Under the Hood

As the creator of Vision, Ultron was looking for perfection - just how he sees his programming. He strives to create something perfect - something that will rid the world of imperfection - humans. Something as simple as a name eludes the character because Ultron wants him unbound to a label, nor ever known to the rest of the world. He was created to mindlessly kill imperfection (as defined by Ultron). The problem is, Ultron designed him with a mind - processing - reasoning - everything he would need to construct the ultimate state of imperfection: Humanity.
