Avengers: Age of Ultron - Ultron - Funko Mystery Minis - (Hitek Box Gold April 2021)
Ultron is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a self-aware and highly intelligent robot (sometimes referred to as a "synthezoid") created by Hank Pym who developed a grudge against Pym and the human race, and is in many ways a dark reflection of Pym. Ultron's goal to destroy humanity has brought him into conflict with the Avengers, who always managed to thwart and destroy him, but he returned to haunt them time and time again. For this reason, he is often regarded as the Avengers' archenemy.
Ultron's physical body is made of a very durable alloy, and he has manifested various superpowers, which may vary between different stories, but generally include superhuman strength, speed, and agility, flight, and energy projection. The character usually operates solitary or accompanied by his legions of Ultron Sentries, but has also been part of several supervillain teams. Ultron is notable for being the first character in Marvel Comics to wield the fictional metal alloy adamantium and for his (in-story) creation of the Vision.
