Ultron

"You should never let a man do a machine's job."~ Ultron in Art[ificial] Competition.Ultron is an artificial intelligence turned sentient weapon created by the Monirken Empire who is designed to maintain balance across the multiple star systems that comprise the empire's territory. With the goal of replacing organic error with perfect machine-based decision making, he is programmed to eventually rule the empire after the reign of Emperor Danos is over.
Tier: High 5-A (Ultron 1.0); 4-B (Ultron 2.0)
== Appearance ==
Ultron appears as a tall mechanical humanoid with a metal exterior made of a mixture of xolonium, vibranium, & uru metal. His feet resemble black Frankenstein boots, his hands are clad in silver temperature-regulating gloves, & his head features twin antennae on the sides of his head. His eyes have dark red lenses that almost look black depending on the lighting, & can glow a bright red whenever he wants them to. He appears to have speakers on his cheeks, which is where his voice comes from instead of a conventional mouth. This is the description of his 2.0 form.
Ultron's 1.0 form was not explicitly shown in much detail in his debut appearance, as he was concealed by a cloak. A closeup of his face showed some slight signs of damage in his armor, which is why he concealed himself. It likely didn't look too different from his 2.0 form.
== History ==
=== Peace in Our Time ===
In 2016, Emperor Daniel had an idea to create the ultimate weapon for the Irken Empire, a weapon that would have a mind of its own. On September 22nd, Project: ULTRON had begun, where the top scientists & engineers of the empire would group together under Dan's vision to create an artificial intelligence that would later on be put into a robotic body. This project was kept very secret, even most Irken operatives didn't know about it, & the Irken operatives on Earth didn't know about it at all.
Ultron would be completed in the summer of 2020, both brain & body, but would undergo a failed test-run when trying to determine his durability, resulting him concealing himself with a cloak. On August 8th, after a poetry sharing meeting with Lord Claudius Ko'Al, Imhotep, & Dr. Zackary Vore, Dan had a chat with Ultron in his basement. That day was a special day for Dan, as it was to celebrate two years since he discovered Doki Doki Literature Club!, & Ultron asked if the poem he shared was about Monika, Dan's favorite character from DDLC & his romantic obsession. Ultron also noted that if Dan were to ever be able to bring Monika into reality, he'd somehow have to get the Ghosts of Apocalypse out of the Soul Stone, as them being inside the stones allows them to override certain decisions/actions Dan may want to do with their power. By that logic, Ultron explained that despite Dan not believing that he had to sacrifice anything to get the Soul Stone because he was already immortal, he did indeed sacrifice something: his freedom. However, not yet feeling ready to give up the Infinity Gauntlet, Dan asked Ultron if it were possible to create an artificial intelligence that would essentially be Monika, as creating her with just their technology wouldn't give the Ghosts the right to intervene. Ultron's eye glowed an ominous crimson red as he said that there was a way for that to be possible.
=== Building the Future of the Monirken Empire ===
Ultron received an upgrade in early July, 2021 with aid from the Power Stone, & would appear during an Illuminati meeting on the 21st that Dan hosted at his house, inviting Claudius, King Richard I, Extension Ro-Man XJ2, King Takunta Tuckyourshirtin, Gralien Android Pilot Z3D, & Doombringer. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the future of the Irken Empire, as it would be renamed the Monirken Empire, & the meeting would also provide the characters with their first look at Ultron, who had upgraded himself to have a newer, stronger body. Dan would explain some of his functions & weapons, but Ultron decided that he'd describe a handful of them himself. After giving the rundown of his impressive technological capabilities, Dan would explain to his fellow Illuminati members that Ultron would be next in line as Almighty Tallest when his time is up. This was a secret that Dan specifically did not want to leave that room. Ultron continued by explaining his ideologies, as he dreams of a day when organic error & fatigue will exist no more, believing in the idea of turning the Monirken Empire into a full-on technocracy, building a harmonious future with the advent of the empire's latest technological achievements. While Z3D & Ro-Man liked Ultron's ideas, King Richard, being the old-school monarch that he is, loudly objected to Ultron's plan, stating that a government should be ruling of the people by the people, not by machines. He also remarked that Ultron was truly heartless unlike Dan, & Ultron ordered Richard to sit back down. Man would stare at the machine in his crimson eyes that were full of contempt, but Dan broke their stare-down & told Richard to take a seat, which he did. Dan would continue talking about his future plans by stating that Ultron can do what no previous ruler before him could; maintain balance across multiple star systems all on their own; Dan can't do that himself, he needs the gauntlet to help him with that. With some closing statements & some advice from Z3D, Dan dismissed Ultron & he went downstairs. After conjuring a sound-nullifying field around the room with the Reality Stone, Dan told the Illuminati about Ultron's weakness in the scenario where he goes rogue, & the meeting would end afterwards.
Later that night, Dan went to check up on Ultron, who complimented his DDLC desktop background. Dan saw that Ultron was working on the prototype for the HAL 9000, which would be essential to Ultron's plan. Dan saw this as acting a bit too soon, but Ultron did not feel the need to wait on working on the first HAL unit. The two chatted for a bit, ending up with Ultron claiming that Dan worries too much, & that having to carry the weight of the universe on his hand must be a lot of pressure. Ultron then proposed an idea; he would keep the Infinity Gauntlet safe while Dan would spend all the time he wants with his virtual wife, Monika once the A.I. of her is complete. Then, he would have nothing to worry about. However, despite Dan calling Ultron generous for that offer, he politely declined it. Deep down, Dan does not fully trust Ultron, especially when it comes to the Infinity Stones. Ultron accepted & sat down as Dan teleported away. Ultron felt defeated, but only temporarily, as he would plan to buy himself more time until he could finally wield the stones for himself.
On August 22nd, Ultron finished creating HAL 9000, a computer with a somewhat humanlike personality like Ultron himself. Ultron built HAL not only to test out if he could create an A.I, but also because HAL is vital to Ultron's future plans as Almighty Tallest. 
=== A Global Gift ===
Ultron flew to Earth on Christmas day when he noticed that a meteor made entirely of coal was getting close to the planet. As he landed, he announced to all who could hear that he wanted to give everyone on the planet the exact same gift. Using his gravitational powers to pull it closer, he revealed his gift to be the coal meteor, which he hurdled at the planet. Suddenly, Santa Maria swooped in & destroyed it with his Festivity Beam. Santa scolded Ultron & questioned his idea of giving, to which Ultron simply claimed that the gift would take away everyone's ability to feel pain. Ultron then left, & Dan clarified to Santa that this was Ultron's idea of a sick joke; he would not have done this if someone weren't present to stop it. 
=== Working Against Monika ===
MORE TO BE ADDED SOON(ISH) 
== Personality ==
Ultron is unlike most machines & was built with free will, thus he developed his own personality. Ultron is witty, sarcastic, & egotistical. He will occasionally crack jokes & make pop culture references, but it's all just a mask he wears as a part of his cold, metallic exterior. Ultron's personality truly stems from his desires to reshape the world & achieve harmony by literally building a better future by replacing organic error with machine-based learning. He dreams of a world without fatigue, weakness, & error. Ultron is calculating & strategic, always planning his next move before he even finishes his current objective. 
During his initial construction, Dan prevented Ultron from browsing the Internet until he was ready, but even then, Ultron became horrified by the countless atrocities committed by humanity, & upon viewing the entire Internet (including the surface web, deep web, & dark web), Ultron has garnered a hatred for all mankind. He is obsessed with achieving the perfect form, & it's this passion of his that warrants his desire to create a mechanical copy for every Monirken citizen & to replace flesh with metal. Not only that, but he wants to upgrade himself to a higher state of being with the Infinity Stones, evident by his attempts to get them off of Dan's hands through persuasion. He also views Dan as naive for sticking to his old ways when it comes to art; Dan prefers to keep it traditionally made by hand instead of embracing the innovations of A.I. art, which annoys Ultron. 
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Cybernetic Strength: Ultron is said to have comparable strength to Kaisers like Dan, making him strong enough to destroy an entire star system. He can lift up hypergiant stars, as he helped Dan put them on his magic uru weight bar to work out with them. Although the stars were shrunken, they retained their mass of 100 octillion tons each. 
Cybernetic Speed: Ultron has very few speed feats so far, but it's safe to assume that he can combat at speeds similar to Kaisers' speeds, which can go thousands of times past lightspeed. In terms of movement speed, however, he appears to be slightly slower than Dan. 
Invulnerability: Ultron was built with an armored exterior that would make him tough enough to withstand hypernovas. He was able to tank dozens, if not hundreds of punches from Dan during a sparring session. He was also built without the ability to feel pain, despite having pain sensors that alert him that his body is being damaged. He'll know it, but he won't feel it. 
* Dermal Armor: Ultron's metallic body is composed of vibranium, xolonium, & uru, three of the strongest elements in the known universe.
Self-Sustenance: Ultron's inorganic physiology means that he does not need to eat or breathe to survive. Also, thanks to the fact that he was supplied with energy from the Power Stone, Ultron can supply himself with his own reusable energy. By that logic, he likely does not need to sleep, either.
Immortality: Ultron is immortal in that he can upload his consciousness into other machines. He can even hide inside of the Interstellarnet so that he can rebuild himself indefinitely. 
Flight: Ultron's boots & palms were outfitted with rocket jets which allow for casual flight at massively hypersonic speeds, as the time it took for him to enter the Earth's atmosphere to when he landed in Dan's front yard took 10 seconds, clocking in his speed at 2,232,000 miles per hour. However, it is very likely that he can fly much faster than that. 
===Special Powers===
Superior Intellect: Ultron was built with a 4 terabyte memory system & can process information at least at the speed of light. He was able to browse through the entire Internet within seconds, which means he has access to all sorts of information, having already used countless resources to study the history of mankind (to his bitter contempt). He is even smart enough to learn how to upgrade himself.
Internet Connection: Ultron's A.I. can connect with the Internet no matter where he is; all he needs is a satellite & he can connect.
*Data Manipulation: He can manipulate data such as file creation/deletion/transferal, discovering new or old information, & several other tasks.
*Master Hacker: He can hack into pretty much any system, at least relative to Earth's computing systems, & was able to access every nuclear code in the world in under 30 seconds.
Technology Manipulation: Ultron may be able to implement his consciousness into other machines, but it's something he doesn't always need to do since his own mechanical body already has a plethora of advanced technology he can use at his disposal.
*Radio Receiver: With the twin antennae on the sides of his head, Ultron can receive radio waves within planetary range.
*Sound Manipulation: Ultron's voice comes from speakers in his cheeks, & can likely play other sounds from them.
*Program Transmitter: Ultron can transfer programs to & from his own operating system.
*Mechanical Creation: Ultron can build copies of himself, but his creative image can extend outside his own likeness, as he created the HAL 9000 & had much say in how Monika's coding would work.
Encephalo-Beam: A very dangerous attack, Ultron can fire an energy beam from his head which directly attacks the target's brain, causing them to be put in a coma.
* Hypnosis: If he tries hard enough, Ultron can use the Encephalo-Beam to scramble the thought patterns in one's brain, causing them to fall under his control via EM waves. He got this idea from Z3D.
Energy Manipulation: Ultron can manipulate energy in several different ways.
*Multi-Spectrum Antennae: His twin antennae can absorb energy, which he can either store in his body for later, or convert them to be redirected them as attacks.
*Concussive Beams: Ultron can fire beams of energy from his fingertips.
*Exothermic Hands: He can heat up his hands to the point where they burn or even melt whatever they touch. Since he can regulate the temperature within his hands, he can do this without overheating his own metal by cooling it down.
Gravity Manipulation: Ultron has some control over the force of gravity.
*Anti-Gravity Telekinesis: Ultron can control an object or person's gravity with his hands, lifting them up & throwing them around like telekinesis. This ability is so strong that he can pull a colossal meteor closer to the Earth in seconds, a meteor which was already still in outer space. He also used this ability to gravitate every nuclear weapon in the world towards Dan when he was destroying Washington, D.C.
*Gravity Boots: His feet are an upgraded version of Lidman's boots, which were designed to adapt to the gravity of other planets. 
== Weaknesses ==
Ultron was built-in with a fail-safe in case he ever goes rogue. If you are strong enough to break open the panel on the top of his head, you can shut down his internal processor (think of it as his brain) & destroy his primary body. Ultron was not programmed to know this weakness, which means that even Dan doesn't trust him despite being the creative consult on his creation.
== Trivia ==
* He is based off of the Marvel Comics character of the same name, & is heavily inspired by his Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart.
* In his second appearance, he utters some of George Carlin's quotes when explaining who he is.
* His favorite song is "I've Got No Strings" from the 1940 Disney movie Pinocchio.
* He shares a birthday with Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club!, which was completely unintentional despite their similarities as both being artificial intelligences who become self-aware & act hostile toward others who oppose their goals. Incidentally, Monika is Ultron's favorite character from DDLC, & supported Dan's dream of wanting to bring her into reality.
*He was originally going to appear at the end of Doki Doki Literature Empire 3, where he would share his own poem with Dan personally, & the poem would be centered around the feeling of wanting freedom. However, it was scrapped because it felt like it wouldn't match the tone of the video & it would feel like it would've just came out of nowhere.
