Ursa Major (real name Mikhail Uriokovitch Ursus) is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Comics universe, and a former member of the Soviet Super-Soldiers.

He can, at will, turn himself into a bear-like creature, more anthropomorphic than an ordinary ursine. In this form he possesses super-strength while retaining his human intelligence and speech, although his behavior and personality become more beast-like.

He is one of the few mutants in the world to retain their powers after Decimation.
