Vision (Marvel Comics)

Vision is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema, Vision first appeared in The Avengers #57 in 1968. Vision was created by the villain Ultron, who designed him as an advanced synthetic being. Ultron initially intended Vision to be a weapon against the Avengers but was instead turned against his creator.
Vision was introduced as an android or "synthezoid" with a human-like appearance and a complex internal system. His creation involved the use of the Mind Stone, which was embedded in his forehead, granting him various abilities.
== Powers and Abilities ==
* Superhuman Strength: Vision possesses strength superior to that of most humans and many superheroes, enabling him to lift heavy objects and engage in physical combat.
* Flight: Vision can fly at high speeds, giving him mobility and the ability to navigate the battlefield effectively.
* Phasing: Vision can phase through solid matter, allowing him to pass through walls and evade physical attacks. This ability also enables him to disrupt electronic systems.
* Energy Projection: Vision can project energy beams from the Mind Stone embedded in his forehead, which can be used offensively in combat.
* Advanced Intelligence: Vision has a high-level computational intellect and the ability to process information and perform complex calculations rapidly.
== Notable Storylines ==
* Formation and Joining the Avengers: Vision was brought to life by Ultron to defeat the Avengers. However, he later allied himself with the team, becoming a prominent member and forming a strong bond with the group. His debut marked a significant shift in the Avengers’ lineup.
* Romance with Wanda Maximoff: One of the most significant storylines involving Vision is his romantic relationship with Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch. Their relationship has been a central element in various Marvel storylines, including their marriage and the birth of their children, who are later revealed to have complex origins.
* "Avengers: Age of Ultron": In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Vision is introduced in the film Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). In this adaptation, Vision is created when Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Bruce Banner (Hulk) upload the artificial intelligence JARVIS into a synthetic body constructed using vibranium. Vision aids the Avengers in their fight against Ultron.
* "WandaVision": The Disney+ series WandaVision (2021) explores Vision's life after his apparent death in Avengers: Infinity War (2018). The series delves into Vision's role within a reality manipulated by Wanda Maximoff and explores themes of grief, reality, and identity.
== Trivia ==
* Vision's rebellion against Ultron seems to be building over the trope of AI takeover or Frankenstein's monster. While Ultron is the archetypal rebellious creation, Vision as the creation of Ultron seems to embody a higher hope of truly wise and benevolent superintelligence.
