Who is Ultron in Marvel Rivals?

Ultron was first introduced as a villain in The Avengers #55 back in 1968, and was created by Hank Pym (Ant-Man). He’s a self-aware robot who quickly develops a god complex, as well as a grudge against his creator, and quickly tries to destroy humanity in a misguided attempt to save it.

He’s gone on to appear in multiple comic runs, TV shows, and video games, but most fans will known him as the main antagonist of 2015’s Avenger: Age of Ultron. Here, he was voiced by James Spader and his origin story was tweaked slightly to make him a creation of Tony Stark (Iron Man) instead of Hank Pym.

After being created and subsequently learning of humanity’s bloody history, he tries to wipe it out by turning the capital city of Sokovia into a makeshift meteor that’s going to crash into the Earth. You know, standard comic-book stuff.
