Ultraman Nexus
In Ultraman Nexus, it is shown that analysis of an Ultra's Light can allow one with the proper knowledge and technology to create an artificial version of their Ultra Beam that is just as powerful as the original. This shows that each Ultra has their own unique beam even if they use the same substance such as Ultraman and Ultraman Jack, who despite having the same type of energy, their beams are still slightly different to each other. Ultraseven and his son Zero both use the same type of energy Emerium but while Seven uses the Emerium Beam, Zero uses the Emerium Slash which appears slightly different from his father's beam.
It is known that as Ultras grow older they grow stronger and their inner light and supposedly their Ultra Beams also become stronger with them. Despite their varying levels of powers, different elements etc, even the most basic Ultra Beam can seriously maim and/or destroy the average monster.
Ultraman Mebius
In Ultraman Mebius, the Final Meteor was called the Specium Re-Doublizer and was stated to amplify Specium Ray Energy. The fact that it worked on Mebius' Mebium-Knight Shot and Zoffy's M87 beam, implies that all Ultra Beams are based on Specium Energy.
Ultraman Story 0 Manga
In the Ultraman Story 0 Manga, the Ultras are seemingly all born knowing their signature beams, with the most basic being the Specium ray which the most used by the overall Ultra population. It has been shown that the Ultras do not use their beams at full power which, in the case of Zoffy and Taro, are shown to cause damage of a similar level to a nuclear explosion. Ultraman Jack was able to destroy three monster with his Specium Ray overextending himself in the process. It is unknown how the manga now connects to the TV series but since it was once canon, the situation could be similar for the Ultras from television.
Ultraman Manga
In the Ultraman Manga, bearers of the Ultraman Factor produce Specium Energy within their bodies. It is uncertain how similar to Ultras they are, but seeing as they bear the genes of the original Ultraman, it is possible that he produces this energy within his own body. This would collaborate with the episode of Ultraman Ace, where Ace Killer was absorbing the powers of the previous Ultra Brothers.
The energy he took was the same as their signature beams save Jack, from whom he took his bracelet. It is possible that Ultras convert light energy into the same energy as their beam to use.
