"I am Alien Bado, Emperor of the Universe. I've been to this solar system before. Long ago. Back then, Earth was still a ball of fire. Intelligent life only lived on Pluto. We cannot permit beings like that other than ourselves to exist. We eradicated them. And so, now... Precisely. Now it is Earth's turn."
- ―Alien Bado to Dr. Miyabe, "Project Blue"

History
Pre-Ultraseven
According to Alien Bado, his people visited Earth's solar system, back when Earth was still forming. They wiped out the only form of life in the system at the time, on Pluto. They did this because they believed that no other form of life should exist besides their species.
Ultraseven
Alien Bado was an alien who referred to himself as "The Emperor of Space." He planned on destroying the Earth with his fleet of soldiers and their spacecrafts. However, Bado's comrades were unable to reach the Earth's surface thanks to an orbital energy barrier surrounding it known as "Project Blue," created by Dr. Miyabe of the Ultra Guard, forcing Bado to launch his invasion attempt alone. Angered by Miyabe's creation, Alien Bado invaded the scientist's summer house and transformed it into a ship, where he tormented Dr. Miyabe as Bado searched for the blueprints to Project Blue. Once the Ultra Guard found out about Bado's infiltration, they soon arrived on the scene to investigate what was happening, but before they could find any leads, Bado emerged and began menacing the UG, alongside Dr. Miyabe's wife, with his pistol. During the commotion, Dan transformed into Ultraseven to stop Alien Bado himself, but the alien noticed Ultraseven's presence and so tried to escape Earth with his prisoners. Luckily, Ultraseven grew into his giant size and was able to crash the ship out of the Earth’s atmosphere. However, Bado wasn’t finished yet and he morphed into a giant form to battle Ultraseven as well, grappling and throwing rocks at him before resorting to his spiked knuckle-duster-like weapon. Eventually once an opening was found, Ultraseven hit Bado with one strong punch in the face, knocking Bado into the air and on top of Ultraseven, who then held him up high and slammed him back onto the ground on his head, paralysing and mortally injuring the alien. After coughing up blood, Bado breathed his last.
