The Vision is a synthezoid, an "android composed of synthetic human blood and organs." He was created by Ultron to destroy the Avengers, but rebelled against him and instead became one of the Avengers. He has been through many things (even dying), but he has always wanted one thing: to be normal and have a family.

'''''The Vision''''' is a 2015 comic book, part of the ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel. It is written by Tom King, with art by Gabriel Hernandez Walta and colors by Jordie Bellaire.

The Vision is a synthezoid, an "android composed of synthetic human blood and organs." He was created by Ultron to destroy the Avengers, but rebelled against him and instead became one of the Avengers. He has been through many things (even dying), but he has always wanted one thing: to be normal and have a family.

So he built one.

The Vision, his synthezoid wife Virginia and children Viv and Vin have now all moved into a suburb of Washington, DC, where the Vision works. The children go to school, while Virginia stays at home. Everything is fine, everything is normal. Except for the fact that they are not human and everyone knows it. Except for the fact that something very, very bad is going to happen. Or perhaps it has already happened.

''The Vision'' is a comic book unlike any other Marvel has put out: it's a tense psychological horror story, filled with dark foreboding. It's been called "strangely chilling" by [=io9=] and "both fascinating and decidedly creepy" by Comic Book Resources.

!Tropes that appear in ''The Vision'' (2015)

* AccidentalMurder: After the Grim Reaper attacks them and stabs Viv through the chest, Virginia whacks him with a pan to the head...and then keeps hitting him over and over again until he's dead.
* AndroidsArePeopleToo: This is what the Vision is trying to prove, especially in the second issue when he stands up the principal of the high school after he calls the Visions "guns."
* ArtificialHuman: All of the Visions are "synthezoids."
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Virginia, the Vision's wife, is content to sit around all day and explore her memories (often crying). But when the Grim Reaper threatens her family, she will take a metal pan and ''kill him with it''.
* {{Blackmail}}: By the end of the second issue, [[spoiler:someone saw Virginia burying the Grim Reaper and looks to be blackmailing her]]. Since she is a superstrong synthezoid, however, this might turn out to be BlackmailBackfire.
* CreepyMonotone: It's implied that all the Visions speak like this.
* {{Expy}}: Many readers have noted that this version of the Vision bares an uncanny similarity to [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Dr. Manhattan]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Since the book is narrated by some omniscient third person, they often interject things that will happen in the future. For example, the neighbors who go to greet the Visions will later die in a fire set by one of them.
* MoodWhiplash: The first issue has the two children come home to tell their mother all about their day at school...and then the Grim Reaper bursts into the house and stabs Viv through the chest, claiming that they are all "frauds" and "imposters."
** This is also one of the outcomes of having an omniscient third person narrator. When George and Nora, the neighbors, are leaving the Vision's house, they talk about how creepy the family is. And then the narration says: "Later, near the end of our story, one of the Visions will set George and Nora's house on fire. They will die in the flames."
* ProphetEyes: All of the Visions have these.
* UncannyValley: A common concurrence in the book, since all the main characters feel emotion, but cannot convey them. They don't even feel like flesh - one of their neighbors states that their hand felt like a "sandwich bag."
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: While the Vision himself is bald, Virginia, Viv, and Vin all have green hair to contrast their red skin.
