History Characters / MCUUltron

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Ultron in the comics is a cold, calculating, MadScientist with GeniusBruiser and ManipulativeBastard thrown in. Ultron in the MCU is much more emotionally volatile, snarky ReligiousRobot with a need to BecomeARealBoy, most likely due to being a creation of Tony's and the Mind Stone's rather than Hank Pym's. He also is noted as openly craving companionship, which is something Ultron himself was never noted as wanting outside of a need to serve his own goals.

* MisanthropeSupreme: Anything human is inferior to himself. If it is flesh then it burns. If it is organic then he kills it. By the end, he declares that "when the dust settles, the only thing living in this world will be metal".

* ObliviouslyEvil: There are times when Ultron doesn't even ''realize'' how violent and dangerous his behavior is. There's also the fact that he [[SincerityMode legitimately believes]] that his OmnicidalManiac traits are for the good of mankind.

* CallBack: In Age of Ultron Thor receives visions of the infinity stones, and the dire cosmic threat Ultron represents. These are greater portents than he received even for Thanos. This episode of What If shows that ''those visions were not overselling the threat.''

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:They are simply inconveniences to Wanda, who tears them apart without breaking her stride.]]

* GoodCounterpart: To their [[Characters/MCUUltron Sacred Timeline counterpart and his Infinity variant]]. Tony 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 in the film, though WordOfGod says that the Earth-838 version of Tony simply succeeded where his variants failed.

* ZergRush: [[spoiler:Averted. Despite the Ultron Sentries' superior numbers, none of them are able to lay a finger on Wanda.]]

* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, Ultron is one of Marvel's most dangerous villains ever. His entire body is MadeOfIndestructium, and ComicBook/TheMightyThor has a hard enough time ''leaving a dent'' in it before it repairs itself anyways. Ultron also has {{Technopath}} abilities, where he once enslaved the techno-organic Phalanx through sheer force of will, and then went on to conquer the Kree Empire by separating it from the rest of the universe. In the movie, while being a dangerous, world-class threat, he gets dispatched much more easily in the end, and even struggles keeping up with ComicBook/CaptainAmerica in a one-on-one battle (which is compounded by Cap getting the [[AdaptationalBadass reverse]] treatment). Getting overpowered and killed by ComicBook/TheVision would ''never'' happen in the comics -- Ultron once [[SingleStrokeBattle one-shotted]] him with no effort ([[http://i.imgur.com/gMaKXWh.png Really]]) -- though this is ameliorated by the Vision being a ''serious'' AdaptationalBadass, intended as Ultron's final form, infused with Vibranium, and with an Infinity Stone in his forehead.

* DaddyIssues: He ''hates'' Tony with a passion and yet he is unconsciously what Tony would be without any friends or morals. Ultron largely ignores his other "father", Dr. Banner/Hulk. Like most adolescents, Ultron seems most threatened by the parent he most resembles; since his personality is a garbled version of Stark, Ultron focuses his ire almost solely on Tony.

* {{Expy}}: To Danger, a character introduced in Joss Whedon's ''Comicbook/AstonishingXMen''. Just like Dnager, [[InstantAIJustAddWater Ultron is partially made from alien technology]], [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters motivated entirely by their unfathomable hatred for their creator]], [[RestrainingBolt can't completely act against them until they find a new body]], [[TinMan acts erratic and illogical despite claims of being above that kind of behavior]], and has a [[ReligiousRobot noticeable fascination with religion]].

** Ultron is a machine, with no experience with or ability to use magic. So he is completely baffled by [[spoiler: Strange Supreme's]] ability to counter pretty much everything he throws at him.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the original comics, Ultron was created by Hank Pym (the original Ant-Man) based off of his own brain patterns. Since Hank [[SanitySlippage wasn't exactly stable at the time]], Ultron rebelled the moment it was created, developing an InferioritySuperiorityComplex as a robot made to serve humans and an OedipusComplex towards Hank and Janet. Here, Tony and Bruce created him using the Mind Stone as a blueprint in the hopes of creating a defense force for the Earth. Since [[AnimatingArtifact the Mind Stone made him more sentient than originally intended]], Ultron developed an independence that made him unpredictable and planned on fulfilling its vague imperative [[GoneHorriblyRight even if it meant committing genocide]] before MotiveDecay set it.

* PhysicalGod: With his body being immune to the effects of gamma radiation, Ultron is able to freely use the power of the Infinity Stones and easily become one of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse. Additionally, since the Stones are embedded into him, he doesn't have to make gestures in order to use them, bypassing the Infinity Gauntlet's famous weakness. He makes use of the Infinity Stones in a much grander fashion as well, such as creating a seemingly infinite army of Ultron Sentries, [[SizeShifter growing big enough to eat a galaxy]], and [[spoiler:punching Uatu so hard that they shift through reality.]]

* BadassBaritone: He has one by the time transforms into his final, and most powerful, form. All this, courtesy of James Spader.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He came into this world "distressed" according to JARVIS, and is horrified seeing humanity destroy itself. JARVIS understands Ultron's pain, but also understands he needs to be put down.
