ZAT forces. However, their weapons were powerless before the man from Temperor, who laughed at their wasted effort. Finally, Kotaro Higashi summoned Taro into the battle, however he wasn't confident he could defeat the alien, as he knew of their terrible weapons. Instead, the Ultra Crusader tried to lure Alien Temperor out of the populated area, and then made a retreat. Meanwhile, ZAT continued to attack the invader, but he used his flames to force ZAT to retreat, and he shot down one of their fighters. Suddenly, Zoffy came to save them before flying off, taking ZAT and a scientist as temporary hosts for himself and the veteran Ultra Brothers, to keep themselves hidden from the Alien Temperor.

Taro then returned to battle against Alien Temperor, with an energy blast followed up by the Storium Ray, but it had no effect on the evil alien. Alien Temperor crushed Taro with his electric whip, then he pummeled Taro, choked him with his toxic gas, burned him, and continued to beat down Taro. Taro was very injured, and had no power to beat Alien Temperor, causing him no option but to retreat. With no other choice, however, Taro returned to battle once again, only to be whipped and beaten all over again. With Taro beaten for the third time, the five Ultras finally appeared to face the alien invaders. Before the two alien forces could realy begin their fight, Taro once again returned to face Alien Temperor, but this time Taro had a new strategy. Taro became human-sized and flew inside Alien Temperor subordinate's mouth, and then destroyed him from the inside by growing to his giant size. After the defeat of the subordinate, Leader Alien Temperor used their people's advanced technology to revive him, and ordered him to continue on his mission to destroy the Ultra Brothers. Taro soon returned to battle the subordinate Temperor with an energy blast followed up by the Storium Ray, but it had no effect on the evil alien. Alien Temperor crushed Taro with his electric whip, then he pummeled Taro and then choked him with his toxic gas, burning him, and continued to beat down Taro. Taro was very hurt, and had no power to beat Temperor, causing him no option but to retreat. But suddenly, the five Ultras appeared to the alien tyrant, he attacked them, but they avoided his attack. Taro returned to human size and flew inside Temperor's mouth, growing inside him, destroying the evil alien. However, as the Ultra brothers were celebrating, the alien's spaceship appeared and resurrected him in front of Kotaro. He used his special vision to see Kotaro, and then taunted him. Kotaro continued to fire on Temperor, who flew to the sky to await a true challenge as Kotaro told the Ultra Brothers that Temperor was brought back to life.

A while later on that same day, Temperor attacked Tokyo, creating a fissure on Earth. Kotaro distracted the alien, making him dizzy. ZAT appeared and started to attack Temperor, but it was useless again, Temperor was mocking them, but Kotaro continued to annoy Temperor. Temperor got so dizzy that he toppled over. Annoyed and getting tired of the tactic, he returned to his spaceship again.

Thinking of a new tactic, he turned into his Temperor Spider form. Temperor soon captured Kotaro, and returned to his normal form, he and holding Kotaro with a rope he started to torture him and then rub it in the face of his brothers that he had caught Taro. However, Kotaro escaped, landing on the nose of one of ZAT's planes, as the other Ultra Brothers helped get him to safety, unknowingly letting Temperor discover their new hosts before trying to kill them all. Despite Temperor's best efforts, the Ultra Brothers escaped with their hosts as Temperor was wreaking chaos on the Tokyo.

Soon, the Ultra Brothers were forced to give their life force to the five members of ZAT and Professor Ohtani. Temperor discovered them again, but they managed to escape from him. Very furious, he continued destroying Tokyo, leaving it in ruins. He was soon going to attack Kotaro, but the Ultra Brothers had a plan. Hiding inside several toys that were thrown at Temperor the brothers ambushed and confronted him. He attacked with everything in his arsenal but the Ultras resisted his attacks. Ultraseven, Ace and Jack all fired at him but it didn't take him down. Temperor blasted the Ultra Brothers, making some of them to fall to the ground. While he was laughing, several of the Ultras fired their beams together to the alien, causing a cyclone of energy that stunned him long enough for Taro to cut off the alien's arms, leaving him powerless. All the Ultra Brothers picked up the alien, and after throwing him high to the air, Taro used his Neo Storium Ray to destroy the tyrant. His ship tried to revive him again, but several Ultras fired their beams on the ship, causing it to be destroyed, ensuring Temperor was dead once and for all.

An Alien Temperor appeared in the movie under the name Batista (バチスタ), summoned by Mulnau via her Dark Ring alongside Alien Guts Doppel and Alien Hipporito Callisto as part of her Dark Alien Army to finish off Ultraman Orb, who was about to be finished by Alien Gapiya Sadeath at the time. The three of them unleashed their signature attacks on the Ultra, with Batista's being his flames, knocking him down in the process and leaving him wide open for the three of them to capture Orb for Mulnau and transported away, leaving Sadeath frustrated.

He was later ordered by Mulnau to help out Deavorick alongside Callisto and later grew giant together and fought against Ultraman Orb in his new Orb Trinity form, who effortlessly defeated Sadeath, until Zeppandon showed up to give the Ultra a hand. Batista took on the fusion kaiju alongside Callisto and while they had trouble with him at first, the kaiju ran out of fire later on and found himself at the mercy of the alien duo as they beat them up and defeated him with their flames and lasers respectively, forcing Zeppandon to revert back to Jugglus Juggler's human form, and then joined Deavorick in ganging up and beating up Orb alongside Callisto.

Just as things seemed bleak, Jugglus used his powers to cast away the Dark Ring, which resulted in the Ultra Warriors, Ginga, Victory, & X being freed from being space jewels after they unleashed energy blasts at the trio. After being joined by Guts, the alien army launched their attacks on the Ultras, who deflected and dodged the attacks and Batista ended up fighting Ultraman Ginga alongside Callista, who chose to fight Ultraman Victory. During their fight, the Temperor unleashed his signature flame attack on Ginga, but the latter jumped up to dodge it and then counterattacked with a Ginga Thunderbolt. Later on, the alien duo decided to end their fight when Victory and Ginga summoned the Shepardon Saber and Ginga Spark respectively and launched their combined attack against the Ultras' Ginga Victory Ultimatum, but the latter won the beam struggle in the end, resulting in the two aliens being destroyed, and ending their service to Mulnau.
