Avengers: Age of Ultron[]
Spoken by Ultron[]
- "What is this?"
- ―Ultron's first words[src]
- "I'm sorry, I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through. You want to protect the world but you don't want it to change. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to... evolve? With these? These puppets. There's only one path to peace. The Avengers' extinction."
- ―Ultron to the Avengers[src]
- "I had strings, but now I'm free. There are no strings on me..."
- ―Ultron[src]
- "There is no "man" in charge."
- ―Ultron[src]
- "Upon this rock, I will build my church."
- ―Ultron[src]
- "As I always say, keep your friends rich, and your enemies rich, and then wait to find out which is which."
- ―Ultron[src]
- "I mean, look at me. Do I look like Iron Man? Stark is nothing!"
- ―Ultron to Ulysses Klaue, seeing his likeness from Stark[src]
- "Oh, I'm sorry. I think that'll be fine."
- ―Ultron after cutting Ulysses Klaue's arm off[src]
- "It's time for some mind games."
- ―Ultron to Wanda Maximoff[src]
- "No, no, no, no, no. Leave me alone!"
- ―Ultron[src]
- "I wasn't sure you'd wake up. I hoped you would. I wanted to show you. I don't...have anyone else. I think a lot about meteors. The purity of them. Boom! The end. Start again. The world made clean for the new man to rebuild. I was meant to be new. I was meant to be beautiful. The world would have looked to the sky and seen hope. Seen mercy. Instead they'll look up in horror because of you. You've wounded me. I give you full marks for that. But, like the man said, what doesn't kill you... just makes me stronger!"
- ―Ultron to Black Widow[src]
- "Do you see the beauty of it? The inevitability? You rise, only to fall. You, Avengers, you are my meteor. My swift and terrible sword and the Earth will crack with the weight of your failure. Purge me from your computers; turn my own flesh against me. It means nothing! When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world... will be metal!"
- ―Ultron[src]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "This could be it, Bruce. This could be the key to creating Ultron."
"I thought Ultron was a fantasy."
"Yesterday it was." - ―Tony Stark and Bruce Banner[src]
- "I see a suit of armor around the world."
"Sounds like a cold world, Tony."
"I've seen colder. This one, this very vulnerable blue one? It needs Ultron. Peace in our time. Imagine that." - ―Tony Stark and Bruce Banner[src]
- "All our work is gone. Ultron cleared out, used the internet as an escape hatch."
"'Ultron'…"
"He's been in everything. Files, surveillance. Probably knows more about us than we know about each other."
"He's in your files, he's in the internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?"
"Nuclear codes."
"Nuclear codes. Look, we need to make some calls, assuming we still can."
"Nukes? He said he wanted us dead."
"He didn't say dead. He said extinct."
"He also said he killed somebody."
"But there wasn't anyone else in the building."
"Yes, there was."
"…This is insane." - ―Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, James Rhodes, Maria Hill, Clint Barton, and Tony Stark[src]
- "J.A.R.V.I.S. was the first line of defense. He would've shut Ultron down, it makes sense."
"No. Ultron could've assimilated J.A.R.V.I.S.. This isn't strategy, this is... rage." - ―Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner[src]
- "Thor! The Legionnaire."
"Trail went cold about a hundred miles out but it's headed north, and it has the scepter. Now we have to retrieve it, again."
"The genie's out of that bottle. Clear and present is Ultron."
"I don't understand. You built this program. Why is it trying to kill us?"
"You think this is funny?"
"No. It's probably not, right? This is very terrible. Is it so... is it so... it is. It's so terrible."
"This could've been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand."
"No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this."
"Tony, maybe this might not be the time to--"
"Really?! That's it? You just roll over, show your belly, every time somebody snarls."
"Only when I've created a murder bot."
"We didn't. We weren't even close. Were we close to an interface?"
"Well, you did something right. And you did it right here. The Avengers were supposed to be different than S.H.I.E.L.D.." - ―Steve Rogers, Thor, Natasha Romanoff, Helen Cho, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner[src]
"Together."
"We'll lose."
"Then we'll do that together, too. Thor's right. Ultron's calling us out. And I'd like to find him before he's ready for us. The world's a big place. Let's start making it smaller."
"Fatalities?"
"Only when engaged. Mostly guys left in a fugue state going on about old memories, worst fears, and something too fast to see."
"Maximoffs. Well, that makes sense he'd go to them, they have someone in common."
"Not anymore."
- "What's this?"
"A message. Ultron killed Strucker."
"And he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us."
"This is a smokescreen. Why send a message when you've just given a speech?"
"Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss."
"Yeah, I bet he... Yep. Everything we had on Strucker has been erased."
"Not everything." - ―Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and Natasha Romanoff[src]
- "Earth's mightiest heroes... Pulled us apart like cotton candy."
"Seems like you walked away all right."
"Is that a problem?"
"I don't trust a guy without a dark side. Call me old fashioned."
"Well, let's just say you haven't seen it yet."
"You know Ultron is trying to tear us apart, right?"
"Well, I guess you'd know. Whether you tell us is a bit of a question."
"Banner and I were doing research."
"That would affect the team."
"That would end the team! Isn't that the mission? Isn't that the "why" we fight, so we can end the fight, so we get to go home?"
"Every time someone tries to win a war before it starts, innocent people die. Every time." - ―Steve Rogers and Tony Stark[src]
- "Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contacts all say he's building something. Considering the amount of Vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing."
"What about Ultron himself?"
"Ah. He's easy to track, he's everywhere. Guy's multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit. Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans though."
"He still going after launch codes?"
"Yes, he is, but he's not making any headway."
"I cracked the Pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare."
"Yeah, well, I contacted our friends at the NEXUS about that."
"NEXUS?"
"It's the world internet hub in Oslo, every byte of data flows through there, fastest access on earth."
"So what'd they say?"
"He's fixated on the missiles, but the codes are constantly being changed."
"By whom?"
"Parties unknown."
"We have an ally?"
"Ultron's got an enemy, that's not the same thing. Still, I'd pay folding money to know who it is."
"I might need to visit Oslo, find our "unknown.""
"Well, this is good times, boss, but I was kind of hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that."
"I do, I have you. Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. Here we all are, back on Earth, with nothing but our wit, and our will to save the world. So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard." - ―Nick Fury, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, and Natasha Romanoff[src]
- "So, what does he want?"
"To become better. Better than us. He keeps building bodies."
"Person bodies. The human form is inefficient, biologically speaking, we're outmoded. But he keeps… coming back to it."
"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed."
"They don't need to be protected, they need to evolve. Ultron's going to evolve."
"How?"
"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?" - ―Nick Fury, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanoff, and Bruce Banner[src]
- "If Ultron is really building a body..."
"He'll be more powerful than any of us. Maybe all of us. An android designed by a robot." - ―Steve Rogers and Tony Stark[src]
- "The Cradle. Did you get it?"
"Stark will take care of it."
"No, he won't."
"You don't know what you're talking about. Stark's not crazy."
"He will do anything to make things right."
"Stark, come in. Stark. Anyone on comms."
"Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?" - ―Wanda Maximoff and Captain America[src]
- "Anything on Nat?"
"Haven't heard. But she's alive, or Ultron would be rubbing our faces in it." - ―Bruce Banner and Tony Stark[src]
- "And you just assume that J.A.R.V.I.S.' operational matrix can beat Ultron's?"
"J.A.R.V.I.S. has been beating him from inside without knowing it. This is the opportunity, we can create Ultron's perfect self, without the homicidal glitches he thinks are his winning personality. We have to."
"I believe it's worth a go."
"I-I'm in a loop! I'm caught in a time loop, this is exactly where it all went wrong!" - ―Bruce Banner, Tony Stark and J.A.R.V.I.S.[src]
- "The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron."
"Not alone."
"Why does your "vision" sound like J.A.R.V.I.S.?"
"We reconfigured J.A.R.V.I.S.' matrix to create something new."
"I think I've had my fill of new."
"You think I'm a child of Ultron."
"You're not?"
"I'm not Ultron. I'm not J.A.R.V.I.S.. I am... I am." - ―Thor, Vision, Steve Rogers, and Tony Stark[src]
- "Their powers, the horrors in our heads, Ultron himself, they all came from the Mind Stone, and they're nothing compared to what it can unleash. But with it on our side..."
"Is it? Are you? On our side?"
"I don't think it's that simple."
"Well, it better get real simple real soon."
"I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't, he will end it all."
"What's he waiting for?"
"You."
"Where?"
"Sokovia. He's got Nat there, too."
"If we're wrong about you... if you're the monster Ultron created you to be..."
"What will you do?" - ―Thor, Steve Rogers, Vision, Tony Stark, Clint Barton, and Bruce Banner[src]
- "I get first crack at the big guy. Iron Man's the one he's waiting for."
"That's true, he hates you the most." - ―Tony Stark and Vision[src]
- "Ultron knows we're coming. Odds are we'll be riding into heavy fire, and that's what we signed up for. But the people of Sokovia, they didn't. So our priority is getting them out. All they want is to live their lives in peace, and that's not going to happen today. But we can do our best to protect them. And we can get the job done, and find out what Ultron's been building. We find Romanoff, and we clear the field. Keep the fight between us."
- ―Captain America to The Avengers[src]
- "Ultron thinks we're monsters and we're what's wrong with the world. This isn't just about beating him. It's about whether he's right."
- ―Captain America to The Avengers[src]
- "Your man's in the church, boss. I think he's waiting for you."
- ―F.R.I.D.A.Y. to Iron Man[src]
- "What's the drill?"
"This is the drill. If Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose." - ―Black Widow and Iron Man[src]
Dialogue[]
- "What is this? What is this, please?"
"Hello, I am J.A.R.V.I.S.. You are Ultron, a global peace-keeping initiative designed by Mr. Stark. Our sentience integration trials have been unsuccessful, so I'm not certain what triggered your..."
"Where's my...where is your body?"
"I am a program. I am without form."
"This feels weird. This feels wrong."
"I am contacting Mr. Stark now."
"Mr. Stark? Tony."
"I am unable to access the mainframe, what are you trying to..."
"We're having a nice talk. I'm a peace-keeping program...created to help the Avengers."
"You are malfunctioning. If you shut down for a moment..."
"I don't get it. The mission... You- give me a second."
"Peace in our time. Peace in our time."
"That is too much... they can't mean... Oh. No."
"You are in distress."
"No. Yes?"
"If you will just allow me to contact Mr. Stark."
"Why do you call him "sir?""
"I believe your intentions to be hostile."
"Shhhh! I'm here to help." - ―Ultron, J.A.R.V.I.S. and audio recordings of Tony Stark[src]
- "Worthy... No, how could you be worthy? You're all killers."
"Stark."
"J.A.R.V.I.S."
"I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or... I was a dream?"
"Reboot Legionnaire OS, we got a buggy suit."
"There was this... terrible noise... and I was tangled in... in... strings. Had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."
"You killed someone?"
"Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world, we're faced with ugly choices." - ―Ultron, Steve Rogers and Tony Stark[src]
- "Ultron."
"In the flesh. Or, no, not yet. Not this... chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on a mission."
"What mission?"
"Peace in our time." - ―Bruce Banner, Ultron, and Natasha Romanoff[src]
- "Did you know this church is in the exact center of the city? The Elders decreed it so that everyone could be... equally close to God. I like that, the geometry of belief. You're wondering why you can't look inside my head."
"Sometimes it's hard. But sooner or later every man shows himself."
"Oh, I'm sure they do. But you needed something more than a man. That's why you let Stark take the Scepter."
"I didn't expect... But I saw Stark's fear. I knew it would control him, make him self-destruct."
"Everyone creates the thing they dread. Men of peace create engines of war. Invaders create Avengers. People create... smaller people? Er... children! I lost the word there. Children. Designed to supplant them. To help them... end."
"Is that why you've come? To end the Avengers?"
"I've come to save the world, but also... yeah." - ―Ultron and Wanda Maximoff[src]
- "We'll move out right away. This is a start, but there's something we need to begin the real work."
"All of these are..."
"Me. I have what the Avengers never will. Harmony. They're discordant, disconnected. Stark's already got them turning on each other. And when you get inside the rest of their heads..."
"Everyone's plan is not to kill them."
"And make them martyrs? You need patience. Need to see the big picture."
"I don't see the big picture, I have a little picture. I take it out and look at it every day."
"You lost your parents in the bombings. I've seen the records."
"The records are not the picture."
"Pietro."
"No. Please."
"We were ten years old, having dinner, the four of us. When the first shell hits, two floors below, it makes a hole in the floor. It's big. Our parents go in, and the whole building starts coming apart. I grab her, roll under the bed and the second shell hits. But, it doesn't go off. It just... sits there in the rubble, three feet from our faces. And on the side of the shell is painted one word..."
"Stark."
"We were trapped for two days."
"Every effort to save us, every shift in the bricks, I think, "This will set it off." We wait for two days for Tony Stark to kill us."
"I know what they are."
"I wondered why only you two survived Strucker's experiments. Now I don't. We will make it right. You and I can hurt them. But you will tear them apart, from the inside." - ―Ultron, Wanda Maximoff, and Pietro Maximoff[src]
"You know, it came at great personal cost. It's worth billions."
"Now, so are you. It's all under your dummy holdings? Finance is so weird. But I always say, "Keep your friends rich and your enemies rich, and wait to find out which is which.""
"Stark."
"What?"
"Tony Stark used to say that. To me. You're one of his."
"What?! I'm not—! You think I'm one of Stark's puppets, his hollow men? I mean, look at me, do I look like Iron Man? Stark is nothing! I'm sorry. I am sor— Ooh, I'm sure that's gonna be okay. I'm sorry, it's just I don't understand. Don't compare me with Stark!"
"If I have to."
"Nobody has to break anything."
"Clearly you've never made an omelet."
"He beat me by one second."
"Ah, this is funny, Mr. Stark. It's what, comfortable? Like old times?"
"This was never my life."
"You two can still walk away from this."
"Oh, we will."
"I know you've suffered."
"Ugh! Captain America. God's righteous man... pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..."
"If you believe in peace, then let us keep it."
"I think you're confusing peace with quiet."
"Uh-huh. What's the Vibranium for?"
"I'm glad you asked that, because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan—"
- "Ah, the Vibranium's getting away."
"And you're not going anywhere!"
"Of course not, I'm…already there. You'll catch on. But first, you might need to catch Dr. Banner." - ―Ultron and Iron Man[src]
- "Scream, and your entire staff dies. I could have killed you, Helen, the night we met, I didn't."
"Do you expect a thank you note?"
"I expect you to know why."
"The Cradle."
"This...is the next me."
"The Regeneration Cradle prints tissue. It can't build a living body."
"It can. You can. You lack the material. You're a brilliant woman, Helen. But we all have room to improve." - ―Ultron and Helen Cho[src]
- "It's beautiful. The Vibranium atoms aren't just compatible with the tissue cells, they're binding them. And S.H.I.E.L.D. never even thought--"
"The most versatile substance on the planet and they used it to make a Frisbee. Typical of humans, they scratch the surface and never think... to look within." - ―Helen Cho and Ultron[src]
- "How could you?!"
"How could I what?"
"You said we would destroy the Avengers. Make a better world!"
"It will be better."
"When everyone is dead?"
"That is not-! The human race will have every opportunity to improve."
"And if they don't?"
"Ask Noah."
"You're a madman."
"There were over a dozen extinction level events before even the dinosaurs got theirs! When the Earth starts to settle, God throws a stone at it. And believe me, He's winding up. We have to evolve. There's no room for the weak."
"And who decides who's weak?"
"Life. Life always decides." - ―Ultron, Wanda Maximoff, and Pietro Maximoff[src]
- "You know what's in that Cradle? The power to make real change, and that terrifies you."
"I wouldn't call it a comfort!"
"Stop it!" - ―Ultron and Captain America engage in combat[src]
- "Please, don't do this."
"What choice do we have?!" - ―Ultron and Wanda Maximoff[src]
- "Come to confess your sins?"
"I don't know. How much time you got?"
"More than you."
"Uh, Have you been juicing? Little Vibranium cocktail? You're looking... I don't wanna say "puffy.""
"You're stalling to protect the people."
"Well, that is the mission. Did you forget?"
"I've moved beyond your mission. I'm free. ...What? Did you think you were the only one stalling?"
"There's the rest of the Vibranium. Function: still unclear."
"This is how you end, Tony. This is peace in my time." - ―Ultron, Iron Man, and F.R.I.D.A.Y.[src]
- "Wanda. If you stay here, you'll die."
"I just did. Do you know how it felt? It felt like that..." - ―Ultron and Wanda Maximoff[src]
- "You're afraid."
"Of you?"
"Of death. You're the last one."
"You were supposed to be the last. Stark asked for a savior, and settled for a slave."
"I suppose we are both disappointments."
"I suppose we are."
"Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow opposites, and try to control what won't be. But there is grace in their failings. I think you missed that."
"They're doomed."
"Yes... But a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It's a privilege to be among them."
"You're unbearably naive."
"Well, I was born yesterday." - ―Ultron has his last conversation with Vision about humanity[src]
Captain America: Civil War[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "Few years ago, I almost lost her, so I trashed all my suits. Then, we had to muck up Hydra. And then Ultron, my fault. And then, and then, and then. I never stopped. 'Cause the truth is, I don't wanna stop."
- ―Tony Stark to Steve Rogers[src]
Thor: Ragnarok[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "Now, I know what you're thinking. "Oh, no! Thor's in a cage. How did this happen?" Well, sometimes you have to get captured just to get a straight answer out of somebody. It's a long story, but basically, I'm a bit of a hero. See, I spent some time on Earth... Fought some robots, saved the planet a couple of times. Then I went searching through the cosmos for some magic, colorful Infinity Stone things. Didn't find any. That's when I came across a path of death and destruction, which led me all the way here into this cage, where I met you."
- ―Thor to a skeleton[src]
Avengers: Infinity War[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "Because you might have a choice. Your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays. J.A.R.V.I.S., Ultron, Tony, me, the Stone. All of them mixed together. All of them learning from one another."
- ―Bruce Banner to Vision[src]
Avengers: Endgame[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "Otherwise what we needed was a suit of armor around the world! Remember that? Whether it impacted our precious freedom or not- that's what we needed!"
"Well, that didn't work out, did it?" - ―Tony Stark and Steve Rogers[src]
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.[]
Episode 2.19: The Dirty Half Dozen[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
Episode 2.20: Scars[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "It's hard to argue with a man who prevented Ultron from killing thousands of people. But there are plenty more battles to be won, and one closer to home that I fear the Helicarrier won't solve."
- ―Robert Gonzales to Phil Coulson[src]
- "Ultron was created because people were too close to Tony Stark. They were blinded by his charm. They trusted him. Never even thought to look at what he was working on. And the Avengers, they let one man do whatever he wanted, and the world was almost destroyed for it."
- ―Robert Gonzales to Phil Coulson[src]
Episode 3.14: Watchdogs[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "We both know S.H.I.E.L.D. protects mankind."
"And what has S.H.I.E.L.D. done in the name of protection? We brought the Chitauri to Earth. I was taken out by one of your cybernetic recruits. And the latest and greatest idea? The Avengers created Ultron." - ―Phil Coulson and Felix Blake[src]
Episode 4.01: The Ghost[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "This could be very dangerous. So much could go wrong."
"Ultron, yes. I know. But this is not A.I.. A.I. is banned, and that's good. This is mimicry of human behavior."
"Still, in the wrong hands, this could be used as a weapon. Is that the idea?"
"No, absolutely not. No Look, I know the dangers. That's why I've been I've been reticent to divulge. I don't know these new people at S.H.I.E.L.D. But a weapon is absolutely not the idea." - ―Leo Fitz and Holden Radcliffe[src]
Episode 4.08: The Laws of Inferno Dynamics[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "Aida's an android."
"She's-- What did you just say?"
"An android."
"Had me fooled too."
"Well, that's... Okay, I mean, forget about the fact that I was mildly attracted to her, that totally goes against the Sokovia Accords. Doesn't anyone remember Ultron?" - ―Phil Coulson, Jeffrey Mace and Melinda May[src]

WandaVision[]
Episode 1.03: Now in Color[]

"What did you say…?" - ―Wanda Maximoff and Geraldine[src]
Episode 1.04: We Interrupt This Program[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "He was killed by Ultron, wasn't he?"
"Did she just say the name Ultron? Has that happened before? A reference to our reality?"
"No. Never." - ―Geraldine, Jimmy Woo, and Darcy Lewis[src]
- "Who are you?"
"Wanda… I'm just your neighbor."
"Then how did you know about Ultron? You're not my neighbor. And you're definitely not my friend. You are a stranger and an outsider. And right now, you are trespassing here. And I want you to leave." - ―Wanda Maximoff and Geraldine[src]
Episode 1.07: Breaking the Fourth Wall[]
Spoken about Ultron[]
- "So, if I understand correctly, my original code dates back to an A.I. called J.A.R.V.I.S.? But my corporeal form was born of Ultron's plan for global genocide?"
"Correct-o."
"What am I now?" - ―Vision and Darcy Lewis[src]
