Ultraman Gaia (ウルトラマンガイア Urutoraman Gaia?) is the third Ultra being of Tsuburaya Productions' First Heisei Wave, created by after the 15-year long hiatus of the Ultraman franchise. He is the successor of Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Dyna and is more powerful than either. In his primary Version 1 form, he cannot transform like the previous two Ultramen. Later, he gained both Version 2 and Supreme Version from Ultraman Agul's light.
