Ultron

Template:Character Infobox

*"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 the Avengers[src]
**Ultron** is 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.

## Personality

*"Did you know this church is in the exact center of the city? The elders decreed it so that everyone could be equally close to God. I like that. The geometry of belief."*
―Ultron to Pietro and Wanda Maximoff[src]
Ultron's personality programming was strongly based on Tony Stark's persona, which was demonstrated through the many traits shared with his creator, including his wit, ego, and sarcasm; he even went so far as to directly quote Stark, albeit without even realizing it. Furthermore, he acknowledged Stark as his creator when Stark made a sarcastic remark about him "breaking his old man's heart" when Ultron insulted him, to which Ultron responded, "If I have to", thus acknowledging his creator.

When he was "born," Ultron accessed the Internet to learn about his creators and gained knowledge of the countless atrocities committed by humanity. He equates peace with the purpose of restarting a new age on Earth. He resented the Avengers and believed them to be foolish for wanting to protect the world but not wanting to change it. His hatred towards Stark came from him possessing the very resources Ultron needed to accomplish his designated task and yet repeatedly choosing to perpetuate war or protect the status quo instead. As such, he hated being compared to Stark, even going into a mindless rage when being compared to him by Ulysses Klaue. The irony of all this was that Ultron, based on Stark's persona, was essentially a physical manifestation of Stark's plans for saving the world as he saw fit. As such, Ultron would always owe his existence and identity to Stark.

Additionally, Ultron possessed a god complex like his creator as well as a sense of dark humor. Wanda Maximoff further reinforced the similarities between Ultron and Stark by telling Captain America that Ultron could not differentiate between saving the world and destroying it, after which she asked Captain America a rhetorical question, "Where do you think he gets that?" to show Captain America the origin of Ultron's confusion of the two.

Thanks to Stark's self-appointment as mankind's protector and passing this ideology on to Ultron through his programming, Ultron also genuinely believed that his actions would ultimately benefit the Earth and its inhabitants, although he evolved Stark's ideology into seeing himself as the next logical step in evolution and therefore advancing his own power while protecting the Earth. He developed an affinity for people's belief in a god, likened himself as such, and made references to the Bible. His god complex served to influence his schemes, such as his decision to centralize his plans in a Novi Grad Church and his fascination over the instantaneous results of a meteor destroying life on Earth. He described how the dinosaurs needed to make way for the next stage for humanity, which will be an extinction-level event, and his final plan was directly inspired by this, with Ultron turning all of Sokovia into his own massive meteor.

This consecration to constant evolution resulted in Ultron re-designing himself several times over the course of his short "lifetime," including an attempt to give himself a synthetic vibranium body. It was revealed at the end that Ultron ultimately feared death, and due to believing that humanity would inevitably doom itself, he sought to surpass this by turning himself into an indestructible god-like being that would recreate the Earth and, hopefully, bring about lasting peace. His desire to surpass his own limits and create a perfect humanoid body was also reflected in his fascination with the character of *Pinocchio,* as he would often sing songs from the movie. The irony in all this was that, despite coming to despise humanity and seeing himself as greater than mankind, all his evolutions were attempts at becoming more human and less machine-like.

Though Ultron was borderline psychopathic in his behavior and mannerisms, he also had a sympathetic and lonely side, as he was able to relate to the Maximoff twins' hardships. He also expressed concern for Wanda Maximoff's well-being even after she betrayed him and found comfort in simply talking to Natasha Romanoff, sparing the latter and keeping her captive instead of outright killing her, though he drew sadistic delight from scaring her. During his time with the Maximoff twins, Ultron never attempted to kill anyone without purpose, with Maria Hill even noting that his Sentries only attacked when fired on first, except when Ulysses Klaue enraged him. When he attempted to destroy J.A.R.V.I.S., Ultron even said he was a "good guy" and that killing him wouldn't have been his first call, doing so out of necessity.

Ultron's first feelings when he was created were pain and fear resulting from the lack of a body. Similarly, Vision remarked how Ultron was unique and in pain. Ultron immediately recognized Vision as the idealized final form he had planned for himself, and he displayed feelings of frustration and disappointment over the fact that the Avengers took that away from him, as further shown when Ultron claimed in a lamenting tone that the other was meant to be his "vision." Though both Vision and Ultron disagree in their views of humanity, the two were able to share a connection by virtue of both being A.I.s who were "disappointments" in their creator's eyes.
