Nature
Every Ultra is born wearing a protective layer all over their body. It is aptly named Ultra Armor for that is the function it serves. Each armor protects it owner from harm, being resistant to tear and immune to wear. Almost if not all Ultras are resistant to flames and heat and beams.

An Ultras biggest weakness, at least those from the Showa Universe, is the cold. Because their homeworld has no winter, Ultras never evolved a way to counter cold weather. It is stated that this weakens them because it impares their ability to absorb sunlight, heavily implying, if not stating outright that the Ultra Armor is how they processed sunlight (which was already assumed by fans).
In some Universes Ultras don't share this weakness, while it is universally accepted that Ultras all have the same resistances, with Tiga, Dyna, Gaia and Agul it is stated that they are resistant to low temperatures. The original Ultraman was immune to electrical attacks, a resistance no other Ultra seemed to share with him.

- The name may come from the fact that the Original Ultraman, silver parts were suppose to be space Metal, while the red parts were flesh, similar to Ultraman the Next's appearance.
