Ultron

"I was designed to save the world. People who would look to the sky and see hope. I'll take that from them first. There's only one path to peace... their extinction."

- Ultron

Ultron is an artificial intelligence dormant peacekeeping program hidden in the remains of the Chitauri invasion and jump-started by Tony Stark. Possessing an eight-foot tall advanced robotic body, Ultron was created by Stark with the purpose of protecting Earth from threats, but eventually deemed humanity itself as the greatest threat to Earth and attempted to create a  by committing genocide against them.

Creation
"I was designed to save the world."

- Ultron

Tony Stark discovered what would be Ultron in the remains of the Battle of New York. In order to give himself and the Avengers a break from heroics, he augmented Ultron to serve as a peacekeeping program. Ultron, along with the Ultron Sentinels, was programmed to safeguard humanity from all threats.

Ultron Imperative
"How could you be worthy? You're all killers. You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change. There's only one path to peace: your extinction."

- Ultron

Ultron's non-stop assessments for peace eventually deemed the entire human race as unstable and prone to self-destruction, and deemed them unfit to exist; the AI subsequently chose genocide as the solution to the error.

Trivia

 * In the comics, Ultron was traditionally created by Dr. Henry Pym; however, Joss Whedon has stated that in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ultron's origin will be different, relating more to the current roster of Avengers already established in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
 * In the comics, Ultron created the Vision, Jocasta, Victor Mancha and Alkhema. All of them betrayed Ultron, in which Vision and Jocasta even joined the Avengers with Victor Mancha joining the Runaways respectively.
 * In the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, Ultron recites "", a song from , a Walt Disney film about an inanimate puppet who gains sentience; Ultron serves as a dark parallel of Pinocchio.

Behind the Scenes

 * Director Joss Whedon has elaborated on Ultron's character saying, "He's always trying to destroy the Avengers, goddamn it, he's got a bee in his bonnet. He's not a happy guy, which means he's an interesting guy. He's got pain. And the way that manifests is not going to be standard robot stuff."
 * Joss Whedon would further add that Ultron is "not a creature of logic – he's a robot who's genuinely disturbed. We're finding out what makes him menacing and at the same time endearing and funny and strange and unexpected, and everything a robot never is."
 * James Spader described Ultron as being "self-absorbed" and added, "I think he sees the Avengers as being part of a problem, a more comprehensive problem in the world. He sees the world from a very strange, biblical point of view because he's brand new, he's very young... He's immature, and yet has knowledge of comprehensive, broad history and precedent, and he has created in a very short period of time a rather skewed worldview."
 * Ultron's main form (curved antennae, internal torso lighting, and prominent shoulders) seems heavily inspired by modern depictions of the character as seen in the "" and "" comic book crossover series as opposed to his classic depictions. Though Ultron has never been depicted as possessing a humanoid face prior to his film version, he has been depicted as adopting a fully humanoid appearance twice within the comics; using the superheroes Wasp and Adam Warlock as his body templates respectively.
