Ultimus (Ard-Con) was created byGerry Conway andJohn Buscema, making his debut inThor #209 as Demon Druid, while he made his debut as Ultimus inWonder Man #7.
The Kree known as Ard-Con was a member of theKree Eternal sub-race created by theCelestials. He with the other Kree Eternals travelled through space, eventually coming across Earth 4000 years ago. The Celts of Earth mistook the Kree Eternals as deities and soon all Kree Eternals left Earth except Ard-Con who stayed on Earth for a millennium, but was then imprisoned by theDeviant Tantalus.[6] He also encounteredOdin once, claiming that his name brought back memories, but also thought that Odin had died. He was then accidentally freed by Thor when the latter usedMjölnir to turn intoDonald Blake. Once free, he started wreaking havoc across the streets and knocked Thor unconscious. He was then apprehended by the British Army and Thor again, but stopped fighting when Thor realized that Ard-Con was trying to reach a portal atStonehenge to leave Earth. After that, Ard-Con successfully departed Earth.[7]
Ard-Con was unable to find his people, so he returned to Earth via a portal created by two tourists and the heroMeggan, who were under the influence of the Eternal.Shadowcat intervened and freed Meggan along with tourists. Ard-Con then broke into Darkmoor Nuclear Research Facility where he recreated a nuclear facsimile to use it at Stonehenge and finally reunite with his people. However, theExcalibur intervened and stoppedCaptain Britain from fighting Ard-Con, while Kitty opened a portal to Ard-Con's people and apologized to him.[8] This proved to be successful, but upon arriving at his home, he was approached by theSupreme Intelligence who informed Ard-Con that he was the last surviving Kree Eternal.[9] Then Ultimus, under the order of the Supremor, joined theStarforce.[10]
He, along with rest of the team, were sent to capture theAvengers, since they had infiltrated Kree-Lar. They were successful in capturing the Avengers, however, the current rulers of the Kree, Ael-Dan and Dar-Benn, decided to execute both teams by locking them into a force field.Deathbird killed the emperors, which allowed the Supreme Intelligence to regain control of the Kree Empire. He then sent the team against theShi'ar as a retaliation against his attempted assassination by the Shi'ar Empire.[11] They teleported into the Shi'ar palace with Ultimus dispatchingEarthquake and attackingLilandra Neramani. However,Starfox distracted Ultimus long enough for Lilandra to strike Ultimus back.[12] After being captured, they were sentenced to death by the Shi'ar, but things became complicated as it was revealed that the Shi'ar counselor Araki was replaced by aSkrull. Ultimus was released by Lilandra under her order to report about the Skrulls' plans.[13] The Starforce was then integrated within theImperial Guards and under the orders of Deathbird they attackedQuasar with his allies for their intrusion in Shi'ar space.[14][15] After the Kree regained their autonomy, all of the Starforce members became defectors.[16]
InWhat If? Avengers Lost the Kree-Shi'ar War, this version of Ultimus fought against the Avengers and the Imperial Guards, but was killed by the Imperial Guard Flashfire.[17]

TheUnspoken is asupervillain appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. He is the cousin ofBlackagar Boltagon (Black Bolt), and was once the king of allInhumans before he was forced into exile. The Unspoken first appeared inThe Mighty Avengers #27 and was created byDan Slott, Khoi Pham, andChristos Gage.
Originally, the Unspoken was a just ruler to the Inhumans. However, fearful that it would corrupt his people, he decided to steal the Slave Engine, his people's greatest weapon, along with the Xerogen Crystals it utilized and buried them somewhere in Tibet. After refusing to reveal the Slave Engine's location, he was then challenged to a duel by the heir to the throne, a young Blackagar Boltagon. Despite being by far the strongest of the Inhumans, moving the Slave Engine had weakened the King which led to his defeat at the hands of Blackagar and his friends. His final stipulation was that his deeds be remembered, but Black Bolt had a crueler fate in mind: the King, his deeds, and the Slave Engine itself, were written out of Inhuman history. From that day on, he would be remembered only as aBogeyman to frighten small children, his name forevermore "unspoken".
He was later recovered by theAlpha Primitives, who cared for their fallen king. Realizing his mistake, the Unspoken plotted to return and reclaim his throne, cultivating the Xerogen Crystals, only forAttilan to rise into the sky. Cheated of his redemption and later learning of the silent war between the Inhumans and United States of America, the Unspoken decided to change his plans and unearth the Slave Engine using it to conquer Earth, by transforming all humans into Alpha Primitives.[33] The Unspoken was defeated when the chronal ray on board the Slave Engine that accelerated the growth of the Xerogen crystals was used against him, aging him to the point where he was too weak to carry on fighting. The heroes then permitted the Alpha Primitives to allow the Unspoken to return to his cave to live out the rest of his days.[34]
The Unspoken is the living embodiment of Terrigenesis itself. He is capable of altering his form in any way he desires, and can give himself a wide number of abilities, such as mass manipulation and energy construct manifestation. To maintain his powers, he needs to absorb Terrigen Crystals.

The Shi'ar lost control of Hecatomb and it pursued Urizen, which it identified as part of itself. DetectingCharles Xavier's psychic energy on Earth, Urizen traveled through space for centuries to reach him, followed by Hecatomb. On Earth, Urizen entered the mind of the comatoseRegan Wyngarde, and remained with her after she regained consciousness and helped defeat theChildren of the Vault. Still hidden, Urizen risked exposure to protect Regan during a subsequent conflict with the villain Pandemic. Regan eventually detected Urizen and expelled it from her mind. Urizen offered to bond with the powerful mutantCable to fight Hecatomb. Suspicious of Urizen's motives, Cable initially refused; he reluctantly agreed only after Hecatomb attacked Earth and proved as powerful as Urizen had warned. Hecatomb was able to separate Urizen from Cable, but not before they used their combined powers to wake the comatoseRogue. Urizen spent its last moments in terror as Hecatomb consumed it. Rogue then arrived and, her powers augmented by Pandemic's "Strain 88" virus, absorbed the 8 billion consciousnesses Hecatomb contained, destroying it. Subsequently, Rogue contained the memories of all those minds, but Urizen and its memories were never specifically mentioned.
