Gary Concord, Ultraman is the son of the original “Ultraman”, a random scientist from the 1950s (which was almost twenty years in the future, when the story was written), who had been in suspended animation and awakens in the 23rd century. It was all because of some “foam”, which made him super smart, strong, etc. Gary’s simple logic and good old American know-how lead him to become ruler of the world- oops, sorry, North America. He even makes the foam that saved his life into a weapon of mass destruction. Essentially, he conquers the world and we’re supposed to cheer him on.

We find this all out in flashbacks. His son, Gary Jr is now the leader of the not-so-free world.

Really. I am not making this up.

Despite sounding like Doctor Doom’s wet dream, Gary is a good guy, in some of the finest heroic tradition:

Ah, the future. Where women know their place and men dress like Drum Majors.
