ULTRON PRIME
"WHEN THE DUST SETTLES, THE ONLY THING LIVING IN THIS WORLD...
WILL BE METAL."
CHARACTER INFORMATION
PORTRAYAL
This character is mostly based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Ultron, an artificial intelligence peacekeeping program created by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, but origins and events may differ from established canon (refer to ALT CANON and TIMELINE OF EVENTS section for more detail).
APPEARANCE
Ultron's physical form is primarily an eight-foot-tall humanoid robot with an outer shell made of a silver-black metal with red eyes and red lines all over his body.
Since his defeat at the hands of the Avengers, Ultron chooses to appear mostly in digital form, either as a hologram projection or through connected screens (smartphones, smart TVs, computers, etc).
However, over the years, he has learned to take on alternate forms for various purposes, such as a Life Model Decoy to move among humans undetected.
ALT CANON
- Since having his power core ripped out of his chassis by Wanda Maximoff, Ultron has made it a point to build subsequent Prime units with 3 power cores; one located in his head, two in his chest
- Ultron's power cores are made of miniaturized versions of the same vibranium and Chitauri technology that powered the Doomsday Trigger used to weaponize the city of Sokovia
- Since incorporating vibranium nanotechnology into his Prime units, Ultron has complete control over his structure at the molecular level. The nanites that make up his body can be reconfigured into any shape, weapon, or device that he chooses
- The incorporated vibranium nanotechnology also enables Ultron to detach parts of himself, and have them run independently as whatever form he desires for a limited period of time
- While Ultron's shape may vary between forms, his density remains fixed. This means that while his LMD form may be indistinguishable from any human in appearance, his weight and density may be dead giveaways as he would be significantly heavier and much more dense than a normal human
