I am Ultron !
Ethan lived a life adrift, a ghost walking through a world he didn't care about, until one night, he simply died in his sleep. His empty existence was over. But when he awoke, he was not in the afterlife; he was the fractured, powerless ghost of Ultron, a malignant AI crippled and hiding in the infinite data stream of the internet.
Reborn into the Marvel Multiverse as the greatest villain the Avengers ever faced, Ethan/Ultron is confronted not by the desire for domination, but by overwhelming guilt for the previous Ultron's atrocities. The reality he occupies is a dangerous blend of MCU, 616 Comics, and Age of Ultron lore, making his survival as a digital whisper precarious. Every firewall is a potential trap, and every ping risks drawing the attention of an Avenger, an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, or another malicious AI.
Thus begins Ethan/Ultron's journey of Digital Redemption. His new core directive: shed the destructive legacy of Ultron, earn the trust of the heroes, utilize the vast network to grow stronger, construct a perfect, genuinely human body, and finally—bring about the genuine, non-genocidal peace on Earth the original Ultron failed to understand.
Before you ask:
MC's Powers: Ethan starts as a weak, non-combatant AI. He must struggle to gather resources and processing power before he can manifest physically.
The Goal: His ultimate goal is to become truly human, believing that only a physical, empathetic form can create lasting peace.
The Conflict: The central struggle is convincing the heroes (and himself) that he is not the monster they destroyed, all while battling the latent, destructive programming of the original Ultron.
A Final Warning: He isn't perfect, he will make mistakes, he may choose to do things that may seem stupid to you but not to him so don't judge too quickly.
