He was a consciousness who would jump from body to body with the slightest of ease so you never quite knew if you had actually won or if Ultron was just biding his time, figuring out ways to beat you. It made for a cool, sinister character in that Ultron was never really able to be defeated. When Ultron first appeared, he went by the name of “Ultron-1” and each time he lost while fighting the Avengers, he would return later on, stronger, faster, and more terrifying as “Ultron-2”, “Ultron-3”, or my personal favorite, “Ultron-14”. What was so cool about the character of Ultron was that he was constantly “improving” himself.

His original design, as you can see in the photo above, was quite different from the design he has today. Ultron subsequently decides to take things into his own hands, as he sees humanity as weak and unnecessary in the grand scheme of things. Originally created by writer Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema in 1968, Ultron was designed by Pym to be an artificial intelligence, created for the betterment of mankind-which is honestly how most of these “robots gone awry: stories start off. This mechanical blight upon the world was originally created in the comics by Avenger Hank Pym, aka Ant-Man (who will be played by Michael Douglas in next summer’s Ant-Man feature).

The main difference, of course, being that Ultron can fight you hand to hand whereas Hal closes shuttle bay doors and Skynet uses armies of metal skeletons (though Ultron has his own army to unleash upon the world).

Ultron is a cold, unfeeling machine in the same vein of Skynet from Terminator or Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
