_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Arguably the greatest and certainly the most horrific creation of scientific genius Dr. Henry Pym, Ultron is a criminally insane rogue sentient robot dedicated to conquest and the extermination of humanity. Years ago, Pym began experimenting with artificial intelligence. Building a structurally crude robot, Pym endowed it with consciousness, using a copy of his own brain patterns as the basis for the robot's programming; however, the robot inherited not only Pym's great intellect, but also Pym's inherent mental instability, only without a human conscience. To Pym's surprise, the robot developed an advanced intellect within moments of its activation, and an unexpected irrational hatred for its "father" Pym and the human race Pym represented. Ultron escaped and has since tried repeatedly to destroy the Avengers and the human race.

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-

• Ultron makes a useful core to an Android Army, giving him a number of spare bodies to fall back on and avoid destruction without requiring an attack. Loading up on cheaper Uncommon Androids such as Doombots and Sentinels makes Ultron difficult to stamp out permanently.
• While Program Transmission 20 works on any figure, Event Heroes cannot be destroyed by special powers - if used on an Event Hero, Ultron cannot return to the board and would be destroyed.
