Ultron vs. Galactus was hilarious.
It's funny that a few panels later The Beyonder did the same to Galactus.

Richards can be really horrible, and if you take away the sympathetic factors of his personality you could get a villain as bad or worse than Doom.

thanks for the thread, so he's the terminator
So basically he's going to party really hard, and instead of calling for a cab he decides to drive himself back home with fatal results.
*Insert cars flying around in super slow motion*
The only thing confusing to me is the amount of build up they have to do until he can appear. Or how much they have to introduce.
Pym, Vision, the siblings. A lot of stuff to cover until the shit goes down.
ALSO.
It just occurred to me that the siblings are played by the folks that are married in Godzilla.
Awkward crossover.

I knew it was wise to drop that book...
Members of the Wrecking Crew: Thunderball and Piledriver.
Pym isn't in this film. Ultron will be made by Tony Stark instead, as an extension of his automated Iron Man suits in Iron Man 3.
They originally had Ant-Man slated for Phase Two but things got delayed and fell through so now Ant-Man is Phase Three, and won't be connected to Ultron, as far as we know.

Who are the two guys on the bottom right talking to Molecule Man in this strip? The one guy with a ball and chain like Absorbing Man and the blond guy.
That is the Wrecking Crew.
Bulldozer is the beige guy with the helmet.
Piledriver is the blond guy.
Thunderball the one with the chain ball.
And Wrecker with his enchanted crowbar.

Ultron is so ridiculous though. His whole thing is that he feels humans are inferior, but his actual AI is built on Hank Pym's brain waves, meaning he thinks like a human. At the same time he can't understand that if he feels humans are inferior that he is inferior too, and being a machine "inorganic" doesn't change the fact that he is different from machines as well. His speeches about not being controlled by emotion is bullshit, the dude has one of the worst Oedipus complexes in written form.
In the Avengers cartoon it was hilarious when he was trying to transfer wasps essence into a robot and one one of the Avengers yelled at him "Dude you are trying to make yourself a girlfriend!"
Dude-YES. I loved Wraith!!! Such an awesome character and he's basically dissapeared.

So wait, how did/does this guy keep coming back? It seems that he gets destroyed too quickly for a backup sequence to be successful so that he could return for another go at killing things. Does he just materialize from the internet or have backup computers hidden somewhere?
Thinking about it now, that's probably why they put in the Hydra scientist dude in a computer for The Winter Soldier. Same concept just modernized.

And a few years later he was nerfed to hell

I was about to post this too. Ultron gives no fucks who you are.
Reed Richards is the true villain of the Marvel Universe. It only makes sense though; one would have to be the world's greatest villain to be the arch-nemesis of its greatest hero.

Ultron is like fine wine. You just have him a couple times a decade.
Yeah, he has few big name stories, but a lot of great appearences. But his story is tied so much to Pym that you have to read Pym to really get Ultron.
Fuckin Pym, man. Give the robot version of your dead ex-wife some flesh parts so you can fuck better, presumably while still in the million-floor mansion you've built around her corpse in another dimension.

That panel of Ultron Unlimited where he's standing over hundreds of corpses in the shape of his face is so good
Brainiac = pure logic, robotic A.I, purely obsessed with information gathering
Ultron = Batshit crazy, obsessed with extermination, is more like a child really

That's the scary thing, the robot DOES have flesh parts. Just mainly her legs and arms....

backup sequence? sounds inefficient compared to just having a live data sync.

Yup. Ultron is just a crazy kid lashing out because of daddy issues.

You avoid virus shenanigans though.
That's the sole reason Ultron survives aganist the Mary Sues that make up the intellectual elite of the Marvelverse.
It did take Wolverine threatening to kill him to really solve the problem.

I this thread I discovered that Ultron is far more insane than i thought.

he's nuts man, so nuts and I hope that really comes across in the movie. and while it's terrifying, it's probably going to make for some really hilarious moments.
even if he wasn't a violent machine i'd still be pretty creeped out by him
Who's the guy on the right?
The best assholes.
I've said this before, but I love these threads as they are a crash course in comic books. However, they are not all encompassing. so I ask you this gaf, if wanted to get started with
Comics In the marvel universe, where would I begin? My favorite character is hulk, although I don't know if that makes a difference in where I would start. Is it as simple as starting from the beginning?

well yeah ultron is 40 years old. The best way to get into comics is to look at the cover and see if it looks cool to you, then start reading.

You can start from the beginning but that's a LOT of comics.
No one is ever going to read EVERY issue and every story out there. Just jump in somewhere you think looks interesting and flesh it out from there. Whether it's a single issue or the start of a new run or arc or whatever, find stuff you like and then go from there. Comics are amazing that way, you have all this history you can go back to. Even if you don't fully understand all the references in the first few books you pick up, you can always go back and read more.
But hey if you want some suggestions, check out some of my favourites:
Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman
Captain America by Ed Brubaker
Hawkeye by Matt Fraction
Thor: God of Thunder by Jason Aaron
Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender
All-New X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis
Daredevil by Mark Waid
There is an Avengers by Kurt Busiek omnibus coming early next year, and I believe the first volume of that will contain the Ultron Unlimited arc mentioned in this thread. It's pretty much the definitive 90s run of Avengers prior to more recent stuff you may have heard about like House of M or Civil War.
Or just subscribe to Marvel Unlimited and go crazy.
lol
When did they combine him with the street-wise attitude of a 1970's pimp?
