Although Ultron first appears in Avengers #54 (1968), the character is disguised for the majority

of the issue as the "Crimson Cowl", with his face only revealed on the last page of the issue and
no name given to the character. The character leads the Masters of Evil against the Avengers,
having hypnotized Edwin Jarvis into working for him. In the following issue Avengers #55 (August
1968), the character is identified as Ultron-5, The Living Automaton.[4] In Avengers #57–58
(October–November 1968), a flashback sequence revealed that Ultron created the
"synthezoid" Vision as a weapon to destroy the Avengers. The Vision—having Wonder Man's
brain patterns—destroys Ultron with the Avengers' aid.[5]
Further flashbacks reveal that Ultron is Hank Pym's creation, and is based on Pym's brain
patterns. The robot gradually developed its own intelligence and rebelled, and almost
immediately develops an Oedipus complex, whereby it feels irrational hatred for Hank, and
demonstrates an interest in the Wasp (Janet van Dyne). Rebuilding itself, learning how to turn
itself on, and upgrading five times, Ultron then hypnotizes and brainwashes his "father" into
forgetting that the robot had ever existed.[6]
The character's next appearance is in Avengers #66–68 (July–September 1969), where the
character, now referring to itself as Ultron-6, uses the fictional alloy adamantium to upgrade his
body to an almost indestructible state and takes the new name Ultimate Ultron. His plans to
destroy humanity are again thwarted by the Avengers.[7]

1970s[edit]
A crossover story between Avengers #127 (Sept. 1974) and Fantastic Four #150 (Sept. 1974)
features Ultron (as Ultron-7), recreated by Maximus with the body of the android Omega,
attacking the wedding of the Inhuman Crystal and the Avenger Quicksilver, and battling the
Avengers, Inhumans and Fantastic Four before being destroyed once again.[8]The character next
appears in Avengers #161–162 (July–Aug. 1977) as Ultron-8 where he's responsible
for Jocasta's creation as a robotic bride.[9] Shortly afterwards, in Avengers#170–171 (April–May
1978), the Avengers, with Ms. Marvel's aid, battle and defeat Ultron-8.[10]

1980s[edit]
His next appearances are in Avengers #201–202 (Nov.–Dec 1980) as Ultron-9 and in Marvel
Two-In-One #92–93 (Oct.–Nov. 1982) as Ultron-10; both appearances feature brainwashed
heroes re-creating and then defeating the robotic menace.[11][12] After being briefly recreated
as Ultron-11 by the Beyonder and appearing on Battleworld during the Secret Wars,[13] and for a
brief encounter with the Thing,[14] Ultron is destroyed again. The Thing, however, does bring
Ultron's head back to Earth as a souvenir. Ultron-11's head is dropped and forgotten by the
Thing when there is an attack by the alien Dire Wraiths.[15]
A new version, known as Ultron-12, enters into an alliance with the Grim Reaper and the villain's
allies (Nekra; the Erik Josten Goliath; Man-Ape and the Black Talon) in a bid to destroy Wonder
Man. Although the villains are defeated by the West Coast Avengers, Ultron-12 begins to form a
relationship with his "father" Henry Pym.[16] Ultron-12 begins calling itself Ultron Mark 12, in an
effort to sound more human.[17]Rebuilding itself, Ultron-11 comes into conflict with Hank and
Ultron-12. With Wonder Man's assistance, they destroy Ultron-11. Ultron-12 then deactivates, but
tells Pym it was glad it could help save him.[18]
