[[folder:The Vision Family]]
!!General Tropes
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The synthezoids' neighbors are suspicious of them, and at least one wants them to leave town. Vin and Viv are outsiders at school. The children's principal still sees the synthezoids as dangerous and subhuman "guns", even though Vision has helped save the world over three dozen times.
* AlliterativeFamily: All their names begin with "Vi" in an alliterative fashion.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: All four have magenta skin.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The synthezoids love each other and are polite to their neighbors. However, they are all capable of shocking violence if provoked.
* CannotDream: The synthezoids shut down during the night so that their systems can process the previous day's input, but they do not dream.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Viv slams her fist through the staircase when brawling with Vin. Virginia accidentally smashes the kitchen table out of anxiety when law enforcement questions Vision.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The synthezoids endure suspicion, threats, and hate crimes because they're different from those living around them. One can draw parallels between anti-synthezoid bigotry and racism.
* FantasticRacism: The Vision family endures this as synthezoids living among suspicious and sometimes hostile humans. In one issue, vandals spray-paints "Go Home Socket Lovers" on their garage door. In another issue, the Grim Reaper tries to kill Virginia, Viv, and Vin out of hatred. Virginia beats him to death before he can succeed.
* FantasticSlurs: Vandals spray paints "Go Home Socket Lovers" on their house, picked out of the search results for "bad names for robots". The principal at Vin and Viv's school refers to the synthezoids as "guns".
* FlyingFirepower: The synthezoids can levitate and fly, as well as fire lasers from the jewels in their foreheads.
* MagicPants: Justified in that the synthezoids wear "clothes that phase" to preserve their modesty when they phase out.
* MonochromaticEyes: Their eyes are white with no irises or pupils.
* TheNeedless: They don't require food or water. While they do shut down at night so that their systems can process the day's events, they don't technically need sleep.
* NuclearFamily: A father, a mother, and [[UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn male-female twins]]. Invoked by Vision, who created them so he could live as "normal" a life as possible.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Their speech is stilted compared to baseline humans, and their vocabulary is much larger.
* SuperStrength: All four synthezoids have amplified strength.
* TraumaCongaLine: The family suffers one misfortune after another, each more horrifying than the next.
* UncannyValley: Human onlookers InUniverse find them unsettling and inhuman.
!!The Vision
A synthezoid man who fights alongside the Avengers and serves as the Avenger's liaison to the President.
For tropes pertaining to him before and after this series, see Characters/Avengers60sMembers.
----
* AffectionateNickname: In flashbacks, Scarlet Witch affectionately calls Vision a "toaster", in reference to a joke he made. During an argument, she also calls him this as an insult.
* BadassBoast: Vision delivers one to Principal Waxman after he disrespects Vision's family members.
-->'''Vision:''' I am the Vision of the Avengers. I have saved this planet ''thirty-seven'' times. Each day you live, each breath you take, each beat of your heart, ''each'' is due to my actions. Thirty-seven times over.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a stoic family man who also [[spoiler:effortlessly defeated multiple Avengers and nearly killed Victor.]]
* CreatingLifeIsAwesome: Zig-zagged. Vision clearly cares about his new family, as suggested by his frantic efforts to repair Viv and his willingness to protect Virginia [[spoiler:when the truth of her killing comes to light.]] However, Vision secretly felt fear when Virginia opened her eyes for the first time. He has to remind himself that Virginia is his wife and he ''has'' to love her.
* CrisisOfFaith: Vision finds no solace in philosophical or religious traditions after [[spoiler: Vin's death.]] However, he does pray with Viv to comfort his daughter and himself.
-->'''Vision:''' I have spent this time thinking about my brother, Victor Mancha.(...) And I have rigorously applied those scenarios to a variety of philosophical and religious traditions. Despite my efforts, unfortunately, I cannot see how, in any scenario, in any philosophical or religious tradition, this current outcome is just. I must therefore conclude that it is not just. And what is not just must be addressed.
* DarkSecret: He agrees to keep the events surrounding [[spoiler:Virginia's killing and failed blackmail]] a secret to protect his family.
* DependingOnTheArtist: In contemporaneous comic books from the ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentAvengers'', such as ''Ms. Marvel'' and ''Nova'', Vision is muscular. In this comic book, he's lanky.
* {{Determinator}}: As [[spoiler:Agatha Harkness]] observes, Vision will stop at ''nothing'' to protect his family.
* FatalFlaw:
** Vision's hunger for normalcy (or the appearance thereof) leads him to make ethically questionable decisions.
** The comic implies that Vision created a synthezoid family because he longs to relive his old life with Scarlet Witch. His greatest flaw is that he cannot let go of the memory of his first love.
* FieryCoverup: Virginia [[spoiler:buried Grim Reaper's remains in the backyard]]. When George stops by the synthezoids' house, he sees a furrow carved into the backyard, and readers will notice that the dead body is missing. It's strongly implied that Vision [[spoiler:burned Grim Reaper's body with a blast from his forehead crystal.]]
* HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:The series ends with Vision raising Viv alone, after Vin's death and Virginia's suicide.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He creates Virginia, Viv, and Vin so that he can have a family, but as they all discover, normalcy is beyond their reach.
-->'''Agatha:''' Vision thought he could make a family. A happy, normal family. It was merely a matter of calculation. The right formula, shortcut, algorithm. What a shock then to (...) discover that it was all beyond him.
* IgnoredEpiphany: In spite of all the evidence that he and his kind will never truly integrate into "normal" human society, [[spoiler:Vision tells Scarlet Witch that he still wants to be normal in issue #11.]]
* MundaneUtility: Issue #8 shows him melting snow with his forehead laser.
* NotSoAboveItAll: As their love scene shows, Vision's stoicism is no match for Virginia's feminine charms.
* OldFlame: He was previously married to Scarlet Witch. The comic implies that he created his synthezoid family because he's trying to recreate his old life with her.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring:
** He's terrified when he nearly [[spoiler:loses Viv.]]
** The last page of issue #9 shows [[spoiler:Vision holding Vin's dead body, begging his son to wake up after Victor kills him.]]
* PapaWolf: When Tony Stark is about to [[spoiler:shut off the power Vision is using to revive Viv, fearful that it will kill Vision,]] Vision threatens him into refraining.
-->'''Vision''': Tony Stark, you are my colleague. You are a fellow Avenger. You are my oldest friend. But if you touch that button, I will kill you.
* PunchAWall: When Virginia confesses what really happened with Grim Reaper and Leon Kinzky, Vision smashes up the living room and backyard offscreen. Readers see the aftermath when George visits.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "She...is...my...DAUGHTER! And I will...SAVE HER!"
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Vision fights his way through the Avengers and arrives at Victor's jail cell with the intent to kill Victor. Virginia suddenly appears and kills Victor instead to avert the BadFuture she and Agatha foresaw.]]
* {{Robosexual}}: He is capable of physical intimacy. The comic depicts a love scene between Vision and Virginia and references his past romantic relationship with Scarlet Witch.
* SanitySlippage: When he discovers that Virginia [[spoiler:killed Grim Reaper and buried his remains in the backyard,]] he goes on an offscreen rampage, smashing up the house. Later, the narrator states that [[spoiler:Vin's death precipitated Vision's full descent into madness.]]
* TheStoic: Most of the time, he's calm and collected.
* SurvivorsGuilt: After [[spoiler:Vin's death,]] Vision regrets not giving him more attention. He [[ItMakesSenseInContext removes his eye]] and replays a moment in which [[spoiler:Vin]] was sharing Shakespeare with him, but he was too busy to pay attention.
* TheUnsmile: His fake smile when he greets George and Nora for the first time cannot be unseen.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: His work with the Avengers and with the President frequently keep him away from home, to Virginia's disappointment.
-->'''Virginia:''' I do not relish asking this of you. You are an Avenger. You are needed there. Obviously. I am just trying to say, you are needed ''here'' as well.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:In the BadFuture seen by Agatha and Virginia, had he succeeded in killing Victor, he would've gone mad with grief and killed every living thing in the planet, starting with the Avengers.]]
!!Virginia
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/769e2957_e831_4b27_9df1_ba89c1bc383f.jpeg]]
Vision's wife, a synthezoid whom he created for companionship.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Virginia is a polite neighbor and a loving wife and mother. She's also capable of ''savage'' violence in moments of stress or desperation, as [[spoiler:Grim Reaper, Leon Kinsky, Victor, and Sparky]] all discovered.
* BigNO: She angrily shouts "NO! NO! NO!" as she [[spoiler:kills Grim Reaper.]]
* {{Blackmail}}: Leon Kinzky secretly films her [[spoiler:burying the Grim Reaper's body]] and tries to blackmail her.
* BreakTheCutie: Her life becomes a {{trauma conga line}} that taxes her sanity.
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: Viv is enraged when she learns that Virginia was present when Leon shot C.K.]]
* BlatantLies: She insists that "Everything is normal!" when law enforcement questions the Vision.
* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
-->'''Virginia:''' Vin, does your suspension from school somehow equate to you being permanently suspended upon this couch? You might answer the door.
** And then again, during an otherwise frightening scene in issue #9.
-->'''Virginia:''' And where is the damn dog?
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:After drinking poisonous water, she dies as Vision holds her.]]
* DramaticStutter:
** She stutters when a law enforcement officer questions Vision. The stutter is an expression of her own anxiety over [[spoiler:her killing of Grim Reaper possibly being discovered.]]
-->'''Virginia:''' I do not know how to fix fix fix fix...
** In issue #8, she stutters repeatedly while talking to Victor. In issue #11, she stutters constantly while explaining [[spoiler:Vision's decision to kill Victor and the ugly aftermath that will likely follow]] to Viv.
* GhostMemory: Because her brain patterns were based off those of Scarlet Witch, [[spoiler:Virginia has access to many of Scarlet Witch's memories, including a formula for seeing the future.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Downplayed but when Vision is showing a gift from Scarlet Witch to their neighbors, Virginia goes quiet with her arms folded and a frown on her face.
* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:After giving Detective Lin a false story in order to protect Vision, she drinks poisonous water that corrodes her synthetic organs. She dies in Vision's arms.]]
* {{Housewife}}: She tends the house and cares for Vin and Viv while Vision is away.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Although the last issue of the 2015 series suggests that Vision is building a new body to resurrect her, she hasn't been revived]].
* MamaBear: After Grim Reaper breaks into her house and attacks her children, she [[spoiler:savagely beats him to death.]] A trait less surprising when it's revealed she got her brain patterns from the Scarlet Witch, a woman so protective of her children she rewove reality.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution:
** [[spoiler:In issue #11, she kills Sparky as part of a magical formula for seeing visions of the future, even though she ''already'' knew that the future held horrors for her and her loved ones.]]
** [[spoiler:She kills Victor before Vision can do so, instead of trying to talk him out of the killing or restrain him.]]
* PunchAWall: She smashes the kitchen table out of anxiety when a law enforcement officer questions her husband.
* OnlySaneMan: Subverted. Out of all the Visions, she likely understands humans the best [[spoiler: because she actually remembers the memories of Scarlet Witch]] and her concerns that sending the children to school may cause problems turns out to be justified. On the other hand, she puts on a StepfordSmiler exterior around company and her sanity takes a ''nosedive'' as the story progresses.
%%* ReplacementGoldfish: Unlike most examples, Virginia was explicitly created ''by'' the other party with this goal in mind.
* {{Robosexual}}: Despite being a synthezoid/android, she is capable of physical intimacy with Vision.
* SanitySlippage: The trauma of [[spoiler:killing Grim Reaper, witnessing CK's death, and putting Leon Kinsky in a coma]] is taxing her sanity. In issue #6, she behaves casually as she leads George through her smashed home. In issue #8, she stutters constantly, sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to herself, and tells Victor that she ''is'' the music she plays. Victor observes that she is "hurt" in some way. [[spoiler:After Vin's death at Victor's hands, her mental state is even more fragile.]]
* StepfordSmiler: She cultivates a smiling housewife exterior, but cries when she explores her pre-loaded memory bank in private. [[spoiler:We later learn that she weeps when she accesses Scarlet Witch's memories of her romance with Vision.]]
* TakeMeInstead: [[spoiler:Virginia knows that Vision will kill Victor, and that she will probably be persecuted and killed anyway after he does so. Virginia kills Victor instead so that justice can be served while keeping Vision's reputation intact.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** A vandal thought that he could get away with spray-painting "Go Home Socket Lovers" on her garage. Virginia knocks the vandal out cold, and the [[OhCrap expression on his friend's face is priceless]].
** Grim Reaper thought he could [[spoiler:kill Virginia and her children by himself. Virginia quickly beat him to death.]]
** Leon Kinzky tried to [[spoiler:blackmail her after secretly filming her burying Grim Reaper's body, then threatened to destroy her loved ones.]] She struck him so hard that he was left in a coma.
* UnstablePoweredWoman: Virginia Vision is a based on the Vision (which means there's some Ultron tech within her) with a facsimile of the above-mentioned powerful-but-mentally-fragile Scarlet Witch. When her children are threatened, she becomes increasingly homicidal and ruthlessly murders anyone who might pose a threat to her family. This sets off a string of events that culminates in her murdering brother-in-law Victor Mancha, then murdering the family dog, and finally committing suicide.
!!Viv

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: C.K. bullied her and Vin, but quickly turned around to try to befriend her, with implications that he might even have a crush on her.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Viv is a pleasant teenage girl most of the time (occasional moments of snottiness notwithstanding). When she is angered, however, expect shattered tables and staircases.

* EyeLightsOut: Her eyes briefly go black as Vision is [[spoiler:reviving her]].
* ForegoneConclusion: She was announced to appear in ''Champions'' after this series' end, so nothing permanent is going to happen to her.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: At first. By the end of the series, she is at peace with the fact that she is not "normal" and does not need to fit in.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Grim Reaper impales her with his scythe, [[spoiler:earning him a savage beating from Virginia.]]
* JerkassBall: In issue #9, she's rude to Virginia when [[spoiler:Virginia and Vision cannot locate Vin and Victor.]]

* SeriousBusiness: Viv and Vin once got into a brawl over whether Shakespeare's Shylock was truly a villain. Viv accidentally punched through the staircase.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: Viv turns to theism as a way to cope with [[spoiler:Vin's death; first praying that there is a God, then that her brother has a soul, then that God will allow Vin's soul to rest]].
!!Vin
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f3ac4c8c_ae98_4657_b141_904976206c5b.jpeg]]

* BadassBookworm: Vin and Viv soak up as much information as they can through electronic means.

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Victor]] attacks Vin and accidentally kills him. [[spoiler:The damage to Vin's system is so extensive that he cannot be revived.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Even if Chris Kinzky ''was'' being a jerk, Vin overreacted when he grabbed the boy by his throat and choked him into unconsciousness.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:
** Zeke wanders into the synthezoids' backyard, [[spoiler:smells Grim Reaper's remains, and digs up his body.]] When Vision discovers [[spoiler:the dead body and electrocuted dog, it sets into motion his morally questionable decision to lie about Virginia's actions.]]
** Sparky leads Vin into Victor's room while the latter is in a meeting with the Avengers. Afraid that the boy may reveal his secrets to the rest of the family, Victor [[spoiler:tries to restrain Vin with his powers, but ends up accidentally killing him]].
* WeCanRebuildHim:
** Zeke digs up Grim Reaper's remains, bites a piece of Grim Reaper's equipment, and is electrocuted. Vision recovers his brain and uses it to create a synthezoid dog.

!![[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Victor Mancha]]
A cyborg created by Ultron as a gift to Marianella Mancha, who longed for a child. Vision's "brother" who temporarily stays with the family.
----

* AndShowItToYou: [[spoiler:Virginia kills him by phasing her hand into his chest and ripping out his cybernetic heart.]]
* BadFuture: Was built by Ultron to cause one. [[spoiler:When Vrginia kills him to avert Vision's, he is glad his will now never come to be.]]
* BaitAndSwitchComment: He warns Vin that he spends too much time upstairs, and that everyone can hear him while he's up there. Victor was chiding Vin for reading too much ''Shakespeare'' out loud.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler: Victor first uses vibranium to soothe his physical pain after fighting Ultron, then to manage pain from future battles. Eventually, he becomes addicted. His use of vibranium is reminiscent of a chronic pain sufferer's use of opioids.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:When Vision arrives at his jail cell, Victor is resigned to his fate.]]
* FallenHero: Victor is a good hearted and heroic character. When [[spoiler: his addiction causes him to accidentally kills Vin, he completely falls apart and Avengers throw him into prison]].
* FalseFriend: [[spoiler: He was sent by the Avengers to live with the Vision family, gain their trust, and eventually undermine them. Although it's at least implied he genuinely tried to help them.]]
%% * {{Foil}}: To Vision, although with many strong shades of MirrorCharacter.
* FutureMeScaresMe: Is terrified of the prospect of one day turning into Victorious and killing Avengers. [[spoiler: Because of that he actually seems glad when he dies.]]

* HeKnowsTooMuch: When Vin walks in on Victor [[spoiler: communicating with the Avengers, Victor attacks him with electricity.]]
* HeroAntagonist: Victor is a good guy who helped to save the world many times alongside ComicBook/{{Runaways}} and ComicBook/AvengersAI, yet here he plays an antagonistic role, acting on behalf of the heroic Avengers.
* IJustWantToBeYou: He secretly admires Vision for being a hero who defied his original purpose.
* {{Irony}}: He was built by Ultron to infiltrate the Avengers and cause a BadFuture. And here Avengers use him to infiltrate family of another of Ultron's creations which apparently will cause ''another'' bad future.

* TheMole: [[spoiler: The Avengers sent him to infiltrate the Vision family after learning about Virginia's crimes and Vision's lies from Agatha Harkness.]]

* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:After Virginia rips out his heart, Vision decapitated Victor offscreen. Tony retrieved Victor's head and mailed it to Chase, who repaired and reactivated him.]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Unlike Vision and his family, Victor can pass for human. Justified since Ultron built Vision to destroy the Avengers and Victor to infiltrate them. Deconstructed as well - the price he paid for looking human, was lack of Vision's physical invulnerability [[spoiler: so a life of superhero battles lead him to painkiller addiction]].
* ShockAndAwe: His primary weapon. [[spoiler:In issue #9, he uses his electricity powers to attack Vin.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Other Characters]]
!!George and Nora
The synthezoids' neighbors.

And when that ends with Victor accidentally killing Vin, they just throw him into prison and put rest of Visions on home arrest.]]

[[folder:The Vision Family]]
!!General Tropes
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The synthezoids' neighbors are suspicious of them, and at least one wants them to leave town. Vin and Viv are outsiders at school.

* AlliterativeFamily: All their names begin with "Vi" in an alliterative fashion.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: All four have magenta skin.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The synthezoids love each other and are polite to their neighbors. However, they are all capable of shocking violence if provoked.

* FantasticRacism: The Vision family endures this as synthezoids living among suspicious and sometimes hostile humans. In one issue, vandals spray-paints "Go Home Socket Lovers" on their garage door. In another issue, the Grim Reaper tries to kill Virginia, Viv, and Vin out of hatred. Virginia beats him to death before he can succeed.
* FantasticSlurs: Vandals spray paints "Go Home Socket Lovers" on their house, picked out of the search results for "bad names for robots". The principal at Vin and Viv's school refers to the synthezoids as "guns".

Vision clearly cares about his new family, as suggested by his frantic efforts to repair Viv and his willingness to protect Virginia [[spoiler:when the truth of her killing comes to light.]] However, Vision secretly felt fear when Virginia opened her eyes for the first time. He has to remind himself that Virginia is his wife and he ''has'' to love her.
* CrisisOfFaith: Vision finds no solace in philosophical or religious traditions after [[spoiler: Vin's death.]] However, he does pray with Viv to comfort his daughter and himself.
-->'''Vision:''' I have spent this time thinking about my brother, Victor Mancha.(...) And I have rigorously applied those scenarios to a variety of philosophical and religious traditions. Despite my efforts, unfortunately, I cannot see how, in any scenario, in any philosophical or religious tradition, this current outcome is just. I must therefore conclude that it is not just. And what is not just must be addressed.
* DarkSecret: He agrees to keep the events surrounding [[spoiler:Virginia's killing and failed blackmail]] a secret to protect his family.
* DependingOnTheArtist: In contemporaneous comic books from the ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentAvengers'', such as ''Ms. Marvel'' and ''Nova'', Vision is muscular. In this comic book, he's lanky.
* {{Determinator}}: As [[spoiler:Agatha Harkness]] observes, Vision will stop at ''nothing'' to protect his family.
* FatalFlaw:
** Vision's hunger for normalcy (or the appearance thereof) leads him to make ethically questionable decisions.
** The comic implies that Vision created a synthezoid family because he longs to relive his old life with Scarlet Witch. His greatest flaw is that he cannot let go of the memory of his first love.
* FieryCoverup: Virginia [[spoiler:buried Grim Reaper's remains in the backyard]]. When George stops by the synthezoids' house, he sees a furrow carved into the backyard, and readers will notice that the dead body is missing. It's strongly implied that Vision [[spoiler:burned Grim Reaper's body with a blast from his forehead crystal.]]
* HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:The series ends with Vision raising Viv alone, after Vin's death and Virginia's suicide.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He creates Virginia, Viv, and Vin so that he can have a family, but as they all discover, normalcy is beyond their reach.
-->'''Agatha:''' Vision thought he could make a family. A happy, normal family. It was merely a matter of calculation. The right formula, shortcut, algorithm. What a shock then to (...) discover that it was all beyond him.
* IgnoredEpiphany: In spite of all the evidence that he and his kind will never truly integrate into "normal" human society, [[spoiler:Vision tells Scarlet Witch that he still wants to be normal in issue #11.]]
* MundaneUtility: Issue #8 shows him melting snow with his forehead laser.
* NotSoAboveItAll: As their love scene shows, Vision's stoicism is no match for Virginia's feminine charms.
* OldFlame: He was previously married to Scarlet Witch. The comic implies that he created his synthezoid family because he's trying to recreate his old life with her.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring:
** He's terrified when he nearly [[spoiler:loses Viv.]]
** The last page of issue #9 shows [[spoiler:Vision holding Vin's dead body, begging his son to wake up after Victor kills him.]]
* PapaWolf: When Tony Stark is about to [[spoiler:shut off the power Vision is using to revive Viv, fearful that it will kill Vision,]] Vision threatens him into refraining.
-->'''Vision''': Tony Stark, you are my colleague. You are a fellow Avenger. You are my oldest friend. But if you touch that button, I will kill you.
* PunchAWall: When Virginia confesses what really happened with Grim Reaper and Leon Kinzky, Vision smashes up the living room and backyard offscreen. Readers see the aftermath when George visits.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "She...is...my...DAUGHTER! And I will...SAVE HER!"
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Vision fights his way through the Avengers and arrives at Victor's jail cell with the intent to kill Victor. Virginia suddenly appears and kills Victor instead to avert the BadFuture she and Agatha foresaw.]]
* {{Robosexual}}: He is capable of physical intimacy. The comic depicts a love scene between Vision and Virginia and references his past romantic relationship with Scarlet Witch.
* SanitySlippage: When he discovers that Virginia [[spoiler:killed Grim Reaper and buried his remains in the backyard,]] he goes on an offscreen rampage, smashing up the house. Later, the narrator states that [[spoiler:Vin's death precipitated Vision's full descent into madness.]]
* TheStoic: Most of the time, he's calm and collected.
* SurvivorsGuilt: After [[spoiler:Vin's death,]] Vision regrets not giving him more attention. He [[ItMakesSenseInContext removes his eye]] and replays a moment in which [[spoiler:Vin]] was sharing Shakespeare with him, but he was too busy to pay attention.
* TheUnsmile: His fake smile when he greets George and Nora for the first time cannot be unseen.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: His work with the Avengers and with the President frequently keep him away from home, to Virginia's disappointment.
-->'''Virginia:''' I do not relish asking this of you. You are an Avenger. You are needed there. Obviously. I am just trying to say, you are needed ''here'' as well.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:In the BadFuture seen by Agatha and Virginia, had he succeeded in killing Victor, he would've gone mad with grief and killed every living thing in the planet, starting with the Avengers.]]
!!Virginia
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/769e2957_e831_4b27_9df1_ba89c1bc383f.jpeg]]
Vision's wife, a synthezoid whom he created for companionship.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Virginia is a polite neighbor and a loving wife and mother. She's also capable of ''savage'' violence in moments of stress or desperation, as [[spoiler:Grim Reaper, Leon Kinsky, Victor, and Sparky]] all discovered.
* BigNO: She angrily shouts "NO! NO! NO!" as she [[spoiler:kills Grim Reaper.]]
* {{Blackmail}}: Leon Kinzky secretly films her [[spoiler:burying the Grim Reaper's body]] and tries to blackmail her.
* BreakTheCutie: Her life becomes a {{trauma conga line}} that taxes her sanity.
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: Viv is enraged when she learns that Virginia was present when Leon shot C.K.]]
* BlatantLies: She insists that "Everything is normal!" when law enforcement questions the Vision.
* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
-->'''Virginia:''' Vin, does your suspension from school somehow equate to you being permanently suspended upon this couch? You might answer the door.
** And then again, during an otherwise frightening scene in issue #9.
-->'''Virginia:''' And where is the damn dog?
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:After drinking poisonous water, she dies as Vision holds her.]]
* DramaticStutter:
** She stutters when a law enforcement officer questions Vision. The stutter is an expression of her own anxiety over [[spoiler:her killing of Grim Reaper possibly being discovered.]]
-->'''Virginia:''' I do not know how to fix fix fix fix...
** In issue #8, she stutters repeatedly while talking to Victor. In issue #11, she stutters constantly while explaining [[spoiler:Vision's decision to kill Victor and the ugly aftermath that will likely follow]] to Viv.
* GhostMemory: Because her brain patterns were based off those of Scarlet Witch, [[spoiler:Virginia has access to many of Scarlet Witch's memories, including a formula for seeing the future.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Downplayed but when Vision is showing a gift from Scarlet Witch to their neighbors, Virginia goes quiet with her arms folded and a frown on her face.
* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:After giving Detective Lin a false story in order to protect Vision, she drinks poisonous water that corrodes her synthetic organs. She dies in Vision's arms.]]
* {{Housewife}}: She tends the house and cares for Vin and Viv while Vision is away.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Although the last issue of the 2015 series suggests that Vision is building a new body to resurrect her, she hasn't been revived]].
* MamaBear: After Grim Reaper breaks into her house and attacks her children, she [[spoiler:savagely beats him to death.]] A trait less surprising when it's revealed she got her brain patterns from the Scarlet Witch, a woman so protective of her children she rewove reality.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution:
** [[spoiler:In issue #11, she kills Sparky as part of a magical formula for seeing visions of the future, even though she ''already'' knew that the future held horrors for her and her loved ones.]]
** [[spoiler:She kills Victor before Vision can do so, instead of trying to talk him out of the killing or restrain him.]]
* PunchAWall: She smashes the kitchen table out of anxiety when a law enforcement officer questions her husband.
* OnlySaneMan: Subverted. Out of all the Visions, she likely understands humans the best [[spoiler: because she actually remembers the memories of Scarlet Witch]] and her concerns that sending the children to school may cause problems turns out to be justified. On the other hand, she puts on a StepfordSmiler exterior around company and her sanity takes a ''nosedive'' as the story progresses.
%%* ReplacementGoldfish: Unlike most examples, Virginia was explicitly created ''by'' the other party with this goal in mind.
* {{Robosexual}}: Despite being a synthezoid/android, she is capable of physical intimacy with Vision.
* SanitySlippage: The trauma of [[spoiler:killing Grim Reaper, witnessing CK's death, and putting Leon Kinsky in a coma]] is taxing her sanity. In issue #6, she behaves casually as she leads George through her smashed home. In issue #8, she stutters constantly, sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to herself, and tells Victor that she ''is'' the music she plays. Victor observes that she is "hurt" in some way. [[spoiler:After Vin's death at Victor's hands, her mental state is even more fragile.]]
* StepfordSmiler: She cultivates a smiling housewife exterior, but cries when she explores her pre-loaded memory bank in private. [[spoiler:We later learn that she weeps when she accesses Scarlet Witch's memories of her romance with Vision.]]
* TakeMeInstead: [[spoiler:Virginia knows that Vision will kill Victor, and that she will probably be persecuted and killed anyway after he does so. Virginia kills Victor instead so that justice can be served while keeping Vision's reputation intact.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** A vandal thought that he could get away with spray-painting "Go Home Socket Lovers" on her garage. Virginia knocks the vandal out cold, and the [[OhCrap expression on his friend's face is priceless]].
** Grim Reaper thought he could [[spoiler:kill Virginia and her children by himself. Virginia quickly beat him to death.]]
** Leon Kinzky tried to [[spoiler:blackmail her after secretly filming her burying Grim Reaper's body, then threatened to destroy her loved ones.]] She struck him so hard that he was left in a coma.
* UnstablePoweredWoman: Virginia Vision is a based on the Vision (which means there's some Ultron tech within her) with a facsimile of the above-mentioned powerful-but-mentally-fragile Scarlet Witch. When her children are threatened, she becomes increasingly homicidal and ruthlessly murders anyone who might pose a threat to her family. This sets off a string of events that culminates in her murdering brother-in-law Victor Mancha, then murdering the family dog, and finally committing suicide.
!!Viv

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Viv is a pleasant teenage girl most of the time (occasional moments of snottiness notwithstanding). When she is angered, however, expect shattered tables and staircases.

* EyeLightsOut: Her eyes briefly go black as Vision is [[spoiler:reviving her]].
* ForegoneConclusion: She was announced to appear in ''Champions'' after this series' end, so nothing permanent is going to happen to her.

* BaitAndSwitchComment: He warns Vin that he spends too much time upstairs, and that everyone can hear him while he's up there. Victor was chiding Vin for reading too much ''Shakespeare'' out loud.

* IJustWantToBeYou: He secretly admires Vision for being a hero who defied his original purpose.

* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Unlike Vision and his family, Victor can pass for human. Justified since Ultron built Vision to destroy the Avengers and Victor to infiltrate them. Deconstructed as well - the price he paid for looking human, was lack of Vision's physical invulnerability [[spoiler: so a life of superhero battles lead him to painkiller addiction]].

[[folder:The Vision Family]]
!!General Tropes
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The synthezoids' neighbors are suspicious of them, and at least one wants them to leave town. Vin and Viv are outsiders at school.

* AlliterativeFamily: All their names begin with "Vi" in an alliterative fashion.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: All four have magenta skin.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The synthezoids love each other and are polite to their neighbors. However, they are all capable of shocking violence if provoked.
* CannotDream: The synthezoids shut down during the night so that their systems can process the previous day's input, but they do not dream.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Viv slams her fist through the staircase when brawling with Vin. Virginia accidentally smashes the kitchen table out of anxiety when law enforcement questions Vision.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The synthezoids endure suspicion, threats, and hate crimes because they're different from those living around them. One can draw parallels between anti-synthezoid bigotry and racism.
* FantasticRacism: The Vision family endures this as synthezoids living among suspicious and sometimes hostile humans. In one issue, vandals spray-paints "Go Home Socket Lovers" on their garage door. In another issue, the Grim Reaper tries to kill Virginia, Viv, and Vin out of hatred. Virginia beats him to death before he can succeed.
* FantasticSlurs: Vandals spray paints "Go Home Socket Lovers" on their house, picked out of the search results for "bad names for robots". The principal at Vin and Viv's school refers to the synthezoids as "guns".

* MagicPants: Justified in that the synthezoids wear "clothes that phase" to preserve their modesty when they phase out.
* MonochromaticEyes: Their eyes are white with no irises or pupils.
* TheNeedless: They don't require food or water. While they do shut down at night so that their systems can process the day's events, they don't technically need sleep.

* HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:The series ends with Vision raising Viv alone, after Vin's death and Virginia's suicide.]]

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Vision fights his way through the Avengers and arrives at Victor's jail cell with the intent to kill Victor. Virginia suddenly appears and kills Victor instead to avert the BadFuture she and Agatha foresaw.]]
* {{Robosexual}}: He is capable of physical intimacy. The comic depicts a love scene between Vision and Virginia and references his past romantic relationship with Scarlet Witch.
* SanitySlippage: When he discovers that Virginia [[spoiler:killed Grim Reaper and buried his remains in the backyard,]] he goes on an offscreen rampage, smashing up the house. Later, the narrator states that [[spoiler:Vin's death precipitated Vision's full descent into madness.]]
* TheStoic: Most of the time, he's calm and collected.
* SurvivorsGuilt: After [[spoiler:Vin's death,]] Vision regrets not giving him more attention. He [[ItMakesSenseInContext removes his eye]] and replays a moment in which [[spoiler:Vin]] was sharing Shakespeare with him, but he was too busy to pay attention.
* TheUnsmile: His fake smile when he greets George and Nora for the first time cannot be unseen.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: His work with the Avengers and with the President frequently keep him away from home, to Virginia's disappointment.
-->'''Virginia:''' I do not relish asking this of you. You are an Avenger. You are needed there. Obviously. I am just trying to say, you are needed ''here'' as well.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:In the BadFuture seen by Agatha and Virginia, had he succeeded in killing Victor, he would've gone mad with grief and killed every living thing in the planet, starting with the Avengers.]]
!!Virginia
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/769e2957_e831_4b27_9df1_ba89c1bc383f.jpeg]]
Vision's wife, a synthezoid whom he created for companionship.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Virginia is a polite neighbor and a loving wife and mother. She's also capable of ''savage'' violence in moments of stress or desperation, as [[spoiler:Grim Reaper, Leon Kinsky, Victor, and Sparky]] all discovered.
* BigNO: She angrily shouts "NO! NO! NO!" as she [[spoiler:kills Grim Reaper.]]
* {{Blackmail}}: Leon Kinzky secretly films her [[spoiler:burying the Grim Reaper's body]] and tries to blackmail her.
* BreakTheCutie: Her life becomes a {{trauma conga line}} that taxes her sanity.
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: Viv is enraged when she learns that Virginia was present when Leon shot C.K.]]
* BlatantLies: She insists that "Everything is normal!" when law enforcement questions the Vision.
* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
-->'''Virginia:''' Vin, does your suspension from school somehow equate to you being permanently suspended upon this couch? You might answer the door.
** And then again, during an otherwise frightening scene in issue #9.
-->'''Virginia:''' And where is the damn dog?
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:After drinking poisonous water, she dies as Vision holds her.]]
* DramaticStutter:
** She stutters when a law enforcement officer questions Vision. The stutter is an expression of her own anxiety over [[spoiler:her killing of Grim Reaper possibly being discovered.]]
-->'''Virginia:''' I do not know how to fix fix fix fix...
** In issue #8, she stutters repeatedly while talking to Victor. In issue #11, she stutters constantly while explaining [[spoiler:Vision's decision to kill Victor and the ugly aftermath that will likely follow]] to Viv.
* GhostMemory: Because her brain patterns were based off those of Scarlet Witch, [[spoiler:Virginia has access to many of Scarlet Witch's memories, including a formula for seeing the future.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Downplayed but when Vision is showing a gift from Scarlet Witch to their neighbors, Virginia goes quiet with her arms folded and a frown on her face.
* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:After giving Detective Lin a false story in order to protect Vision, she drinks poisonous water that corrodes her synthetic organs. She dies in Vision's arms.]]
* {{Housewife}}: She tends the house and cares for Vin and Viv while Vision is away.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Although the last issue of the 2015 series suggests that Vision is building a new body to resurrect her, she hasn't been revived]].
* MamaBear: After Grim Reaper breaks into her house and attacks her children, she [[spoiler:savagely beats him to death.]] A trait less surprising when it's revealed she got her brain patterns from the Scarlet Witch, a woman so protective of her children she rewove reality.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution:
** [[spoiler:In issue #11, she kills Sparky as part of a magical formula for seeing visions of the future, even though she ''already'' knew that the future held horrors for her and her loved ones.]]
** [[spoiler:She kills Victor before Vision can do so, instead of trying to talk him out of the killing or restrain him.]]
* PunchAWall: She smashes the kitchen table out of anxiety when a law enforcement officer questions her husband.
* OnlySaneMan: Subverted. Out of all the Visions, she likely understands humans the best [[spoiler: because she actually remembers the memories of Scarlet Witch]] and her concerns that sending the children to school may cause problems turns out to be justified. On the other hand, she puts on a StepfordSmiler exterior around company and her sanity takes a ''nosedive'' as the story progresses.
%%* ReplacementGoldfish: Unlike most examples, Virginia was explicitly created ''by'' the other party with this goal in mind.
* {{Robosexual}}: Despite being a synthezoid/android, she is capable of physical intimacy with Vision.
* SanitySlippage: The trauma of [[spoiler:killing Grim Reaper, witnessing CK's death, and putting Leon Kinsky in a coma]] is taxing her sanity. In issue #6, she behaves casually as she leads George through her smashed home. In issue #8, she stutters constantly, sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to herself, and tells Victor that she ''is'' the music she plays. Victor observes that she is "hurt" in some way. [[spoiler:After Vin's death at Victor's hands, her mental state is even more fragile.]]
* StepfordSmiler: She cultivates a smiling housewife exterior, but cries when she explores her pre-loaded memory bank in private. [[spoiler:We later learn that she weeps when she accesses Scarlet Witch's memories of her romance with Vision.]]
* TakeMeInstead: [[spoiler:Virginia knows that Vision will kill Victor, and that she will probably be persecuted and killed anyway after he does so. Virginia kills Victor instead so that justice can be served while keeping Vision's reputation intact.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** A vandal thought that he could get away with spray-painting "Go Home Socket Lovers" on her garage. Virginia knocks the vandal out cold, and the [[OhCrap expression on his friend's face is priceless]].
** Grim Reaper thought he could [[spoiler:kill Virginia and her children by himself. Virginia quickly beat him to death.]]
** Leon Kinzky tried to [[spoiler:blackmail her after secretly filming her burying Grim Reaper's body, then threatened to destroy her loved ones.]] She struck him so hard that he was left in a coma.
* UnstablePoweredWoman: Virginia Vision is a based on the Vision (which means there's some Ultron tech within her) with a facsimile of the above-mentioned powerful-but-mentally-fragile Scarlet Witch. When her children are threatened, she becomes increasingly homicidal and ruthlessly murders anyone who might pose a threat to her family. This sets off a string of events that culminates in her murdering brother-in-law Victor Mancha, then murdering the family dog, and finally committing suicide.
!!Viv

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: C.K. bullied her and Vin, but quickly turned around to try to befriend her, with implications that he might even have a crush on her.

* EyeLightsOut: Her eyes briefly go black as Vision is [[spoiler:reviving her]].

* JerkassBall: In issue #9, she's rude to Virginia when [[spoiler:Virginia and Vision cannot locate Vin and Victor.]]

* SeriousBusiness: Viv and Vin once got into a brawl over whether Shakespeare's Shylock was truly a villain. Viv accidentally punched through the staircase.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: Viv turns to theism as a way to cope with [[spoiler:Vin's death; first praying that there is a God, then that her brother has a soul, then that God will allow Vin's soul to rest]].

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Victor]] attacks Vin and accidentally kills him. [[spoiler:The damage to Vin's system is so extensive that he cannot be revived.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Even if Chris Kinzky ''was'' being a jerk, Vin overreacted when he grabbed the boy by his throat and choked him into unconsciousness.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:
** Zeke wanders into the synthezoids' backyard, [[spoiler:smells Grim Reaper's remains, and digs up his body.]] When Vision discovers [[spoiler:the dead body and electrocuted dog, it sets into motion his morally questionable decision to lie about Virginia's actions.]]
** Sparky leads Vin into Victor's room while the latter is in a meeting with the Avengers. Afraid that the boy may reveal his secrets to the rest of the family, Victor [[spoiler:tries to restrain Vin with his powers, but ends up accidentally killing him]].
* WeCanRebuildHim:
** Zeke digs up Grim Reaper's remains, bites a piece of Grim Reaper's equipment, and is electrocuted. Vision recovers his brain and uses it to create a synthezoid dog.
** In issue #12, [[spoiler:Scarlet Witch and Tony Stark repair Sparky after Virginia seemingly kills him. Scarlet Witch reunites Sparky with an overjoyed Viv.]]

* BaitAndSwitchComment: He warns Vin that he spends too much time upstairs, and that everyone can hear him while he's up there. Victor was chiding Vin for reading too much ''Shakespeare'' out loud.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler: Victor first uses vibranium to soothe his physical pain after fighting Ultron, then to manage pain from future battles. Eventually, he becomes addicted. His use of vibranium is reminiscent of a chronic pain sufferer's use of opioids.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:When Vision arrives at his jail cell, Victor is resigned to his fate.]]
* FallenHero: Victor is a good hearted and heroic character. When [[spoiler: his addiction causes him to accidentally kills Vin, he completely falls apart and Avengers throw him into prison]].

%% * {{Foil}}: To Vision, although with many strong shades of MirrorCharacter.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: When Vin walks in on Victor [[spoiler: communicating with the Avengers, Victor attacks him with electricity.]]

* IJustWantToBeYou: He secretly admires Vision for being a hero who defied his original purpose.
* {{Irony}}: He was built by Ultron to infiltrate the Avengers and cause a BadFuture. And here Avengers use him to infiltrate family of another of Ultron's creations which apparently will cause ''another'' bad future.

* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:After Virginia rips out his heart, Vision decapitated Victor offscreen. Tony retrieved Victor's head and mailed it to Chase, who repaired and reactivated him.]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Unlike Vision and his family, Victor can pass for human. Justified since Ultron built Vision to destroy the Avengers and Victor to infiltrate them. Deconstructed as well - the price he paid for looking human, was lack of Vision's physical invulnerability [[spoiler: so a life of superhero battles lead him to painkiller addiction]].
* ShockAndAwe: His primary weapon. [[spoiler:In issue #9, he uses his electricity powers to attack Vin.]]
