Arguably the greatest and certainly the most horrific creation of scientific genius Dr. Henry Pym, Ultron is a criminally insane rogue sentient robot dedicated to conquest and the extermination of humanity. Originally built as a structurally crude robot, Pym used a copy of his own brain patterns as the basis for the robot’s programming. The robot inherited Pym’s inherent mental instability along with his intelligence but lacked a human conscience. To Pym’s surprise, the robot developed an advanced intellect within moments of its activation, and an unexpected capacity for emotion; most notably, it was filled with irrational hatred for its “father” Pym and the human race Pym represented. Overpowering and mesmerizing Pym, the robot-which soon dubbed itself Ultron-hypnotically commanded Pym to forget its existence and abandon the New Jersey lab where it was created. Pym did as commanded, and after the lab was closed up, Ultron returned. Using the lab’s equipment, Ultron rebuilt himself completely four times, making improvements and modifications each time. Rechristening himself Ultron-5, he now felt ready to make war on humanity-and in particular the Avengers, the heroic super-team which counted Pym among its founding members.
Ultron later gathered his own team, Masters of Evil, comprised of Avengers foes Klaw, Melter, Radioactive Man and Whirlwind. The team was quickly defeated by the Avengers, and Ultron went on to create artificial robotic beings of his own in addition to making continued improvements on his own design. It seemed each time an incarnation of Ultron was destroyed, another was reborn, his consciousness sometimes overtaking the armor of other beings, including an Iron Man suit and later the body of Adam Warlock – a supposed perfect organic life-form. Ultron continues to develop plans in hopes of one day destroying humanity.
