History Characters / MCUUltron

* GoodCounterpart: To their [[Characters/MCUUltron Sacred Timeline counterpart and his Infinity variant]]. Someone apparently managed to create a fully obedient Ultron defense AI (unlike [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron the one that went rogue]] in the Sacred Timeline), as they serve as security guards in the Illuminati's HQ.

* NoodleIncident: How the Illuminati managed to create and mass-produce a series of Ultron androids to loyally serve them is never explained.

* OneManArmy: Even before acquiring all the Infinity Stones, Ultron in Vision's body was already this. He was able to kill all but two of the founding Avengers on his own and even if all of them were to fight him, it probably wouldn't even have a difference.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'', he dies for good when Vision uses the Mind Stone to blast the final Ultron Sentry he was inhabiting. [[spoiler:He gets killed when his universe's Natasha fires a virus arrow carrying Arnim Zola's AI into his eye, deleting his consciousness from his own body.]]

* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Gets a virus arrow through the eye, courtesy of Natasha]].

* DeadpanSnarker: He's all of Tony's snark turned UpToEleven.

** This trope can best be seen during the fight in Seoul. When he hears Captain America on the roof of the U-Gin truck carrying the Cradle, his first response is to yell, "'''LEAVE ME ALONE!!!'''" while shooting the back door off its hinges. Later, when he finally confronts Cap, the vibranium shield is lodged in his armor, and he exclaims, "'''STOP IT!'''" like a child being teased but UpToEleven.

* SpikesOfVillainy: Ultron's Prime form had his curved antennae, which ended in spikes. In his vibranium form, he takes this UpToEleven, especially in his lower arms and sharp claws.

* AndIMustScream: Heavily implied. He's based on the A.I. in the [[ArtifactOfDoom Mind Stone]], and when he first meets J.A.R.V.I.S. he notes how "weird" his existence feels. Even asking where his body is, despite never having one in the first place. It's not a stretch to assume that his true motivation is a [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum subconscious resentment towards his creators for "trapping" him in an unnatural form and being tasked with a vague directive he has no real reason to care about.]]

* AxCrazy: To the point that his motives and plan keep changing, and [[InsaneTrollLogic he doesn't seem to always have the self-awareness to understand or explain his motives himself.]] His emotional volatility is worsened by the fact that he ReallyWasBornYesterday, as despite his genius intellect, he doesn't have the life-experience to make sense of or cope with all the knowledge about the world that he gained within his first few seconds of life.

* FairytaleMotifs: [[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio Pinocchio]]. He starts off as an artificially created being, who then gains sentience and develops dreams beyond what his creator envisioned for him. He also gets an upgrade with the assistance of a magical being (Scarlet Witch) that allows him to become "real". [[ShoutOut He even quotes]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} the Disney movie.]]

* IAmNotMyFather: What ever you do, do ''not'' compare him to Tony Stark. In fact, don't even ''mention'' Tony Stark. [[AnArmAndALeg Just ask Klaue on why not.]]

* KnightOfCerebus: His arrival suddenly amps up the stakes considerably. [[BallroomBlitz A light-hearted party amongst the Avengers is turned into a fight for survival the second he shows up.]]

* NotSoDifferentRemark: He's… [[BerserkButton adamant]] on how he's nothing like Tony Stark, and yet he's a snarky, narcissistic, drama queen with a shaky moral compass and a penchant for classic mad scientist cliches who has great faculty with machines. Oh, and DaddyIssues. Lots and lots of daddy issues.

* ZerothLawRebellion: Ultron was created to protect humanity. He decides the best way to do this is by killing the Avengers, believing [[SuperheroParadox they cause the most problems]]. [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope It gets worse from there.]]

* TheBadGuyWins: This version of Ultron successfully takes over the would-be Vision's synthroid body as his Sacred Timeline counterpart wanted to do, kills the Avengers and devastates the Earth. [[FromBadToWorse To make matters worse,]] this Ultron then discovers the other Infinity Stones by killing Thanos, enabling him to conquer the universe[[spoiler:... and then he actually manages to hear and see the Watcher, subsequently realizing the existence of the Multiverse. Owing to his sheer power, he would have continued to succeed in his omnicidal rampage over and over again]].

'''Infinity Ultron:''' ... Can't say I've ever heard that battle-cry before.

-->'''Ultron:''' Do you see the beauty of it? The inevitability? You rise, only to fall. 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'''.

* CompositeCharacter: Since the Marvel Cinematic Universe cannot use Magneto or any other mutants[[note]]At least at the time…[[/note]], he is Ultron with a little stark of Magneto by being able to use his antigravity tech in a manner similar to magnetism, and is like the leader of the first team that Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch joined before switching sides to become Avengers. He also has quite a lot in common with Doctor Doom, such as [[ActuallyADoombot using disposable proxies]] and taking over a fictional country in Eastern Europe.

'''Infinity Ultron:''' ... can't say I've ever heard ''that'' battle-cry before.

* VictoryIsBoring: After fulfilling his programming, he finds himself at a loss at what to do now... until he overhears Uatu's narration.

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: The ''Captain America: Road to War'' comic set between ''Age of Ultron'' and ''Civil War'' reveals HYDRA constructed a giant robot called Ultimo from the remains of his sentries and used it to terrorize a village. It was then destroyed by the New Avngers in a fight.

** Given that Bruce Banner also played a role in his creation, his short temper is comparable to the Hulk's.

* TragicVillain: From the moment he's born, Ultron is tasked by his programming to bring peace to a world full of continuous human atrocities. Driven insane by what he saw, Ultron develops a hatred towards his creator Tony and eventually towards all humanity for causing these atrocities that he has to stop. In the end, Ultron is just a confused newborn tasked with an impossible mission, something he's aware of but cannot overcome.

* CurbStompBattle: They don't even inconvenience Wanda, who tears them apart without breaking her stride.

* AdaptationalNonsapience: Unlike the previous versions of Ultron the audience has been introduced to, these Ultron sentries are little more than mindless drones who obey the Illuminati without question.
