Vision Finally Became The Hero Age of Ultron Teased | Screen Rant – Screen Rant

Born on the heels of a tragedy in Avengers: Age of Ultron, it took Vision six years to become the hero that he was always meant to be.

Years after his birth in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Vision finally becomes the hero he was meant to be in WandaVision. Technically a player in the MCU since its inception in 2008's Iron Man, Vision was originallyTony Stark's A.I. assistant J.A.R.V.I.S. The AI helped him in managing his household by running its automation, and later served the same purpose duringTony's outings as Iron Man. Following Ultron's creation, however, he was reborn as a synthezoid, powered by the Mind Stone with his body composed of Vibranium and synthetic tissue made from Dr. Helen Cho's regeneration cradle.

Vision's arrival in the MCU came at a point when the franchise was debuting a series of new heroes following the introduction of the original Avengers. Age of Ultron also brought in Wanda and Pietro Maximoff as Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Alongside Falcon and War Machine, the synthezoid was expected to be part of the new batch of Avengers; Iron Man and Hawkeye had retired, while Hulk and Thor went on their own journeys. However, Marvel Studioswent in a different direction withThanos' arrival in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Since the Infinity Saga capper was the final hurrah for the MCU's founding heroes, the focus was back on the original Avengers until the franchise started a new chapter with Phase 4 and WandaVision.

Both Wanda and Vision have been in the MCU for years now, but WandaVision was the first time they were really at the center of its storytelling. Much like how the Disney+ series functioned as the origins story forWanda officially becoming the Scarlet Witch, her lover also had his hero moment in the show, particularly in the finale. Granted that it's more subtle, it seemed like this was Marvel Studios' way of finally delivering on their promise of an omnipotent superhero when Vision debuted in Age of Ultron,as he finally embraced his real identity.

As someone who was in the shadows for the most part of WandaVision, Vision simply went through the motions of his wife's suburbia fantasy. But after several incidents tipping him off that not everything was what it seemed in Westview, he went on a journey to solve the mystery. He learned about his pastbefore living in the hex something that Wanda may have purposefully spared him so thathe wouldn't be haunted byhis tragic death in Infinity War. Vision's encounter with Darcy Lewis wasn't just helpful for him personally it was also pivotal when he found himself pitted against a different version of himself. He used that newly acquired knowledge to unlock White Vision's memories, resulting inthe latter declaring"I am Vision."

This paralleled Tony Stark's iconic "I am Iron Man" line from the original Iron Man movie. Prior to this, Tony was instructed to not announce his superhero persona to the public, but at the very last minute, he decided against it, indicating that he was embracing this identity. Aside from admitting the existence of his alter-ego,the moment wasalso his way of committing to the responsibilities that he had as Iron Man. White Vision's declaration signaled how he's finally found his true self after a brief period of identity confusion.

When Vision was confirmed to debut on the MCU, there was a lot of excitement from comic book readers who knew his character history. Aside fromhaving one of the most unique origins, he's also very powerful, with a really impressive set of skills. However, given the plethora of characters featured in the MCU,Vision's abilities were barely explored after being teased at Age of Ultron. Even when he was tipped to be a member of the second batch of Avengers, he never really went out on missions at least nothing that's seen on the screen. He wasn't part ofthe team's Lagos operation at the start of Captain America: Civil War, and since the Avengers split up not long after that, he never got a chance to operate like a proper hero.

By Infinity War, he was more than willing to hide his identity to secretly meet-up with Wanda who was being hunted down by the government alongside other members of Team Cap due to their refusal to sign the Sokovia Accords. At this point, both of them seemed to be perfectly content living a normal life. It was really only in the WandaVision finale that he's seenusing the extent of his powerssinceAge of Ultron. Granted that he did battle some Black Order members in Infinity War, there's really nothing much that he could do since he also had to be cautious of using the Mind Stone.

Vision's makeup in the MCU is complicated. Whilehis physical form is a combination of vibranium and synthetic tissue, his mind "is made up of a complex construct of overlays. J.A.R.V.I.S., Ultron, Tony, me, the stone. All of them mixed together, all of them learning from one another,"according to Bruce Banner. But despite being an amalgamation of several things, Tony Stark is the real creator of Vision. Aside from spearheading the idea of uploading the J.A.R.V.I.S. AI to what was supposed to be Ultron's physical body, it's the genius, billionaire who created the A.I. in the first place. So the J.A.R.V.I.S. component inside Vision is technically an extension of Tony, making him the dominant part of Vision's intellectual structure. Given this,it only made sense that he embraced his heroic identity that the same way Iron Man did more than a decade ago.

What's interesting is how this relates toWanda's arc in the MCU; she and Pietro blamed Tony for the death of theirparents something that wasn't properly resolved in the MCU considering other pressing matters that needed to be dealt with. But as Wanda resented Tony for what she lost, he, in some way, made up for it by first creating J.A.R.V.I.S. who turned into Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron. WandaVision may have seen the lovers part ways again, but with white Vision with his memories intact still in existence, chances are that they'll find theirway back to each other again in the foreseeable future.

Accidental geek who is perpetually curious, Ana rekindled her love for writing several years back and married it with everything pop culture. The result is a passionate young writer who could ramble (and of course, pen) about films and series multiple hours a day. She has a soft spot for The Lion King, old songs, and home design; is currently obsessed with old sitcoms (The Golden Girls!); and won't dare watch any horror films although shes (ironically) dying to see one. Though a bit late to the party and was an actual Force non-believer, she now finds the Star Wars franchise quite fascinating (fun fact: it was a crazy Jar Jar Binks/Sith theory that drew her in).
