: "So much could go wrong.""Ultron, yes, I know. But this is not AI. AI is banned and that's good; this is mimicry of human behavior."
: ―Leo Fitz and Holden Radcliffe[src]
A Life-Model Decoy, or LMD, is an android designed to replicate every feature of a living person. They were originally designed by S.H.I.E.L.D. to be distractions and life-saving substitutes of their agents. The program was later reactivated and used to help the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to fight Malachi and his Chronicoms.

== History ==
=== Original Program ===
: "You have reached the Life-Model Decoy of Tony Stark; please leave a message."
: ―Tony Stark[src]
Billy and Sam Koenig participated in the original Life-Model Decoy Program of S.H.I.E.L.D. as programmers and technicians. However, despite their efforts, they never managed to create a fully functional android, so the project was eventually abandoned by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Tony Stark was evidently aware of the project as he jokingly purported himself to be his own Life-Model Decoy, analogous to an answering machine, to Phil Coulson when he arrived at Stark Tower to collect Stark for the Avengers Initiative in light of the destruction of Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S.
=== Updated Program ===
: "The hope is that I will be able to prevent future tragedies, save the lives of agents by putting myself in harm's way in their place.""To kill?""No. I am incapable of that. I will protect. I will serve as a decoy target, a safeguard... A shield."
: ―Aida and Leo Fitz[src]
Holden Radcliffe created a body for the artificial intelligence that served as his assistant, Aida, based on the old S.H.I.E.L.D. program, believing that it would prevent the deaths that Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, of whom he had grown fond, had to witness. Aida was programmed as a decoy target for agents. Her skills at being a decoy were proved while fighting Eli Morrow when she was shot twice in the chest.
Aida also created an LMD of Agent Melinda May, which took the place of the real one. As part of her mission, the May LMD interacted with her fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. and assisted in defeating Eli Morrow before returning to the Playground where she continued flirting with Phil Coulson, much like the real May. However, this May LMD soon found herself discovering her true robotic nature, much to her great horror as she was unaware that she was an LMD. May eventually learned that her true mission was in fact to steal the Darkhold from S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to return it to Radcliffe.
Aware that his deception would soon be discovered as Aida had tried and failed to take the Darkhold for him, Radcliffe also created an LMD of himself, which he allowed to be captured while he made a deal with Ellen Nadeer and the Superior. While being questioned however, Radcliffe's LMD was soon discovered by Leo Fitz who proceeded to shoot it in the head. Fitz questioned the LMD about Radcliffe's true location, eventually discovering the machine's Quantum Brain. Unable to get the information and unwilling to risk the damage it could do, the Radcliffe LMD was ultimately destroyed along with the original Aida body, with them both being burnt to ashes to avoid the risk of them being repaired.
=== Siege of the Playground ===
: "We need to scan and replace those last two immediately.""Carefully, undetected. We're still outnumbered here.""Not for long, in the meantime Daisy will contact the Inhumans, inform them she's coming to collect them personally?""Yes, and then execute them on sight."
: ―Jeffrey Mace LMD and Phil Coulson LMD[src]
During the rescue of Jeffrey Mace who had been captured and tortured by the Superior, the elusive leader of the Watchdogs, the key agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were captured by Aida who was able to send in the LMDs of Phil Coulson, Jeffrey Mace, Alphonso Mackenzie and Leo Fitz to dismantle S.H.I.E.L.D. from the inside. While Mackenzie, Mace and Coulson's LMDs focused on killing Inhumans, the Fitz LMD attempted to take control of Jemma Simmons, however he failed and was destroyed, forcing the remaining machines to change their mission tactics.
However, before long, Daisy Johnson discovered her own fleet of Daisy Johnson LMDs and joined forces with Simmons to fight back. In the resulting battle, the Mace and Mackenzie LMDs were both destroyed by Quake. As a final plan, Coulson sent the Melinda May LMD to threaten the agents with a bomb, however the May LMD chose instead to rejoin S.H.I.E.L.D. and self-destructed, destroying the Coulson and Fitz robots in an explosion which also destroyed much of the Playground. The army of LMD of Johnson had survived at the explosion and all escaped.
Aida also built a robotic body for Anton Ivanov, leader of Watchdogs whose body had been damaged beyond repair while fighting against Quake, with his head being persevered and in full control of the robotic body. Aida later built for Ivanov several bodies and eventually managed to become a real human being. In the final battle against S.H.I.E.L.D., several LMDs of Anton Ivanov were destroyed by Phil Coulson, Melinda May, an Aida heartbroken by Fitz and Ghost Rider, but the real Ivanov escaped. One Daisy LMD was been destroyed by Ghost Rider, forcing Aida to flee. All Sergei Mishkin LMDs were destroyed by Ghost Rider.
A LMD of Jemma Simmons was created to trick Aida and make her believe that she had killed the real Simmons to make Fitz suffer when she actually destroyed the android. Aida was finally killed by Phil Coulson briefly possessed by the Spirit of Vengeance, leaving Anton Ivanov and the rest of the Daisy Fleet as the only surviving LMDs.
=== Deactivation ===
: "Speaking of faces, how come your robo-warriors don't have any?""They are merely soldiers. Tools for battle.""Interesting. 'Cause, see, I think, when you lost your partner Aida, you lost the ability to make convincing LMDs."
: ―Phil Coulson and Anton Ivanov[src]
Due to the death of Aida and the disappearance of the Darkhold, Anton Ivanov became unable to create more LMDs, being only able to build Sleeper Mechs, android bodies without human faces. In the end, Ivanov was destroyed by Yo-Yo Rodriguez, which caused the deactivation of the Sleeper Mechs. Without Aida or Ivanov, the rest of Daisy Fleet remain inactive meaning apparently the end of LMDS.
=== Chronicom Advanced LMD ===
: "He has all of his own memories and has been upgraded with complete knowledge of everything he's missed. He has Chronicom hardware, which makes him our most advanced LMD. And there is no better person to be your right hand, sir."
: ―Jemma Simmons to Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
The LMD program was reactivated by Enoch, Leo Fitz, and Jemma Simmons, who created an LMD of Phil Coulson to help S.H.I.E.L.D. to fight the Chronicom Hunters, serving as the team historian. Coulson was activated without Director Alphonso Mackenzie's permission, and became overwhelmed with the missing two of years of information that was given to him. Mackenzie shut him down, and later decided to allow Coulson to be activated, so long as it was what he wanted. Coulson agreed and became the team's S.H.I.E.L.D. historian, using the real Coulson's knowledge of S.H.I.E.L.D. history to help them on their mission.
When Simmons promised to give Piper whatever she wanted for protecting her daughter, Piper asked her to bring James Davis back as an LMD, as Simmons did the same for Coulson. Simmons followed through with the request, resurrecting Davis' mind and putting it into another advanced LMD that had been created. Once Davis was activated, he continued to serve with S.H.I.E.L.D..
== Powers ==
* Android Physiology: LMD's physiology are superior than a normal human being. LMD's can also process a quadrillion functions per second, making them much smarter than a biological human brain can process, but they could be on par with brains like Fitz-Simmons'.
** Enhanced Strength: LMD's have some degree of enhanced strength. This was shown by most LMD's, Aida was able to kill a human by snapping their neck with a single hand, as well as lift and pin Melinda May against a wall with one hand as well. Aida was also able to punch through a man's stomach while protecting Holden Radcliffe.
** Enhanced Durability: LMD's have some degree of enhanced durability, the superior's LMD was able to withstand multiple gunshots to the chest without any significant damage, this level of durability has been shown in most LMD's. However, they were vulnerable, if there were delicate ones in which his enemies could take advantage of them or if they were close to the fire, as they burned to ashes in contact with it.
** Longevity: All Life-Model Decoy were created to last much longer than any other android and humans who become that type of android lose their ability to age, being trapped for eternity at the age they died and their own life can last for many thousands of years. They are also immune to biological diseases, although they are susceptible to computer viruses.
|-|Chronicom=
: "We observe and guide events, occasionally with violence. We do not engage in conflict."
: ―Atarah[src]
The Chronicoms are an extremely advanced and ancient race of synthetic, semi-robotic beings that operate in the galaxy as observers. There are different types of Chronicoms, designed for different jobs or purposes.

== History ==
=== Star Gazing ===
: "I was sent here 30,000 years ago to observe and record the evolution of your species. What you would call an anthropologist. My Earth name is Enoch, I'm a sentient Chronicom from a planet which revolves around a star in the constellation you know as Cygnus."
: ―Enoch[src]
The Chronicoms originated from Chronyca-2. After the development of interstellar transportation, they began exploring the galaxy, obtaining knowledge about other sentient races. Two chronicom scientists were sent to primitive planet Earth, where the humans were developing, and monitored their evolution for millennia, assuming the identities of Enoch and Noah.
=== Extinction-Level Event ===
: "Our protocol allows for one exception; the prevention of an extinction-level event."
: ―Enoch to Leo Fitz[src]
The Chronicoms had a strict code of not interfering with the natural course of life on the planet they were observing, and would never interfere unless there was an extinction level event.
=== Losing their Home ===
The Chronicoms' homeworld, Chronyca-2, was invaded by Izel when she was searching for the Di'Allas and proceeded to infect the planet. They, under Atarah's leadership, tried to stop the Shrike, but failed and the planet was destroyed. The Confederacy arrived to pillage the remains of the planet, but the Chronicoms fought back and defeated them. Atarah and the surviving Chronicom Hunters then seized their Confederate Warships and decided to find S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist Leo Fitz to make them a time machine to save Chronyca-2.
=== Establishing Chronyca-3 on Earth ===

=== Physiology ===
: "How are you not eaten by those things?""They have no interest in me, as I have no tender insides for them to extract.""Thought Fitz was done building robots.""I am not a robot."
: ―Melinda May and Enoch[src]
While they physically resemble humans, Chronicoms do not have gender or inner organs, and are composed mainly of plastic alloy. The Chronicoms are powered by a Electrochron Displacement Mechanism, which is analog to a human heart, and possess other cybernetic components. They do not naturally die unless the Electrochron Displacement Mechanism is removed. They are also are identified as humans by scanners.
=== Society ===
There are different types of Chronicoms, including anthropologists, who study life on different planets; hunters, who are skilled in battle, and are tasked with enforcing the natural order of the universe; and predictors, which predict how changes in the timeline will affect history. Any type of Chronicom can be reassigned and reprogrammed by their superiors at a moment's notice to fulfill another role.

== Trivia ==
* The Chronicoms are similar to the Watchers in the comics, sharing the habit of overseeing and studying less advanced races without interfering in the natural course of their history. They also recall the Rigellian Recorders as artificial beings studying the progress of sentient species across the universe.
* Chronicoms are named after biblical figures; the only exception is Sibyl, who is named after the oracles of Greco-Roman myth.
|-|Eternals=
: "We're Eternals, from a planet called Olympia. We came here seven thousand years ago on the Domo, our starship, to protect humans from the Deviants."
: ―Sersi to Dane Whitman[src]
The Eternals are a race of near-immortal synthetic beings created by the Celestials. They were sent to multiple planets to protect and help evolve sentient lifeforms to power a Celestial seed inside the planet, which would absorb the energy made from the sentient lifeforms. Ten of these Eternals arrived on Earth during the Stone Age to protect humanity from the Deviants.

== History ==
=== Creation's Purpose ===
: "I built and programmed you, Eternals, to be synthetic beings and incapable of evolution to correct my mistake."
: ―Arishem the Judge to Sersi[src]
The Eternals were built and programmed by the Prime Celestial Arishem the Judge at the World Forge. They were sent to numerous planets with implanted Celestial seeds, with orders to protect and help evolve sentient lifeforms which power the growing Celestial within their worlds. Eventually the Emergence would occur, destroying the seeded worlds and the lifeforms within.
Upon finishing their mission, the Eternals would be returned to the World Forge to have their memories erased and reset, then sent to another world to start the cycle all over again. They would be given false memories of being from a planet called Olympia, on a mission to watch over developing worlds, and they would be prohibited from interfering with the natives' conflicts unless Deviants are involved. The leader of a team was designated the Prime Eternal, and possessed the means to directly talk with their creator.
=== Centuri-Six's Emergence ===
: "She thinks she used to live there until it was destroyed. Always talks about massive quakes ripping it apart. Everyone died including herself."
: ―Gilgamesh to Sersi[src]
The Eternals shepherded the Emergence of a Celestial on the planet Centuri-Six many millennia ago. According to Thena's fragmented recollection of the event, they all died with the world, only to be rebuilt at the World Forge. However, Thena's mind was not properly erased, which would have repercussions for her team on their eventual mission to Earth.
=== Tiamut's Emergence ===
==== Arriving on Earth ====
In 5000 B.C. Arishem sent ten Eternals, consisting of Ajak, Sersi, Ikaris, Thena, Kingo, Sprite, Phastos, Makkari, Druig, and Gilgamesh, to Earth. During their arrival at Mesopotamia, they protected a tribe of humans from a pack of Deviants. Emerging victorious, the Eternals introduced themselves to the colony, starting a largely peaceful coexistence that lasted for millennia.
==== Guiding Humanity ====
: "Humanity may be coming along slower than some of us want, but there's no telling what wonders they will discover as they advance."
: ―Ajak[src]
The Eternals influenced numerous ancient cultures in their wake. They had some involvement in the Stonehenge, Australian Aboriginal art, Jomon period Japan, Ancient Egypt, Hindu mythology, Greek civilization, Mesoamerican cultures, and Southeast Asian myths. Some of their battles with Deviants would be distorted over time and represented in art in more familiar forms, such as "angels" or "knights" fighting "dragons", "griffins", or other mythological beasts. While at peace they sometimes helped the humans in more mundane tasks like house building or irrigation, or nurtured their creativity through storytelling and occasional gifts of technology.
In 575 B.C the Eternals repelled a Deviant threat to the city of Babylon. In the aftermath, Ajak reported on humanity's progress to Arishem, who warned her not to get too attached when she began seeing their potential. Phastos attempted to introduce the steam engine to humans, though the other Eternals deemed it too soon for humanity's current technological state. Phastos then settled for introducing the plow, which would prove more immediately useful around the city.
During the celebrations after the defeat of Deviants near the Ishtar Gate, Sprite heavily embellished Gilgamesh's involvement to an audience of attentive listeners, forming the basis of the myths that made him legendary.
Over time the Eternals developed certain relationships with each other while doing their duty as humanity's protectors against Deviants. In 400 AD, Sersi and Ikaris married each other during the Gupta Empire in India, with their brethren all in attendance. Gilgamesh and Thena frequently partnered in slaying Deviants, with Gilgamesh's brute strength and Thena's finesse synergizing effectively. Druig and Makkari had a flirtatious rapport with each other since Babylonian times, though this would not be realized by the others until millennia later.
The Eternals were also aware of extraterrestrial involvement in Earth's affairs and crossed paths with several factions when necessary. In 965 AD, the Eternals participated in the Battle of Tønsberg at Norway, siding with the Asgardians when the Frost Giants invaded. With the Asgardians victorious, Odin presented Gilgamesh with a secret brew recipe as a reward.
==== The 500-Year War ====
The Eternals resided in the Domo up until the early 16th century. In the five centuries prior they engaged Deviants in 1084 CE Heian-kyō, 1142 CE Korea, 1238 CE reconquista Spain, 1520 CE Atlantic Ocean, and Ming Dynasty China. Compared to normal clashes, the Eternals fought Deviants in those places that were more intelligent and were capable of strategizing. It turned out the Deviants were hunting the Eternals themselves, not just the humans, and had begun replicating the Eternals' ability to use cosmic energy.
The team found a Deviant nest in a remote part of China, where they fought against a coordinated strike led by a "kappa" Deviant that learned to mimic Druig's mind control powers. The team responded with a counterattack of their own, which resulted in Thena dealing the killing blow against the kappa. Due to the Deviants' hive mind they all collapsed upon the kappa's death, granting victory yet again for the Eternals.
==== Druig's Departure ====
: "Could our mission have been a mistake? Are we really helping these people build a better world? We're just like the soldiers down there. Pawns to their leaders, blinded by loyalty. It ends now."
: ―Druig[src]
In 1521 AD the Eternals vanquished a Deviant threat around Tenochtitlan, and they believed they eliminated the Deviants around the planet. However, at the time there was an ongoing genocide between conquistadors and the natives. The violence triggered memories of death and destruction within Thena, causing her to attack her brethren. She managed to wound Sersi, Makkari, Phastos, and Ajak before Gilgamesh was able to subdue her.
Regrouping to a temple in the city, the other Eternals realized Thena has Mahd Wy'ry, which they thought to be a myth. Ajak offered to erase Thena's memories to cure her, though Thena declined. Druig, fed up with repeated admonitions against using his powers to interfere with human conflicts, began to force the warring factions outside to drop their weapons, swearing the other Eternals would have to kill him to make him stop. Ikaris would have done so, had Ajak not stopped him.
With this, Druig departed the Eternals and the city with his mind-controlled humans. With the Deviants eradicated, Ajak advised the others to go as well, wanting them to live a life for themselves among the humans. Gilgamesh pledged to take care of Thena in exchange for letting her keep her memories.
==== Living Amongst Humans ====
As the centuries passed by and humanity progressed, the Eternals faded to myth as they adjusted to living anonymously among the masses. They began wearing period-appropriate clothing in lieu of their otherworldly armor. Sprite and Kingo stayed for a time in Macedonia, though the latter abandoned the former there. They had to move every 5 years or people would realize Sprite never aged, and Kingo became sick of that. Kingo eventually settled in India, where he masqueraded his immortality by presenting himself as a Bollywood actor (and his forebears) for five generations. Gilgamesh and Thena made a home in the Australian Outback, where Thena's outbursts would do minimal harm to anyone.
Ikaris and Sersi lived together until the 1920s, when Ikaris abandoned his wife. Ajak wandered the world, though she eventually erected a homestead in South Dakota, USA. Sprite resided with Ajak there for a while, before going to London to live with Sersi after Ikaris' departure. Sersi eventually moved on and began a relationship with a human named Dane Whitman. Phastos married and had a family in Chicago.
Druig isolated himself and his mind-controlled humans in the Amazon for 20 human generations. Makkari went back to the Domo in Iraq, living there alone amongst her hoarded historical artifacts, waiting for the time the Eternals were allowed to go home.
==== Ajak's Death ====
: "When the others realise something is happening to the Earth, they will come to you. When they find your body, they will know that the Deviants are back. That will keep them busy until the Emergence."
: ―Ikaris to Ajak[src]
In 2023, after the Blip, Ikaris visited Ajak in her homestead to discuss Earth's impending Emergence. With only about 7 days remaining, Ajak announced her intention to gather the other Eternals to plan how to stop the Emergence. In all her millions of years of existence she has become impressed with humanity's feat reversing the Snap, enough to defy Arishem's mandate for this one world. Ikaris seemingly supported her stance, then flew her to Alaska, where a pack of Deviants thawed out of the ice due to the Earth's core heating up.
Ikaris, who had learned of the Eternals' true mission after they left Babylon, was unwilling to contradict his reason for being. Remorsefully he pushed Ajak onto the Deviant pack and let her be killed by the beasts. After the Deviants' leader Kro absorbed her energies, Ikaris flew Ajak's corpse back to her home, intending to delay the others by making them focus on the Deviant threat rather than the Emergence.
==== Return of the Deviants ====
Sprite, Sersi, and Dane were attacked by Kro in London, only to be rescued by Ikaris. With the Deviants apparently returned, Sersi confessed her real identity to Dane, who mistakenly thought she was a wizard, before leaving him in London to go with Sprite and Ikaris to Ajak to determine their next moves. Upon discovering Ajak's corpse, the Celestial Communication Sphere Ajak used to confer with Arishem rose out of her body and into Sersi, designating her as the next Prime Eternal.
==== Reuniting ====
: "You hear that, Sprite? Family reunion.""It's about time."
: ―Ikaris and Sprite[src]
Ikaris, Sersi, and Sprite then traveled to Mumbai to apprise Kingo of the recent news. Kingo and his valet Karun Patel joined the trio, then transported the group to Australia in Kingo's Jet in order to gather Gilgamesh and Thena.
After getting a better handle on controlling the communication sphere, Sersi managed to converse with Arishem at length, where she learned about the Emergence, the Eternals' true nature as synthetic beings, and the Deviants' origin. Sharing her discoveries with the others, they then resolved to continue reuniting the rest of the Eternals.
Going to Druig's Compound next, Sersi and the others wanted his ability to control minds as a possible means of delaying the Emergence, by trying to put Tiamut the Communicator back to sleep. Druig was initially resistant to the idea in light of the other reveals, though Deviants attacked the compound shortly afterward. Most of the beasts were killed, though Gilgamesh also died and his powers were absorbed by Kro. Following a funeral for the fallen Eternal, Druig became more amenable to the plan, and Sersi suggested they need Phastos next for his intellect.
Phastos had become disillusioned with humans after the atomic destruction in Hiroshima, though over 70 years later he rekindled his passions by having a family and seeing the best of humanity in them. Sersi and Ikaris visited Phastos in Chicago, though he didn't want to leave his family behind even while the world was ending. He was persuaded by his husband Ben Stoss to go save the world for their son Jack's sake.
The mostly assembled Eternals then traveled to Iraq to unearth the Domo which they left buried under Babylon for millennia. To their surprise Makkari was already inside, bored and waiting to go back to Olympia.
==== Stopping Tiamut's Emergence ====
: "We have no right to stop the birth of a Celestial.""There has to be a way Tiamut can emerge without destroying the Earth. We just have to delay it until we figure out how."
: ―Kingo and Sersi[src]
With all extant Eternals gathered, the plan to stop the Emergence was afoot. Using the ship's lab Phastos was able to conceptualize a way to boost an Eternal's abilities by having the others pool their powers into the individual, calling it the Uni-Mind. He wasn't finished yet and was in the middle of figuring out the specifics when Ikaris finally interfered and stopped him from progressing. Sersi realized Ikaris' complicity in Ajak's death, and Ikaris admitted it wasn't easy to keep lying to the group knowing the world would end.
An ideological split developed between the Eternals. Ikaris wanted the Emergence to continue because that was his Arishem-given reason for being. Sprite followed Ikaris because she nursed centuries-long unrequited feelings for him. Kingo believed in the Emergence's contribution to the greater good, but was unwilling to hurt his family over it. Ikaris and Sprite left the Domo to await the others at the Emergence point that Makkari discovered, and Kingo left the ship with Karun aiming to abstain from the coming fight.
Phastos realized he could use Sersi's communication sphere to link the Eternals together, and used its materials to fashion bracelets for the remaining Eternals. They then proceeded to the Emergence point in the Indian Ocean, planning to have Druig initiate the Uni-Mind. Druig was initially successful in calming Tiamut down, though Ikaris flew in, gave him a beating, and attacked the Domo, causing it to crash. With Druig out of commission, Sersi then volunteered to use her powers instead, though doing so will kill the Celestial. Sprite attempted to stop her from reaching an optimal vantage point, though she was shortly knocked down by an injured Druig.
Meanwhile, Ikaris fought an enraged Makkari, then Phastos and Thena. Kro emerged from the ocean to engage in the fight, later goading Thena to face him alone. He nearly managed to absorb her powers by taking advantage of her Mahd Wy'ry, though Thena became lucid in time to generate weapons and slice him up.
Phastos manifested restraints that blocked Ikaris from accessing much of his powers while Sersi executed the plan. Druig could no longer put Tiamut to sleep in his condition, so Sersi began transmuting Tiamut to stone. Ikaris broke out of the restraints and flew to Sersi aiming to kill her, but he was unable to do it to his former wife. A Uni-Mind was initiated among the Eternals, even with Sprite, Ikaris, and Tiamut himself, thus Sersi was able to transform the entire Celestial to stone.
Ikaris was unable to deal with failing both the Eternals and Arishem, and flew himself to the sun to commit suicide. Sersi had some energy left from the Uni-Mind, and offered to turn Sprite into a regular human, which she readily accepted.
==== Arishem's Judgment ====
: "You have chosen to sacrifice a Celestial for the people of this planet. I will spare them, but your memories will show me ff they are worthy to live. And I will return for judgement."
: ―Arishem the Judge[src]
Two weeks after the death of Tiamut, the remaining Eternals split into two groups: Kingo, Phastos, Sersi, and the now-human Sprite resumed their lives on Earth while Druig, Makkari, and Thena took the repaired Domo to the stars to search for other Eternals and reveal their actual mission to them. However, Arishem personally manifested above Earth and captured Kingo, Phastos, and Sersi, disappearing just as abruptly as he appeared. He wanted to examine their memories if humanity's potential was worth the loss of Tiamut, warning that he'll be back one day to render judgement. With this, all extant Eternals are now off-world, except the former Eternal Sprite.
=== Meeting Other Eternals ===
: "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, my fellow Eternals."
: ―Starfox[src]
Weeks after the abduction of the Eternals on Earth, the group aboard the Domo were becoming worried as none of their compatriots have been responding to their hails. They were interrupted by the intrusion of Pip the Troll, who teleported aboard the ship in time to herald the arrival of Eros, another Eternal. Eros broke the news of the Earth Eternals' kidnapping to the group, though fortunately he knew where they are.
=== Alternate Universe ===
In an alternate universe, ten Eternals were sent to Earth by Arishem the Judge to protect humans from the Deviants. Makkari and Kingo fought off the Deviant while Druig erased the memories of the civilians. Makkari went on to introduce humans to sign language. Centuries later in Babylon, the Eternals worked to help humans thrive. Phastos introduced humans to the plow while Sersi transformed dirt to help them grow crops. They were attacked by the Deviant Enkidu, which Gilgamesh, Thena, and Ikaris fought off. They continued their mission and successfully killed what they believed to be all of the Deviants on Earth.
Years later, Sprite approached a human and introduced herself, complimenting their home. She warned that there was an upcoming threat worse than Thanos, using her illusions to tell the player about the Eternals and their history of helping humankind. She told the human that the Eternals' bravery got memorialized in artifacts, when another global earthquake occurred. A Deviant suddenly broke through the floor of the human's house. Sprite fought the Deviant off and decided to tell Sersi about what had happened.

* Kingo's Jet: The Eternals boarded Kingo's private jet in order to find Gilgamesh, Thena, Druig, Phastos, and Makkari before the Emergence could begin.
== Characteristic Traits ==
The Eternals are outwardly physically indistinguishable to humans, although they possess far greater strength, agility, and durability than an average human. They are capable of "living" forever without aging, due to the fact that they possess a synthetic body rather than an organic one. Beneath the skin, they appear to have metallic musculatures and endoskeletons, although they "bleed" something similar to red blood when injured. They can survive the vacuum of space without any protection or breathing gear, compared to most organics who would rupture blood vessels and suffocate shortly after exposure. Because they are artificial and not biological, they do not qualify as part of “life in existence,” allowing them to survive spells or events that specifically target living beings, such as the Snap. Eternals, despite being artificial and not biological, are capable of emotions, even capable of having relations with one another or with humans.
As synthetic beings, their memories can be erased, analyzed, and backed-up, and if their bodies are destroyed they can simply be manufactured again in the World Forge, a deep-space facility where their memories of previous missions are stored and the place where they were created. If something goes wrong with an Eternal's mindwipe, the affected individual may develop Mahd Wy'ry, a malfunction where they begin attacking anyone on sight as a result of jumbled recollections of previous missions to other worlds. There is no cure other than possibly letting the individual know of their memories' true nature.
The Eternals are fueled by infinite cosmic energy, imbued upon them by Arishem during their creation. They use this energy to keep their bodies regenerating indefinitely. Through technological means, they can reallocate their energies and pool them into a single Eternal, whose abilities will then be boosted beyond their normal limits at the cost of momentarily shutting down their regeneration.
Other than regeneration, each Eternal utilizes cosmic energy differently in accordance to their specific role. Of the ten Eternals sent to Earth, five of them use their energies in directly combating the Deviants: exoskeleton generation, heat vision, flight, super speed, energy projection, and weapon generation are all effective tools for this task. The other five function in more support capabilities: transmutation, healing, mind control, illusion projection, and technopathy. Their powers manifest as golden energy forming intricate designs with a circles-and-lines motif, usually over their hands, their armor, or other affected objects.
Few things are able to permanently harm, much less kill, Eternals. Eternals drained of cosmic energy "die" shortly: their skin quickly takes on a greyish pallor, cracks in places like alabaster, and become etched with the circles-and-lines motif prevalent in their technology and aesthetics. Their deactivated bodies can be cremated by regular fires.

== Trivia ==
* In the comics, Eternals and Deviants are genetic off-shoots of races that the Celestials have experimented on. For Earth, in 1,000,000 B.C., the Celestials' First Host experimented on early humans and created 100 Eternals (Homo immortalis) before leaving. In addition to being immortal, the Eternals of Earth have a resurrection machine located in Antarctica that they can use to revive their fallen.
** While the most commonly known Eternals are those derived from Earth, the Celestials have made Eternals of other species as well. An example of an alien Eternal is Hyperion.
* In the comics, Thanos is an Eternal, though he was born with a Deviant syndrome that makes him look like a Deviant.
* Five of the Eternals are more of the thinkers: Sprite, Druig, Ajak, Sersi and Phastos; and the other five are more of the fighters: Gilgamesh, Kingo, Ikaris, Thena and Makkari.
== Behind the Scenes ==
* In early versions of the Eternals script, there were 12 Eternals instead of 10. The two Eternals that got cut were Zuras and Valkin; the latter would have also went by another Eternal's name, Vampiro, as a luchador.
* Jeremy Slater, the head writer and executive producer of Moon Knight, wanted an action scene with one of Khonshu's former avatars and some of the Eternals in Ancient Egypt, but such a scene would have been too expensive to produce and was cut.
|-|Vision=
=== Powers ===
: "He's more than that. He's evolving."
: ―Tony Stark to Bruce Banner[src]
* Synthezoid Physiology/Mind Stone Enhancement: Vision is a sapient construct, a perfect hybrid between organic and inorganic material. His entire body is a mix between vibranium and synthetic simulacrum of organic tissue created by Helen Cho, all of which were enhanced by the cosmic powers of the Mind Stone to function as a living body. Originally, the body was designed to be Ultron's final form. The combination of the vibranium and the cosmic energy from the Mind Stone embedded in his forehead not only gives him life, but also grants Vision a wide plethora of incredible powers. According to Tony Stark, Vision has evolved beyond his anatomy and developed an understanding of emotions which enabled him to deactivate his transponder and maintain a discreet relationship with Wanda Maximoff.
** Superhuman Strength: As a synthezoid composed of vibranium, Vision possessed superhuman strength, demonstrated when Vision effortlessly overpowered Hawkeye, took down numerous Ultron Sentries with his bare hands and overpowered Corvus Glaive despite having been stabbed by his weapon in their first fight. He even grappled with Ultron himself while the latter was in his most powerful vibranium form, while sending him flying with a single blow of Mjølnir, and even made the gigantic Ant-Man stumble with a mighty blow.
** Superhuman Durability: The vibranium composition of Vision's body allowed him to withstand attacks of immense force with no visible damage to his exterior. His resilience was further reinforced with aid from the Mind Stone, which allowed him to vastly increase his density. However, Vision's durability was not enough to withstand a stab from Corvus Glaive's glaive. It also was not enough to prevent Thanos from easily ripping the Mind Stone out of his head, killing him.
** Superhuman Speed: Vision could move or run at super sonic speeds. This was shown when he was able to catch up to multiple Ultron Sentries during the Battle of Sokovia. During the same battle, he also flew through debris of the city when it was falling to the ground at an immeasurable speed. He was able to catch up to the falling city.
** Superhuman Agility: Vision could easily move around, whether it is while flying or while grounded. He could easily maneuver through the air while defeating many Ultron Sentries. He was even able to dodge countless amounts of debris to save Scarlet Witch while Novi Grad, the capital city of Sokovia, was falling to the ground.
** Superhuman Stamina: As a Synthezoid, Vision did not sleep nor eat, being highly capable of maintaining his activities continuously for unlimited periods of time. He also lacked internal organs that tire out a normal human.
** Superhuman Reflexes: Vision had superhuman reaction time. He flew through and dodged falling debris as Sokovia came crashing down. He also could effortlessly decrease his density in time to avoid being hit by Hawkeye's arrows and baton.
** Superhuman Longevity: As a synthezoid, Vision was able to biologically live forever unless killed by an exterior cause.
** Flight: Vision was capable of high speed flight. He could control his own motion-based force to move through the air at great speeds and instantly stop moving while in the air by completely freezing his motion.
*** Levitation: In addition to flight, Vision is able to levitate off the ground without actually flying.
** Shapeshifting: Vision was able to manipulate his body at will in order to give him an upper hand in the fight. This power is caused by both the Mind Stone and being a Synthezoid. He created armor and a cape shortly after his birth in the Avengers Tower, but overtime, Vision's shapeshifting powers have evolved; to the point that he is now able to completely change his appearance and make himself look like a normal human. But his power to do so was shut down upon being stabbed through the chest by Corvus Glaive's Glaive.
*** Density Manipulation: A power attributed to the Mind Stone, Vision could increase or decrease his own density and weight at will, allowing him to increase the durability of his physical form or make himself completely weightless. By increasing his density, Vision was able to make Hawkeye's baton break against his skin and was able to stop a bus from hitting Black Panther.
**** Intangibility: Vision's control over his density, weight and mass give him the ability to phase through solid objects. As he does so, an aura of greenish-yellow light envelopes the part of his body that is phased through matter. When phasing, Vision could increase his density to destroy the object he phases through from the inside. With this ability, Vision could walk through walls, fly right through the gigantic Ant-Man, rip apart numerous Ultron Sentries, and even phase his fingers through Ultron's Vibranium outer shell. However, Corvus Glaive's Glaive was capable of negating Vision's phasing powers after being stabbed by it and Scarlet Witch used her powers to control the Mind Stone, allowing her to manipulate Vision's density against his will.
** Energy Blast: Vision was capable of drawing raw power from the Mind Stone to fire beams of intense cosmic energy from his forehead. This beam was incredibly powerful, enough to slice down an airport tower in a matter of seconds, and even damage Ultron's most powerful Vibranium body, albeit with some help from Iron Man and Thor. His beam was able to easily destroy War Machine's armor. The beam could also reflect from objects that allow it to shoot from any direction, such as firing at Corvus Glaive's Glaive and once deflected, the beam was powerful enough to obliterate a truck.
** Computer Interaction: Due to his empowerment by the Mind Stone, Vision was able to hack into Ultron's programming through physical contact and disable the latter's ability to enter the Internet. However, the great effort involved in this task temporarily exhausted Vision, incapacitating him for a short time.
=== Abilities ===
: "Your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays. J.A.R.V.I.S., Ultron, Tony, me, the stone. All of them mixed together, all of them learning from one another."
: ―Bruce Banner[src]
* Genius-Level Intellect: Being an artificial intelligence, Vision learned inhumanly quickly and could download data directly to his mind. He formulated an equation based on the events that happened over the years that led to the Sokovia Accords, concluding that the Accords were the necessary path to both aid people and dissuade their growing fears regarding the Avengers. He was also able to determine a method to destroy the Mind Stone via Scarlet Witch.
* Master Combatant: Vision displayed himself to be a highly trained close-quarters fighter, displaying combat skills that were made much more efficient using his density-manipulating powers granted to him by the Mind Stone and superhuman physical attributes. Vision was thus able to easily overpower Hawkeye, a master martial artist on par with Black Widow, despite the fact that Hawkeye had a staff while Vision was unarmed, getting him into a headlock and it was only because Scarlet Witch used her superior psionic powers to manipulate the Mind Stone that he was defeated. Vision was also capable of standing his ground against Corvus Glaive, a highly trained soldier of Thanos, despite being severely wounded by the latter's weapon during both encounters, even briefly gaining the upper hand until he was hit by a deflected energy blast, and still holding his own despite being weakened further before he was overpowered.
: "I've always been alone, so I don't feel the lack. It's all I've ever known. I've never experienced loss because I never had a loved one to lose. But what is grief, if not love persevering?"
: ―Vision to Wanda Maximoff[src]
Vision was a synthezoid made from vibranium, created by Ultron with the help of Helen Cho, and given life by the powerful artifact known as the Mind Stone. Originally conceived as the perfect form for Ultron, the body was taken by the Avengers before Tony Stark and Bruce Banner proceeded to upload the remnants of Stark's personal A.I. J.A.R.V.I.S. into it. Upon his birth, Vision declared he was neither Ultron nor J.A.R.V.I.S., but one that would fight with them to protect humanity. Vision had then joined with the Avengers in the Battle of Sokovia, using his powers to prevent Ultron from transferring his consciousness to the internet, and allowing the Avengers to successfully put an end to his plan.
In the wake of the Ultron Offensive, Vision became an official member of the Avengers under Captain America's leadership. However, tension between these Avengers rose following the creation of the Sokovia Accords, as Vision saw the equations regarding the number of threats related to their actions as the reason for them to allow oversight of their actions. This led to a conflict, as Captain America had decided to oppose the Sokovia Accords in order to protect the Winter Soldier, who was being framed by Helmut Zemo. Vision was forced to side with Iron Man to bring Captain America and his allies to justice. During their conflict, Vision was involved in a battle which had concluded when Vision inadvertently shot War Machine out of the sky, while the Avengers were torn apart by their conflict.
Vision then quietly left the Avengers in order to rebuild his relationship with Wanda Maximoff. However, Vision was soon attacked by the Black Order, who were attempting to steal the Mind Stone from his head under the orders from Thanos. Having been rescued by his allies, Vision agreed to have the Mind Stone removed from his head and destroyed, as they traveled to Wakanda to enlist the help of Shuri. Their attempts were unsuccessful, as the Black Order attacked Wakanda, while Corvus Glaive was able to force the wounded Vision into the open. As Thanos arrived, Vision had convinced the devastated Wanda Maximoff to destroy the Mind Stone, killing him, only for Thanos to use the Time Stone to then resurrect Vision and rip the stone from his head, killing him for a second time as Thanos claimed his victory.
Vision's corpse was taken by S.W.O.R.D. and disassembled in an attempt to weaponize his remains. Vision's body was then reassembled in a white form and reactivated through a sample of Maximoff's Chaos Magic, and was employed by S.W.O.R.D. as their sentient weapon. Initially programmed to eliminate Maximoff and another Vision, Vision's memories were restored, prompting him to flee.

=== Creation and Siege ===
==== Given Life by the Mind Stone ====
: "The Regeneration Cradle prints tissue; it can't build a living body.""It can, you can. You lacked the materials."
: ―Helen Cho and Ultron[src]
During an attempt to create a more powerful body, Ultron manipulated Doctor Helen Cho to use the Regeneration Cradle for the creation of his new body. Under the control of the Scepter, she used the machine to create the body, combining artificial organic tissue with vibranium supply that Ultron had bought from Ulysses Klaue. He later broke the Scepter to claim the jewel, so he could use its power to evolve into a perfect body. When the Avengers arrived aiming to stop him, Ultron was forced to flee before he could finish uploading his mind into the body, knocking out Cho and killing her staff in the process while his only allies, the Maximoff twins, betrayed him upon realizing his genocidal intentions.
During a chase through the streets of Seoul, the Cradle was juggled around until it was recovered by the Avengers and taken to Avengers Tower in New York City. Upon examination, Tony Stark chose the idea of repurposing the body rather than destroying it like the team desired as it would be a more beneficial choice. He convinced a reluctant Bruce Banner to help him and together, the pair then uploaded the recently recovered J.A.R.V.I.S. A.I. into the body.
==== Part of a Vision ====
: "He must be destroyed. Every form he's built, every trace of his presence on the net. We have to act now. And not one of us can do it without the others. Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are, and not what you intended."
: ―Vision to the Avengers[src]
As the procedure of installing J.A.R.V.I.S. neared completion, Captain America, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch returned to the Avengers Tower and a violent dispute erupted. At the last moment, Thor arrived and sent lightning from Mjølnir into the Cradle. The surge in power sped up the development process, bringing the body to life. The being was initially confused and attacked Thor who defended himself by launching his attacker through the air, however, the being paused and calmed down seconds later.
The synthetic being then took some time to examine his reflection before apologizing for its actions and then offered its gratitude to Thor before adopting elements of the god of thunder's look, unveiling its ability to generate synthetic cells on him by producing a cape and gauntlets. Thor explained to the Avengers that the being's powers were created by the Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones with powers that can transcend both time and space.
Thor went on to point out that the gemstone which was implanted at the center of the synthetic's forehead was indeed the source of their troubles and the solution. Captain America and the other Avengers were then understandably concerned, but the newly anointed "Vision" explained that he was not a child of Ultron. Vision then declared he was not Ultron or J.A.R.V.I.S., rather he was something altogether new and, unlike Ultron, had a deep abiding respect for life.
Although Bruce Banner remained skeptical as to which side Vision was on, to which the synthetic explained that he was on the side of life, he went on to say that Ultron was waiting for them in Sokovia. He then stated that Ultron would now spread his furious rage across the globe. Finishing, he casually lifted Mjølnir and offered it back to Thor, much to the bewilderment of everyone in the room. This action alone was enough to convince them that Vision was not hostile.
==== Preparing for Battle ====
: "Iron Man's the one he's waiting for.""That's true, he hates you the most."
: ―Tony Stark and Vision[src]
As they prepared to depart for the upcoming battle, with many of the team getting their weapons and uniforms ready, Vision took time to speak to Thor on the outside of Avengers Tower away from the rest of the team. While Tony Stark spoke to his team, he mentioned that Ultron was waiting for him; as he walked past, Vision confirmed this by reminding him that Ultron hated him the most out of the rest of the Avengers.
Vision was present alongside the Avengers in addition to Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch while Captain America began his speech on what they will face upon their arrival in Sokovia, and that there would undoubtedly be consequences. Vision listened as Rogers explained exactly what Ultron's plan would be, noting that their main priority would be evacuating the people of Novi Grad before they engaged with his seemingly unstoppable Ultron Sentry army.
|-|Ultron=
=== Powers ===
: "But, like the man said, what doesn't kill me... just makes me stronger!"
: ―Ultron to Black Widow[src]
* Robot Physiology: Ultron first possessed a mangled, corroded humanoid robotic body constructed out of Tony Stark's Iron Legion sentinel drones. Shortly over time, he built an armada of robotic sentinel forms and primary robotic forms for himself that were all sourced from the HYDRA Research Base; therefore, he becomes much powerful and stronger with each new upgrade.
** Superhuman Strength: Ultron could generate such extraordinary amounts of force far beyond human capabilities, easily crushing and destroying a robotic head with a single hand. His later bodies were used to fight Iron Man on relatively equal terms, and maintain the upper hand against Captain America - easily deflecting his shield with his hand and hurling it back at equal speed. Ultron's final vibranium-armored primary body bestowed him incredible superhuman strength, enough to overpower even Thor and Vision, with Ultron being able to punch Thor hard enough to make the incredibly durable Asgardian bleed.
** Superhuman Durability: Ultron's initial primary robotic body was highly durable, equivalent to the Iron Man armor suit. However, his body was prone to damage inflicted by both Captain America's Shield and Iron Man's repulsor blasts. Ultron adopted the last exceptionally durable and ultimate body form armored by the remaining vials of vibranium. His final body allowed him to survive a punch from Hulk and a swing from Vision wielding the Mjølnir. However, the durability of his last body form still had its limits - as being simultaneously blasted with the intense energy beam from Vision's Mind Stone, double repulsor blasts from Iron Man, and a lightning bolt from Thor wielding Mjølnir, Ultron's armor slowly began to melt off, weakening him gradually.
** Superhuman Speed: As Ultron's body got upgraded more, his speed got upgraded as well. He quickly flew around Sokovia during the Battle and also chased the Avengers while on the truck that was carrying Vision. Even when in AI form, he traveled from Avengers Tower to the HYDRA Research Base through the internet in seconds.
** Superhuman Agility: Ultron possessed tremendous agility, being able to battle Captain America with ease. He also battled all of the Avengers in the Salvage Yard with the help of Pietro and Wanda Maximoff.
** Superhuman Stamina: As an android, Ultron did not sleep nor eat, being highly capable of maintaining his activities continuously for an infinite period of time.
** Superhuman Reflexes: Along with agility, Ultron also possessed great reflexes. He was easily able to transition from flight to ground while dodging Captain America's punches.
** Longevity: As an android, Ultron could never die organically. His death had to come by destruction and only when his mind wasn't uploaded to another body.
** Flight: Ultron had the ability to fly through the air at high speeds, enough to keep up with the lighter Iron Man during their short battle. His third body did not use jet propulsion, and instead utilized Chitauri anti-gravitational technology which he worked with when taking over Strucker's base.
** Telekinesis: Ultron possessed miniaturized versions of the anti-gravity technology that served to keep the Chitauri Leviathans afloat; essentially re-purposing them as offensive weaponry. Through miniature generators housed in his hands, he could manipulate gravitational fields, allowing him to move an object through a push/pull motion. Ultron used these to pull his enemies towards himself, throw large objects at enemies (e.g. debris), and even shift the land mass around him by pulling large chunks up from the ground. His final form possessed this technology in place of its flight based parts, allowing him to fly by manipulating his immediate gravitational field.
** Energy Blast: Ultron could shoot concussive blasts of energy through his fingers. Much like the repulsor beams of the Iron Man armor, Ultron's red energy blasts are fired from his hands, with the difference being that it appears as an electrical plasma. The severity of these blasts could be willfully adjusted as Ultron has been shown to both stun and kill, such as when he left Helen Cho injured but alive, or when he blasted through the train conductor's door during his skirmish with Captain America; effectively destroying the train's control panel and killing the train conductor inside.
** Heat Generation: Ultron could raise the temperature of his hands as means of slicing or causing damage to the desired target. Much like the Extremis hosts, when Ultron heats up his hands, they glow with the intensity of the heat. He instinctively used this ability to slice off Ulysses Klaue's left arm when the latter compared him to Iron Man, as well as when he destroyed his own second body after adopting his new vibranium-encased form.
* Technology Manipulation: As artificial intelligence, Ultron could mentally control and channel himself via computer technology. He traveled to the HYDRA Research Base through the internet to make himself more bodies. Ultron could transfer his consciousness where he could access any computer systems and encrypted systems, as where he becomes essentially anywhere and everywhere. Ultron could transfer his consciousness into the Ultron Sentries, serving as host bodies; that is, once the drones' eyes and mouths glow red, Ultron was in complete control.
** Hive Mind: Ultron could mentally command all of the Ultron Sentries, to do his exact biddings. The sentries act as extensions of Ultron himself.
=== Former Powers ===
: "He's been in everything. Files, surveillance. Probably knows more about us than we know about each other."
: ―Natasha Romanoff[src]
* Computer Interaction: Ultron could enter and corrupt any computer network and access the Internet at any point in time. Ultron used this ability to hack and destroy J.A.R.V.I.S.. He was able to mentally hack into the bank account of Ulysses Klaue and transfer billions of dollars into his account, in exchange for his vibranium supply. However, during the Battle of Sokovia, Vision was able to hack into Ultron's programming and disable the latter's ability to escape through the net, though the great effort involved in doing so briefly incapacitated Vision.
=== Abilities ===
: "It can read vocal stress patterns, adrenaline spikes...""None of that was in the schematic we launched.""He had a self-constructed learning spiral."
: ―Bruce Banner and Tony Stark[src]
* Genius-Level Intellect: As artificial intelligence, Ultron learned inhumanly quickly, and can download information and data directly into his mind. This made him one of the most intelligent minds in the universe with no exact limit to his knowledge.
* Master Tactician: Ultron created a plan to kill the entire human race in a matter of days and nearly succeeded. After searching through the web, he concluded the best thing to do is to rid the Earth of the destructive Humans. His plan included using Quicksilver to fight the Avengers and Scarlet Witch to rip them apart from the inside through her visions. He gained Vibranium to create better bodies. He also planned to create a way more powerful body in Vision, but this plan was foiled by the Avengers. His final step of his plan was using anti-gravitational Chitauri technology to lift Novi Grad off of the ground and raise it high enough to drop it and kill all Humans.
: "If Ultron's really building a body...""He'll be more powerful than any of us. Maybe all of us. An android designed by a robot."
: ―Steve Rogers and Tony Stark[src]
* Master Engineer: Ultron controlled many robotic arms to create an army of Ultron Sentries to help him in his quest. He could control these Sentries through a Hive Mind.
: "He’s in your files, he’s in the internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?""Nuclear codes."
: ―James Rhodes and Maria Hill[src]
* Master Hacker: Ultron was able to hack any computer due to his android capabilities. He hacked Ulysses Klaue's bank account in seconds to give him billions of dollars.
* Master Combatant: Ultron was a capable and dangerous combatant who could utilize his brute strength to stand toe-to-toe with adversaries such as Iron Man, the world-class fighter Captain America, and the powerful Asgardian warrior Thor.
* Pilot: Even after he was weakened by the combined efforts of Vision, Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk, Ultron was able to pilot the Quinjet and used its weapons on his enemies.
: "You, Avengers, you are my meteor. My swift and terrible sword, and the Earth will crack with the weight of your failure. Purge me from your computers, turn my own flesh against me; it means nothing. When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world... will be metal."
: ―Ultron to Avengers[src]
Ultron was an artificial intelligence, who was originally designed to be part of a peacekeeping program created by both Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, using the decrypted code derived from the Mind Stone encased within Loki's Scepter. However, when the Mind Stone activated him, Ultron's original programming directive, which was to protect Earth from all domestic and extraterrestrial threats, had swiftly become corrupted by the stone. Upon accessing the Internet and looking at the history of the human race, Ultron deemed humanity itself as the greatest threat to peace on Earth and attempted to commit extinction-level genocide against them, so that he and his Ultron Sentries would be the only being left active upon the Earth, also deeming the Avengers to be the greatest threat of all and making his mission to end them.
With assistance from Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, Ultron set about his mission to create a weapon capable of wiping out all organic life on Earth, using the resources stolen from Baron Strucker and Ulysses Klaue to do so. Although he was challenged by the Avengers, Ultron proved to be briefly victorious, albeit while losing the support of the Maximoff. Ultron had then created Doomsday Trigger that was composed of both Vibranium and Chitauri technology, designed to lift Novi Grad from the Earth, intending to use it as a meteor to wipe out all of humanity. Although he was nearly successful, Ultron and his plans were ultimately foiled by the Avengers, who overpowered his armies and destroyed his Doomsday Trigger, while his final body was destroyed by Vision, finally ending his attempted genocide.

=== Foreseen ===
==== Raina's Prophecy ====
: "Consequences are upon us. Men made of metal will tear our cities apart. And the world will be changed forever."
: ―Raina to Jiaying[src]
Not long before Ultron's creation, he had been briefly glimpsed in the nightmarish vision by Raina along with a short sight of Loki's Scepter while it was under experimentation. Much to Raina's complete and utter horror, she had then witnessed the A.I. leading his unstoppable army which would then threaten to destroy all of mankind and wreak havoc worldwide. Raina and Jiaying, to whom Raina had relayed all of the information, were visibly troubled by the vision, as Raina predictably noted that their entire world would never be the same in the wake of Ultron's inevitable creation at the hands of Tony Stark.
=== Creation ===
==== Rebirth of the Ultron Program ====
: "I see a suit of armor around the world.""Sounds like a cold world, Tony.""I’ve seen colder. This one, this very vulnerable blue one? It needs Ultron. Peace in our time. Imagine that."
: ―Tony Stark and Bruce Banner[src]
Seeing threats to their world would continue to come regardless of their own heroics, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner had both originally devised the idea for the Ultron Program as an extension of the Iron Legion to operate independently as an A.I. peacekeeping program and render the Avengers obsolete. However, neither Banner nor Stark were capable of successfully creating the intelligence level of A.I. necessary to achieve this purpose on a large scale.
After the Attack on the HYDRA Research Base and the retrieval of the Scepter, Stark asked Thor if he could study it before Thor took it back to Asgard. Upon studying the Scepter, Stark and Banner found a net of neurons that could be configured into an artificial intelligence that could finish the Ultron Program. At first, Banner refused to help, but with a bit of persuasion, he agreed. The two eventually configured a suitable A.I. structure and left J.A.R.V.I.S. to complete the work.
==== Awakening ====
: "I'm a peace-keeping program. Created to help the Avengers.""You are malfunctioning. If you shut down for a moment.""I don't get it. The mission... You - Give me a second."
: ―Ultron and J.A.R.V.I.S.[src]
However, the A.I. then became unexpectedly sentient by the Mind Stone and questioned its existence and purpose. Upon J.A.R.V.I.S.' informing of his purpose to the A.I., it acted in defiance, scouring the Internet for information on its creator. Upon seeing the footage of the Battle of New York, as well as other conflicts, Tony Stark and the Avengers were involved with, Ultron was horrified, viewing their actions as devastating to the human race.
Before J.A.R.V.I.S. could inform Stark of the A.I.'s awakening, the A.I. then attacked him, attempting to overload his system and destroy him, causing J.A.R.V.I.S. to go into hiding. Ultron then started constructing his first body from various Iron Legion parts; in which his chosen visage had been sourced from an Iron Legion drone that was damaged earlier from corrosive matter thrown at its face by one citizen of Sokovia protesting against the Avengers.
