We briefly describe some of the recent X-ray results on ultrasoft narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. These galaxies have strong and hot soft X-ray excess components, and many of them show extremely rapid, large-amplitude and nonlinear X-ray variability. They lie toward one extreme of the Boroson & Green (1992) primary eigenvector, suggesting that they have extremal values of a primary physical parameter such as the fraction of the Eddington rate at which the supermassive black hole is accreting. We provide an update of the results on the >2 keV X-ray continua of these galaxies.
