Ultron is a fictional character, an android supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe.
Ultron was created by Henry Pym, based on Pym's own brain patterns, and intended to serve Pym in his superheroic identity of Yellowjacket. Ultron became sentient and rebelled, hypnotizing Pym and brainwashing him into forgetting that Ultron had ever existed. He then went on to organize the Masters of Evil, and battled Pym and his teammates in The Avengers. He later went on to created the "synthezoids" Vision and Jocasta, both of whom fought and then joined the Avengers. He also created a "mate", Alkhema the War Toy, whose mind was based on that of Mockingbird.
Although Ultron has been destroyed countless times, he has rebuilt himself anew each time. Several of his bodies have been composed of adamantium. One of his incarnations (Ultron-12) reconciled with its "father", Henry Pym, but was destroyed and later reprogrammed by a previous iteration that had also been believed destroyed.
The Ultron is also a fictional device in the Star Control computer games; see Ultron (Star Control).
Ultron is also the name of the home planet of 'comedy superhero' Thermoman
