VisionQuest has forever changed the way you’ll watch one Avengers: Infinity War moment
In episode four of *VisionQuest*, Vision lets Ultron take control of his body during a confrontation with Jocasta, and Ultron tricks her into killing her hostage. The revelation that Vision retained Ultron’s code after *Avengers: Age of Ultron* raises a new possibility about a pivotal scene in *Avengers: Infinity War*.
When Thanos reversed time to remove the Mind Stone from Vision, Ultron may have been able to take control and fight back, potentially changing events and preventing the Blip. The article stresses that this is speculation: it is unknown whether Ultron could have acted then. In the current story, Ultron has control of Vision’s body and Tommy Shepherd is also in his hands.
In short
- Vision retained Ultron’s code after *Age of Ultron*.
- Ultron may have been able to resist Thanos in *Infinity War*.
- The show leaves that possibility unconfirmed.
Explained simply
Vision is an android created by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner using the body of the artificial intelligence Ultron and the Mind Stone, a powerful object from the Marvel films. Although Ultron was defeated in Avengers: Age of Ultron, the new series suggests some of his code remained within Vision. Ultron is an artificial intelligence that sees humanity as a threat.
In Avengers: Infinity War, the villain Thanos took the Mind Stone from Vision, helping him wipe out half of life across the universe in an event known as the Blip. The Stone’s removal is central to the film’s climax, so the possibility that Ultron might have been able to intervene raises questions about how that scene could have unfolded. Whether he could actually have taken control at that moment remains unknown.
