Additionally, they can also use the power of Cyber Cards as armaments. At the start of the series, only a single Xio Musketty unit was developed but a second unit was made during Greeza's arrival on Earth, used as a sacrificial bullet against the destroyer. Ultraman X The Movie saw the development of two other units in order for all three Musketty vehicles to participate against Zaigorg and its cohorts. All vehicles are named after the main characters of Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers .

Cyber Cards and Cyber Monsters

The Cyber Monsters (サイバー怪獣, Saibā Kaijū), also known as Cybernetic Monsters (電脳怪獣, Den'nō Kaijū), are artificial monsters stored within the Cyber Cards (サイバーカード, Saibā Kādo) created by Xio out of using Spark Dolls as its main basis. Originally, they were supposed to aid Xio in battling against monster threats but the development was briefly halted due to Cyber Gomora's part. Soon, these cards are utilized by Daichi to initiate MonsArmor, where the Cyber Monster combines with Ultraman X. While most cards usually house Cyber Monsters, but Type U categories instead house copies of Ultramen powers.

It was soon revealed that instead of only being copies to Spark Dolls, Cyber Monsters shares the same consciousness to their Spark Doll templates and materialization process not only requires brainwave synchronization, but also their approval to join their partner. This eventually allows Daichi to finally materializes Cyber Gomora to life. To materialize them, the Cyber Monster's Cyber Cards morph into Spark Dolls and the user "Realize" (リアライズ, Riaraizu) it. However, mental linking with a Cyber Monster can be fatal if used for a long time.

Outside its use as "biological weapons", Cyber Cards can also be used as ammunition in Xio's technologies and arsenal. Several of them were given Limiters (リミッター, Rimittā) within their program due to enormous power.

UNVER

The Ultimate Noxious event Versus Earth Ranger (究極の有害事象に対抗する地球レンジャー, Kyūkyoku no yūgai jishō ni taikō suru chikyū renjā, UNVER) is an organization founded after the Ultra Flare incident. The organization aims to locate, retrieve and secure unstable Spark Dolls for studying. It was established at the time of Ultra Flare when its predecessor team formed an alliance with the crash-landed group of Alien Fantons (Dr. Gourman's race of origin) in Mexico during their trip to outer space after their planet suffered from depletion of food supplies. [2] Soon Xio was founded under its branch and allies with multiple friendly aliens as means of support. Their base of operation is in Geneva which was stated to be the world's biggest Spark Dolls containment facility, with the second place is in Xio Japan. Unfortunately, the base itself was under attacked by Greeza after absorbing all life forms nearby, including the Spark Dolls to assume its second form.

Daisuke Minamikawa

Daisuke Minamikawa (南川 大輔, Minamikawa Daisuke, 6, 7) is the chief of UNVER Japanese Branch, he first appeared after tE-rU accidentally destroyed the city with Rudian.

Eventually, after witnessing tE-rU's contribution when he participated in their plan to attack Gargorgon, Daisuke regains faith in Xio members and commended Kamiki for having a good team to manage. According to writer Hirotoshi Kobayashi, Daisuke is an old colleague of Kamiki and was the one who offered him the Captain position in Xio. [9]

Ultras

Ultraman X

Ultraman X (above) and Ultraman Exceed X (bottom)

Ultraman X (ウルトラマンエックス, Urutoraman Ekkusu) is an Ultra from space who merges with Daichi as his host to combat against monster threats. While not in transformed state, he resides in the X Devizer, communicating with Daichi over time. Fifteen years prior to the series, he was chasing Greeza and defeated him by throwing him into the sun but in the end accidentally triggered the Ultra Flare incident, thus his body trapped in a form of computer data. He sensed a great frequency in Daichi, being the main reason X bonded with him. His finisher attack is Xanadium Ray (ザナディウム光線, Zanadiumu Kōsen), which capable of regressing his opponents to Spark Dolls instead of killing them. [7]

After Ultraman X lost himself in the cyberspace following his defeat by Tsurugi Demaaga, Daichi ventured in and finds a rainbow which grants him the head-mounted Xlugger (エクスラッガー, Ekusuraggā) boomerang blade, allowing X to become Ultraman Exceed X (ウルトラマンエクシードX, Urutoraman Ekushīdo Ekkusu). The Xlugger is stored on his forehead and can be removed when in need. This form as well expels the Dark Thunder Energy that possessed the monsters.

Near the finale series, X revealed himself to Xio after Greeza headed towards Earth, seeking cooperation with Earth Defense Forces to fight him. Later in the fight, his relation to Daichi was revealed as well but with Greeza proven stronger, the two performed a kamikaze attack by letting themselves absorbed into Greeza and self-destructs, leaving X's Color Timer intact. However, he was revived thanks to Daichi's memory him, as well as Asuna whom managed to find the latter when he drifted in the cyberspace. Using the Hybrid Armor, X manages to defeat Greeza once and for all, preventing the Earth from its fated destruction. Despite still trapped as a computer data, X was later accepted into Xio, now being acknowledged as a member.

During the events of Ultraman X The Movie, X was defeated by Zaigorg and the X Devizer took a huge damage, rendering him untransformed for a moment until the appearance of Ultraman Tiga, which was transformed by Yuto healed the device and finally being able to join the battle once more. Joining with the original Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga, X fought against Zaigorg but once the monster captured the former two's energies, X gained Beta Spark Armor which he used to free them and empower the Ultra Warriors from the worldwide to destroy Tsurugi Demaaga before finishing Zaigorg. X separated from Daichi, revealing that throughout the battle he was able to regain his physical body and set his sight to depart from Earth. Before departing, he thanked Xio for their cooperation since the first time they met and reassured to Daichi that they will always stay united. Sometime later, he returned to Daichi after Desastro made its way to the planet.

Thanks to the upgrades installed by Dr. Gourman, Daichi can initiate MonsArmor (モンスアーマー, Monsuāmā) to combine X with Cyber Monsters.

Apart from that, there are also alternatives to the MonsArmors, the Cyber Armor (サイバーアーマー, Saibā Āmā), which serve as copies of past Ultramen's powers:

Ultraman X is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura (中村 悠一, Nakamura Yuichi). [11] His design was made by Masayuki Gotou and was originally themed after Ultraseven but in hopes of invoking an "armor-wearing Ultraman", the original Ultraman's design was incorporated instead, though Ultraseven's design was shelved and reused in Exceed X's Xlugger. In addition to the series' cyberpunk motif, the 1982 science fiction film Tron movie was adapted as well. [12] [13]

Past Heisei Ultras and Ultra hosts

The following characters below are Heisei Ultras from the past series: [7]

Past Showa Ultras and Ultra hosts

Antagonists

Greeza

Void Monster Greeza (虚空怪獣 グリーザ, Kokū Kaijū Gurīza, 1, 4, 21, 22) is the primary antagonist of Ultraman X. Called the mysterious luminescent life form (謎の発光生命体, Nazo no Hakkō Seimei-tai) in the beginning, he is a sentient space void that had destroyed three planets which emitted biological life signs and sets the Solar System as his recent target. However, he was thrown into the sun by Ultraman X, creating the Ultra Flare and set forth the motion of the series. While thought to be dead, Greeza in fact survived his destruction and planned the Dark Thunder Energy (ダークサンダーエナジー, Dāku Sandā Enajī) attack on Earth while slowly recovering his strength, racing towards the Earth and contemplated to absorb the Spark Dolls to strengthen himself before destroying the Earth. Facing the Xio members and X, he battled them and easily overpowered the resistance until X performs a Kamikaze attack, which apparently killed both him and Greeza. However, Greeza survived the explosion and stole all of Xio's Spark Dolls to achieve its final form until X revived as well and with the help of the escaped Spark Dolls, they fused with X and destroyed Greeza once and for all.

Its first and initial form was a spiked ball, later evolved into a more humanoid second form after absorbing the Spark Dolls storage facility in UNVER Nevada Branch, which also allowed it to become a living space distortion. After absorbing Xio's Spark Doll, Greeza entered its final form, which gave it a spike armor and capable of manifesting the Spark Dolls' power for its own use.

She petrifies Ultraman X and demands the Earth to give tE-rU to her in 44 minutes or else the Earth population will receive the same fate. However, refusing to obey to her superiority, Xio and UNVER resurrected X and thus, she was defeated by the Ultra in Bemstar Armor and Rudian. As theorized by Gourman, Gargorgon's arrival on Earth in the past may have inspired the Gorgon from Greek mythology.
