History[]
World of the Land of Light[]
Family tree of the original Ultra Brothers
After the people of the world that came be known as the Land of Light, found themselves with the power of Ultra, their deep rooted sense of justice dictated that they should use their powers for good and to help bring peace to the universe, thus the Inter Galactic Defense Force was born. Eventually, it came to be headed by a powerful Ultra who earned the title, Father of Ultra, the one who defeated Alien Empera in personal combat. The Ultra Brothers consisted of several Ultras who had visited and protected the Earth for an extended period, save Captain Zoffy who only visited on several occasions for short visits.
The term "Ultra Brothers" was first mentioned during the broadcast of Return of Ultraman by the monthly magazine Shogaku Sannensei. It was first mentioned in the main story in the finale of Return of Ultraman by Alien Bat, and were physically shown in the premiere of Ultraman Ace with five members, who were Zoffy, Ultraman, Ultraseven, Ultraman Jack, and Ultraman Ace. As time passed, Ultraman Taro, the son of Father of Ultra and Mother of Ultra, became a new member after finishing his training.
Ultraman Leo and Astra, two Ultras from Planet L77, became members of Ultra Brothers thanks to Ultraman King, Father of Ultra, Mother of Ultra, and Ultraseven, who invited them to live on the Land of Light.
Later Ultraman 80 joined the group as the 9th Ultra Brother. The youngest and most recent member of the group is Ultraman Mebius, the pupil of Taro, who is one of the most skilled Ultras of his time, being responsible for Empera's second and final defeat. During Mebius's time on Earth he was assisted by Ultraman Hikari multiple times and after his assistance in Empera's defeat became a member as well, making him the first (and possibly only) fully blue-bodied member of the group.
It was stated at the end of Mebius' series that the title of Ultra Brother was like the title 'Ultraman' awarded to the Ultras by the people of Earth.
