History

Ultraman Max

One day, an earthquake was detected in the Antarctica, forming several crevasses of ice. Later, a human figure was found but the woman had been revealed to be frozen for 100,000 years.

The person who founded her named the figure Nina instinctively. She was placed at the Base Titan for further investigations. DASH speculated that she is an alien due to her skin not ageing, but Dr. Yukari Yoshinaga's tests all showed human DNA.

A monster named Eraga awakened, moving north. Its growl had awakened Nina at the Base Titan. Back at the base, Nina telepathically lured Kenjiro Koba to her freezer where she escaped and read humanity's memories via his DNA. She hijacked the DASH Alpha as Eraga resurfaced at the Kagamiwa Shore.

Nina lured Koba to her revealing that 100,000 years ago, her kind gave humanity the ability to think and create, but seeing humanity now had made her awaken Eraga and proceed to attempt to destroy humanity, taunting Koba's inability to kill her after telling him of her link to Eraga, as it steadily began to overpower Ultraman Max.

Koba eventually fatally shoots her, allowing Max to kill the monster. Nina vanished into thin air as Koba and the others wondered whether humanity is a failure. ^{Ice Beauty}
