Marvel's upcoming VisionQuest follows White Vision as he confronts a mind full of uncertain memories and reconnects with the artificial intelligences and family ties around him. These ten comic stories offer a route into the character's history, his connection to Ultron, and the wider world of Marvel's synthetic heroes.
Vision's origins and defining stories
"Behold... The Vision!" (Avengers #55-57, 1968) introduces Vision and Ultron in a classic Silver Age arc. VisionQuest (West Coast Avengers #42-52, 1989-1990) follows Wanda's search for Vision and explores the fallout surrounding his white duplicate and their children. In Tom King's acclaimed The Visions (2015), Vision creates a family and attempts to build a life in the suburbs.
Artificial intelligence and Ultron
Avengers AI: Human After All (2013) brings Vision and Hank Pym together with a team of artificial beings. "The Ultron Initiative" (The Mighty Avengers #1-6, 2007) delivers a team-up against a formidable Ultron threat, while Age of Ultron (2013) imagines a world shaped by the villain's rule. Uprising (The Ultimates #19-24, 2025-2026) offers a more recent alternate-universe take on the Vision and his connection to the original Human Torch.
More threads from Vision's world
"Catastrophe!" (Daredevil #150, 1977) is an early appearance of Paladin, the mercenary set on Vision's trail in the series. The Children's Crusade (2010) centers on Wanda's sons Billy and Tommy and their effort to find their mother. Finally, Wiccan & Hulkling: Raid of Ultron (2026) brings Vision's extended family into a story involving the machine intelligence.
Together, these comics trace how Marvel has used Vision to explore identity, family, and artificial life--ideas likely to keep shaping the character's screen stories.
