History
Early Life
Little is known of the childhood of Suzy Sherman apart from that she was raised in California but her father Toby Sherman, and her mother.
In her teen years, Suzy was struggling model in Southern California. Since she was rapidly developing muscles and the agencies thought she was too "buff" to be a model. On an audition, Suzy was suddenly attacked by a Sentinel, a left-over minion from Onslaught.
The Sentinel implied that she was actually a mutant Kree-Warrior, though her exact origins are still unclear today. Reporters who saw the fight between Suzy and the Sentinel ran to interview her. During the interview she kept using the term "Ultra", which led to the press dubbing her "Ultra Girl". Suzy began to receive endorsements, and thought that being Ultra Girl was her ticket to stardom, so she and her friends designed a costume from sports apparel she had received from past modeling jobs. One of Suzy's friends, Amber, tried to convince her to abandon the superhero idea, but Ultra Girl was set on it, even fighting against the villain, Effex, alongside the New Warriors[1]. Together the Warriors and Ultra Girl defeated Effex.
After a mission with the Warriors, Ultra Girl learned that Amber was in fact "Ambra", a Kree agent sent to Earth to watch Suzy, whose real name was Tsu-Zana, discovered her friend Amber and other locals were secretly Kree, and that they expected her to serve as a Kree messiah. Ambra also informed Suzy that many of her friends (even her childhood doctor) were Kree. It was said in the Kree writings that Tsu-Zana was to be the Ultimate Unifier, so she could eventually restore glory to the Kree Empire. They asked her to abandon her superhero career, as to not draw attention to the Kree, but she refused.
Some time later, Ultra Girl and Slapstick joined the New Warriors in stopping a Badoon invasion. Afterward both were made members of the Warriors.
Civil War
The distinction of working with the New Warriors came to haunt her, as the Warriors were blamed for an explosion in Stamford which caused the death of hundreds of people, including children. Ultra Girl was one of the New Warriors whose civilian identities were publicly outed on an Anti-New Warriors website. Teaming with the remaining Warriors and She-Hulk, they shut down the website and discovered it was in fact run by former Warrior, Hindsight.
The Stamford disaster led to the Superhuman Registration Act to be passed. Ultra-Girl became a member of Captain America's Secret Avengers. She was among the super-heroes who rescued Captain America during Tony Stark and Steven Rogers' private meeting to make one more attempt at settling their differences. After the end of the war, she decided to comply with the Act.
Post Civil War
Ultra Girl became a tainee of the Initiative at Camp Hammond. Ultra Girl was injured while fighting the forces of HYDRA. She later accompanied Rage, Hardball, Cloud 9, Komodo, Triathlon, Thor Girl, and Slapstick to fight the Hulk[2]. She and Justice started a relationship.
When the other former New Warriors decided to quit the Initiative, Ultra Girl instead returned to Camp Hammond to complete her training. With her Initiative training complete, she and Thor Girl were assigned to Georgia, with Ultra Girl wearing a new costume: Carol Danvers' original Ms. Marvel outfit, given to Suzy by Carol as a graduation present.[3]
Dark Reign
Ultra Girl was ordered to hand over her Ms. Marvel costume, as Norman Osborn has secured the rights to the name and likeness, and was planning to create a new Ms. Marvel.[4] When the deranged Thor clone Ragnarok attacked the Initiative, Justice and Counter Force (then calling themselves "New Warriors") arrived to stop them, and Ultra Girl, wearing her old costume, saved Justice from one of Ragnarok's deadly attacks.[5] When Justice unearthed the original MVP's body, wanting to give it a proper burial, Ultra Girl joined him and his team in leaving the Initiative.[6]
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Ultra-Girl possesses various superhuman attributes as a result of her unique physiology.

Superhuman Speed: Ultra-Girl is capable of running and moving at speeds that are beyond the capability of the finest human athlete.

Superhuman Durability: Ultra-Girl's body is tougher and more resistant to certain types of physical injury than the body of a human. For example, she can withsand impact forces, such as falling from a great height or being struck by a superhumanly strong opponent, that would severely injure or kill a human without being injured.

Flight: Ultra-Girl has the ability to propel herself through the air under her own power. While the limits of her speed aren't known, she is capable of achieving at least the limits of natural winged flight, which is about 150 miles per hour.
