Dada(ダダ, Dada) are aliens that attacked Earth and started abducting humans to advance some form of research. The original agent was killed by Ultraman. The only other Dada to attack Earth was a computer Virus bearing the same name. The members of this race are referred to by their registration number and class, rather then possessing given names.
Subtitle: Three Faces Phantom (三面怪人, Sanmen Kaijin)
The Dada race was in need of 6 human specimens for unknown reasons. The leader sent the best agent to do the task, Agent #271 to Earth. Dada decided the best place to search for specimens was a japanese science lab. In order to keep out outside humans, specifically, The Science Patrol, Dada set up many traps. This actually drew attention rather than prevent it. Captain Mura and Ide were on a bus that was driving on a mountain road when, the bus fell off. Nobody was killed, fortunately. Ide was sent to hosital when, a man crawled but, was taken inside the building by nurses. He told a story that, one day Dada was hunting the scientist in the lab. He tried to escape but, the alien could phase through walls. The man barely survived by running into the emergency room, just out of luck. Dadas can't phase through the room because, it's made of a special shielded alloy. Captain Mura and the woman that survived the crash went to the lab. One of the scientist was possesed by the Dada. The Dada went after the two when, Mura managed to contact Hayata. He became the ultra from M78, Ultraman! The Dada's commander contacted him and told him, Ultraman was coming towards his position. Dada grew to a giant size. After a long conflict with Ultraman, Ultraman shot his Specium Ray at Dada's head, the alien was not destroyed yet. Luckily, he teleported back to the lab where, his commander told him to get Mura and the lady or Specimens 5&6. Dada chased them to the top of the lab when, both of them fell off. Ultraman saved them fortunately. Dada shot his lazer at the utra when he jumped to human size while, Dada was giant! Ultraman grew giant again and chased Dada in the sky. The three faced alien was finally shot down by Ultraman's Specium Ray after being exposed to Ultraman's Flouroscope Ray twice. Agent #271 failed.

Powered Dada
Dada reappeared in episode 8 of the series Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, as Powered Dada(パワードダダ, Pawādo Dada).
Unlike the original Dada's appearance, This version of Dada appeared to have been a Computer Virus come alive as it absorbs human essence as his own and originally was discovered and existed inside of a computer inside an apartment. As WINR investigates, they are all paralyzed by a swarm of sentient Dadas that electrocute them. Kai transforms into Ultraman Powered as the Dadas merge into a giant form. At first it seems Dada has the advantage with his electrically based powers and his telekinetic powers at his side, but Powered eventually wins by overloading Dada's power source (a nearby Power Plant) causing Dada to explode. However, the ending of the episode still hints that there still lurks more Dada's inside the computer system.
Trivia
This Dada was slightly larger than Ultraman Powered, his head was larger than his body, and the hands and feet were large too. Due to this, they stuck out in front of the Dada through out most of the fight and he hardly walked.
