The Ultra Marines don’t have to be super OP. Their name doesn’t refer to them being “ultra” marines. It stems from their home planet of Ultramar. Basically, you’d get the same result calling them “Earth Marines” or something stupid like that.
 
There are other chapters out there from other legions with other weapons and tactics. But Matt Ward has such a massive hard on for the blueberries that he places an excessive amount of importance on them, to the exclusion of all the other Space Marine legions.
 
This decision pissed off a lot of fans who felt that their own legions and chapters were being insulted. Matt Ward is basically a fanfiction author who got hired on as an official writer for the franchise.

It’s not strictly headcannon. The TTS series explains what is going on in the franchise through a combination of out of character information and in character portrayal. It draws attention to how the Ultra Marines appear to be invincible, which is a satire of how the Ultra Marines are Matt Ward’s favorite chapter and he constantly writes them up to be the best.
 
There are also many other plot points and lore friendly material in TTS that is presented in a comedic fashion, but is still accurate to the source material.

With that pathetic excuse for armor, she wouldn’t last 3 minutes in Slaanesh’s realm!
