Ultimen
<b>The Ultimen</b> are a fictional [[superhero]] group featured in the [[animated]] series ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]''. Based on original characters from the ''[[Super Friends]]'', they are a group of young heroes who used their gifts to not only help people, but also to gain [[media]] attention. 

== Team history ==
{{spoiler}}
[[Image:ultimen.jpg|thumb|250px|The Ultimen (from left to right: Juice, Long Shadow, Wind Dragon, Shifter, and Downpour).]]
(contracted; show full)
* [[Shifter (Justice League Unlimited)|Shifter]] – Downpour’s sister, can turn into any animal, even extinct ones, though she always has white skin, fur, scales, etc. (Based on Jayna of the [[Wonder Twins]])
* [[Juice (Justice League Unlimited)|Juice]] – Can control electricity that came from his body. Water is his weakness and causes his powers to short out.  (Based on [[Black Vulcan]]
), who is in turn based on the character [[Black Lightning]].)

=== Others ===
*[[Maxwell Lord]] – Took care of the Ultimen’s public image and profits. He also looked after them.
*[[Amanda Waller]] – Led the creation of the Ultimen among other Project Cadmus affairs. 
*[[Professor Hamilton]] – Looked after the Ultimen (along with Lord) and also acted as their doctor.

== Trivia ==
* In the episode "Ultimatum", the Ultimen are fought by a team consisting of the founding members of the very first <i>Super Friends</i> series: [[Batman]], [[Wonder_Woman|Wonder Woman]], [[Superman]], and [[Aquaman]]. (Sadly for fans, [[Robin (comics)|Robin]], [[Wendy Harris (Super Friends)|Wendy]] and [[Marvin White (Super Friends)|Marvin]] are nowhere to be seen. [[Dwayne McDuffie]] claims that [[Wonderdog (Super Friends)|Wonderdog]] appeared as "the beast that threw itself against the bars." [http://jl.toonzone.net/episode34/episode34.htm])
* Also conspicuous by his absence in "Ultimatum" was the only other "Affirmitave Action" hero from ''Superfriends,'' [[El Dorado (Superhero)|El Dorado]]. The shirtless hispanic hero had an arsenal of superpowers that were vaguely defined at best, likely explaining his absence.  El Dorado often exhibited teleportation and illusionary powers, though.
