Overview:

Iron Lad's Armor was gifted to him by his future self Kang the Conqueror. The armor is neurokinetic capable of reacting to the user's thoughts as soon as they happen. Upon finding out the life he would lead as Kang young Nathaniel took the armor and stole Kang's time chair and traveled into the past to recruit the Avengers but at that time the Avengers had disbanded. Finding the remains of the Vision he downloaded his operating system and used it to recruit his own team of Avengers.

Nathaniel was forced to face his destiny but his armor gained sentience and became the new Vision. Nathaniel later returned to the present during the Children's Crusade event to save Wiccan and the Scarlet Witch. However the death of Stature leads to Iron Lad destroying the Vision and traveling into the time stream to become Kang the Conqueror.
