As one in all Avengers‘ biggest villains, Ultron‘s design has been overhauled dozens of occasions. Then again, as he is taking at the West Coast Avengers along with his new cyborg cult, the genocidal AI is getting a jaw-dropping new glance that lovers by no means noticed coming. However as surprising as this new glance is, it does not solution a key query – why are there now two variations of Ultron operating across the Wonder Universe?

Ultron Turns into an Angel As He Founds His Personal Faith
Within the conclusion of West Coast Avengers #2 – from Gerry Duggan, Danny Kim, Arthur Hesli and Joe Caramagna – Ultron presentations up, debuting a wild new glance. Flanked by way of his cyborg fans, Ultron now boasts large steel wings and a clergyman’s stole, in a position to unfold what he calls “the Gospel of Ultron.” Ben Harvey’s surprising artwork for West Coast Avengers #3 (above) showcases the enduring villain’s new design – a big departure from the glance lovers noticed within the MCU, the place Ultron used to be voiced by way of James Spader.
No-one is extra surprised on the look of this new, angelic Ultron than… Ultron. The brand new West Coast Avengers are all about rehabilitating villains, pronouncing this to the general public by way of recruiting a repentant Ultron to the group. West Coast Avengers #2 finds there are actually two variations of the villain – the model running with the Avengers and this new winged model who’s main a cyborg cult. The unique Ultron has no clue what is going on along with his doppelgänger, responding to the brand new arrival with, “I do not know that man.”

Ultron’s Unpredictability Is What Makes Him a Nice Villain
In West Coast Avengers #1, Wonder confirmed a lady affected by most cancers visiting Ultron, simplest to be killed by way of the android. She used to be then ‘reborn’ in a brand new cyborg frame, adopted by way of the disclose that Ultron has dozens – if no longer loads – of fans in hibernation, it appears having suffered the similar destiny. Whether or not those other folks have really been given a 2d existence remains to be up for debate, as are Ultron’s motives. Then again, his cult does appear to be a minimum of in part trustworthy, because the robotic used to be proven yearning “redemption” when no-one else used to be round to listen to him.
Fanatics do not but know why the unique Ultron is at the group, let by myself the beginning of this 2d angelic model, on the other hand there is not essentially an enormous thriller to be solved right here. Ultron is continuously upgrading and redesigning his tool and {hardware}, and there is not any reason why a couple of copies of the robotic’s AI cannot exist directly. Whilst he would possibly hate humanity and notice AI existence as the longer term, Ultron has all the time been wildly unpredictable, and so neither becoming a member of the Avengers nor beginning his personal resurrection cult are precisely out of personality.

Wonder simply formally showed that one model of Ultron accomplished the absolute best stage of energy within the universe, vaulting the AI villain above Thanos.
As unpredictable as Ultron is, he normally works by myself, making it a wonder that he’d need to get started a faith. Till lately, Ultron used to be bonded to his writer and Avengers founder Hank Pym, and it sort of feels the revel in has given him some stage of appreciation for android/human merging, possibly resulting in his cyborg experimentation. On the identical time, Ultron’s defining trait is his hatred of all different existence bureaucracy, so even though he really desires redemption, one day his disdain for humanity goes to come back boiling to the outside – angelic new glance or no longer. With a bit of luck, the West Coast Avengers are as much as defeating no matter scheme the android has deliberate, particularly with their very own Ultron in a position and prepared to lend a hand.
West Coast Avengers #2 is to be had now from Wonder Comics, with #3 coming January 29.
