Heh.  I've gotten the impression that the Ultimate Ninja is embraced to 
his cause yet willing to bend it, as witness his striped outerwear.  I 
have inferred he is stern but understanding, at least of people who 
share his cause.  Therefore in my own stories, I made him the 
*Principal* of Legion of Net.ropolis High School - among Powernauts.

I recall the original story wherein the Ultimate Ninja was dispatched to 
the Real World to beat people up.  This seems to fit a principle he 
shares with Powernauts:  Defeat Evil!  The only reason Powernauts aren't 
punching Trumpists right now is, they were able to build a better 
universe.  It remains to be seen if they care about what they left behind.

The soldiers presented a pathetic but inspiring spectacle. The
hospitals were crowded with sick and wounded; the walls were
gradually crumbling under incessant shell fire, yet that garrison
of heroes remained undaunted.

It was as Buck said, "just as if they had been Americans."
