Alien Bat's History

Alien Bat are an alien race that debuted in Return of Ultraman. The first Alien Bat was aiming to conquer both Earth and the Land of Light.

After its citizens learnt of the Life Solidification Device created by Hikari, Planet Bat was the stage for a civil war, with the Planet Bat Federal Army eventually emerging the victor, having carried out a coup d'état that led to them seizing power. Enraged that the Ultras refused to share this technology, the Alien Bat branded them as "traitors" and launched the Ultra Annihilation Project. Before the Alien Bat who would go on to fight Jack arrived on Earth, Zoffy had been sent to stop the alien. The two battled each other for an unknown amount of time, but Alien Bat was victorious, leaving Zoffy critically injured and allowing the malicious being to continue his journey to conquer Earth uninterrupted.

The final alien to attack Earth during Ultraman Jack's time, Alien Bat knew he would have to deal with the Ultra in his conquest of the universe, and to protect himself, he brought Zetton Ⅱ along. Bat's choice of Zetton Ⅱ as his invasion monster was no coincidence, as he was aware that Zetton Ⅱ's species was spoken of with a great degree of infamy on the Land of Light, owing to the fact that the original had brought down and very nearly killed Ultraman, resulting in the monster's species being especially feared. In order to prepare his invasion, Alien Bat kidnapped Rumiko and Jiro Sakata whom were close to Go. He trapped the two inside a baseball stadium and psychologically tortured Go with nightmares of the original Zetton defeating Ultraman, exacerbating Ultraman Jack's phobia of the monster.

Alien Bat soon led Go to the stadium, confronting him and showing him his hostages. As Jack was approaching them, Bat's Zetton began attacking Japan. Go tried to transform, but Jack's fear of Zetton's legacy refused to allow Go to transform. To further mock Jack's cowardice, Bat ordered Zetton Ⅱ to destroy the city he was in, as well as MAT's home base, leaving them both completely destroyed. With their base destroyed, MAT had no choice but to attempt a backup plan by repairing Go's MAT Arrow No. 1, as all the other jets were written off with the destruction of the base.

MAT attacked Bat in his lair, causing the invader to grow into a giant size to join Zetton Ⅱ in his attack. Bat tried to help the fight, but he was forced back by now provoked Ultraman Jack. As Zetton Ⅱ overpowered the Ultra, Bat clipped Jack's knees knocking the Ultra down. Bat and his monster proceeded to tag-team Jack, pummelling him relentlessly. But, Jack managed to use the Ultra Cross after getting an opening in the fight to get back to his feet, impaling Bat through the chest. Mortally wounded, Bat uttered one last sound before toppling over, dead. With Bat no more, Jack could focus his attention on Zetton Ⅱ.

As part of his plot to reinitiate the Ultra Annihilation Project against the Ultra Brothers, a different Alien Bat had been grave-robbing various monsters from the Monster Graveyard. When Ultraman Zero was sent to investigate, Bat unleashed the revived Zetton against Zero and retracted the monster away to replace it with a modified Birdon. To make matters worse, an Anti Ultra Field was placed to weaken Zero, until Zoffy provided the Ultra Converter and the two combine their attacks to destroy Birdon quickly.
