After months of teasing peeks, blurry images, and one tantalising trailer glimpse, the mysterious new Avenger has finally been unveiled.
The Vision, played by Paul Bettany, officially takes his place in the heroic lineup as one of a series of new Avengers: Age of Ultron-themed Entertainment Weekly covers released Wednesday.
Created
from Tony Stark’s J.A.R.V.I.S. artificial-intelligence system (also
voiced by Bettany) by the rogue Utron, Vision eventually turns against
his master and becomes one of the most stalwart of Earth’s Mightiest
Heroes.
Marvel has been withholding the Vision’s reveal for months, obscuring his face in the official posters, and leaving fans to scour the toy aisles for clues to his appearance before briefly showing him blinking online at the end of the second trailer.
Until today, many fans weren’t expecting to see the colorful Avenger until the sequel hit theaters on May 1.
On the EW
cover, the inhuman hero (described in the comics as a “synthezoid” — a
singular android fueled by “synthesized energy”) shares cover space with
Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). The other
covers feature the trios of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain
America (Chris Evans), and Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Hawkeye (Jeremy
Renner), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and Quicksilver (Aaron
Taylor-Johnson), as well as a solo cover with big, bad Ultron (voiced by
James Spader).
Is it just me or does he look a lot like the Vision from the godawful AVENGERS UNITED cartoon ? That´s a fine example how effed up comics get when toy companies take over the reigns.
ReplyDeleteI just checked and you are not that far off!!! Avengers United -a filthy, grimy slur upon the once proud title. AAAAAARGH!!! Now look what you've done and I was really calm before!! That really was so awful.....I can't even come up with obscene words to describe it!
ReplyDeleteBy sheer luck ( or bad luck depending on how you see it ) I only saw the first two episodes of the cartoon show Yesterday. This was so bad I have to find the whole show. There are so many things wrong with the show - Hawkeye REALLY looks like somebody from a carny, Wonder Man is as big as the Hulk, and is that really how americans think the Scarlet Witch speaks ? - anyway, the first episode is going to be in one of my next posts.
ReplyDeleteIf you though the Avengers were effed up now........
It's too awful to think about. I think the clues are all there -they wanted an Anime type series that looks like it has elements of Guyver and Power Rangers and...toy spin offs. It really is bad. Bad.
ReplyDeleteYou can find the series on You Tube and see that Kang The Conqueror is Ultron but with a blue and purple colour scheme!!
