We will present observations of several ultraluminous supernovae discovered at high redshifts by the Harvard/Johns Hopkins team in imaging data from the Medium Deep Survey of Pan-STARRS1. These objects have been found at redshifts in the range 0.5-1.4, with peak absolute magnitudes up to M=-23. We will present photometric and spectroscopic observations which exhibit a diversity of behaviors. While some objects appear to resemble the unusual SCP06F6-like transients, others have novel spectra and spectral energy distributions. We will evaluate several proposed explanations for the extreme luminosities of these objects.
