With Avengers: Age of Ultron, we're getting introduced to three new team members ( I'm not counting Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's scene at the end of the last Captain America movie as their proper introduction ). Let's take some time to learn about our new friends.
First up is The Vision ( THE ANDROID AVENGER ). His first appearance was in October 1968 in Avengers # 57. His abilities include mass and density control, flight, solar energy projection, super human strength, and self repair / regeneration. Paul Bettany will be portraying Vision, he also voiced Tony Stark's AI "butler" Jarvis in four Marvel movies so far.
The Vision was created by Ultron, who ( in the comics ) was built by Hank "Ant-Man" Pym. In the movies, Marvel has Ultron built by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. In the comics, the Avengers are able to bring The Vision to their side after briefly working for Ultron.
Next, we have Scarlet Witch. Marvel Studios are altering her ( and Quicksilver's ) origin since they don't have all the cinematic rights. Scarlet Witch ( aka Wanda Maximoff ) first appeared in X-Men # 4 in March 1964. She is the daughter of Magneto, though Marvel Studios are not allowed to make any mention of this relationship.
Her abilities include probability manipulation, reality warping, and chaos magic. She is the twin sister of Quicksilver ( we'll get to him in a minute ), and the both of them will come into their powers through other means than being mutants as they are in the comics.
Lastly, we have Quicksilver ( Pietro Maximoff ). You might be familiar with the character after Evan Peters stole the show as Quicksilver in last year's X-Men: Days of Future Past. Marvel Studios have chosen Aaron Taylor Johnson for their speedster.
Quicksilver and his superhuman speed first debuted in X-Men # 4, just like his sister. And just like his sister, he had a cameo during the credits of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
These are just the three new Avengers we're getting introduced to in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Over the next few years we'll also be getting Ant-Man ( this year yet! ), Captain Marvel, Black Panther and the Inhumans. It's an exciting time to be a Marvel fan.
