Neutral: Earth Prime

Stepping well outside the scope of the Defenders, I've wanted to include the character Ultraa in my posts about the alignment system from Dungeons & Dragons. An acquaintance of the Justice League of America, Ultraa was the first superhero of Earth Prime (a world where the JLA was mere fiction). Soon after Ultraa's heroic debut, the first supervillain also premiered on Earth Prime. This coincidence led Ultraa to believe that a balancing force was at work in the universe, evening the scales between good and evil. Therefore, the best way to protect his world from super criminals was to give up being a superhero. This seemingly convoluted outlook would fit within an alignment of true Neutral.
  Lawful Good    Neutral Good    Chaotic Good  
  Lawful Neutral    True Neutral    Chaotic Neutral  
  Lawful Evil    Neutral Evil    Chaotic Evil  
Ultraa made his debut in Justice League of America #153 (April 1978).
