The Vision is a MarvelComics superhero created by Roy Thomas and John Buscema. A synthetic humanoid built from the remains of the android Human Torch, the Vision made his debut in ''The Avengers #57'' (October, 1968) as a creation of the super-villain {{Ultron}}. The Vision is convinced to rebel against his creator after encountering Comicbook/TheAvengers, who invite him to join the team. Named by the TheWasp, who described him as an "unearthly, inhuman vision", the Vision becomes one of Avengers' longest-serving members until his death during ''Avengers Disassembled''. This went to the point in the 1970s when ''The Avengers'' standard cover masthead picture in the left hand corner was ''just him''. He came BackFromTheDead a few years later and once again features in Avengers books.

!!Tropes seen in these series include:
* BattleCouple: Vision and ScarletWitch
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In ''The Vision and the Scarlet Witch'', it was his suggestion that Wanda use magic to make herself pregnant. That one suggestion became the basis for ''years'' of [[TraumaCongaLine traumatic stories]] for both of them.
* BecomingTheCostume: Three trick-or-treaters were transformed into a ghost, a goblin, and a Jack O'Lantern headed monster in ''The Vision and the Scarlet Witch #1'' after Samhein escapes from the Druid Tome.
* BestServedCold: Dr. I.S. Bishoff, aka [[spoiler: the supervillain Isbisa]], waited thirty years to take revenge on Robert Frank.
* BlindedByTheLight: The Vision can emit a flash of solar energy from his forehead jewel bright enough to temporarily blind [[TheMightyThor Thor]].
* BoomHeadshot: Battling three children transformed into their costumes during Halloween, the Vision violently blasts the pumpkinheaded "Jack O'Lantern" right in the head, blasting it into pieces. Instead of killing the child, the shot actually broke the spell and returned the child to normal.
* BrainUploading: The Vision originally possessed the brain patterns of Simon Williams, the then-deceased hero known as WonderMan. Later, after the U.S. government dismantles him, the rebuilt Vision would use the brain patterns of the dead scientist Alex Lipton until Simon's patterns reemerge.
* TheChewToy: Because he can always be rebuilt or have his memories restored, he gets killed a lot. In ''[[{{Jla-Avengers}} JLA/Avengers]]'' he's the only hero who [[HeroicSacrifice appears to be dead]] at the end, and his friends barely show any concern, with Thor telling Superman that the Avengers scientists have fixed him before and can do it again.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: An earlier example, the Vision's features were modeled on LeonardNimoy.
* TheComputerIsYourFriend
* ContinuitySnarl: Was the Vision's body rebuilt from the 1940's Human Torch? ''ComicBook/AvengersForever'' spends an inordinate amount of time untangling this question. (The answer: [[spoiler: Immortus used AppliedPhlebotinum to allow the Human Torch's body to exist twice in the same timeline, one of which was used to build the Vision and the other of which remained the Torch.]])
* EmptyShell: Averted. Ultron-5 designed the Vision to be a "nameless, soulless imitation", but the synthezoid's time with the Avengers gave him a name and a purpose. Vision did spend a brief period in TheNineties as an Empty Shell after being taken apart and rebuilt.
* EyeBeams: The Vision can fire solar energy beams from his "thermo-scopic eyes".
* FantasticRacism: The Vision ran into a group of angry citizens in ''Avengers #59'' who claimed that he was too "awful" to walk the streets with "decent folk". One woman shielded her child with her body while an older man said that "crummy androids" should be strung up by their jumper cables.
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: Moving into a new neightborhood after leaving the Avengers, the Vision and Wanda had a good laugh in ''The Vision and Scarlet Witch #1'' once the townpeople felt comfortable enough to approach the couple. The night: Halloween.
* {{Flight}}: Vision can fly by lowering his density to minimal levels.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Vision experiences this at the hands of {{She-Hulk}} during ''Avengers Disassembled''.
* HeelFaceTurn
* HeroicSacrifice: In ''JLA/Avengers'' and ''Chaos War''.
* HollywoodDensity
* IntangibleMan: Possessing complete density control, the Vision can shunt enough of his mass into another dimension to become completely intangible.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Comatose after the battle with Dr. I.S. Bishoff, the Vision's dreams are explored in ''The Vision and the Scarlet Witch #3''.
* MadeOfIron / NighInvulnerable: The Vision's durability depends on his density. At his maximum density, the Vision weighs 90 tons and becomes as hard as diamond.
* ManInWhite: The Vision spent some time as a ghostly white version of himself after his skin was damaged by the U.S. government. Having lost his personality matrix prior to his reconstruction, the Vision was rendered cold and emotionless during this period.
* MindControlDevice: Ultron-5 installed a control crystal in Vision's head that has been exploited over the years.
* NotSoDifferent: Ultron-5 was destroyed by its own rage after taunting the Vision for having emotions.
--> '''Vision''': You ridiculed me for having emotions yet you possess them no less than I! Or else you would not have leaped at me in your rage to your own utter annihilation!
* TheParalyzer: Called "physical disruption", the Vision can stun opponents by solidifying part of his intangible form inside their bodies to produce a sudden shock to the nervous system and excruciating pain.
* PhlebotinumBattery: The Vision is solar-powered and functions something like a solar battery, capable of sharing his power reserves during emergencies.
* PowerCrystal: The Vision has a solar jewel on his [[ThirdEye forehead]] that absorbs ambient solar energy, even at night. Solar energy can be fired from this jewel at greater intensity than his eye beams, but it taxes his power supply at a higher rate.
* PowerParasite: Dr. I.S. Bishoff from ''The Vision and the Scarlet Witch #2'' siphons radioactive energy from the superpowered manchild Nuklo in order to seek revenge against the child's father, Robert Frost.
* ProjectedMan: The Vision temporarily assumed a holographic form after his physical body was paralyzed during a battle with Annihilus.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: From ''Avengers #57'':
--> '''Hank Pym''': According to my examination, he's every inch a human being... except that all his bodily organs are constructed of synthetic materials!
* {{Robosexual}}: The Vision has been in relationships with the Scarlet Witch, MsMarvel, and Mantis.
* TheSmartGuy
* SpeedBlitz: The Vision once stunned half a dozen escaped prisoners by flying through their bodies faster than they could react, ending the blitz with a full-density punch to the villain Klaw.
* TheStoic
* SuicideAttack: During ''Chaos War'', the Vision defeats super-villain Grim Reaper in this manner.
* SuperReflexes: Vision's reflexes are more than twice as fast as the average human.
* SuperSenses: Of the technological variety, naturally.
* SuperStrength: The Vision's strength increases with his density, maxing out at 75 tons.
* TangledFamilyTree
* {{Technopath}}
* TenMinuteRetirement
* TomeOfEldritchLore: An ancient, leather-clad book called the Druid Tome appears in ''The Vision and the Scarlet Witch #1''. The tome held the spirit of Samhein, who escaped from the book on All Hallows Eve after sensing the Scarlet Witch's power.
* VoiceChangeling: The Vision can replicate nearly any voice he's heard.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman
* WhyIsntItAttacking: In ''The Avengers #57'', ComicBook/BlackPanther noticed that the Vision was programmed to kill the Avengers, but the synthezoid wasn't actually making any moves against the team.
* WorkingWithTheEx: After his marriage with the Scarlet Witch goes south, the two Avengers worked together off and on.
* XanatosGambit: Ultron-5's plan regarding the Vision had two intended outcomes: the Vision kills the Avengers or the Vision leads the Avengers into a death trap. The Vision [[TakeAThirdOption takes a third option]], but Ultron ''still'' wins thanks to the control crystal in the synthezoid's head.
