- "The Ultimate does not breathe or eat. He has no internal organs and minimal fluids. He is almost solid throughout — nourished by solar energy that he can store for a millennium if necessary. He can survive any environment — destroy any creature. And should the Ultimate find any creature stronger than he — and actually be killed — he will come back to life, evolved into an even more superior being! He is — beautiful!"
