Captain Ultra (Marvel) Real Name: Griffin Gogol Search for 'Captain Ultra (Marvel)' on eBay Powers: Captain Ultra has the power of flight, superhuman strength and endurance, and X-ray vision -- among others. He can apparently tap his 'ultra-potential' to perform all sorts of 'ultra-feats', and once even told an 'ultra-joke'. Bio: When an elderly psychologist couldn't afford to pay plumber Griffin Gogol, he offered to cure Gogol's smoking habit via hypnosis. However, as Gogol later learned, the psychologist was an extraterrestrial, and the hypnosis unlocked Gogol's innate superhuman potential. Donning a staggeringly gaudy costume, Gogol became the superhero Captain Ultra ; however, he suffered from severe pyrophobia (fear of fire). Captain Ultra's first appearance was as an applicant to the supervillain team called the Frightful Four; he was at first enthusiastically accepted by the other three villains, ecstatic at his large array of powers. However, when one of them began to light a cigarette in celebration, he fainted in the presence of the match; he was promptly rejected. He eventually overcame his pathological fear of fire thanks to years of extensive therapy under Doc Samson.[citation needed] An unauthorized television program told of the Defenders. Captain Ultra was one of a large group to investigate by traveling to the Richmond Riding Academy on Long Island. There he worked with a small group to stop a crime spree back in New York. Like most of the other applicants, he was not pleased with the Defenders and never really petitioned the core group for membership. Soon after, he would move to Chicago. He has since had a minor career as a solo superhero, often teaming up with heroes like Thor to battle minor villains. Captain Ultra was also one of the aliases used by The Captain. Now a member of the 50 State Initiative, Nebraska team.
