((WARNING! This iteration of Ultron is based solely on the teasers, trailers and TV spots for the movie Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, you have been warned.))
It was designed to save the world, to be the world’s suit of armor. But Tony Stark created something terrible and far worse, he created Ultron. An AI hell bent on saving the world, by destroying those who cause it the most damage, humanity. Ultron takes the programming of perfection and protection to a degree that only a machine could.
This version of Ultron for the Mutants and Mastermind system, is just one of numerous iterations of Ultron. This being has been a constant villain in the Marvel comic-verse and now gets to take its extreme programming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I mentioned iterations before as this villain, in the comic-verse, has been defeated over and over again only to rebuild itself stronger than the last, taking into account the previous methods used to defeat it.
PERSONALITY
He follows his programming to a genocidal degree as he believes that the only way to save the world is to destroy Humanity and all living things on it til the only thing left on this world is him. Humans are too chaotic, unorthodox, wild and destructive to be allowed to continue destroying the world on which they live. They are the element that must be corrected and therefore terminated.
But Tony Stark created an AI, so Ultron is adaptive and willing to use any number of methods to accomplish his goals. From manipulation and outright deception to psychological warfare, to hinder those who have the best chance to defeat him.
POWERS & ABILITIES
The main power of this Ultron is his Summon ability of the Drone Army. He was programmed, or stole advanced mechanical and electronic degrees from Tony Stark’s vast arsenal and corporate entity, so given the right tools Ultron will always have minions with which to further his goal. When Ultron raises his hand, numerous drones run or fly in the scene; this power is based on that.
For the sake of players, I limited the number of minions he could summon and wrote up two basic types, the Bruiser and Flyer drones. The Bruiser is a robot made to take a hit and deliver its own right back. The Flyer is not that durable, but its flight ability makes it more strategic and something able to make it into the fight from great distances. This is Mutants and Masterminds and these minions follow the same basic rules: if they suffer a hit they take the maximum effect.
His large size, his strength and metal means he can deal out his own reinforced punches. Ultron also has his Finger Blasters to deal with those distant troubles or send an opponent away from his taking a hit. You see when he stands with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch that Ultron is quite larger than the others, hence the increase in size and his mechanical nature will mean he has formidable strength and durability.
Being an unliving robot means Fortitude checks are not needed as he doesn’t get winded or fatigued. But it does mean he would have the ability of self-repair, meaning the heroes will need to hit hard and hit fast. This is based on the traits of many robotic beings and the self-repair is something a boss type villain would have.
ALLIES
Himself. But Ultron is not above manipulating or outright deceiving those he would consider pawns in his game of extinction for humanity. Like his use of the Maximoff twins, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who aid him in getting the Avengers to lose focus and lose the team work they have been building since the first movie. (Yes, I am Assuming.)
ENEMIES
Everyone not Ultron.
SIDE NOTES
From the comics and even in the clips we have seen, Ultron rebuilds and remakes his body constantly and especially after a defeat. We see a robot/drone/armor that barely appears to be functioning with Ultron’s voice and mannerisms talking to the Avengers. Then we see a huge intimidating robotic form towering over Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, overseeing things. Taking a new and improved stronger body has been a theme for Ultron in comics and in my opinion will be seen in the movie. This build is based on the rebuilt model of Ultron after he reveals himself to the Avengers and begins his plans of annihilating humanity.
