... Or, ''What If Wonder Man had Never Died?''
In this version of events, Wonder Man confesses his status as TheMole to the Avengers during their initial time with him, allowing Ant-Man time to bust Zemo's trap and get the antidote necessary to save his life.
At first, things seem to be going a lot better than the regular reality. The Avengers are left in Simon's capable hands, Hank Pym never develops his mental issues that plagued his IRL reputation, remaining HappilyMarried to Janet, Magneto gets KilledOffForReal and Wonder Man pursues a marriage with Wanda Frank. But that just means that Ultron has no mind to upload into the body that would become the Vision... [[OhCrap except for his own]].
!What if Wonder Man had Never Troped?
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In canon, the Avengers relentlessly bullied Hank Pym into proving he was Giant Man, dragging him out of retirement to become Goliath and giving him long-standing mental issues as a result. Here, Wonder Man decides to take Pym at his word and rescue the Wasp so she can verify his story.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Quicksilver becomes such an extreme example of MySisterIsOffLimits that he joins Magneto's Acolytes to destroy the Avengers.
* BittersweetEnding: Simon dies from injuries sustained against Ultron, but Hank uses the latter's "Vision" body to restore him to life, after a fashion.
* ConflictingLoyalty: The initial PointOfDivergence is that Simon realises that the Avengers have treated him better than the Masters of Evil much earlier, saving his life.
* DeathByAdaptation: After Quicksilver is killed during a skirmish, an angry Wanda vaporises Magneto.
* GodzillaThreshold: Ultron is such a dangerous threat that all the former Avengers come out of retirement to stop him.
* HappilyMarried: Since Hank never became Goliath here, he and Jan get married much earlier, with no issues later in their marriage.
* InSpiteOfANail:
** The ending of the story effectively restores the canon Vision to this reality, with the only changes being the deaths of Quicksilver, Magneto and (presumably) Ultron.
* The StationsOfTheCanon: Ultron still turns himself on and instantly matures (though he doesn't inflict LaserGuidedAmnesia on his "father") and despite him directly controlling the Vision, he attacks Janet in her apartment at night, and gets dubbed "the Vision" via LineOfSightName.
* YouAreInCommandNow: Simon becomes leader of the Avengers once the original members retire.
