Upon seeing this creature, the Wasp referred to him as “an unearthly, inhuman vision,” and thus the Vision was properly born. Determined to defeat his nominal father, Ultron took the body of the original android Human Torch (or, more specifically, a replica of that body), gave it a green color to go along with a red face (and a nice yellow cape and pair of boots and gloves), gave it the mind of the dead Wonder Man, implanted him with a “control crystal,” and sent this being to kill the Avengers. Ultron’s hatred of Pym-and love for Pym’s wife, Janet van Dyne (aka The Wasp)-revealed him to be an automaton with severe daddy issues.
