YMMV / Ultron Forever

Go To

  • Alternate Character Interpretation: Doom guesses that Ultron based his elite caste on The Avengers out of a sadistic private joke, but given how insanely lonely and lost Ultron is, it might be that's he's actually just holding on to whatever slivers of his old self that he can in the form of his old enemies, the closest thing to a relationship he ever had.
    • Ultron is going through a prolonged existential crisis because he has no idea why he killed everybody and took over the galaxy or did any of the terrible things he's done- he might have forgotten (if subconsciously) that he's based on Hank Pym's brainwaves when Pym was going through a mental breakdown out of fear that the Avengers, his wife, and the rest of the world didn't respect him and were going to abandon him, meaning Ultron's true motive is stemming from Pym's deep seated fear of abandonment and neurotic need for acknowledgement run rampant.
    • The later published Ant-Man (2022) reveals this Ultron is still the merged "Pymtron" version of Ultron, so reviving the Avengers might also be a little bit of whatever's left of Hank still rattling around in Ultron's head.
  • Awesome Moments:
    • Past Thor surviving being skewered by his future self, thanks to Doom's gambit. Past Thor comes from Walt Simonson's run, when Hela cursed him to be unable to die, so being run through does nothing. Then he forces Ultron's infection out, complete with a Badass Boast.
    • The Thors Three fighting and then atomizing All-Father Ultron with their Mjolnirs.
  • Complete Monster: All-Father Ultron dubbed himself the "Ultimate Ultron" centuries ago when he slaughtered all of Earth's heroes in a bloodbath before going on to conquer the whole planet. Having trapped all of Asgard in a mirror dimension and turned the god Loki into a suffering nanovirus to achieve All-Father status, Ultron subjected billions of humans to horrible mind alterations that left him mostly mindless "bio-slaves" who Ultron forces to maintain their own control centers out of sick amusement for the "puppets maintaining their strings". Turning several innocents into transformed superhumans he dubs his Avengers, Ultron leaves them just enough consciousness to realize their lack of control and subjugation, all while Ultron spreads his influence through the universe and plans to turn all the multiverse into one Ultron singularity.
