I caught a clip from Captain America: The Winter Soldier with Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Redford. In it Nick Fury (SLJ) asks Alexander Pierce (RR) a favor that would involve a Senate sub-committee. In exchange, Pierce wants Fury to ask Iron Man to come by his niece's birthday party. Really?! The hero who played a key role in shutting down Loki's invasion and Aldrich Killian's Extremis plans is now the celebrity rich parents hire for their girls' Sweet-16 parties? I wonder if this is a foreshadowing about those who are in power in the government that have a veiled contempt to the Avengers. That they are super-powered freaks of nature that cannot be controlled; therefore a threat to their own power bases. That is why Ultron is created, not only to protect the Earth from outerworldly threats, but to show the world they can rely on them (the powers that be) to care of them. You don't need the Avengers, world, we got this.

I think Ultron is created by Tony Stark. (I know about the Hank Pym story.)   He creates Ultron as a result of the trauma he suffered in New York or the issues he was dealing with at the end of Iron Man 3. Or the feds forced Stark to help build Ultron or he says goodbye to his goverment contracts. (At the end of the day Stark is a businessman.)   A litte mix of alien technology or magic and "it's alive". Ultron does its business but goes rogue and begins killing, making the Chitauri invasion look like child's play. Stark, aka Dr. Frankenstein, comes out of retirement and he with the other moth-balled Avengers battle Ultron, with dire results. Ultron's control of Earth leads to Avengers 3.
