History Characters / MCUNewAvengers

* DroneDeployer: His upgraded flight pack has a drone which he can deploy for reconnaissance by the time of ''Civil War''.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the comics, Redwing was a falcon that Falcon himself had a telepathic link to. Here, Redwing is a flying drone.

* AttackDrone:
** Redwing is primarily a scout drone, but it does have a small gun to deal with individual threats, and a grappling cable Falcon uses to drag Spider-Man away. Also, in a pinch, you can straight-up launch it at someone's face.
** During ''Infinity War'', in place of Redwing, Falcon can now eject three arrowhead-shaped smaller drones from his jetpack, which can fly over and ''through'' enemies since they are sharp.
** ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'' brings back Redwing--and the drone itself now has the projectiles that can give even helicopters a run for their money.

* PragmaticAdaptation: In the MCU Redwing is a drone that Sam can remotely operate rather than [[BondCreatures a bird he shares a telepathic link with]].

Sam's personal attack drone.
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/redwing.png]]

* AttackDrone: It's function.

* BadassAdorable: At least according to Sam

* DwindlingParty: Despite being called the "New Avengers", the group doesn't get to work together as a team for very long. As of writing this, the only active members of the team are Falcon, War Machine and Falcon, as Vision, Quicksilver, and Natasha are all dead, Wanda has gone into a SelfImposedExile, and Steve has retired.

* AvengersAssemble: A new group of superheroes with different backgrounds who have been brought together to protect the world. Captain America even says the iconic phrase when the team is assembled at the end of ''Age of Ultron'', though the credits roll before we can hear him says the second word.

* BadassCrew:. Of course. The new members are none other than Iron Man's [[ComicBook/WarMachine best friend, who wears a similarly high-powered and well-armed suit of armor]], Captain America's [[ComicBook/TheFalcon close friend, a former Air Force paratrooper with a literal winged harness, specializing in rescue missions]], [[ComicBook/TheVision an artificial human created by Thor's lightning and one of Iron Man's AI programs, with an Infinity Stone embedded in his head]], and a pair of twins, [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch one of whom has a wide array of mental abilities such as mind control, telepathy, and telekinesis]], and [[Comicbook/{{Quicksilver}} one with super-speed and reflexes]] (though sadly, the latter only gets to be part of the team for one battle before he dies).

->''"138 combat missions. That's how many I've flown, Tony. Every one of them could've been my last, but I flew 'em. Because the fight needed to be fought."''

Tony Stark's best friend, and military liaison to Stark Industries. A full-bird Colonel by the events of ''Civil War'', Rhodey is a seasoned pilot and skilled marksman with dozens of missions to his name.

In combat, Rhodey uses a modified (read: ''covered'' with guns) version of Iron Man's PoweredArmor as War Machine. He serves as the poster boy hero for the United States government, but comes to eventually join the Avengers after a major reshuffle of the team.
-----
* AceCustom: On the receiving end of this trope. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], because, since the War Machine armor serves as Tony's buffer from the government and military so they stop hounding him from giving them his Iron Man tech, Tony can't afford to give them the most extreme levels of technology he knows he can't trust them with, especially in light of the events of ''The Winter Soldier'' up to ''Civil War''. Thus, the latest War Machine armors are definitely advanced, but not too advanced.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Not Rhodey himself because he's a hero in the comics. This trope applies only to the Iron Patriot Armor. In the comics, it was originally used by ComicBook/NormanOsborn, a supervillain who was at best a KnightTemplar.
* AppropriatedAppellation: After Tony insults his armor by calling it a "war machine" in ''Film/IronMan2'', Rhodey takes to calling his armor that himself. Tony notes in the tie-in comic to ''Film/IronMan3'' that he meant it as an insult.
* AtrociousAlias: Tony isn't impressed by the Iron Patriot name, and Rhodey ultimately admits he liked War Machine better. By way of his [[EmbarrassingPassword AIM passcode]], no less...
* BadassBoast: "It's called 'being a badass'."
* BadassNormal: Like Tony, he has no superpowers but is still considerably capable in a fight, being a trained military who thinks on his feet and can perform some downright impressive shooting.
* BashBrothers: With Iron Man and highlighted at the end of ''2''; best friends and fellow armor users fighting terrorists.
* {{BFG}}: Tony seems to think he's compensating for something. Rhodey's reply is "It's called being a badass."
* BlackAndNerdy: He's fairly familiar with science fiction, as seen in ''Endgame'' when he quickly rattles off a long list of time travel movies (including some fairly obscure ones) to try and show he has an understanding of how time travel works. He's also an MIT graduate (note his ring), presumably in aerospace engineering considering his occupation.
** When Nebula begins to walk through the chamber on Morag to get the Orb, Rhodey tries to stop her, thinking the place is boobytrapped a la ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.
* BlindObedience: In the ''Civil War'' junior novelization, he argues in favour of the Accords and the benefits of a chain of command because it's never failed him before. Sam retorts that it's easy for Rhodes to say that because he's a career officer who's always been at the top of the military chain and benefited from it, unlike lower level grunts like Sam.
* BondOneLiner: PlayedForLaughs in ''Age of Ultron'' when his "War Machine story" ends with him saying "BOOM! You looking for this!?"
* BottomlessMagazines: He never runs out of ammunition for his armors' weapons.
* BrokenPedestal: In ''Civil War'', he mentions Ross' awards and is all out for the Sokovia Accords the latter explained, implying that he admired Ross at least. By ''Infinity War'', he’s grown tired of how discourteous and priggish Ross is and implies he regrets signing the Accords. He then proceeds to cut him off when Ross orders the arrest of the remaining Avengers to team up with them once more.
* BroughtDownToBadass: In ''3''. He's stripped of his suit, and winds up on an oil tanker armed with only a pistol against Extremis-empowered soldiers. He proceeds to go and get his suit back and rescue the President. It’s worth noting that both he and Tony are without their armor in this situation with Rhodey doing most of the heavy lifting in their fight with AIM until the House Party arrives.
* BoringButPractical: Rather than using micro-missiles, repulsors, lasers, glowing melee weapons, or other futuristic tech like Tony, Rhodes settles with strapping a big [[MoreDakka 7.62mm minigun]] on his back (replaced with what appears to be a 20mm HE cannon in later films) and a pair of 5.56mm rifles on his wrists. He's no less effective for it. This is best shown in ''Infinity War'' where he alone racks up more kills than the entire Wakandan army simply by dropping a lot of big explosives on the Outriders and pouring automatic fire at a choke point.
* ButNotTooBlack: Inverted with his recasting; Don Cheadle is noticeably darker than Terrence Howard.
* ButtMonkey: A minor one, but still there. He spends most of ''Iron Man'' being taunted by Tony, and then is later forced to make up a BS excuse to cover up a Tony-related incident. In ''Iron Man 2'', he's forced to utilize Hammetech in the War Machine armor, meaning Vanko takes over his armor, and his touted "Ex-Wife" super-bunker-buster weapon fails epicly at the worst moment. He's not present for ''Avengers'', and by ''Iron Man 3'' is forced to take on a new identity which everyone mocks, before his armor is hijacked by the villains. In ''Age of Ultron'', he's gently mocked by Tony and Thor at the party, and his attempt to play TheCavalry at the final battle is upstaged by the much more powerful Vision. It reaches its apex when he's crippled from a glancing blow from the Vision in ''Civil War''. It’s finally gone by ''Infinity War'', where he is clearly the heaviest hitter Team Wakanda has (now that he’s finally able to use his full arsenal) [[spoiler:until Thor shows up]].
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Sucks at avoiding temptation and gets drunk ''much'' faster than Tony.
* CaptainPatriotic: His new "Iron Patriot" paintjob in ''Iron Man 3''. Despite being based on a villain's look in the comics, here it just plays up his MilitarySuperhero status. He drops the paint scheme as of ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' [[spoiler: but, for reasons currently yet unknown, returns in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' with the Mark 7, although it's not called Iron Patriot, at least not explicitly, this time]].
* CareerEndingInjury: Subverted. In ''Civil War'', he suffers a spinal injury after a crash landing. While this seems like it would end his career as an airman, he's undergoing rehab with the help of a powered exoskeleton made by Tony. By ''Infinity War'' he's flying into battle with everyone else, in no small part thanks to this rehab and his armor's innate mobility.
* CarryABigStick: His arsenal includes a massive baton in ''Civil War'', giving him more options at close range.
* TheCavalry: Shows up in the climatic fight of ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', acting as point defense for the Helicarrier.
* TheChewToy: During the airport battle in ''Civil War'', he's on the receiving end of a considerable amount of humorous damage. Takes a dark turn when friendly fire by Vision results in him getting crippled.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: "That's why I have to be your babysitter. You need your diaper changed, I'll get you a bottle." As much as he complains, he truly cares about Tony.
* ColonelBadass: Promoted to full bird Colonel by the end of ''3''.
* CombatPragmatist: His [[SuperheroPackingHeat fighting style]] is quite "boring" compared to flashier heroes, but unquestionably effective.
** Very noticeable in ''Infinity War''. While the Wakandans and other heroes use gimmicky, magic, and/or ritualistic gear like vibranium melee weapons and plasma blasters, Rhodes (along with Falcon and Bucky) uses conventional guns and bombs. Until Thor arrives, he has by far the biggest kill count of the group.
** He's the only one who supports using time travel to kill Thanos as a baby, until being told it's not possible.
* CompositeCharacter: In ''3'', he wears the Iron Patriot, originally worn by ComicBook/NormanOsborn in the comics.
* CripplingOverspecialization: His War Machine armor certainly makes him a very powerful fighter, but in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', the fact that most of his weaponry is composed of guns makes it more difficult for him to fight non-lethally. Best demonstrated when Giant Man takes a swing at him with a gangway, and using that weaponry, he manages to completely ''obliterate'' the gangway before the swing even reaches him.
* DarkIsNotEvil: His War Machine armor is a menacing black and gray, complete with an overdose of guns and [[RedEyesTakeWarning a red-eyed helmet]], but he's a MilitarySuperhero who's more grounded than his best friend Iron Man.
* DeadpanSnarker: The only way to interact with Tony. "How was the Fun-Vee?"
* DeathFromAbove: Rhodey can lay down the hurt more than ever in ''Infinity War'', as the War Machine armor is now equipped with a pack of bombs, making him able to do bombing runs.
* DisabledSnarker: Invoked. While he's always been able to match snark with Tony, after the events of ''Civil War'' (where he was crippled but eventually got back on his feet, thanks to Stark-tech), he's been upping his snark game until it's UpToEleven by ''Endgame'', likely as a coping mechanism.
* DistressedDude: Both Iron Man sequels involve the War Machine/Iron Patriot armor being captured or hijacked by the main villains.
* FlyingFirepower: Even more so than Iron Man, as War Machine is the same armor but equipped with more conventional weaponry such as a machine guns, missiles, or bombs.
* {{Foil}}: To Falcon for ''Civil War''. Both are former airmen who serve as the main partners to Tony and Cap respectively, unquestioningly backing their friend when sides get drawn.
* TheGadfly: In ''Infinity War'', he advises Banner to bow before Black Panther, only to ask "What are you doing?" once Banner complies, followed by the most shit-eating smirk imaginable.
** He spends a good amount of ''Endgame'' trolling Thor with some side jabs thrown at Scott and 2014!Quill for good measure.
* GatlingGood: Shoulder-mounted and auto-targeting.
* HandicappedBadass: His spinal injury during ''Civil War'' crippled him and forced him to use cybernetics to walk, but ''Infinity War'' shows that a mere spinal injury won't stop him from being War Machine.
* HeroAntagonist: Towards Captain America and his Anti-Registration team in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''. He's the same guy as before, with the same goals; he just happens to be working against his fellow heroes this time.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Rhodey is one of the very few people Tony truly trusts, and he's always trying his hardest to keep Tony from hurting himself.
* HiddenDepths: He's apparently quite the movie buff, listing a bunch of sci-fi movies in an attempt to explain his (incorrect) ideas about the nature of time travel in ''Endgame.''
* HollywoodTactics: Notably {{Averted}} in ''Infinity War''. While the rest of the Wakandan Army breaks formation and charges pell-mell at the Outrider horde, Rhodes tactically takes advantage of the chokepoint and blasts dozens of outriders into oblivion himself.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: A non-villainous example. In ''Civil War'', Rhodey ends up paralyzed due to a shot he himself ordered (with the intention of non-fatally taking Falcon out of the fight).
* HumansAreWarriors: He likes talking about the military community: "They've got my back... and I've got theirs."
** The last thing he tells Hawkeye and Black Widow before they depart for Vormir is to “watch each others’ six.”
* ImprobableAimingSkills: In ''3'', he nails several difficult shots with a pistol, including a distant light and some cables.
* InspectorJavert: He becomes this in ''Civil War'' when several of his teammates refuse to play ball with the government. He sheds this attitude in ''Infinity War'' once he realizes how shortsighted and agenda-focused Secretary Ross really is.
* JerkassBall: Downplayed in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''. While still a hero fighting for good, he basically becomes InspectorJavert towards the heroes who refuse to go along with the Sokovia Accords. He calls Cap a "criminal" and arrests him after the latter interferes with the government troops trying to kill Bucky and orders Vision to fire an ''energy ray'' at Falcon's flight pack thruster that could severely injure or possibly kill Sam if it's off target. Vision misses Sam and [[LaserGuidedKarma hits Rhodey instead, which winds up crippling his armor, resulting in his fall and paralysis]]. [[spoiler:He ditches the ball in ''Infinity War'' after his crippling injury woke him up to have a JerkassRealization, welcoming the "Secret Avengers" home before getting down to business.]]
* KillTally: In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', his suits has been [[https://imgur.com/MtsXc2K engraved]] with twenty-four heads of Ultron, referencing the drones he destroyed in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''. [[GeniusBonus This resembles the practice of marking downed enemy fighters on his jet.]]
* KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter: While capable of using the same repulsor energy as Iron Man, the War Machine armor favors the use of heavy ordnance via wrist mounted firearms and a shoulder mounted minigun.
* TheLancer: Serves as a {{foil}} to Tony. He's a career military man who appreciates a clear chain of command, whereas Tony isn't big on taking orders.
* LawmanBaton: In ''Civil War'', War Machine deploys a stun baton to non-lethally apprehend Cap, although he warns Cap that "it ain't gonna tickle, either." Steve wrecks the thing rather than find out the hard way.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Against the Outriders in ''Infinity War'', Rhodes shows off two shoulder mounted missile launchers that help decimate the aliens at a tactical chokepoint.
* MeaningfulRename: His superhero moniker is changed from "War Machine" to "[[PatrioticFervor Iron Patriot]]" in the face of the Mandarin terror threat. He switches ''back'' to War Machine at the first opportunity.
* MilitarySuperhero: Colonel of the United States Air Force and War Machine.
* MomentKiller: To Tony and Pepper at the end of ''Iron Man 2''. To be fair, [[ImStandingRightHere he was sitting right there]] and [[FailedASpotCheck they didn't bother to check]].
-->'''Rhodey:''' [[GetARoom Get a roof!]]
* MissedHimByThatMuch: [[spoiler:He just barely misses seeing Sam disintegrate due to the power of the Infinity Gauntlet in ''Infinity War'', and was actively looking for him at the time.]]
* MoreDakka: The key difference between the Iron Man and War Machine suits. The War Machine is equipped with at least five different kinds of guns. While more heavily armed, these guns are mostly conventional weaponry compared to the more advanced tech in the Iron Man suit, keeping the playing field level. Among the armors, Mark VII is the king of this trope, being much bulkier than previous War Machine armors, and seems to have double the armament of even the previously most loaded armor, the Mark IV.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Downplayed for a funny moment. He thinks "Iron Patriot" is stupid like everyone else, but his superiors approved it so he goes along with it.
* NoHeroToHisValet: Most people who care about Tony spend a decent amount of time deflating his ego, and Rhodey is no exception.
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** He tries ''very'' hard to be the responsible adult around Tony. It's not as easy as one might think.
** In ''Infinity War'', the first thing he does in Wakanda is trick Bruce into bowing to [[ModestRoyalty T'Challa]], then act like he has no idea where Bruce got the idea.
* NotSoStoic:
** Tony tends to bring this out in him. During the Senate hearing in ''2'', there's a moment where Tony just looks at him and you can see Rhodey hiding a smile, trying not to crack up in public.
** On a bleaker note, he is clearly ''furious'' when Tony drunk-pilots a suit in a room full of civilians. He promptly suits up himself, orders everyone out, and tells Tony to take off his suit or get his ass kicked.
* OddFriendship: By ''Endgame'', he's formed a friendship with, of all people, [[spoiler:Nebula]]. They get partnered up in the [[spoiler:Time Heist]], she calls him by his nickname while warning “there’s an idiot in the landing zone”, and he sympathizes with her condition and compares it to his own.
* OneManArmy: Most prominently in ''Infinity War'' where he rains down an insane amount of aerial firepower on Thanos's forces killing hundreds of Outriders by himself, only outdone by Thor and Scarlet Witch.
* OnlySaneMan: One of two in Tony's life. The other one is Pepper. When Tony starts doing too many eccentric things, it's Rhodey who often shows up to rein his best friend in.
* OvershadowedByAwesome:
** When hanging out with the Avengers. In ''Age of Ultron'', he tells a story to Thor and Tony (complete with witty one-liners) about how he lifted a tank and threw it at a warlord's feet, and gets patronizing approval out of the two as he remarks that that story usually kills. He's later seen telling the story again to a group of civilians just to make himself feel better.
** The fact that he is basically bragging about how strong his suit is to [[GadgeteerGenius the man who made said suit]] and the [[PhysicalGod strongest being on the planet]] doesn't helps his case.
** In the climax of the very same movie, he had a small BigDamnHeroes moment, taking out the stray Ultron drones... only to be upstaged by Vision in grandiose fashion.
-->'''Rhodey:''' Okay, what?!
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's 5'8" and even without the War Machine armor, he's a USAF Colonel.
* PoweredArmor: His piece was originally the Mark 2, the first flight-capable suit Tony made after returning from captivity. Rhodes confiscates it from Tony and [[SuperheroPackingHeat gets it upgraded by Justin Hammer]] in ''Iron Man 2''.
* PrimaryColorChampion: His Iron Patriot suit, and the War Machine suit he wears for the climax of ''Endgame''.
* TheRemnant: Downplayed in ''Endgame'' -- [[spoiler:while Rhodey isn't the only Avenger left alive, he's the only non-founding member that survived the ''Infinity War''. The rest are all dead now]].
* RetCanon: Again, this version of Iron Patriot. It's migrated into mainstream Franchise/MarvelUniverse after ''Film/IronMan3''.
* RunningGag: His being caught off-guard by superpowers happens in several movies.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: During ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:when Ross orders him to arrest Steve, Sam and Natasha when they return in ''Infinity War'', Rhodey realises they've all got bigger problems (namely Thanos and his minions invading Earth) and [[TakeThisJobAndShoveIt basically tells Ross where he can go]], accepting a court martial from Ross to help the Avengers]].
* ShipperOnDeck: The ''Iron Man 3'' prequel comic mentions how thrilled he is that Pepper is moving in with Tony.
* ShoulderCannon: His main War Machine trademark. It's a big gun, but not ''the'' big gun.
* SixthRanger: [[spoiler:Since all the New Avengers but him were dusted, he gets to be this to the orginal Avengers during the events of ''Endgame''.]]
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Rhodey is the sole survivor of the New Avengers and their allies that were featured in ''Infinity War'', the rest having either been killed by Thanos personally or disintegrated by the power of the Gauntlet. Only the original roster remains of the Avengers Initiative aside from him.]]
* SonicStunner: He's got one in his gauntlet, in case of any non-lethal fights. It works on Wanda, not so much on Giant-Man.
* StaticStunGun: A melee variant. Another addition to his arsenal in ''Civil War'' is a huge electric baton/warhammer for close-quarters combat and to easily incapacitate opponents.
-->'''Rhodey:''' Sorry Cap, this won't kill you, but it ain't gonna tickle either.
* SuperheroPackingHeat: It's his primary trait as War Machine. Bristling with guns, guns, and more guns, with some missiles on the side, and that's not even getting into his trademark shoulder turret.
* TakeUpMySword: In ''Iron Man 2'', the SecretlyDying Tony gave Rhodey some training to become the next Iron Man, even giving him clearance to use the Mark II armor. This was fortunately subverted since Tony was able to save his own life, but Rhodey kept the suit for his new War Machine persona.
* TheStoic: When he's with his co-workers, he's calm and focused.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: ''Civil War'' has him support the Sokovia Accords and go after all the heroes who refuse to comply. [[spoiler:''Infinity War'' has him realize that the Accords were a bad idea when Ross fixates more on arresting the fugitive Avengers rather than Earth being invaded by aliens and he chooses to ignore Ross's orders to arrest his former teammates.]]
* TurnTheOtherCheek: Two years after ''Civil War'', Rhodey doesn't seem to hold any lasting ill-will towards Vision, despite his lack of restraint being the reason Rhodey needs Stark-issued bionics to walk.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Tony. Despite their bickering and disagreements, Rhodey always comes to Tony's side when he needs him.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Both he and Tony can really get on each other's nerves at times, but their friendship will always endure and repair itself at the end.
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: The Iron Patriot armor, which is painted with the U.S. flag colors.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** His reaction to Tony drunk-piloting a suit and firing energy blasts in a room full of people, ''after'' Rhodey had defended him in public. He tells Tony he doesn't deserve the armor and proceeds to get in a brawl with him.
** He briefly calls Tony out for bringing the teenaged Spider-Man to the airport battle ("Jesus, Tony, how old is this guy?") That being said, he seems to get over it pretty quickly once it turns out that he can handle himself.
* WouldHurtAChild: PlayedForLaughs. Generally this is not the case, but Rhodes proposes to the surviving Avengers that they should just use the Time Machine to go back to when Thanos was a baby and then strangle him with a tightrope, complete with pantomiming and "choking noises." Professor Hulk was rightfully ''horrified'' by this idea -- although Scott and Clint seem to be open to it. Rhodes defends his idea on the grounds it's ''Thanos''.
* WrongGenreSavvy: In ''Endgame'', he expects the Temple of the Power Stone to be full of spikey death traps like something out of Indiana Jones. The actual security system consists of a single flesh-melting force field that Nebula easily circumnavigates with her metal prosthetics.
* WrongTimeTravelSavvy: In ''Endgame'', Rhodey's knowledge in time travelling, like Scott Lang, comes from movies and believes that they should just go back in time to kill Thanos when he was a baby.
* YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe: Has a particularly funny one during ''Civil War'' shortly before a truck appears out of nowhere and slams into him:

The brother of Wanda, who also underwent Wolfgang von Strucker's experiment, which gave him superhuman speed. He joins his sister in helping bring about Ultron's vision of a new order without the Avengers. After learning of Ultron's real intentions, he defects alongside his sister and they join the Avengers in order to save their planet -- along with what remains of their home. However, he ends up sacrificing his life to save Hawkeye.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: Practically every iteration of Quicksilver was born with his powers due to being a mutant. This Quicksilver received his powers as a result of experimentation with the Mind Stone. Notably, his speed is magical in nature. ''Series/WandaVision'' implies [[spoiler:his power was the result of latent magical ability that the Mind Stone amplified.]]

Finally averted by the events of ''[=WandaVision=]'', in which Wanda brings up the fact that she's a twin and that her brother didn't make it... And is disturbed as soon as "Geraldine" mentions that Ultron killed him. Given her reaction, it's less he's been forgotten and more bringing him up around Wanda is too much of a raw nerve.

->''"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''', ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''

An ArtificialHuman originally intended to be the final, ultimate body of Ultron. However, Vision is stolen by the Avengers before Ultron can transfer his mind to the android, at which point Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, with a bit of help from Thor, transfer the remains of J.A.R.V.I.S. into Vision in order to give them a way to prevent Ultron from moving his consciousness through digital networks.

->''For tropes applying to the White Vision, see the Characters/MCUUnitedStatesGovernment page.''

* TheAce: His addition to the team is the biggest turnaround for the Avengers due to being able to fight Ultron on the cyberspace level and prevent him from fleeing through the internet. He was also the one who found and killed the last Ultron robot. Of the very brief "New Avengers" lineup, it's a toss-up who has the most raw power -- him or Wanda.
* AchillesHeel: Outside of powerful aliens like the [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Black Order]], the only thing that was even able to immobilize him was Scarlet Witch's [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]].
* AdaptationalBadass: Vision is not nearly as powerful in the comics as he is in the films, at least before his appearance in ''Age of Ultron'', where his powers partially come from an Infinity Stone. In the comics he has a pretty standard powerset -- [[FlyingBrick flight, higher than average toughness and strength]], density manipulation powers, and a beam weapon in his solar-powered gem. His origin was also an android given life by copying the brain of another existing superhero. He is also the Avenger most often destroyed because he can be easily rebuilt. In the MCU, his origin and power level are far more impressive, where it takes Thor's lightning to give him life, has vibranium incorporated right into his ''cells'' which makes him nigh indestructible, and wields the Mind Stone.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Although he was built for Ultron's purposes as in the comics, he never actively opposes the Avengers in the film, unlike the comics.
* AdaptedOut: In the comics, Vision's consciousness was based on ComicBook/WonderMan's. This is discarded for ''Age of Ultron'', as Wonder Man has yet to appear in the MCU. [[note]] DependingOnTheWriter, he was also created from the remains of the original Human Torch by Phineas Horton (at Ultron's behest). Horton and the Human Torch don't appear in the film at all (and in fact, a ShoutOut to Horton in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' likely means he is long dead by the time ''Age of Ultron'' takes place), and instead, Vision's synthetic body is created by Helen Cho.[[/note]]
* AffectionateNickname: During their holiday in Scotland, Wanda calls Vision "Vis", which she also calls him in Series/WandaVision.
* AllForNothing:
** In ''Civil War'' he agrees with the Sokovia Accords because he feels that it's the only way to avoid another catastrophe like Sokovia. By the end of the film, a catastrophe not only occurs, it affects him more personally than he could have predicted: the Avengers are torn apart, he and Wanda are on opposite sides, and he's responsible for paralyzing Rhodey.
** In ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:the massive battle in Wakanda between the Avengers and Thanos' troops is done so that they can buy Shuri enough time to extract the Infinity Stone from Vision's head without destroying him. Unfortunately, the battle escalates to the point that Vision has to join in himself before Shuri can complete the process. As a result, he's left relatively open for Thanos to eventually take the Mind Stone from Vision by force, killing him brutally]].
* AllLovingHero:
** Definitely comes across as this, even to the extent of showing genuine sympathy for Ultron. Vision has no desire to hurt anyone or take a life and even tries to convince Ultron to stop fighting. In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' he [[WillfullyWeak willingly holds back]] against Team Cap for the same reasons.
** [[spoiler: As Vision becomes more aware of what's actually happening in ''Series/WandaVision'', he actively shows concern for the citizens of Westview, even getting visibly angry at Wanda at her unwillingness to stop harming them.]] And even then, [[spoiler: he only shows concern for her once the reason for her creation of the fake Westview is revealed to be due to her immense grief at losing him twice, then being faced with his murderer...all within the relative span of a day.]]
* AllYourPowersCombined: Vision's "birth" shows he's made of a little bit of each of the main Avengers: 1) the elements of Captain America's shield; 2) Iron Man's AI companion and his scientific prowess; 3) Hulk's added technical assistance; and 4) the lightning and thunder of Thor. The lightning is especially important, as it gives him a sort of "Frankenstein Monster" vibe to highlight that he is '''literally''' made of each Avenger. This analogy can even be extended to include the secondary Avengers. Black Widow is the team member who steals the Vision's casket from Ultron, while Hawkeye is in charge of transporting it to safety. Scarlet Witch's powers serve as the catalyst for the events in Age of Ultron, while Quicksilver's intervention prevents Iron Man and Hulk from creating Vision by themselves before Thor returns.
* TheAntiNihilist: Agrees with Ultron that the human race is probably doomed, but adds that, "a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts." This suggests that he's more of an [[UsefulNotes/{{Existentialism}} Existentialist]].
* AppropriatedAppellation: Thor just states he "had a vision" after Vis first comes online, and that soon just becomes his name.
* ArtificialHuman: He's an [[OrganicTechnology artificial organic]] sentient being modeled after humans. In the comics, synthezoid (basically, a fully robotic simulacrum of a human).
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: When the Avengers are discussing the Accords, he analyzes all the events of the MCU since ''Iron Man'' and suggests that the Accords are the path of least resistance and the right option for the Avengers.
--> '''Vision:''' In the eight years since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man, the number of known enhanced persons has grown exponentially. And, in that same period, the number of potentially world-ending events as risen at a commensurate rate.
--> '''Steve:''' Are you saying it's our fault?
--> '''Vision:''' I'm saying there may be a causality. Our very strength invites challenge, challenge incites conflict, and conflict...breeds catastrophe. Oversight...oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand.
* BackFromTheDead: In ''Series/WandaVision'', [[spoiler:he's somehow restored to life after his death in ''Infinity War''. While it's not initially clear how it happened, it's revealed in Episode 8 that the Vision in Westview is a construct created by Wanda's Chaos Magic, with him being unable to survive outside of the Hex as a result. Meanwhile, S.W.O.R.D. has been able to bring back Vision's actual remains and turn him into a cold, calculating sentient weapon under Project Cataract, though the Westview Vision eventually helps him regain his original memories.]]
* BadassBystander: Essentially his role during the ''Civil War'' airport battle; despite being the most powerful of the pro-Registration heroes, he noticeably limits himself to preventing any of his allies from getting too badly hurt rather than attacking the anti-Registration heroes.
* BadassCape: He sports a huge, yellow cape, just like his comic counterpart. He liked Thor's BadassCape so much that he decided to make one of his own appear out of thin air.
* BadassInDistress: After he is badly injured in ''Infinity War,'' multiple heroes try to save him from being captured and killed by the Children of Thanos. [[spoiler:In the end, Thanos kills him anyway.]]
* BashBrothers: With Thor in ''Age of Ultron'', since Vision proved his worthiness to wield Mjölnir. This comes into play when they are fighting Ultron and his robots and they can pass around the hammer between the two of them. They even comment on how well-balanced the hammer is during the fight. After Ultron is destroyed, Thor trusts Vision enough to keep the Mind Stone for himself.
* BenevolentAI: Considering his consciousness is partially J.A.R.V.I.S., it shouldn't be a surprise that The Vision is a really nice guy and a true Avenger.
* CameBackStrong: Ultron seemingly destroys J.A.R.V.I.S., who later returns and is used as the basis for the Vision.
* CameBackWrong: In ''[=WandaVision=]'' [[spoiler:his body is resurrected without the Mind Stone, causing him to appear as a blue and white version of himself.]]
* TheCape: He is [[TheParagon a truly heroic and powerful creature]]. As a visual cue of this trope, he creates a cape for himself after admiring Thor's.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:One of the few casualties of ''Infinity War'' to not be reversed by ''Endgame''. ''[=WandaVision=]'' puts him in an interesting position in which he's shown to be living in the mysterious reality of the show, but is stated to be dead in the real world.]]
* CompositeCharacter:
** His mind is built from J.A.R.V.I.S., a character whose comic book counterpart had no relation to the original Vision.
** His origin is comparable to Adam Warlock; an ArtificialHuman created in a cocoon by a villain to advance their world domination scheme that sides with the heroes and ends up with an Infinity Stone in his forehead.
** [[DecompositeCharacter However, Adam Warlock is still introduced in the setting years later.]]
* ColorFailure:
** [[spoiler:After having the Mind Stone forcibly ripped out of his head by Thanos, his whole body goes grayscale and his eyes turn milky white as he dies.]]
** His [[spoiler:body's appearance]] in ''[=WandaVision=]'' becomes [[spoiler:ghostly pale after being resurrected using Wanda's Chaos Magic.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Two of them in a row in ''Infinity War'': first, Wanda is forced to destroy the Mind Stone to keep Thanos from claiming it, a slow and painful process that ends up completely destroying Vision. Then, when Thanos uses the Time Stone to undo Wanda's efforts, he brutally tears the Mind Stone from the Vision's forehead, leaving the helpless android screaming in agony as he dies.]]
* {{Cyborg}}: He's a synthetic being built using Vibranium metal bonded to organic tissue.
* DatingCatwoman: Has secretly been meeting up with Wanda for romantic holidays since the events of ''Civil War'', even though Scarlet Witch is a fugitive and a member of the Secret Avengers, while Vision is a member of the New Avengers and part of his duties are trying to apprehend rogue superheroes.
* DeadpanSnarker: Exhibit A is commenting on how much Ultron hates Tony. Clearly ''that'' carried over from J.A.R.V.I.S.
-->'''Ultron:''' [[ShutUpKirk You're unbearably naive!]]\\
'''Vision:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Well... I was born yesterday.]]
* DeathOfPersonality: One of the concerns about getting the Mind Stone out of him is this, though Bruce Banner is reasonably certain the "best parts" will survive. [[spoiler:Due to circumstances, Vision dies without anyone being able to corroborate this theory.]]
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:he is killed when Thanos tears the Mind Stone out of his head]], but in the comics, he was torn apart by ComicBook/SheHulk during ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled''.
* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler:After Thanos rips the Mind Stone out of his head.]]
* DissonantSerenity: He's serene through much of ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'', even during the heat of battle.
* DorkKnight: Vision is one of the stronger Avengers, and a hyper-intelligent artificial humanoid, but due to his (relative) youth, he's also not quite got the hang of human customs, so when not being an Avenger, he hangs around in casual sweaters, getting confused by cooking instructions, and is completely tongue-tied trying to talk to Wanda.
-->'''Vision:''' A pinch of paprika... a pinch?
* DramaPreservingHandicap: Near the beginning of ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:he's badly injured by a sneak attack from the Children of Thanos. He's unable to use the full extent of his powers for the rest of the movie, and has a hard time even walking without help]].
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:Gives a near-inaudible one to comfort Wanda as she uses her powers to destroy the Mind Stone to deprive Thanos of it in ''Infinity War''. Sadly, Thanos simply uses the Time Stone to revert him back and then tears the Mind Stone out of his head, meaning Wanda has to watch him die twice.]]
* EmergentHuman: Unlike Ultron, Vision starts out life with wonder, fascination and naivete, but learns very quickly.
* EnergyWeapon: A highly concentrated beam from the Mind Stone on his forehead.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His ability to wield Mjölnir is what seals his role as Ultron's GoodCounterpart, and allows the Avengers to trust him fully. Even better is that he thinks nothing of it; he just wanted to help Thor a little.
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler: From the very first episode of ''Series/WandaVision'', Vision is aware that something is off about Westview, but mostly shrugs it off in order to show love and support for his wife. But when he finds out just how much responsibility Wanda has in making Westview (and himself) what they are in the fifth episode, Vision stops playing along with what Wanda does, and starts questioning and accusing her of being responsible for what's happening.]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:Both his deaths. The first time when Wanda is forced to MercyKill him by destroying the Mind Stone on his head, Vision is clearly in extreme pain but endures it calmly to comfort Wanda until his death, after which his body explodes into nothingness when the stone is destroyed. When Thanos uses the Time Stone to reverse his death, he simply tears the Mind Stone out of Vision's head with enough force to ''rip his whole forehead open, on-screen'', after which he throws Vision's grey, lifeless body away, his eyes still wide open with terror.]]
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"I love you..."]]
* FishOutOfWater: ''[=WandaVision=]'' has him attempt to be a perfect sitcom husband in a seemingly normal small town while he is a superpowered android.
* {{Flight}}: Capable of doing it without any outside assistance (unlike Thor, who needs Mjölnir or Stormbreaker), making him the first Avengers to do so. Wanda gains this ability shortly afterward.
* FlyingBrick: By far the most straight-forward example in the MCU. He requires no outside tech to fly and possesses NighInvulnerable Vibranium "[[OrganicTechnology flesh]]".
* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:Despite all the effort the Avengers put into trying to save Vision's life in ''Infinity War'', they don't appear to have made any effort to resurrect him in the subsequent five years, or consider how to revive him when trying to undo Thanos' snap; not even Tony and Bruce, who created him. The only mention he gets is from Wanda, and then not even by name]]. He's later shown as [[spoiler: one of the Avengers who died in ''Far From Home'']], and in ''Series/WandaVision'', it's explained that [[spoiler: his living will made it explicitly clear that he did ''not'' want to be resurrected or turned into a weapon. Unfortunately, S.W.O.R.D did exactly that under Project "Cataract"]].
* FullFrontalAssault: He emerges (sans clothing) from the Cradle and lunges at Thor. After he gazes at his reflection in the window, he calms down and forms a green suit out of himself.
* GlamourFailure: ''Infinity War'' shows that Vision is capable of projecting a completely human appearance over himself, but the one thing that gives him away is the Mind Stone's faint glow under the skin of his forehead.
* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: In ''[=WandaVision=]'' [[spoiler:his resurrected body has noticeably pale glowing blue eyes.]]
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Gives Wanda a pained smile during his SenselessSacrifice to comfort her.]]
* GoodCounterpart: To Ultron; he describes himself as being on the side of "life" while Ultron represents destruction. He was intended to be Ultron's final body before the Avengers interfered and loaded J.A.R.V.I.S. into it. It's best shown when Ultron confronts him at the end, with Vision admitting that he believes they may be flawed, but HumansAreSpecial.
* GoodIsNotSoft:
** In ''Age of Ultron'' he may empathize with Ultron's confusion and cynicism, but he also recognizes that said confusion and cynicism compels Ultron to destroy the world, and Vision won't allow that.
** In ''Civil War'' he doesn't hesitate to use his powers to keep Wanda at home and support the Pro-Registration team.
** In ''Infinity War'' he has no problem impaling Corvus Glaive to keep him from killing Steve Rogers.
** In ''[=WandaVision=]'' he gets very angry when he finds out [[spoiler:Wanda has been brainwashing an entire town of people, floating over her and shouting in a way he's never done before.]]
* HasTwoDaddies: Has '''four''' daddies, to be exact. His consciousness is a combination of Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Ultron and J.A.R.V.I.S overlays, fused into one autonomous being by the Mind Stone.
* HenpeckedHusband: [[spoiler: Becomes a ''very'' dark example of this in ''Series/WandaVision''. Though Vision slowly starts to realize what Wanda is forcing upon him and the citizens of Westview, he finds himself unable to do much but play along.]]
* HeroAntagonist: Towards Captain America and the Anti-Registration team in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''.
* HeroicSacrifice: As the holder of the Mind Stone, Vision wishes that Wanda kills him by destroying the Stone, stopping Thanos from taking all the Infinity Stones. [[spoiler:With great anguish, Wanda does destroy the Mind Stone and causes Vision's death in the process, but then Thanos undoes Vision's sacrifice with the Time Stone.]]
* HumansAreFlawed: He agrees with Ultron that humans are "doomed" and considers them odd.
* HumansAreSpecial: At the same time, he says that there is grace to humans and that he is privileged to be among them.
* HumanDisguise:
** In ''Infinity War'', Vision disguises his robotic nature and appears human to walk on the streets without attracting attention.
** In ''Wandavision'' Wanda uses magic to help him blend in with their suburban neighborhood.
* IcyBlueEyes: [[spoiler:After his body is brought back without the Mind Stone in ''[=WandaVision=]'' his eyes become a cold glowing blue.]]
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: He’s pure of heart and worthy to wield Mjolnir, and he even describes himself as being on the side of life itself. While he can make mistakes and isn’t afraid to resort to violence, he has thus far never committed an action out of spite or selfishness. In ''[=WandaVision=]'', [[spoiler: when he manages to escape the Hex, and is slowly being destroyed, he calls out for help, not for himself, but for the others trapped inside. And when he's told what has happened to Wanda in a very short amount of time, as frustrated as he is with her, he goes off to be by her side]].
* InstantCostumeChange: Vision is able to cosmetically alter his form at will, first by changing most of his pigment to simulate clothing, then generating a cape from thin air.
* {{Intangibility}}:
** The Vision puts his power to phase through matter to good use in both mundane life (like walking through walls) and during combat. Ant-Man is especially confused when he tries to grab the android and he just phases through his body. It fails to protect Vision against Wanda, however, and she reverses the process to make him heavy enough to fall through the floors of the Avengers building.
** In ''Civil War'', he demonstrates that he can make part of his body intangible while other parts remain solid -- he grabs Clint's bow while letting an arrow pass right through his chest.
* {{Irony}}: In the comics, Vision is well known [[DeathIsCheap for being destroyed in battle and resurrected without problem]], owing to his mechanical nature as an android, which is something no one seems to mind. [[spoiler: Here, not only is Vision's death final, but he has an explicit will to not revive him in any form.]]
* ItIsDehumanizing: In ''Age of Ultron'', some of the Avengers (Cap and Iron Man) refer to Vision as an "it", while Thor addresses Vision as "he" from the start. By ''Infinity War'', everyone's treating him as a "he". [[spoiler:Meanwhile S.W.O.R.D director Hayward has never regarded him as anything more than an asset, openly calling Vision "it" even in the presence of a grieving Wanda]]
* JustAMachine: Downplayed, but Vision's will explicitly states that if he dies, he is to be laid to rest, not rebuilt or resurrected. [[spoiler:S.W.O.R.D. cheerfully disregards said will and spends who knows how long taking him apart for science.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Despite the mass-resurrections in ''Endgame'', Vision doesn't get to come back to life by virtue of the fact that he wasn't killed by the Snap, and thus his death wasn't undone. In ''Series/WandaVision'', he appears to be something of a Schrödinger's Cat, alive and dead at the same time. A version of him exists as a construct made from Wanda's chaos magic who can only survive inside the Hex, while his corpse has been resurrected as a cold unfeeling weapon under S.W.O.R.D's control]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: After being resurrected in ''[=WandaVision=]'', Vision is unable to remember anything before coming to Westview with his wife. He takes notice of this in Episode 5, and demands to Wanda why this is. The following two episodes show that Vision's amnesia is so great that he doesn't even know how he was created, how he died, or even what an Avenger is. As it turns out, it's because he was created by Wanda as part of the Hex to be her husband, without any memories beyond that purpose.]]
* LiteralMinded: As befits someone with a computer mind. Wanda chides him for entering her room by phasing through the wall and he sheepishly responds that the door was open, implying she had previously given him this condition for entering but that he failed to make the correlation between the door being open and ''using'' the door. He picks up on his mistake seconds later.
* LogicalWeakness: Magic and-energy based attacks can temporarily cripple him, since he is an android composed of synthetic flesh. He is susceptible to electrical attacks for a similar reason, as Hawkeye finds out, and Wanda is able to temporarily negate the Mind Stone and force him into submission during her escape from the Avengers compound in ''Civil War'' due to her being gifted powers by the same stone. As shown in ''Infinity War'', he is also not immune to sneak attacks, or to weapons that are stronger than Vibranium. So when he gets badly hurt via both of these, he cannot maintain his powers due to his injuries.
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:To Wanda, post-resurrection. Because he wasn't Snapped, he ''stays dead'', and that weighs very heavily on her. She promptly takes that rage out on Thanos.]] And then, in ''[=WandaVision=]'', she [[spoiler: brings him back. Sort of.]]
* MacGuffinSuperPerson: In ''Avengers: Infinity War'', the inclusion of the Mind Stone in his anatomy ultimately means that Thanos '''will''' have to kill or mutilate him to complete the Infinity Gauntlet. [[spoiler:This comes to pass when Thanos tears the Mind Stone directly from his forehead, killing him in the process.]]
* {{Magitek}}: He's a synthetic android created with an Infinity Stone in his forehead and powered up by Thor's lightning.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Vision's worthiness to wield Mjölnir is disputed InUniverse. Thor is firmly of the opinion that he's worthy in the metaphysical sense, but Tony argues that he's able to lift it because he's artificial, and so it's no different from the hammer lying in an elevator on the way up.
* MeaningfulName: Both Ultron and Thor cite having a "vision" in the impetus of his creation.
* MundaneUtility: By ''Civil War'', he's grown so used to his intangibility that he's casually walking through walls all willy-nilly, much to [[NoodleIncident Scarlet Witch's chagrin]], and has to consciously stop himself in order to simply walk through a door.
* TheNeedless: Being an android, Vision doesn't actually need to eat. This bites him in both in ''Civil War'', where he doesn't know how to properly cook a meal, and in ''[=WandaVision=]'', where he has to make up reasons why he can't eat or drink anything when in the company of his neighbors. The latter show also establishes that while he ''can'' breathe when in public, Vision doesn't actually have to do so if there's no one around.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: In [=WandaVision=], Vision is mentioned to have the ability to move at the speed of sound, something that were never hinted at or demonstrated in previous [=MCU=] outings. He demonstrates this proper in the series' third episode, showing that it works very similarly to Pietro's SuperSpeed.
* NiceGuy: The Vision stands out as a gentlemanly, empathetic, and philosophical being willing to fight to protect innocent lives. He even sympathizes with Ultron's anguish, although he's under no illusions regarding the need to kill the rampaging AI.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In an attempt to stop Falcon from driving off War Machine and Iron Man, he fires an extremely powerful laser at Falcon's harness to slow him down. It ends up being strong enough to tear through War Machine's armor, shutting it down in midair and leading to his paralysis.
* NighInvulnerability: Having Vibranium incorporated right into his cells means he is potentially the physically toughest Avenger besides a fully enraged Hulk or the Asgardian Thor. It takes the might and weaponry of Corvus Glaive, a child of Thanos, to bring him down.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[spoiler: As revealed in Episode 4 of ''[=WandaVision=]'', the latter two seem to apply to him now, as he seems to have had his corpse magically reanimated within Westview. After Episode 8, it turns out neither of them really apply to the version of him in the Hex, but would definitely apply to his resurrected corpse in S.W.O.R.D. custody.]]
* NotAfraidToDie: In ''Infinity War'', Vision shows little reluctance when the subject of killing him is brought up, knowing that his death will prevent the Mind Stone from falling into Thanos' hands. He's stopped from going through with it because his teammates believe he can still live without the Mind Stone.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: When Wanda tries gaslighting him about the strangeness of Westview and her treatment of the townsfolk one too many times, Vision practically ''explodes'' in rage, correctly pointing out that what she's doing to both him and the citizens of Westview is wrong. Wanda is utterly gobsmacked by his reaction, noting how Vision never acted like this towards her before.]]
* OfficialCouple: Vision and Wanda have become a couple during the time between ''Civil War'' and ''Infinity War'', meeting up with each other for romantic holidays.
* OneHeadTaller: He's the tallest Avenger (Creator/PaulBettany is 6' 3¼" \ 1,91 m!) and paired with the average-sized Wanda (5' 6" \ 1,68 m).
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: He's among the select few individuals shown to be worthy of wielding an enchanted Mjölnir besides its creator Odin, its intended users, Thor and Hela, [[spoiler:and Steve Rogers]].
* OrganicTechnology: His body is made from synthetic cells that mimic organic tissue, much like the comic books' [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Horton_Cells Horton cells]]. Except here, his cells are bonded with ''[[NighInvulnerable Vibranium]]''.
* OhCrap: He clearly freaks out when Thanos [[spoiler: undoes his death before killing him again.]]
* OutOfFocus: Other than Quicksilver, who was only in one film, he gets the least amount of focus of any of the Avengers, only appearing in three films total, and only having a large role in one. He's introduced towards the end of ''Age of Ultron'', and only plays a minor role in ''Civil War''. ''Infinity War'' is the only film that gives him a decent chunk of story time, and even then, he spends most of it damaged and unable to show most of his power [[spoiler:and ends with him getting destroyed. Along with Heimdall, he's the only hero whose death in ''Infinity War'' sticks in ''Endgame'', and he's the only major character of the franchise to no-show in said film as a result. Even Loki and Gamora appeared as alternate versions of themselves. Vision does come back to the spotlight in ''Series/WandaVision'', albeit as a PosthumousCharacter - and even then, it's only a facsimile of him created by Wanda's powers]].
* TheParagon: He earns the team's instant trust when he is able to effortlessly lift Mjölnir, automatically declaring him moral without flaw and a bigger force of good than even Captain America.
* PatrickStewartSpeech: He delivers one at the end of ''Age Of Ultron'' when the BigBad asks why he would bother protecting humans. It serves as his section quote.
* ThePhilosopher: Even directly after his creation, he shows an introspective, soft-spoken personality that shows some very complex moral stances (to the point where he initially doesn't believe himself to be on the Avengers' side because he's on ''life in general's'' side).
* PhysicalGod: He's powered by the Mind Stone, one of the Infinity Stones. That's several magnitudes higher than an arc reactor.
* PowerCrystal: He has the Mind Stone embedded on his forehead. It's one of the catalysts of his powerful intellect and near-technopath abilities, and lets him shoot a yellow laser beam too.
* PygmalionSnapback: While investigating the oddities of ''[=WandaVision=]'', Vision is revealed to be able to undo the mind control that Wanda has established over the citizens of Westview, which he uses to comfort Abilash and Agnes before putting them back under, and later uses it on Darcy to get information on the outside world and as accompaniment to Wanda's house. [[spoiler:Though it's subverted in the case of Agnes, as it turns out she was faking her brainwashing.]]
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Plays the part in ''[=WandaVision=]'', [[BritishStuffiness where he is almost unfailingly polite,]] [[SharpDressedMan wears classy period-appropriate clothing at all times]], has a clear British accent, [[SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish and is very scholarly,]] as shown by his attempt at reading Charles Darwin's works to his young children and naming one of his sons after William Shakespeare.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: Vision [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this when Ultron calls him naive for being on the side of humanity, having been created the night before the Battle of Sokovia.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:S.W.O.R.D was looking at reviving him to make him into their weapon. Wanda averted this fate by storming their headquarters and stealing his remains. Except it turned out that she didn't, and S.W.O.R.D. ends up succeeding.]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Tony creates the Vision from the same Mind Gem by combining it with JARVIS, creating an even more extremely life-like robot who has intense empathy and love for humans and other living beings, to the point that he can lift Mjolnir. The Vision later proves just how human-like he is in ''Avengers: Infinity War when he goes AWOL and Tony can't find him. Turns out that the reason is that he's hiding out and shacking up with his girlfriend Scarlet Witch.
* SculptedPhysique: He is an android whose body looks like a human sculpture.
* SenselessSacrifice: Vision sacrifices himself by letting Wanda destroy his Mind Stone, ensuring that Thanos can't acquire it and complete his Infinity Stone collection. She succeeds, but Thanos uses the Time Stone to completely rewind Vision's body exploding, and rips it out of his head himself.
* SharpDressedMan: In ''Series/WandaVision'', Vision wears a dashing business suit when heading off to work.
* ShipTease: With Wanda. Deliberate scenes are shown with Wanda staring intently at Vision over two scenes when he is speaking with Thor, and near the end Vision is the one who finds her and rescues her from the falling city where they stare into each other's eyes for a moment, and she ''keeps staring'' as they fly off. That last scene has been confirmed in an [[http://www.craveonline.com/film/interviews/850597-avengers-age-ultron-paul-bettany-vision-second-chances/2 interview]] with Paul Bettany as being a "a nod and a wink" to the Scarlet Witch and Vision's [[RoboticSpouse romantic relationship]] and otherwise [[TangledFamilyTree complicated history]] in the comics. ''Civil War'' sees more of this, with Vision keeping her company while she's under house arrest and him saying he wants the world to see Wanda as he sees her. After Wanda is downed in the airport fight, he immediately goes to her and apologizes to her that it came to this. Outright confirmed in ''Infinity War''.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Marvel went through great lengths to make sure the character was a surprise to mainstream audiences. He's completely absent from the first two trailers of ''Age of Ultron'', only appears for a few seconds in the third, and was generally either absent or downplayed on most of the theatrical posters. Though, in April of 2015, the month before the release of the film, he started making more prominent appearances and got his own character poster.
* TheSmartGuy: Of the [[ThePhilosopher philosophical]] kind, although he's no slouch at science either given he's an android. It helps that he possesses the power of the Mind Stone and that the basis of his personality is a highly intelligent A.I.
* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: He has a British accent since he was created from J.A.R.V.I.S and he is a highly intelligent Synthoid.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:RareMaleExample. He dies twice in ''Infinity War'', first by a MercyKill from his lover Wanda and second by Thanos reversing said death so he can take the Mind Stone which kills him again, and doesn't get resurrected in ''Endgame''. The only time he's ever mentioned (and not even by name) is when an angry Wanda unleashes all of her powers upon Thanos for taking away everything she loves. It even happens again in [=WandaVision=], when seeing Vision's body cut up by SWORD enrages Wanda enough for her to create a massive illusion that includes a Vision facsimile.]]
* SuperIntelligence: He is based on a highly advanced A.I. and has the power of the Mind Stone.
* SuperSpeed: In ''[=WandaVision=]'' he is stated to be capable of moving at the speed of sound, which is shown in episode 3 to apply to his running speed.
* SuperStrength: Able to tear through the Ultron robots very quickly. He also sends Hawkeye flying with a one-handed shove, slices an oncoming bus in half simply by standing in front of it, and knocks Giant-Man off his feet.
* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', he was cordial and polite towards the Anti-Registration team during the battle and even came to Wanda's aid after defeating her.
* SympathyForTheDevil: He tells the Avengers that he doesn't want to destroy Ultron because he's unique, and you can tell he feels sorry for the creature in their last conversation. However, because Ultron is so psychotic, Vision says destroying him is really the only way to stop him.
* ThatManIsDead: He's very gentle in saying it, but he's quick to explain that he is most definitely not J.A.R.V.I.S. {{Justified}}, because he actually ''isn't'' J.A.R.V.I.S; as explained in ''Infinity War'', his mind is a complex mixture of J.A.R.V.I.S, Ultron, and the Mind Stone, among other things.
* TheseusShipParadox: Discussed; while Vision sounds like J.A.R.V.I.S and is primarily composed of him (and played by the same actor as J.A.R.V.I.S), he maintains he is not J.A.R.V.I.S, as he is also comprised of pieces of Ultron and the Mind Stone.
** Then again invoked in ''Series/WandaVision'', [[spoiler:as the Hex-construct Vision confronts the resurrected white Vision. The conundrum is even tempting enough to interrupt the MirrorMatch between the two.]]
* TokenNonHuman: The only ArtificialHuman in the Avengers and the only non-human after Thor left.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: The Vision is, without question, the purest, most noble, and angelic hero introduced into the series thus far, so it's only natural that his death--twice over--should mark the DarkestHour for the Avengers.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Vision is noticeably more enthusiastic and animated in ''Series/WandaVision'' than he was in the mainline movies. Though given that he's doing his best to live a normal life in a small town in America, it's somewhat justified.
* UnexplainedRecovery: The first scene in ''Series/WandaVision'' begins InMediasRes, starting off with a scene of him driving his wife Wanda home. The fact that he was destroyed by Thanos in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' is not addressed at all, and is one of many signs that things are not as they seem in Westview. Those outside the town definitely notice, though, and it's a key point in their ongoing investigation of the town. [[spoiler:In episode 4, we are treated to the lovely image of what seems to be his ''reanimated corpse''. And then episode 8 reveals that the Vision in Westview is not the corpse itself (which Wanda decided to leave behind after she saw how SWORD had him cut up in an attempt to revive him), but a recreation made out of her powers alongside the massive illusion that engulfed the town]].
* WillfullyWeak: In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''. He's certainly the most powerful member of Team Iron Man, but his [[AllLovingHero moral beliefs]] mean he has no desire to take a life or hurt anyone. As a result, most of his contributions in the big battle are support. The one time he cuts loose -- ''accidentally'', at that -- he nearly kills Sam and winds up one-shotting one of his own teammates.
* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler:As a result of being impaled by Corvus Glaive, the Vision spends the bulk of ''Infinity War'' injured and much less powerful than he normally is. He still manages to put up a solid fight against Glaive on two separate occasions, and even succeeds in killing him, but it's clearly more difficult than it would have been if Vision had been at full strength. The damage he sustains also leaves him virtually helpless to stop Thanos from tearing the Mind Stone from his forehead and killing him, since he is unable to phase.]]
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: A few moments after being born, he takes the time to gaze in apparent wonder at the New York City skyline. It's this that seems to make the Avengers pause before attacking him and talking things through.
-->'''Vision:''' A thing is not beautiful because it lasts.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: In ''Infinity War'', he gets impaled by Corvus Glaive's spear which is somehow capable of piercing him even in intangible form. Though he manages to survive, he spends the rest of the movie incapacitated because of this injury.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Although created in an adult form, he's "born" in ''Ultron'' and has his first birthday a few days before the events of ''Civil War''.
