Vision

The Vision is a superhero published by Marvel Comics. Created by Roy Thomas and John Buscema, the Vision first debuted in The Avengers #57 (published in August 1968, with a cover date of October 1968). An android created by Ultron, one of the Avenger's most dangerous foes, the Vision rebelled against his creator and joined the team to fight for the forces of good. Since then, he is a frequent member of the team and at one point married his teammate, the Scarlet Witch. Other teams he has also served as a member of includes the Defenders, the West Coast Avengers, Avengers A.I., Mighty Avengers, and the New Avengers. At one point, the Vision was repaired by being linked to an alien computer called I.S.A.A.C., which greatly expanded his memory banks but also skewed his sensibilities to the point that he tried to take over the world. While he managed to regain his senses, his actions caused most of the world to distrust him. He was abducted by rogue agents of the United States government (who were manipulated by the time traveler Immortus) and was completely and utterly dismantled. While the Avengers was able to reassemble him back together, he no longer possessed human emotions, leaving him a colorless, emotionless android. The Scarlet Witch, due to the various traumatic misfortunes that have befallen her, became increasingly unstable. The Vision and Scarlet Witch's children, Billy and Tommy, were revealed to be shards of the demon Mephisto, and was seemingly erased from existence. The Vision, due to his emotionless state, was indifferent to this and abandoned Wanda to rejoin the Avenger's eastern roster. The Vision's emotions would later be restored, but his attempts to reconcile with the Scarlet Witch were rejected. Vision was present during the Fantastic Four and the Avenger's attempt to stop Onslaught, and was one of the heroes sent to an alternate earth as part of the "Heroes Reborn" relaunch. His former wife, the Scarlet Witch, discovered that the existence of her two children and destroyed Avengers Mansion. She incited She-Hulk to shred the Vision apart. Part of the Vision's programming would later be combined with a suit of futuristic armor to produce a "young" version of the android, who joined forces with others to form the Young Avengers. When Tony Stark, Iron Man, discovered a means to reawaken his companion and set him back on his journey to humanity, the actual, original Vision returned. Vision would eventually exile himself into space, where he gained a new set of talents to advance his career as an Earth champion. This all-new android eventually joined both the Avengers A.I. offshoot and the Avengers Unity Squad, a combination of mutant and non-mutant heroes.
