History ComicBook / UltraForce

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Kevin Green (Prime's true self), being a teenager and a student, was actually showing going to school in some episodes:

** The episode "Pump It Up!" is a loose adapation of the aforementioned Ghoul-focused single issue: he investigates the death of a musician of Ultra powers. In the episode, the musician is indeed an Ultra, but his potential is amplified by a magic guitar given by Lord Pumpkin, who was not part of the original issue.

** To the males, Prime's reversion to his kid self has him clothed, bypassing the problems of "borrowing" clothes whenever he destransformed (which happened in his solo book).

* AdaptationExpansion: Since the ''Ultraforce'' comic at the time had aonly a full story arc (issues #0-6) and a one off story featureing Ghoul (issue #7), and the rest of the run (issues #8-10) involved preparing for the "Black September" event, the series had to bring in events from other Malibu series. To wit:

%% * {{Matriarchy}}: Topaz's world isn't seen, but seems to be this due to her attitude.

* CompressedAdaptation: The first three episodes were a fairly faithful adaptation of the comic's first arc (with the Invasion of the Fire People), which took up ''seven'' parts. However, some of the arc's elements had to be condensed to fit a 3-part, 23-minute TV episode.

* AnimatedAdaptation: Creator/DiCEntertainment made a 13 episode cartoon series in 1994.

* FiveManBand: The main heroes could be seen as this:
** TheLeader - Hardcase is the most experienced member of the team and generally calls the shots.
** TheLancer - Topaz is an impeccable warrior but more hotheaded and impulsive compared to Hardcase.
** TheBigGuy - Prime is this as the strongest member of the group
** TheSmartGuy - Ghoul’s powers are more geared towards information gathering than combat
** TheChick - Contrary rarely takes the field and is her powers are based around influencing others than fighting threats head-on.
** SixthRanger - Prototypes suit gives him the versatility and power to provide backup in numerous situations.

%% * FlyingBrick: Prime is a classic Flying Brick whose twist is that he's really a skinny thirteen-year-old who generates a mass of pseudo-organic tissue around himself to appear as a muscular adult. Basically, he's ''Captain Marvel'', but DarkerAndEdgier. Another twist: his superpowered form's appearance is based on his idea of what a hero should be like. His first form looked like a standard Cape. After a run of bad luck and encounters with various antiheroes, his Prime form took a DarkerAndEdgier appearance. After regaining some of his original idealism tempered with maturity, his third and final form looks like a mix of the previous two though it looks more like the first one. All of his forms also have a face that strongly resembles his father.

* ScaryScarecrows: Lord Pumpkin is a scarecrow with a [[PumpkinPerson pumpkin head]] and a magic candle inside who hails from another dimension called Godwheel. He was created by the court magician to be the prince's playmate. The sadistic prince tormented him until Pumpkin retaliated with murder. Then he staged a coup, took over the throne, grew bored, and came to Earth to be a mob boss. Lord Pumpkin ended up killed a few times, but as long as a seed from his pumpkin head survives, he can be reborn, although he needs his candle to be complete. Some rebirths leave him a PlantPerson, while at other times he manages to gain a scarecrow's straw body again.

* ScaryScarecrows: Lord Pumpkin

* FlyingBrick: Prime
