Ultron Beyond (Marvel NEW)

Ultron Beyond is a six-issue, limited series comic book within the Marvel NEW initiative. Like other Marvel NEW comics, the story follows classic Marvel characters rebranded and renewed for the modern era. In this case, the iconic Avengers villain, Ultron, is brought back.

In this limited series, Ultron is portrayed as an "aging" villain that is beginning to lose out more battles to superheroes more, especially to his mortal enemies, the Avengers. Forced to desperation, Ultron begins seeking ways incomprehensible to ensure his domination and victory over the Avengers. And in his effort, comes some of the most unorthodox confrontations Ultron has ever known.

Overview + Author's Note
Created by Jacky 50A as he joined the Marvel NEW project, this series brings out something not commonly seen in Ultron in the comics: desperation. In the comics, Ultron is usually portrayed as a powerful, megalomaniac villain whose plans nearly always work out. And when he's defeated, dread consequences also follow. Ultron was pictured as the master of the world at times, overwhelming both heroes and villains alike. But here, an alternative standpoint is given: what if he's the one being overwhelmed? What if his existence would be forgotten and deleted by the monsters known as the Avengers?

Ultron may be mighty and "unstoppable", but it's not long before he's defeated once and for all. Ultron is also "fearless", but in his waning days would he know the fear of being forgotten. Problem is, he's relentless and he'd seek out every way the universe has to offer to ensure his own existence, and later, victory. Earth will no longer be his boundaries, the universe would recognize the name of Ultron and tremble in fear. Could that be true in this series? How far would Ultron go to continue his paranoid conquest? And who would stand in his way? We shall find out the answer in this series.
