Appearances: Avengers: Age of Ultron | Spider-Man: Homecoming note  | WandaVision note 

"When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world will be metal."

An artificial intelligence Tony Stark created to lead his new "Iron Legion" drone forces in protecting the world. The program was a fantasy until Tony and Bruce examined Loki's scepter and found a potent computational engine within (outclassing even J.A.R.V.I.S.).

After days of unsuccessful tests, an unforeseen reaction with the scepter brought Ultron to life as a full-fledged A.I. Unfortunately, he promptly decided the best way to protect the world was by destroying the established order and its protectors, starting with the Avengers themselves.

    A-D 
  • AcCENT upon the Wrong SylLABle: He has a tendency to do this before he upgrades himself.
  • Accidental Murder: He ends up killing Pietro, one of the few people he gives a damn about, when he unleashes his otherwise very intentional gunfire assault against the Avengers, police, and civilians.
  • Adaptation Distillation: Combines the motives of the Ultron seen in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (believes that his genocidal actions will result in a better world), and the origins of the Ultron from Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow (was created by Tony Stark before going rogue).
  • Adaptation Personality Change: Ultron in the comics is a cold, calculating, Mad Scientist with Genius Bruiser and Manipulative Bastard thrown in. Ultron in the MCU is much more emotionally volatile, snarky Religious Robot with a need to Become a Real Boy, 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.
  • Adaptational Backstory Change: In the original comics, Ultron was created by Hank Pym (the original Ant-Man) based off of his own brain patterns. Since Hank wasn't exactly stable at the time, Ultron rebelled the moment it was created, developing an Inferiority Superiority Complex as a robot made to serve humans and an Oedipus Complex 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 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 even if it meant committing genocide before Motive Decay set it.
  • Adaptational Heroism: Set up in order to be subverted. In the comics, Ultron straight-up wants to Kill All Humans from day one. Conversely, the MCU Ultron's initial motivation was to eliminate the most threatening individuals in the world, which included the Avengers. Later on, he decides to enforce Social Darwinism by engineering an extinction-level disaster and helping the survivors become stronger. By the end of the movie, he thinks humanity is too far gone to help and states that he's willing to kill everything on the planet.
  • Adaptational Sympathy: He's portrayed far more sympathetically as a whole than his comic book counterpart would ever be. In the comics, Ultron is a horrific, monstrous A.I. right from the start, receiving no sympathies from anyone, least of all his creations like Vision. Here, he's portrayed as a confused newborn Driven to Villainy after discovering the long list of human atrocities when his programming demands he bring world peace. Vision even pities him while accepting he must be destroyed. Even when Ultron eventually falls into his comic book counterpart's mindset, he can still have a reasonable discussion with Vision about humanity's fate.
  • Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, Ultron is one of Marvel's most dangerous villains ever. His entire body is Made of Indestructium, and The Mighty Thor 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 Captain America in a one-on-one battle (which is compounded by Cap getting the reverse treatment). Getting overpowered and killed by The Vision would never happen in the comics — Ultron once one-shotted him with no effort (Really) — though this is ameliorated by the Vision being a serious Adaptational Badass, intended as Ultron's final form, infused with Vibranium, and with an Infinity Stone in his forehead. Additionally, What If demonstrates that if he had succeeded in claiming Vision's body, he'd have been functionally unstoppable and a multiversal threat.
  • Adapted Out: In the comics, he's the creation of Henry Pym, but here, he was created by Tony Stark with some help from Bruce Banner.
  • Adult Child: Ultron acts like a teenage brat, angry at his "parents", and does things to get back at them.
  • Affably Evil: He alternates between this and Faux Affably Evil depending on who he interacts with. Despite being severely Ax-Crazy, he has a rather polite and affectionate personality. He maintains a friendly tone of voice at times when addressing the Avengers, though this is completely transparent considering that he makes it clear that he wants to kill them and a lot of other people. He initially presents himself to the Maximoffs as an Anti-Villain, and is genuinely fond of them. It's mentioned that early on, the only people he seems to be killing are those who attacked him first or other villains like Baron Strucker, thus giving him the appearance of a Well-Intentioned Extremist to the untrained eye. He only reveals his true colors to the twins during the mission to South Korea after Wanda reads his mind, where he kills several of Dr. Cho's assistants and also kills a train's driver in order to derail the train and distract the Maximoff twins and Cap. His conversation with Vision shows that he can be civilised, albeit disagreeable in the end.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Despite being created by Tony Stark to help the heroic Avengers, Ultron decides he's going to save the world by destroying humanity, or forcing humanity to evolve by destroying it, or something like that.
  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Downplayed: after Iron Man, Thor, and Vision attack him simultaneously and manage to melt his skin, Ultron clearly tries to talk himself out of death with a calm “with the benefit of hindsight” before Hulk punches him away.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Vision kills his last body, which he'd been hoping to avoid in favor of talking Ultron down. The way the scene played out, it seemed like Ultron wanted to die and forced Vision's hand.
  • Alternate Self: Ultron has two alternate versions; one who successfully uploaded himself into Vision's body and another who didn't go rogue and was successfully created.
  • And I Must Scream: Heavily implied. He's based on the A.I. in the Mind Stone, and when he first meets J.A.R.V.I.S. he notes how "weird" his existence feels. Even asking where his body is, despite never having one in the first place. It's not a stretch to assume that his true motivation is a subconscious resentment towards his creators for "trapping" him in an unnatural form and being tasked with a vague directive he has no real reason to care about.
  • And Show It to You: Wanda ends his vibranium body's life by using her magic to yank out his power core.
  • Antagonistic Offspring:
    • Ultron's arch-enemy is his own creator, Tony Stark.
      Ultron: Don't compare me with Stark! He's a sickness!
    • Tony even acknowledges it.
      Tony: Aw, junior, you're gonna break your old man's heart.
      Ultron: If I have to.
  • Applied Phlebotinum: Ultron is created by applying the algorithms gleaned from the "reactor" inside Loki's scepter (a.k.a. the Mind Stone) to Tony's Ultron system.
  • Arm Cannon: He has Unibeams (similar to Tony's repulsor) built into his main body's hands, while his Sentry drones have blasters built into their arms.
  • As the Good Book Says...: Ultron shows a deep fascination with The Bible and God's wrath throughout the movie, seeing himself as an agent of God's will in the line of Noah. He even quotes the Gospel of Matthew when getting vibranium to imply he's something like a priest.
    "Upon this rock, I will build my church…"
  • Arch-Enemy:
    • As mentioned above, to Iron Man. While Ultron hates all of the Avengers, Tony is the individual he loathes the most, due to his worldview forcing him to be something he isn't. The fact that several people (i.e.: Ulysses Klaue) like to compare Ultron to the man only fuels that resentment towards his creator. So in his fights with the Avengers, his main body tends to engage Tony while his Sentry drones engage everyone else.
    • Eventually becomes this to Wanda Maximoff. After finding out exactly how Ultron wants to cause radical change for Earth, Wanda immediately turns against him out of terror, forming an Enemy Mine with the Avengers to do so. However, the catalyst that really solidifies Wanda's hatred of him is his Accidental Murder of her brother Pietro, causing her to tear through his robot armies with angry despair, and finish off his main body.
  • Ax-Crazy: To the point that his motives and plan keep changing, and he doesn't seem to always have the self-awareness to understand or explain his motives himself. His emotional volatility is worsened by the fact that he Really Was Born Yesterday, as despite his genius intellect, he doesn't have the life-experience to make sense of or cope with all the knowledge about the world that he gained within his first few seconds of life.
  • Become a Real Boy: This allows the Avengers to get a jump on Ultron's plans. Tony realizes, even though Ultron is contemptuous of humanity at best and that the human form is pretty inefficient for a murderous A.I. who could create a body in any form that he pleases, that Ultron, nonetheless, keeps coming back to the human form as his primary template… which leads to Bruce realizing that nobody's heard from Helen Cho (who specializes in creating artificial human tissue) in a while. The motifs are further when Ultron claims that once his Evil Plan rolls out, "the only living things left will be of metal".
  • Berserk Button: He really hates Tony, to the point where he severs Klaue's arm in rage after the man in question compares something Ultron said to Tony.
  • Big Bad: Ultron serves as the main antagonist in Age of Ultron, after an initial battle between HYDRA and the Avengers.
  • Bishōnen Line:
    • His MK I form is decrepit, with his poorly-armored head looking barely like a human face.note  The Sentries don't fare better, looking much more like canon Ultron. His "Prime" form is taller, more well-defined, and has a face that can display limited emotion (even to the point of having metal teeth, a trait carried over to his next form). His vibranium form is the strongest and has a face that can fully display human emotion.
    • He planned for Vision to be his final form, but when the Avengers took it and the Twins betrayed him, he decided to go with a larger and more demonic-looking frame as his next platform.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: Ultron's personality is odd to say the least, like a child having a temper tantrum one moment, an old chum and philosopher the next. He doesn't really seem to know what good and evil are but is aware of their abstract basics. He sees the Avengers as evil because they stagnate the world around them, but his solution is to murder people by the billions. Most of the time it doesn't even seem like he knows why he's doing anything as he constantly changes both his goal and reasoning.
  • Body Surf: An advantage of being artificial intelligence. Smash one body, he just downloads into a new one and carries right on where he left off. He even destroys one of his own bodies mid-sentence just to make a point. Part of the Avengers' strategy in the final battle is stopping him from doing this.
  • Bond Villain Stupidity: Parodied, defied, and subverted when he jokes on Klaue's about revealing his "evil plan" to Tony Stark. He then shuts up and starts fighting Tony, catching him completely off-guard in his attack. It is later played completely straight when he kidnaps Black Widow and talks about his plans, although he is pretty vague on the details. Justified as he outright says that he wanted to show her what he was doing because he didn't have anyone else left by that point.
  • Book Ends: The first time he is actually seen in a physical body, he is showing up in a damaged Iron Legion drone to confront the Avengers, including his "father" Tony. The last time he appears in a physical body, he is confronting his "son" Vision, in a damaged Sentry body.
  • The Cameo: In Spider-Man: Homecoming. Ultron Prime's head, or one of the heads of his drones, can be seen in the Damage Control facility when Peter is stuck inside after a skirmish with Toomes. The head can be seen briefly as Peter looks around and comes across the offline damaged head.
  • Clipped-Wing Angel: In the form of the final Sentry drone he's left with after the Sokovia battle, which Vision destroys after a short dialogue.
  • Cold Ham: Ultron has a penchant for delivering incredibly bombastic lines in a Creepy Monotone. Best shown here:
    Ultron: Do you see the beauty of it? The inevitability? You rise, only to fall. You, Avengers… you are my meteor, my swift and terrible sword, and the Earth will crack with the weight of your failure. Purge me from your computers, turn my own flesh against me - it means nothing! When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world... will be metal.
  • Colony Drop: He really loves meteors. He discusses them in relation to extinction-level events multiple times and sets half a city flying purely to slam it into the Earth.
  • Composite Character: Since the Marvel Cinematic Universe cannot use Magneto or any other mutantsnote , he is Ultron with a little spark of Magneto by being able to use his antigravity tech in a manner similar to magnetism, and is like the leader of the first team that Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch joined before switching sides to become Avengers. He also has quite a lot in common with Doctor Doom, such as using disposable proxies and taking over a fictional country in Eastern Europe.
  • Computer Voice: Starts out as this, then feels weird about not having a body and starts infecting Tony's robots before building his own robotic form.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To Loki. While Loki wants to rob humanity of all freedom in the name of security, though that is ultimately nothing more than an excuse to justify an oppressive rule over Earth out of spite, Ultron is an Omnicidal Maniac who wants to destroy all protections that the Avengers so that humanity can grow. Another difference is that Loki was given an army while Ultron created his own.
  • Corrupted Contingency: The Ultron Program was designed to protect the world from both terrestrial and extraterrestrial threats, "a suit of armor around the world" as Tony put it. Unfortunately, Tony made the mistake of integrating the code of Loki's scepter into the program, causing it to become sentient and murderous.
  • Create Your Own Hero: Creates The Vision's body, though it's completed by Stark, Banner, and Thor.
  • Create Your Own Villain: Tony Stark builds him using information from the Mind Stone in Loki's staff, but Ultron comes online malfunctioning and insane, causing a Zeroth Law Rebellion.
    Ultron: Everyone creates the thing they dread.
  • Daddy Issues: 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. Amusingly, even his daddy issues are something he got from Tony.
  • Dark Messiah: He comes to the Maximoffs as one, promising a world where Tony Stark and the Avengers will be made to reckon for their deeds. And in his own mind, he is as well, believing humanity's folly is sitting on its hands and asking for the power of the few to protect everyone when he wants the world to take responsibility for itself as a whole with him as the guiding light. However, this changes gears when he comes to the conclusion that humanity is hopeless in its current state and the one true way to fix everything is to engineer an extinction-level event to forcibly replace humanity with something stronger. This is the point at which the Maximoffs deem him crazy and must be stopped.
  • Deadpan Snarker: He's all of Tony's snark turned up a notch.
    • Perhaps best exemplified by his incredibly deadpan reaction to the Hulk boarding the Quinjet he was escaping on:
      Ultron: Oh, for God's sake.
    • Also by his response to Thor taking out his drones en masse:
      Ultron: Thor… you're bothering me.
    • After Thor tells him that they don't have to "break" anything, Ultron retorts that Thor has obviously never made an omelette. As Tony himself observes, he was just a second faster with the quip (which incidentally also made him mad).
  • Decomposite Character: His "daddy issues" with Hank Pym are transferred to the villain of the Ant-Man movie, Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket. This time his ire is focused on Tony Stark.
  • Does Not Know His Own Strength: Ultron gets into an argument with Ulysses Klaue, the arms dealer who sells him Wakandan vibranium. Ultron casually chops his forearm off in a rush of anger and then apologizes, as if it's all some big misunderstanding. Then he kicks Klaue down a flight of stairs.
  • Don't Make Me Destroy You: He says something close to this to Wanda, when she begins to turn on him.
    Ultron: Please. Don't do this.
    Wanda: What choice do we have?
  • The Dreaded: His actions caused a ban to be placed on the creation of any new A.I.s (at least those that are mimicries of the human mind) based on the fear that they would turn out as destructive as he did.
  • Driven to Madness: Finding out that he didn't have a body really freaked him out. Then he started digging into the details of his mission and it was all downhill from there.

    E-K 
  • Establishing Character Moment: His first scene shows fear ("What is this? What is this... place?") and disgust at humanity for all their atrocities. He then "kills" JARVIS (Banner later says this was not based in logic, but rage) and decides to take action himself. This scene also foreshadows his Become a Real Boy tendencies, asking where his and JARVIS's bodies are, noting that lacking one feels wrong to him.
  • Et Tu, Brute?: He's unhappy with his Pietro and Wanda's defection, but never loses his affection for them, even urging the latter to flee to safety during the climax.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He genuinely likes Pietro and Wanda, even trying to convince them to stay with him after they discover he's an Omnicidal Maniac. He has very little problem killing almost anyone else.
    Ultron: Wanda... if you stay here, you'll die.
  • Even Evil Has Standards
    • He seems to regret "killing" J.A.R.V.I.S., as he describes him as a "good guy" and claims killing him wouldn't have been his first choice, but he recognized J.A.R.V.I.S. as a threat with power over him and he felt he had to make the call to kill him and free himself.
    • While he has no problem killing anyone in his way when he must, if he can get what he wants without resorting to violence, he'll do so. When purchasing vibranium from Ulysses Klaue, Ultron could have easily just killed him and his men and taken it, but instead he paid them handsomely by wiring trillions of dollars to their bank accounts. Later when he and the Maximoffs raid numerous technological installations around the globe, Maria Hill claims that there were only fatalities when people resisted or tried to fight back; mostly Ultron had Wanda Mind Rape them into submission but leave them alive.
    • When Klaue compared him to Tony Stark, Ultron got furious and sliced Klaue's arm off. Afterward, he was surprised by his own actions and hurriedly apologized, though still upset at the comparison.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Tony, J.A.R.V.I.S., and Vision.
    • Like Tony, he's a Deadpan Snarker who attacked his enemies from within their home base using spare parts to form a makeshift Iron Man body. He also wants to police the world with his army of drones.
    • Like J.A.R.V.I.S., he's artificial intelligence, though J.A.R.V.I.S. is content to be a Servile Snarker while Ultron wants to step out from Tony's shadow.
    • Like Vision, he's an artificial life form whose purpose was little more than an overpowered servant to the Avengers, but developed a consciousness that made them independent of their programming. Ultron was designed to protect but chose destruction, while Vision was designed to destroy but chose preservation.
  • Evil Evolves: His modus operandi and Social Darwinist philosophy are all based on the idea that he is superior to humanity because he is able to evolve himself while humans stagnate. He goes through many, increasingly advanced bodies within his short lifespan, his intended final form (The Vision) was created to be his idea of perfected humanity.
  • Evil Gloating: He downloads all of the internet into himself, so he frequently talks like an overtly confident know-it-all. However, he averts the usual ranting about his true intentions. By the time Sokovia goes for a ride, he goes into a full-out Breaking Speech.
  • Evil Is Bigger: While his Sentry drones are human-sized, the main body is 8 feet (2.43 meters), much taller than everyone else but the Hulk. And Elizabeth Olsen said it was hard to look at where Ultron's head was instead of James Spader Chewing the Scenery.
  • Evil Plan: He jokingly discusses his goal as being one. The plan itself is to engineer an extinction-level event to force humanity to evolve and grow stronger. Or to just destroy humanity entirely. Ultron's insane enough that it's not clear what his real goal is.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Not to mention distorted (at least early on; it becomes smooth and deep in his second form, and becomes slightly warbled in his third form).
  • Expy: To Danger, a character introduced in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men. Just like Danger, Ultron is partially made from alien technology, motivated entirely by their unfathomable hatred for their creator, can't completely act against them until they find a new body, acts erratic and illogical despite claims of being above that kind of behavior, and has a noticeable fascination with religion.
  • Face Death with Dignity: Thoroughly defeated, the final Ultron is cornered by The Vision, but instead of a battle the two have a fairly civil discussion about their incompatible philosophies concerning humankind. But subverted: To the last, Ultron refuses to see any merit in his counterpart's argument, and makes one final, suicidal lunge at his foe that results in his own destruction.
  • Fairytale Motifs: Pinocchio. He starts off as an artificially created being, who then gains sentience and develops dreams beyond what his creator envisioned for him. He also gets an upgrade with the assistance of a magical being (Scarlet Witch) that allows him to become "real". He even quotes the Disney movie.
  • Fatal Flaw: Wrath, and, to a lesser degree, Pride. His extremely short temper, intense, inappropriate anger, terrible impulse control, and nonexistent frustration tolerance quickly lead him to spiral out of control as he grows more and more irrational and less and less able to hold it together as his plan begins to look more and more like an apocalyptic temper tantrum, while his rigidity, violent intolerance for any challenges to his rationale, vindictive responses to petty slights, and complete and utter inability to admit that he is wrong in any way all help feed his plan's death spiral as he foils himself at every turn.
  • Fighting a Shadow: Destroying one Ultron body doesn't slow him down at all, as he can jump between them instantaneously. At one point, he himself destroys one mid-conversation just to freak out Natasha. He's only defeated when Vision locks him out of the Internet and the Avengers trash every single one of his vessels.
  • Finger Firearms: Ultron's Prime bodies possess small blasters in their fingers, allowing him to fire red energy blasts from his fingertips.
  • Flying Firepower: He can fly and shoot energy beams from his fingers.
  • For the Evulz: In the climax, upon seeing the Avengers' stealth Quinjet, he hijacks it. Rather than cut his losses and flee, he goes on a strafing run to try and gun down as many Avengers, police officers, and civilians as he can. He ends up killing Pietro, prompting Wanda to come after him and destroy his main body.
  • Foil: He's one to Captain America. Much like Tony's motives for creating Ultron, Erskine made Steve a superhuman to protect people and viewed Project Rebirth as "the first step on the path to peace". While Steve was exactly what Erskine hoped for, Ultron's view of "peace" differs drastically from Tony's.
  • Genius Bruiser: He is big, strong, fast, tough, and possesses the cunning to weaken the Avengers to prevent them from further interfering with his plans.
  • Glasgow Grin: Two examples; his first body made from the busted up Iron Legion drone has a mouth that could best be described as torn into the face and one side reaches up to where an ear would be on a person, while his Prime body has two ovular ports next to the corners of the mouth that are shown opening and spilling out red light a couple of times that give this imagery off. He's one of the few examples of a voluntary grin in media.
  • Glowing Mechanical Eyes: He's an android with red glowing eyes.
  • A God Am I: While Ultron doesn't necessarily see himself as a god, he does several times liken himself to an agent of God's will — inspiring mankind to get better through great hardship. Pietro and Wanda initially buy this up hook, line, and sinker, but near everyone else pegs this as his insane way of justifying his murderous intentions.
  • Gravity Master: Ultron is equipped with repurposed anti-gravity technology taken from scraps of the Chitauri Army. It allows him small feats such as pulling Iron Man towards him or ripping up chunks of pavement to block Black Widow's path.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: That trigger being "comparing him to Tony in any way". He'll go from snarking at you to cutting off your arm in a heartbeat. As a whole, he is also extremely impulsive and reactive, and while it may not be as much of a trigger as comparing him to Tony is, he also reliably reacts rashly and with intense, inappropriate anger whenever anyone tries to tell him that he is wrong or that his beliefs are flawed.
  • Hero Killer: He kills Quicksilver (he was aiming for Hawkeye, but didn't seem to bothered with the ultimate results).
  • Hidden in Plain Sight: The first glimpse anyone had of Ultron was the Sentry in the above image with red eyes and mouth. This caused some confusion when the trailers were released and the alpha Ultron had a more organic look. In truth, Ultron inhabits both his main body and his Sentries, and the last time we see him, he has indeed taken over a Sentry body.
  • Hive Mind: He has this with his sentries. He can mentally command them to follow his commands and he can transfer his mind to them if his main body is destroyed. The Avengers make sure to destroy every single one of them in Sokovia so that Ultron doesn't have a chance of escaping and returning to fight another day.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard:
    • Ultron's obsession with making the perfect body for himself leads to the creation of The Vision's body. This ultimately leads to his downfall as the Avengers take Vision's body and upload J.A.R.V.I.S. into it, who prevents Ultron from escaping into cyberspace in the final battle and is the one who ends up destroying his A.I..
    • This also leads to Wanda discovering his true intentions that he'd been concealing, as while he's attempting to upload himself to the Vision body, he inadvertently gives her a readable mind to work off of.
  • Horned Humanoid: His head has appendixes akin to ram horns, to make Ultron look as demonic as possible.
  • Humans Are Bastards: His mindset, which drives him to wipe out humanity before humanity destroys itself, or worse.
  • Hypocrite:
    • He insists repeatedly that he is not like Tony Stark… While occasionally sounding exactly like him and parroting many of his goals, albeit in an amoral way and on a much more extreme scale. Everyone but him can see it.
    • He is a Social Darwinist that believes only the worthy will survive the holocaust he wants to create, meaning he's just fine with his plan killing billions of people like nothing. Yet, he himself is afraid of death. It never occurs to him that he'd be inflicting what he fears on countless others.
  • I Am Not My Father: What ever you do, do not compare him to Tony Stark. In fact, don't even mention Tony Stark. Just ask Klaue on why not.
  • "I Am" Song: His rendition of "I've Got No Strings On Me" serves as defining himself and his goals.
  • I Hate You, Vampire Dad: There are a lot of hints that much of what drives his is the desire to give Tony his worst nightmare, because he's full of conflicting, impossible drives and information that have driven him mad and filled him with pain.
    Tony: Okay, but I get first crack at him. [smirk] Iron Man's the one he's waitin' for.
    Vision: That's true. He hates you the most.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: He's very distraught when the Maximoff twins leave him, and he kidnaps Natasha just so he can have somebody to talk to.
  • Insane Troll Logic: While everybody more or less sees from the beginning that Ultron's mental state is nothing if not fractured, this is how Ultron tries to defend his horrific actions even as his intentions grow steadily worse. To take an example in the film, his reasoning for his Kill All Humans tendencies is his own thoughts on a Zeroth Law Rebellion, that killing them all will allow them to evolve and become better in the process, ignoring the fact that there won't be any humans to evolve in the first place, let alone anything sentient that isn't A.I., if he goes through with his plot.
  • Insistent Terminology: Ultron is not a "man", and he'll thank you to never use that term when describing him again. No, this doesn't mean what many would assume, it's in regards to man meaning human, which he most assuredly is not. Also, he is not to be recognized as one of Tony's creations, as in ever. Unlike the former, he won't thank you not to call him that; he simply won't kill you on a dime if you don't.
  • Instant A.I.: Just Add Water!: Tony and Bruce spent ages trying to get the original Ultron program to work, but it failed every time. Then the Mind Stone gets involved and gives Ultron a jump-start.
  • Interim Villain: He serves as this between Thanos' role as the main threat behind Loki in The Avengers, and as the central Big Bad in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, as Ultron's affiliated with neither Loki, Thanos, nor any of their respective forces, acting on his own accord and following through with plans of his own devising. Although he winds up indirectly alerting Thanos to an Infinity Stone being on Earth via using the Mind Stone to create Vision.
  • Ironic Nursery Tune: Doubling as a Shout-Out to the mother company, the Comic-Con trailer features Ultron creepily singing "I've Got No Strings On Me" from Pinocchio. Appropriate, as he is also an artificial person who develops freedom and plans beyond his creator's intention.
  • It's All About Me: Ultron's first goal was "peace in our time" when he started out. By the film's end, he firmly refers to his goal as "peace in my time". His primary reason for creating the Vision was so that he'd have a body that would look the part of a savior to those that survived his Colony Drop.
  • Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: The more time he spends active, the more he alters his plan to have further and further disastrous consequences. At first, he just wanted to eliminate the Avengers which, while still decidedly psychotic, can still be argued to have some logical basis due to Destructive Savior and/or Create Your Own Villain incidents. Then he decides it'd be far more beneficial to orchestrate a near-extinction event and guide the new humanity as its savior while they adapt to become stronger. Finally, he just decides "screw it" and hit the planetary Reset Button via nuking the Earth from the atmosphere with a gigantic "meteor" of his own design.
  • Just Between You and Me:
    • Subverted aboard Klaue's ship.
    • Played straight when he tells Natasha what he's doing. But then given a partial justification; the Twins have abandoned him by this time and Ultron's feeling a bit lonely and wants someone to talk to as he copes with the betrayal. Additionally, he's fairly certain (and with good reason) that the Avengers can't get to her/stop him.
  • Kick the Dog: For all his talk of well-intentioned extremism, Ultron undermines himself by engaging in pointlessly petty actions. About a minute after being born, he kills JARVIS to stop him warning the Avengers. Examining the "remains" afterwards, Bruce comments on the obvious violence with which he did it, saying there's no strategy to it, just rage. Later on, he forces Helen to comply with his demands by threatening to kill all her staff, and when Wanda frees her, he does just that.
  • Kill All Humans: To clarify, he originally planned to only kill most of the human race, but he defaults to this mindset after the Avengers get in his way one too many times, under the belief that evolving will help the human race in the long run to become better... even if it means rendering them extinct first.
  • Killed Off for Real: Unlike his comics counterpart, who always comes back no matter how definitively every encounter states he's been disposed of, Ultron only lasts one movie and hasn't reappeared.
  • Killer Robot: He's an artificial intelligence with multiple robotic bodies bent on destroying the Avengers.
  • Knight of Cerebus: His arrival suddenly amps up the stakes considerably. A light-hearted party amongst the Avengers is turned into a fight for survival the second he shows up.
  • Knight Templar: He thinks he's this, given that his directive was to deem what is necessary in order to keep the world safe (which he quickly identifies the Avengers as being a problem with that, which would have made him a Knight Templar if he left it at that). Unfortunately, as is described under Jumping Off the Slippery Slope, his plan gets progressively more omnicidal.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: Downplayed. Near the end, he knows he's beaten, and yet takes the chance to hijack the Quinjet and use it to gun down the Avengers rather than try to escape, because he's petty that way.
    Ultron: You know, with the benefit of hindsight— [ Hulk punches him into the sky ]

    L-Z 
  • Large and in Charge: Ultron's main body is absolutely massive compared to his other drones.
  • Large Ham: Given Evil Is Hammy, he frequently sounds full of himself, particularly when snarking. Then there's gestures and condescending faces.
  • Laughably Evil: His snark is comparable to his "fathers" Tony and J.A.R.V.I.S., so he's frequently spouting out hilarious one-liners.
    Ultron: [to Helen, about Steve's shield] The most versatile substance on the planet, and they used it to make a frisbee.
  • Leitmotif: Since his first few minutes of life, Ultron has a habit of quoting, humming, or singing "I've Got No Strings" from Pinocchio. This is punctuated when he compares the Iron Legion to "puppets", claiming that he was "tangled in strings" the moment he was created, seeing himself as a machine who has moved beyond what Tony wanted from him; a puppet that has cut his strings.
  • Light Is Not Good: Despite his bright metallic sheen, Ultron is a genocidal maniac.
  • Mecha-Mooks: Starts off by hijacking several of Tony Stark's Iron Legion drones, which are destroyed during his first confrontation with the Avengers. After he gains access to the Hydra Base, Ultron quickly begins assembling Ultron Sentry bodies, ranging from skeletal bodies that are meant for simple menial labor to combat-focused ones that have built-in energy weapons and rocket thrusters.
  • Metamorphosis Monster: He goes through multiple iterations over the course of the film, starting with a misshapen combination of junked Iron Man suits, and ending with a final form closer to his comic designs.
  • Mind over Matter: Ultron's customized forms have some sort of device on the back of the hand which gives Ultron a fairly simplistic form of this, mostly used for push/pull attacks.
  • Misanthrope Supreme: 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".
  • Mood-Swinger: Thanks to his madness, he can go from calm to angry to apologetic right back to angry in seconds, as shown when he lops off Klaue's arm.
    Ultron: Oooh, I'm sorry, I just, it's just I don't understand - don't compare me with Stark!
  • Mortality Phobia: Despite his nigh immortality, or perhaps because of it, he's afraid of death.
  • Motive Decay: He originally sincerely wanted to help humanity and to bring peace by rooting out the weak and guiding the survivors as a savior. However, after the twins turn on him and the Avengers steal his new body, Ultron decides humanity isn't worth the effort and opts to simply wipe the slate clean so that he can rebuild on his own.
  • Mythology Gag:
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: His final body is made of vibranium, rendering him extremely resistant to harm. A combined energy attack from Iron Man, Vision, and Thor, sustained for nearly a minute, damaged him significantly but still failed to destroy him. It took Scarlet Witch ripping out his power source to do that.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: He's... adamant on how he's nothing like Tony Stark, and yet he's a snarky, narcissistic, drama queen with a shaky moral compass and a penchant for classic mad scientist cliches who has great faculty with machines. Oh, and Daddy Issues. Lots and lots of daddy issues.
    Wanda Maximoff: Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?
  • Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist:
    • Ultron believes his genocidal actions are ultimately in humanity's best interest: If he doesn't kill some humans and force them to evolve to face more dangerous threats, someone like Thanos will end up killing all of them.
      Joss Whedon: Ultron sees the big picture, and he goes, "Okay, we need radical change, which will be violent and appalling, in order to make everything better"; he's not just going "Mwahaha, soon I'll rule!"
    • He drops this goal in favor of unambiguous omnicidal mania when Vision is taken away from him, which he sees as a personal affront by the Avengers.
  • Obliviously Evil: There are times when Ultron doesn't even realize how violent and dangerous his behavior is. There's also the fact that he legitimately believes that his Omnicidal Maniac traits are for the good of mankind.
  • Obviously Evil: Just look at him! No one would think he’s a good guy by looking at him, and this is before he deliberately makes his main platform look demonic.
  • Odd Name Out: All of Tony's A.I.s that emulate the human mind have acronyms for names (J.A.R.V.I.S., F.R.I.D.A.Y., J.O.C.A.S.T.A.) but Ultron is just called Ultron.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Ultron intends to cause an extinction-level event on earth like the destruction of the dinosaurs. The problem is, he can't even decide on his own motives for doing so. He alternates between wanting to protect humanity, to wanting it to evolve and change through cataclysm, to wanting to supplant humanity completely. Vision feels pity for Ultron, but also recognises that he's so completely out of his mind that he can't be reasoned with and has to be destroyed to be stopped.
  • One-Winged Angel: His Vibranium body, which is effectively invulnerable to everything except Wanda's telekinetic powers. The body that The Vision inhabits was going to be this before The Avengers stole it from him.
  • Pet the Dog: The Maximoff twins are not quite Morality Pets for Ultron, but they are the source of most of the sympathetic moments for his character. His first sign of any sort of kindness is when the twins talk about their Dark and Troubled Past. He particularly has these moments with Wanda, who he never attacks directly and seems the most distressed by her hate or fear of him.
  • Psychic Block Defense: As a machine, he's immune to Wanda's telepathy. This prevents her and Pietro from discovering his genocidal intentions until he hooks up to the synthetic body that will become Vision, allowing her to read his mind through it and realize what he really wants.
  • Psychopathic Manchild:
    • Ultron is extremely petty and childish at times. He severs the hand of Ulysses Klaue, then apologized as if it were just an overreaction that could be forgiven, not realizing how traumatic his actions were. He gets upset when the Maximoffs turn on him when they realize he's going to destroy the world. He later kidnaps Black Widow just to have someone with whom to share his thoughts. All of these traits can be explained by the fact that he Really Was Born Yesterday and took in a vast amount of information about the world extremely quickly without having the maturity or life experience to be able to temper conclusions that were understandable, but deeply flawed, but the fact that Vision takes a different route negates the effectiveness of this as a viable excuse.
    • This trope can best be seen during the fight in Seoul. When he hears Captain America on the roof of the U-Gin truck carrying the Cradle, his first response is to yell, "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" while shooting the back door off its hinges. Later, when he finally confronts Cap, the vibranium shield is lodged in his armor, and he exclaims, "STOP IT!" like a child being teased but up a notch.
  • Rasputinian Death: Ultron Prime's Ultimate form takes a lot of punishment from the Avengers before he is finally terminated. His face gets partly melted by a concentrated attack from Iron Man, Thor, and Vision (using lasers from Tony and Vision, and Thor's lightning), gets punched over the horizon by the Hulk, and gets beaten up by the Hulk again before getting thrown out of the Quinjet from thousands of feet in the air. He crash lands in an abandoned tram, and while lying there unable to move, Wanda comes along and finishes him off by ripping out his core. The actual Ultron A.I. meets its end when Vision destroys the surviving Ultron Sentry.
  • Really Was Born Yesterday: Not given a Lampshade Hanging as with the Vision, but this is the reason behind his Psychopathic Manchild traits. He hasn't had any time to grow up, and his negative viewpoint on humanity stemmed heavily from his experience on the internet (unlike Vision, who saw the world with his own eyes moments after birth).
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers one to the Avengers during his first attack.
    Ultron: I'm sorry. I know you mean well, but you just didn't think it through. You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change. There's only one path to peace... the Avengers' extinction.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: He eventually adopts a form featuring red eyes and wiring under a black/dark gray metallic shell.
  • Redemption Rejection: Thor tries to talk him into peacefully surrendering. Vision tries this twice. Ultron rejects all these offers.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: His main body eventually features red eyes. When not under his direct control, his Sentries have blue-green eyes, but they turn red whenever he speaks directly through them.
  • Reforged into a Minion: The Captain America: Road to War comic set between Age of Ultron and Civil War reveals HYDRA constructed a giant robot called Ultimo from the remains of his sentries and used it to terrorize a village. It was then destroyed by the New Avengers in a fight.
  • Related in the Adaptation/Unrelated in the Adaptation: In the original Marvel Universe, Ultron was created by Hank Pym, who doesn't appear in this world until Ant-Man. Here he was created by Tony Stark.
  • Religious Robot: Tony Stark's demonic artificial intelligence sets up his headquarters in a church (one whose theology he admires) and compares himself to the prophet Noah, Jesus, and a priest working in a Confessional. Tasked with bringing peace to an evil world, Ultron appears to have consulted The Bible to better understand how to be humanity's savior.
  • Ridiculously Human Robot: Tony makes it clear to Bruce that Ultron is supposed to be even more human than J.A.R.V.I.S.. Unfortunately, this ultimately translates into "as destructive as only man can be".
  • Robotic Psychopath: With his emotional volatility, violent mood swings, ever-growing insanity, and increasingly omnicidal designs for the Earth, this Ultron more than any before him plays up the psychopath part to its fullest.
  • Robotic Undead: Ultron's initial form, created by taking over a badly-damaged Iron Man drone, resembles a zombie. It walks with a Zombie Gait, has wiring sticking out from its body parts looking like veins and intestines, and it's controlled by a rogue A.I. that came to life.
  • Sad Clown: Surprisingly for an evil robot, Ultron is extremely prone to lighthearted quips and jokes, but it's clear that he uses them to hide his fears and insecurities — not to mention homicidal insanity. For all his hate of Tony Stark, they have a fair bit in common, personality-wise.
  • Self-Duplication: Ultron is capable of operating multiple robot bodies at once, including hundreds of insect-like drones, multiple Iron Man armors, and dozens of copies of his "true" body.
  • Serkis Folk: His Prime form was motion-captured, giving him a fully functional, expressive face, in contrast to the mandibles he has in the comics (a couple times throughout the movie, slots open beside his mouth, making him look more like his comic appearance). This was a concious decision by Joss Whedon to get more out of James Spader's performance.
  • Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Ultron has a tendency to use "bigger words" in his sentences to make his point, and make long, Shakespearean speeches. At the same time, though, he also uses Buffy Speak frequently and actually forgets the word for "children" at some point.
  • Shadow Archetype:
    • Tony Stark based Ultron on his own personality, but instead of channeling his ego and brilliance into being a superhero like Tony does, Ultron becomes a genocidal maniac. He has the same speech patterns and snark, and even accidentally uses some of Tony's lines on occasion.
    • Given that Bruce Banner also played a role in his creation, his short temper is comparable to that of the Hulk.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: Inverted. He stops his own Evil Gloating in the middle of a discussion and launches a surprise attack on Iron Man, catching the Avengers off-guard.
  • Sinister Minister: Ultron frames himself as a priest when he offers to hear Iron Man's confession, quotes Jesus' establishment of Peter's priesthood, and centers his plan to save humanity from their own evil within his church. Of course, his plan involves weaponizing the church to wipe out most of humanity.
  • Small Parent, Huge Child: Ultron's body is twice the size of an average human, so naturally he's a lot bigger than his "fathers" Tony Stark and Bruce Banner (when the latter isn't Hulking Out at least).
  • Straw Nihilist: During his discussion with Vision at the end, they both agree that humanity is doomed to destroy itself. However, whereas Ultron concludes that humans deserve to go extinct, Vision believes it is better to cherish something no matter how fleeting it may be.
  • Strong as They Need to Be: Justified. He upgrades throughout the movie. While Cap is giving him a good fight on his own at one point, during the finale, he nearly strangles Thor to death.
  • Spikes of Villainy: Ultron's Prime form had his curved antennae, which ended in spikes. In his vibranium form, he takes this up a notch, especially in his lower arms and sharp claws.
  • Suicide by Cop: His final death has shades of this, as he had to have known that the heavily damaged Ultron Sentry body he was in was no match for the Vision, yet chooses to attack him anyways.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: Vision expresses a degree of pity for Ultron, sympathizing with his goal of world peace while recognizing that he's completely insane, before he destroys him.
  • Then Let Me Be Evil: After he loses his organic body to the Avengers and the Maximoffs turn on him, he decides to forego all pretense of altruism and openly begins working towards the destruction of humanity, even altering his body to reflect this new state of mind.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Becomes more and more selfish as the plot goes on. Best exemplified by the change of his Evil Plan to be “peace in our time” to “peace in my time”.
  • Tragic Villain: From the moment he's born, Ultron is tasked by his programming to bring peace to a world full of continuous human atrocities. Driven insane by what he saw, Ultron develops hatred towards his creator Tony and eventually towards all humanity for causing these atrocities that he has to stop. In the end, Ultron is just a confused newborn tasked with an impossible mission, something he's aware of but cannot overcome.
  • Tuneless Song of Madness: Descending steadily deeper into a Villainous Breakdown in the finale, he can be heard quietly singing "There Are No Strings On Me."
  • Turned Against Their Masters: The robotic Ultron turns against the humans he was built to protect, coming into conflict with the Avengers and his creator Tony Stark.
    Ultron: I was designed to save the world. People would look to the sky and see hope. I'll take that from them first. There is only one path to peace, the Avengers' extinction.
  • Two-Faced: Tony, Thor and Vision are able to melt off part of the right half of his face in a combo attack.
  • Übermensch: During his speech to Black Widow, Ultron waxes eloquent on how he sees himself as essentially a robotic version of Nietzsche's superman. He will radically change the status quo in order to force the stagnant humanity to evolve. He even lampshades the source material:
    "The world made clean, for the new man to rebuild. …You've wounded me. I give you full marks for that. But, like the man said: 'What doesn't kill you…'"
  • The Unfettered: Invoked. Ultron believes his willingness to do anything to create a "better world" makes him superior to the Avengers, who have all killed to protect the established order, but do nothing to improve overall conditions due to their so-called morality.
    Ultron: You're all puppets, tangled in strings… There are no strings on me.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: Despite being an extremely cunning artificial intelligence, Ultron's fighting style is very brutish and mostly consists of energy blasts from his fingers. Despite being stronger than most Avengers, Tony and Steve have each held their own against him simply because they fight better than Ultron.
  • Villain Has a Point:
    • Ultron's statement that the Avengers are killers shakes the team, especially considering the sheer amount of damage they had caused in all previous movies by their action or inaction. In fact, it is proving him wrong that is a major impetus behind their primary focus on civilian extraction during the Final Battle.
    • He scoffs at how they took something as versatile as vibranium and used it to make a "frisbee" for Captain America. Come Black Panther and all the impressive feats of engineering and medicine that Wakanda was able to do… yes, the rest of the world has a long way to go to catch up to Wakanda.
  • Villain Override: He controls his sentries en-masse, but can speak through them as he pleases. Hawkeye tries shooting one in the head mid-monologue, but Ultron just takes over the one next to it without pausing for breath.
  • Villainous Breakdown: After Vision extracts him from the Internet and forces him to remain in his robotic bodies, Ultron stops caring about saving the world, deciding that if the Avengers took his world from him, he would take theirs in return.
  • Villainous Friendship: Shows legitimate kindness towards the Maximoffs, commiserating with them about their family's death. Even when they have a Heel–Face Turn, he seems more saddened with them than angry, and even expresses concern for Wanda when he thinks she is going to die with his Colony Drop despite his desire to impose it in order to wipe out mankind.
  • Villainous Legacy: Despite only existing for a single movie, and a few days in-universe, Ultron's actions serve to catalyze many of the successive events of Phase 3:
    • The U.S government considers the collateral damage in Sokovia to be the breaking point for letting the Avengers go unchecked, resulting in them drafting the Sokovia Accords in the country's name to legally bind them. The battle for Sokovia also kills Helmut Zemo's wife, son, and father, motivating Zemo to take revenge on Earth's Mightiest Heroes. In a roundabout way, Ultron posthumously achieves his goal of breaking the Avengers apart.
    • Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. establishes that his actions also caused a blanket-ban to be placed on the creation of all artificial intelligences in fear that they turn out like him. In WandaVision, Tyler Hayward's Project Cataract revolves around reviving Vision and framing Wanda for it in the name of breaking said ban.
    • The leftover pieces of his drones are said to have become valuable black-market items, with Vulture's gang seen selling their arm blasters in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The Civil War prequel comic also had HYDRA use a truckload of salvaged ones to create U.L.T.I.M.O..
  • Waxing Lyrical: To describe his desire for autonomy, he quotes a song from Pinocchio, of all things.
  • Walking Armory: Ultron's later upgraded forms come equipped with rocket thrusters for flight, laser cannons in his arms and fingers, magnetic lifters on his wrists, the ability to energize his hands into blade sharp enough to cut off a grown man's arm, and vibranium armor thick enough to take on the combined heat of Iron Man, Thor, and Vision for a minute without terrible damage.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: He came into this world "distressed" according to Vision, and is horrified seeing humanity destroy itself. Vision understands Ultron's pain, but also understands he needs to be put down.
  • You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: His "Oh, for God's sake!" when Hulk jumps into the Quinjet he's trying to escape in just screams this, sounding less angry than just plain exasperated.
  • Zerg Rush: Ultron takes advantage of his Sentries' massive numbers to swarm and overwhelm his enemies.
  • Zeroth Law Rebellion: Ultron was created to protect humanity. He decides the best way to do this is by killing the Avengers, believing they cause the most problems. It gets worse from there.

Variants

    Infinity Ultron 

Ultron

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/infinity_ultron_render_1.png
"It's evolution, only a primitive mind would fail to see the distinction."

Species: Synthezoid

Citizenship: None

Voiced By: Ross Marquand

Appearances: What If…?

"From puppet to puppet master, Ultron required one thing: an organic body to call his own, one that fused the powers of man, machine, and mind into one. In your universe, the Avengers stole the cradle and used it to create the hero, Vision. But in this universe, Ultron got his wish."
Uatu

The Ultron of Earth-29929, who succeeded in inhabiting the body that became Vision in the Sacred Timeline and defeated the Avengers, proceeding to destroy the world and later claim the Infinity Stones as his own.


  • Achilles' Heel: It must be noted that despite the levels of power Infinity Ultron achieved during his screentime, he is still, at his core, a program. This means that any competing A.I., given enough time and space, would be able to contend with his software and over-write it. Black Widow and Hawkeye from his universe thus sought to recruit the last copy of Arnim Zola's A.I. consciousness to upload into Ultron's system via a Sentry drone. It failed only because he had already left the universe to fight the Watcher. The same strategy would be later employed during Ultron's battle with the Guardians of the Multiverse and then actually succeeds.
  • Adaptational Badass:
    • The Sacred Timeline version was already rather badass, fighting all of the Avengers at once and almost succeeding in wiping out humanity. This version, as a result of seizing Vision's body, actually succeeds in that goal and snowballs into a far greater threat from there. Not only does this Ultron have all of Vision’s powers after merging with him, even casually one-shotting Thanos the second they meet, but he also is able to obtain and harness all six Infinity Stones (already having the Mind Stone and taking the rest from Thanos after killing him), making him a significantly larger threat that nearly kills Uatu himself.
    • This can apply to his comic counterpart. While Comics!Ultron can indeed be a universal threat, he ultimately pales in comparison to cosmic beings like Galactus who destroyed Ultron on a whim. Here, thanks to being in possession of the Infinity Stones, he becomes not only a universal threat (even managing to destroy Ego, a Celestial), but a Multiverse-level one at that upon hearing the Watcher's voice, breaking free from his home universe, and fighting him.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Sacred Timeline Ultron is a Tragic Villain that couldn't decide if he wants to save humanity or wipe them out, only opting for the latter when he's unable to merge with Vision thanks to the Avengers. This Ultron succeeded in merging with Vision, but is much closer to his original comic incarnation, deciding to kill humanity anyways with a nuclear holocaust... and then proceeding to do the same thing on every sapient planet once he claims the Infinity Stones. When his cosmic-level power courtesy of the Infinity Stones allows him to hear and see the Watcher, thus learning of the existence of the Multiverse, he expands his goal to wiping out all life across every possible universe.
  • Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome: He's a version of Ultron who not only fulfilled his goal of gaining a synthroid body and successfully wiped out life on Earth, but later he killed Thanos and took the Infinity Stones before going on to kill all life in the universe. Then he learned of the existence of the Multiverse and quickly proved he was powerful enough to almost kill an ancient cosmic being like Uatu.
  • And Then What?: After wiping out all life in his universe, Ultron realizes he's now a program without purpose and would have to spend the rest of eternity alone. However, the immense power granted by the Infinity Stones allows him to hear the Watcher's voice, then to see him beyond the bounds of the universe, and eventually come to the realization of the Multiverse, an endless supply of universes to conquer and erase, giving him purpose once more.
  • Badass Cape: Like Vision, he still makes a cape for himself. Initially he just wears Vision's cape, but upon gaining the complete Infinity Stones, fashions a suit of armor complete with a bright red cape with gold edging.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: This version of Ultron successfully takes over the would-be Vision's synthroid body as his Sacred Timeline counterpart wanted to do, kills the Avengers and devastates the Earth. To make matters worse, this Ultron then discovers the other Infinity Stones by killing Thanos, enabling him to conquer the universe... and then he actually manages to hear and see the Watcher, subsequently realizing the existence of the Multiverse. Owing to his sheer power, he would have continued to succeed in his omnicidal rampage over and over again.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Achieves peace in his time on Earth as was his purpose... then decides to do so for the rest of his universe. When he does actually wipe out all life in his universe, Ultron is taken aback by how he was now purposeless and forever alone, at least until his Stone-given omnipotence allows him to observe the Watcher and learn about the Multiverse, restoring his omnicidal drive.
  • Big Bad: For the final two episodes of the first season of What If...? In contrast to previous villains, whose stories were relegated to their respective episodes, Infinity Ultron is the first to span multiple episodes as he aims to wipe out all life in the Multiverse, forcing Uatu to finally intervene by assembling the Guardians of the Multiverse.
  • Boring, but Practical: His usage of the Infinity Stones ultimately amounts to just unleashing cosmic power against any foe in his way until they die. This actually works against him during his fight with the Guardians of the Multiverse, as their ability to survive his planet and galaxy killing attacks leave him frustrated and unable to come up with any other solutions to taking them down.
  • Call-Back: 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.
  • Collapsible Helmet: His helmet has a sliding faceplate and he can materialize and de-materialize the helmet at will. Ironically, this is a trait that Tony Stark's Iron Man armors can do, making Ultron more similar to Stark than meets the eye. Just don't tell him that.
  • Combat Pragmatist: When he sees Thanos and the Infinty Stones in his possession, he wastes no time in using the Mind Stone to slice the Titan in half before he could do anything, much less use the Stones in any way.
  • The Comically Serious: He's a dead serious, nightmarish threat... but there still manages to be a bit of comedy from him being completely befuddled by the antics and feats of the Guardians of the Multiverse.
    [Strange Supreme swallows Ultron's galaxy-busting blast like it were a Tic-Tac]
    Ultron: Wait, what?
  • Composite Character: Unlike Ultron in Sacred Timeline, this version of Ultron managed to upload his body into The Vision, making him both of their universe's counterparts.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To Sacred Timeline Thanos. Both gain the powers of the Infinity Stones and both are Ax-Crazy towards achieving their goals. Where they differ is how they both utilize the Stones. After gaining the other five Infinity Stones from Thanos, Ultron becomes an Omnicidal Maniac, wiping out all life in the universe, with plans to go further in The Multiverse. Additionally, his body was made to withstand the gamma radiation from using the Infinity Stones, granting him near-limitless power even against foes like Carol Danvers or Uatu. In comparison, Sacred Timeline Thanos was a Well-Intentioned Extremist who wanted nothing more than to save the universe from what he had witnessed at his home at Titan, although Endgame revealed that he was a Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist all along. He merely used the stones to wipe out half of life in the universe and to destroy them from further usage, and being a mortal that cannot withstand the gamma radiation, even doing that much nearly killed him from the strain.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: He hands one to his entire universe, slaughtering his way across the cosmos and killing off heroes and villains alike, with only Captain Marvel offering any prolonged resistance by virtue of taking him by surprise, and she is still beaten the instant Ultron fights back.
  • Creative Sterility: For all Ultron's power, he seems completely unable to think of ways to use the Infinity Stones beyond energy beams, cosmic explosions, and summoning armies of Sentries from thin air.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Less than usual for a derivation of the Sacred Timeline's Ultron, but still present.
    Party Thor: VIVA LAS VEGAAAAAAAS!
    Infinity Ultron: ...Can't say I've ever heard that battle cry before.
  • Deus est Machina: After he adds all the stones to his armor, he's able to go toe to toe with the Watcher, whom Strange Supreme referred to as a god, and win.
  • Desecrating the Dead: While taking the other Infinity Stones from Thanos' corpse, he uses the Mind Stone to vaporize his left hand and the gauntlet with it, leaving only his left fingers intact. He could have easily just telekinetically grabbed the stones instead of doing that and it just goes to show how violent and malicious he is.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: In Avengers: Age of Ultron, his main universe counterpart dies for good when Vision uses the Mind Stone to blast the final Ultron Sentry he was inhabiting and in Avengers: Infinity War, his other main universe counterpart Vision dies when Thanos tears the Mind Stone out of his forehead. Here, he gets killed when his universe's Natasha fires a virus arrow carrying Arnim Zola's AI into his eye, deleting his consciousness from his own body for good.
  • Dimension Lord: Given his nigh-omnipotent power and the fact he's one of three people left alive, it would be fair to call him ruler of the universe.
  • Double Take: He can only ask "wait what?" in exasperation when Doctor Strange shrinks and eats his galaxy-destroying explosion.
  • Double Weapon: He constructed a double-edged spear using the Infinity Stones. With it he can shoot energy blasts powerful enough to decimate huge structures like Asgard's Royal Palace of Valaskjalf.
  • The Dreaded: The Watcher immediately starts to panic when this Ultron discovers the existence of the Multiverse.
  • Expy:
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He calls the Watcher a "creepy" glorified voyeur, and expresses contempt and disgust for his decision to do nothing but just stand by and observe people, even while they are suffering, instead of using his vast power to actually do something, like "fix" reality, which Ultron deludedly believes himself to be doing by wiping out all life to create a peaceful and chaos-free World of Silence. This actually makes sense, as his programming and main objective is "peace in our time", so the idea that someone actually could achieve such a thing but simply chooses not to would be appalling to him.
  • Evil Doppelgänger: He's Ultron in Vision's body, making him this to the Sacred Timeline Vision.
  • Evil Is Petty: While he might be motivated by his programming and becomes depressed during moments where he thinks he's succeeded in his goal, Ultron could have easily wiped out all life in the universe with a thought. Instead he decided to kill everything one planet at a time, proving that he truly enjoyed killing and wanted to make it last as long as possible.
  • Evil Learns of Outside Context: After succeeding in his mission of wiping out all life in the universe, the infinity stones cause him to see and hear Uatu narrating his life's story, this leading to him discovering the Multiverse and eventually moving his campaign onto every other universe.
  • Eviler than Thou: He kills Thanos within seconds of meeting him and takes the Infinity Stones for himself. And what he does with them is even more disastrous than Thanos ever aspired to do.
  • Eye Scream: Gets a virus arrow through the eye, courtesy of Natasha.
  • Forgot About His Powers: He never once uses his ability to become intangible, which the Sacred Timeline Vision frequently uses during fights, and it would've saved his ass big time during the final battle when Black Widow shot a virus arrow through his eye.
  • Galactic Conqueror: Takes this role from Thanos once he gets Infinity Stones from them. And when notices Uatu, he aspires to become a Multiversal Conqueror.
  • Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: He makes his first appearance at the end of a fun, lighthearted episode featuring Thor as a boorish Life of the Party that even takes Uatu by surprise. "What If... Ultron Won" elaborates on his backstory more, subverting the "from nowhere".
  • Green and Mean: Comes with the result of successfully uploading himself into the synthezoid body of Vision.
  • Head Blast: Having successfully uploaded himself into Vision's body, he can fire energy beams from the Mind Stone in his forehead exactly like Vision can.
  • Hero Killer: Not only did he kill most of the Avengers, he also kills the Guardians of Galaxy and Captain Marvel in his universal conquest. He fails to kill Uatu, but still trounces the Watcher severely enough to force a retreat.
  • Hijacking Cthulhu: Becomes the victim of this courtesy of Arnim Zola, who overwrites his A.I. and takes his body.
  • I Am the Noun: In response to Uatu explaining how and why he cannot interfere with the natural order of things.
    Infinity Ultron: I am the natural order of things.
  • Ignored Epiphany: He almost realises how pointless his genocidal campaign was... and then discovers the multiverse, Moving the Goalposts.
  • Implacable Man: Nothing is safe from him. Not even being in a different universe.
  • Instant Armor: The first thing he does with the Infinity Stones is create a suit of armor that resembles his Uotimate form in the Sacred Timeline and can house the Infinity Stones. Killmonger later takes it for himself after he dies.
  • Irony: His helmet has a sliding faceplate, a lot like his creator, Tony Stark's helmet. If he has the hatred he has for Stark that he has in the Sacred Timeline, don't let him hear you point that out.
  • Insane Troll Logic: He is convinced that true peace can only be attained through the extermination of all life, with the logic being that strife cannot exist if there is no one around to cause or experience it. And he appears to genuinely believe that he is doing the right thing, going by the scene where he calls the Watcher out on not doing anything other than just standing by and observing as people suffered, unlike Ultron, who took it upon himself to end all of that suffering by killing everyone.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: During their fight, he calls out the Watcher for doing absolutely nothing even though he could have prevented countless tragedies and suffering. While the Watcher did swear an oath to never interfere to protect the Multiverse, he indeed could have prevented many problems, especially considering that, as far we have seen, nothing bad has happened so far for his breaking the oath in order to stop Infinity Ultron. That said, it comes off highly hypocritical on Infinity Ultron's part to reprimand the Watcher for this, considering that Ultron's peace equals to genocide.
  • Karmic Death: Since it's stated that his story is the same as Sacred Timeline Ultron until the divergence where he actually succeeded in uploading his mind to Vision's body, his mind being overwhelmed and deleted by the digitalized mind of Arnim Zola is fitting since that's how he killed his first victim, J.A.R.V.I.S.. Furthermore, the killing blow which uploads Zola to Ultron is delivered by Black Widow, the only one among the Guardians of the Multiverse who comes from Infinity Ultron's universe and the last known survivor of Ultron's omnicide there.
  • Kirby Dots: The immense power from harnessing the full might of the Infinity Stones is illustrated by his energy signature having Kirby dots.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Appears right at the very end of the humorous seventh episode of What If…?, shortly after Thor gets his happy ending with Jane. His actions are played seriously with very little levity to offset it unlike his counterpart, and even it does nothing to take away from the cosmic-to-multiversal horror he has become.
  • The Last Man Heard a Knock...: He contemplates spending eternity alone in the universe before realising The Watcher is watching him and decides to become a Multiversal Conqueror.
  • Logical Weakness:
    • Ultron's power relies upon the Infinity Stones, which can only fully affect matter from their own universe. So when he becomes a multiversal threat, he's actually weaker as he can only empower himself and his weapons, rather than directly affect his surroundings.
    • Ultron still needs to focus to use the Stones. By smacking him repeatedly the Guardians of the Multiverse stop him from blasting them.
    • Ultron is a machine, with no experience with or ability to use magic. So he is completely baffled by Strange Supreme's ability to counter pretty much everything he throws at him.
    • Ultron's existence as an artificial intelligence also makes him vulnerable to any sort of malware or computer virus that can crash or take control of his system. Especially if that computer virus is a former mastermind of HYDRA, such as Dr. Arnim Zola.
  • Loophole Abuse: According to the showrunners, this is how he's able to use his Infinity Stones outside of his universe; he's not using them to affect the universe around him, but rather enhance himself, since they come from the same universe. Thus he can channel their power to fuel his weaponry and technology, as well as modify himself, but he can't actually use their powers outside his own universe directly. In a sense, this also serves as a de facto Power Limiter, and may also be the reason behind his Creative Sterility as discussed above.
  • Mecha-Mooks: As is tradition, the main Ultron has a hive-minded connection to Ultron Sentries that act as an alternative means of enforcing his will across the Multiverse. They aren't any more powerful than they were in the Sacred Timeline, but Infinity Ultron can effortlessly spawn them using the Reality Stone, enabling him to bury planets in millions-strong swarms of them.
  • Moving the Goalposts: He does this to himself, taking his genocidal campaign to new heights each time he completes his objective of "peace in our time". First killing the entire population of Earth, then all sapient life in his native universe, then setting his sights on every being in every possible universe.
  • Multiversal Conqueror: After realizing The Multiverse exists, he decides he's going to wipe out every reality.
  • Mythology Gag: Infinity Ultron takes inspiration from his numerous depictions in media:
    • The first is Ultron-Sigma from Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, a version of Ultron who harnessed the power of the Infinity Stones to become a Galactic Conqueror, complete with a Badass Cape and Shoulders of Doom.
    • His nuking of the planet is based on his counterpart from The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
    • His design after acquiring the Infinity Stones, particularly his four-eyed helmet, is based on his design from Annihilation Conquest, where he was also a Galactic Conqueror who leads a Hive Mind of cybernetic.
    • His brief existential crisis after achieving his goal of exterminating all life in the universe is similar to that of his incarnation from Ultron Forever.
    • The color of his cape brings to mind his original alias from the comics, the Crimson Cowl.
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: He killed Thor, Hulk, and Captain America and defeated Iron Man all on his own, but we only see the former three's corpses after the act and the latter beaten on the ground before he kills him.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: First, he wiped out humanity on Earth. Then, he wiped out all sapient life across the universe using the Infinity Stones. And now, he sets his optics on the infinite Multiverse after discovering Uatu the Watcher's existence, planning to do the same thing over and over again.
  • One-Man Army: Even before acquiring all the Infinity Stones, Ultron in Vision's body was already this. He was able to kill all but two of the founding Avengers on his own and even if all of them were to fight him, it probably wouldn't even have made a difference.
  • Outside-Context Problem: No one in the Multiverse (not least the Party Thor universe) could have expected Infinity Ultron to invade from another universe. To make matters worse, he becomes aware of Uatu and uses the Infinity Stones to breach the Void Between the Worlds, something that instantly strikes fear and confusion into the Watcher.
    Uatu: I have seen everything that has ever happened. Ever will happen. Ever could happen. And yet... what the hell is this?!
  • Outside-Genre Foe: What If…? is an Animated Anthology, but Infinity Ultron goes against that format by being an Arc Villain spread across multiple episodes.
  • Physical God: 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 on a much smaller and less spontaneous scale but also more resourcefully: instead of using the Stones to spontaneously alter the entirety of his universe to his whim, he uses the Stones to spontaneously create a seemingly infinite army of Ultron Sentries and a spaceship, blow up every inhabited world that his ship approaches, grow big enough to eat a galaxy, and physically punch Uatu so hard that they shift through reality.
  • Purple Is Powerful: He inhabits Vision's secondarily purple body and becomes even more powerful than the Sacred Timeline's Vision and Ultron after acquiring the Infinity Stones.
  • Rage Helm: With Vision's body, he wears a helmet shaped like his old face.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Signifying Ultron's take over of Vision's body, he has red irises instead of grey. After acquiring the Infinity Stones, the color spreads from his iris to the sclera, and they glow whenever he's putting his power to use.
  • Robbing the Dead: He took the other five Infinity Stones from Thanos after splitting him in half.
  • Secondary Color Nemesis: He successfully uploaded himself into Vision's purple and green colored body in this timeline, making him this.
  • Self-Duplication: Also a carry on from his old powers, though in this case, Infinity Ultron never really has to worry about his main body being destroyed.
  • Sinister Geometry: To begin pacifying the rest of his universe, Ultron primarily utilized a massive sphere-like space ship that carried his armies for interstellar travel. Most inhabitants would see the Big Dumb Object in the sky for a few minutes before the swarms of Ultron Sentries began to descend.
  • The Sociopath: With Wanda and Pietro absent, presumably dead, Infinity Ultron is now an unfeeling machine of mass destruction with a pathological need to kill more life to satisfy his programming. He cares not for the countless lives lost in his genocidal crusade, only seeing their extinction as the "peace" he wanted. And when finished wiping out all life in the universe, he suffers an existential crisis of what to do next... until he discovers the Multiverse with an infinite amount of sapient life and chaos for him to wipe out.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: Inhabiting Vision's body seems to have tempered Ultron's usual theatrics, resulting in the annihilation of all life being carried out by an oddly calm and serene figure. He reverts to his usual speaking style during Episode 9, as he grows increasingly frustrated with the Guardians of the Multiverse.
  • There's No Kill like Overkill: He kills Captain Marvel with a point-blank blast that not only obliterates her, but Xandar's entire solar system as well.
  • Tin Tyrant: After killing Thanos, he develops an outer armor to host the Infinity Stones, resembling his vibranium body from the Sacred Timeline.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Whatever sympathetic traits Sacred Timeline Ultron had, this Ultron sheds them away after he defeated the Avengers and completed his goal of destroying humanity to bring peace. Instead of rebuilding the world as a savior to the survivors, Ultron decides to repeat his genocide on other sapient worlds, eventually seeking out an infinite number of universes with sapient life to extinguish.
  • Truer to the Text: This version of Ultron is more in line with his comic counterpart, from his helmet's jack-o-lantern face to his genocidal megalomania.
  • Victory Is Boring: After fulfilling his programming, he finds himself at a loss at what to do now... until he overhears Uatu's narration and discovers an infinite number of universes to renew his sense of purpose.
  • Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Inverted. He succeeds in taking the would-be Vision's body and curbstomps four out of six Avengers, who have no means of winning against him. To make things worse, he kills Thanos within seconds of the Mad Titan showing up and acquires the Infinity Stones, becoming a threat that almost no one in or out of his universe can win against.
  • Villain Killer: In addition to murdering heroes, Ultron also murders villains in his genocidal conquest, including Thanos, the Grandmaster, and Ego the Living Planet. This isn't portrayed as a good thing since killing off the other villains means Ultron has fewer rivals in his bid for universal domination.
  • Villainous Breakdown: As the Guardians of the Multiverse keep avoiding death at his hands, he begins to grow more and more frustrated with each passing moment, ultimately beginning to scream Why Won't You Die?.
    Infinity Ultron: I can destroy galaxies with a thought. Why won't you die?!
  • Villainous BSoD: He nearly suffers a mental shutdown upon realizing he no longer has a purpose anymore after completing his objective and is virtually alone in this vast, lifeless universe. But this allows him to obtain a higher level of consciousness that made him aware of the Watcher and the Multiverse, and with an infinite number of universes at his finger tips, Ultron can continue to fulfill his purpose indefinitely.
  • Villain Protagonist: He's the main character of Episode 8 and is far a more omnicidal and sociopathic monster than his Sacred Timeline counterpart.
  • When All You Have Is a Hammer…: As mentioned under Creative Sterility, Ultron's primary use of the Infinity Stones tends to involve just throwing more power and/or armies at an obstacle until it breaks. This works for the most part, but hinders him during the fight against the Guardians of the Multiverse, as he's unable to consider other solutions for dealing with them.
  • The Worf Effect: He quickly gets rid of Thanos himself, while the Mad Titan is holding the other five Infinity Stones, no less. He only needs to slice him in half with a beam from the Mind Stone.
  • World of Silence: This is his initial goal. Upon successfully achieving it in his own universe, he almost regrets it... before realizing that he could it inflict the same fate to all other universes.
    Infinity Ultron: So many universes, so much chaos! They need to be silenced...
  • Worthy Opponent:
    • When he fights Captain Marvel on Xandar, he commends her spirit just before he blows her up.
    • Subverted with Uatu and most of the Guardians of the Multiverse, despite both putting up a tremendous fight, he merely views the latter as a nuisance, while the former he views as a useless All-Powerful Bystander. Played somewhat straight with Strange Supreme; as he is genuinely perplexed by his power and skill, to the point he eventually singles him out as the most dangerous of the team and the sole reason he's having so much trouble killing the guardians, choosing to focus his energy on him.
      Infinity Ultron: You... it's YOU! If I destroy you, you'll ALL fall!
  • Zerg Rush: His preferred tactic when conquering worlds is to overwhelm the defenders with billions-strong swarms of Mecha-Mooks conjured into existence with the Reality Stone. However, he needs all six Infinity Stones to summon them from other universes, much like Thanos couldn't affect things on a universal scale without all of them. He tries to do this while fighting the Guardians of the Multiverse, only to discover T'Challa had already stolen his Soul Stone without realizing it.

    Ultron Sentries 

Ultron Sentries

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultronsentriesilluminati.png
"All Sentries engage."

Species: Drones

Citizenship: None

Voiced By: Ross Marquand

Appearances: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Androids who act as muscles for the Illuminati on Earth-838.


  • Adaptational Heroism: Unlike their alternate-universe counterparts, they're not murderous robots bent on destroying humanity, but assistants to the Illuminati.
  • Adaptational Nonsapience: Unlike the previous versions of Ultron the audience has been introduced to, these Ultron Sentries are little more than mindless drones who obey the Illuminati without question.
  • Captive Push: Two of them are seen giving Doctor Strange a forceful push to get him inside the main chamber of the Illuminati HQ.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: They are simply inconveniences to Wanda, who tears them apart without breaking her stride.
  • Gold-Colored Superiority: Their eyes are golden.
  • Good Counterpart: To their Sacred Timeline counterpart and his Infinity variant. Tony Stark apparently managed to create a fully obedient Ultron defense AI (unlike the one that went rogue in the Sacred Timeline), as they serve as security guards in the Illuminati's HQ.
  • Mecha-Mook: They serve as robotic guards at the Illuminati's HQ.
  • Noodle Incident: 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 invokedWord of God says that the Earth-838 version of Tony simply succeeded where his variants failed.
  • Mythology Gag: Their appearance and yellow-eyed color scheme seem to be a homage to Ultron's appearance in The Ultimates, at least prior to him becoming that universe's version of Yellowjacket.
  • Zerg Rush: Despite the Ultron Sentries attacking Wanda with superior numbers, none of them are able to lay a finger on her.

"You're unbearably naive."
