COMIC ART (VILLAINS) - THE WORD & ULTIMA

Jack Wordman spent years working as an editor for a dictionary company where he learned how to use words to get whatever he wanted. With his wife Apothea, he had a daughter named Ultima. Jack eventually began calling himself the Word and formed a cult of loyal followers. Ultima was a figurehead of the cult and she eventually fell in love with cult member Randolph Harrington. When Harrington was trying to leave the cult he enlisted the help of lawyer Jennifer Walters who was also secretly the super-hero known as the She-Hulk. Walter's involvement in Harrington's life made Ultima jealous as she saw Jennifer as a potential rival for Randolph's affections. Eventually Ultima got into a clash with the She-Hulk and when Randolph tried to intervene in the battle, the She-Hulk accidentally dropped a car she was going to throw onto Ultima, paralyzing her. With his daughter now confined to a wheelchair, the Word disbanded his cult so he could care for his daughter. Ultima was one of She-Hulk's earliest enemies. Ultima has peak human strength, endurance, agility, and stamina. Her strength relies on her self-confidence and willpower, amplified by her father's teachings.
