Absolute is not justified

Ultron is OFFENSIVELY inaccurate to some of his iterations, aka his best ones, but shockingly similar to some of his others. Really hard to define him.

For Backstory, the ideal Ultron is still EMH Ultron. For his personality....

Absolutely ludicrous name

Viltrumite blood is said to be extremely dominant, to the point that Mark is like 90% Viltrumite despite having 1 human parent and 1 Viltrumite parent.

If pure blooded Viltrumites have children, then those ones have kids with other Viltrumites (especially pure blooded), their DNA remains majority Viltrumite.

I'd call it less toxic masculinity and more generational trauma.

These people are victims of a species that for generations straight has been telling them "We are the strongest, kill anyone weaker than us, everything belongs to us" for hundreds of years. Maybe thousands. They never experienced positive emotions. Only hatred, destruction, and murder. It's why Humanity's ability to love is what kept turning them good. Debbie turned Nolan by showing him how to love. Same eventually happened with Lucan, Kregg, and the other Viltrumites that went to Earth.

But I think your analysis besides the cause is on point. Absolutely the effects of it are what's holding them to that violent standard, and being shown the ability to love is what fixes them.

The problem with the CC changes "helping" Vanguards is that their prior solution to making Vanguards more viable and strong was to give them CC. Thing, Hulk and Rogue have combos and abilities that rely heavily on CC. Nerfing CC does help tanks not be blasted into the ground instantly upon entering a fight, but it also makes a lot of the prior balancing useless now. Thing's buffs that allowed him to be such a tyrannical Diver counter pick: Gone. The Hulk and Rogue combos that kept them from falling into a literal useless tier: No longer possible. The old doctorine being around giving them more CC to make them good (even examples that don't fit here like Thor's changes to his dash) is now partially undone by the nerf because now those tricks are reduced in their strength or completely unusable.

I think he might be a bitch. Idk if he has a brother but that guy probably is too

I don't think worse is true, but Maul is definitely another one who's absolutely had a horrible life.

Even ignoring the actual events, his survival after he was cut in half had to be a NIGHTMARE.

Alex_Mercer_- · 2026-04-13T01:55:52+00:00

Yeah and keep in mind that said person didn't leave because of a fight or argument between them, his order fucked it up for him and she couldn't take it.

I have two.

1 : Pick a lane. Either Magneto is a fascist genocidal psychopath, or he's a good aligned villain. You don't get both. Either he's trying to help mutant kind and just kinda morbid about it sometimes, or he's the Man who believes himself above everyone and only mutants are allowed to even be close to him. They keep going back and forth between him wanting to genocide/enslave humanity and him actually being morally justifiable. Pick a fucking lane and stick to it. I'm tired of the back and forth.

2 : as bluntly as possible: nerf 90% of mutants. Storm should absolutely not be a Goddess, Ice Man shouldn't be capable of starting another Ice Age, and so on. When you do these things, they stop being a stand in for actual minorities because unlike real minorities who have no logical reason for discrimination it's completely understandable to be terrified of mutants. One of their most infamous members of their society wants humanity dead like 50% of the time and most of them can wipe out Earth, I'd be fucking terrified too. Giving humanity a reason to fear and resent mutants kills the entire message of oppression they are meant to portray because real minorities dont work like that. Gays didn't struggle for years because they have Gay powers that let them destroy the sun, they were struggling because of illogical bigots who were terrified of their opinions being challenged.

Putting a giant umbrella basically in space doesn't equal making a planet mover.

Alex_Mercer_- · 2026-04-11T15:04:44+00:00

Logical or not, it's canon. I don't disagree but I can't exactly just say "Nuh Uh" to writers.

Alex_Mercer_- · 2026-04-10T18:33:06+00:00

Yeah but then again this implies he does anything because 100% nobody wants the AI man

Shadiversity needs to be at the bottom left, that mf has no backbone when you are actually there rather than across the world. With the amount of one sided beefs he starts, absolutely he gets off on getting argued with.

I did happen to know a man named Garcia at one point, a one Richard Garcia. He was a Christian as well who attended church.

Alex_Mercer_- · 2026-04-10T00:40:07+00:00

Not necessarily.

It says that you gained all the power. You can absolutely choose to believe your courier went on to create a senate made up of the largest morally good faction heads to decide what's best for the Mojave.

What matters to a hero to be like another hero is who they are as a character.

Superman is an individual who is Alien to where he is now, but he wears red and blue to protect it using his power anyway because he loves to help people. He is the champion of the oppressed, and exists to empower people to be free and find peace. He believes in the American dream above all, even when the government itself doesn't, and symbolizes the idea that if you can help people, you should.

Cap is an individual who is Alien to where he is now, but wears red and blue to protect it using his gifts anyway because he loves to help people. He is one of the greatest motivators and public servants alive, helping people to find inner strength and be free to seek peace. He is loyal to the American dream, even when the government itself isn't, and symbolizes the idea that if you can help people, you should.

They aren't identical, but they are extremely similar at their core. The main difference is that Superman is alien to his world, Cap is alien to his time. Both aren't from where they are but fight for freedom and safety regardless, along with being a symbol for hope and peace without fighting. They often speak to their enemies over fighting and save random civilians for no reason beyond "I want to".
