DCU

Perceiving the Justice League of America as a potential threat, Air Force General Wade Eiling recruited four U.S. Marine Corps officers and exposed them to the synthetic isotope Proteum.  The result was the Ultramarine Corps, a metahuman army loyal to the U.S.

The Ultramarines were Lt. Scott Sawyer who donned a customized battlesuit to house his new energy form, as "the human stealth fighter" called Warmaker One; Major Dan Stone, whose physical body transformed into an intelligent, controllable liquid form, earning him the code name Flow; Captain John Wether, who linked with the "unified field harmonic" as the atomic powerhouse called Pulse 8; and Captain Lea Corbin, who, no longer bound to just three dimensions of space, became the virtually impossible to imprison 4-D.

During their mission to eliminate the JLA, the Ultramarines discovered Eiling's true motives.  Dying form an inoperable brain tumor, he created "Tomorrow's Army Today" to recover the imprisoned body of the Shaggy Man (the one foe the League never actually beaten) for his own use.  When the Ultramarines further learned the Proteum was slowly killing them, they sided with the JLA and subdued the General.

Today, the International Ultramarine Corps operates independent of any nation.  Upon founding Superbia, a sovereign "city of tomorrow" floating high above the ruins of what was once Montevideo, it has recruited heroes such as Vixen, the Knight, Jack O'Lantern, Goraiko, and the Squire to support its cause as a first-strike global peacekeeping force.  And if keeping the peace means eliminating those who would make war, that's okay with them.  (JLASFO04)
