Revision 14427112 of "Ultimen" on enwiki

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

The team's money manager and “friend”, Maxwell Lord, used the media to make them look like selfless heroes who had nothing to hide from the public. Though they themselves didn’t know that Lord held a secret from them. The Ultimen were actually created in a lab with false memories by members of [[Project Cadmus]]. Eventually, they interrogated the truth out of Lord, who also told them that they were dying and were going to be replaced by clones. Angry, the Ultimen attempt to find the woman in charge, Amanda Waller and confront her. When the Justice League shows up, they stop searching for Waller and (except for Long Shadow) attacked them in hopes that they will be remembered for defeating the world’s most powerful heroes. The plan was a failure and they were defeated, in part due to Long Shadow. Long Shadow was allowed to join the Justice League, while the others were arrested, all awaiting their eventual deaths.
