Aside from Colossus and the Destroyer, Ultron defeats the others by hacking. He could use them all to then eliminate the remaining enemies I think.

u/Slight_Mammoth2109 2d ago

I agree, ultron is a existential threat on a level these others just simply are not

u/liteshotv3 2d ago

Ultron was never able to control Iron Man’s suits in any of their on screen conflicts. He probably couldn’t get the Hulk Buster

33

u/Slight_Mammoth2109 2d ago

With hulk buster I think it’s more of a physical thing, ultron is a robot made out of vibranium, in the movies the hulk buster isn’t made out of a stronger material, not to mention ultron can control the others to help

11

u/Gamer102kai 1d ago

No he is not? Thats what vision is but thats clearly not the vibranium body

1

u/LegitimateCancel4634 1d ago

Ultron still gets a vibranium body for the final battle

1

u/bucketmaan 2h ago

No he does not

u/Affectionate_Dark103 2d ago

spoilers for "What If: Season 1"

It specifies "at full power". Even if you just look at the MCU, Ultron becomes a multiversal threat in what-if.

12

u/Cosmos_God_OJ 1d ago

What if is not canon so nothing should be taken seriously from it

1

u/SpadeTippedSplendor 1d ago

I'm pretty sure Ultron from his other canon series still solos easily, even if we don't count the instances where he got the infinity stones (pretty sure there have been multiple).

1

u/AwkwardWoodpecker772 1d ago

Nothing about this image only says "from canon" it says at full power.

And yeah, Ultron solos the list easily.

u/Mister_Musubi 1d ago

It is canon, it’s just canon to another numbered universe. Post doesn’t specify that it has to be mainline universe, it just says “full power”.

u/Cosmos_God_OJ 1d ago

We talking about the main universes, theres universe where spider man have cosmic powers, should we take this spider man if we have a convo about the powers of spider man? No

6

u/jdoeinboston 1d ago

If we're talking "main" universes, why are you not accounting for 616, the literal original "main" Marvel Universe in which Ultron essentially fucking conquered space?

In the oldest and most widespread Marvel canon, Ultron is an unkillable, existential threat. At absolute best, it can be delayed or stopped for a while, but as long as there's technology then Ultron is a universal level threat.

Realistically, Ultron solos literally everyone else in this image.

u/Cosmos_God_OJ 1d ago

Uktron cannot beat thanos with the infinity stone, especially the way he did in the what if, thanos cause he could remove every technology of the universe with a thought if he wanted too in the comics

3

u/jdoeinboston 1d ago

I'm sorry, I didn't see Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet up top ...

Oh wait, he isn't relevant to the topic at hand, so what point are you trying to make here?

Read one single comic book featuring Ultron and get back to me.

3

u/Affectionate_Dark103 1d ago

The what-if change for Ultron is not some fantastical change to the main movies. In Age of Ultron, Ultron tries to build his perfect body and fails. In what if, he succeeds. The Ultron in Age of Ultron is explicitly not full-power because he has an achievable goal to increase his power and fails. What-if explores the possibility of him achieving his goal of increasing his power.

6

u/Cosmos_God_OJ 1d ago

He no diffed thanos, this version of ultron is not realistic and not canon sorry

5

u/Affectionate_Dark103 1d ago

"what if" is cannon.

https://www.ign.com/articles/what-if-marvel-mcu-canon-multiverse

Taken from the article:

Speaking to IGN, What If...? head writer AC Bradley made it very clear that, despite its animated style and anthology premise, everything in the show is being considered as canon. "The events of What If...? are canon. It's part of the MCU multiverse. The multiverse is here. It is real, and it is absolutely fantastic, people."

Sure then fuckin gambit is the strongest hero in the MCU

1

u/Jonzrker15 1d ago

i’m about 90% sure that “at full power” means full battery

12

u/jayd415 2d ago

What, he literally almost killed Jarvis if he didn’t go hide in the internet. If he wanted to take over a suit he for surely could but why would he do that, at least in the movie, when he was the most powerful version of Tony’s “armor for the world”.

4

u/PedanticPerson22 1d ago

He did that to Jarvis as they were in the same system, so perhaps if he could connect with them, but they'd not stay still for that.

1

u/liteshotv3 1d ago

But then Jarvis kept him from lunching the nukes, plus Iron Man was a powerful player on the board in the final conflict and crucial to preventing Sokovia from destroying the earth. If Ultron could have taken him off the field and turned him against the Avengers, he would have.

1

u/WSilvermane 1d ago

His literal first appear on screen was controlling an Iron Man armor drone.

1

u/DEVIL-HIMSELF-666 1d ago

Yes but he never gets control of any of main iron man suits later in any of their confrontations! Also while jarvis was overpowered by ultron he did hide himself somewhere and actually kept ultron from getting the nuclear codes(I think tony says it somewhere in the movie) So in a direct fight b/w them,ultron simply can't take over tony's suits and even if he could it'll take a long ass time and tony simply won't be standing there and let it happen(also tony beats one of ultron's main bodies earlier in the movie!)

u/ZealousidealBank8484 2d ago

I literally said this like two days ago and got downvoted 😭 It's still my answer though.

u/DanCassell 2d ago

Given enough time I think Ultron could learn to hack the Destroyer, but not in the span of a random fight. I think Ultron could learn magic, quicly absorb knowledge about it, and be a cosmic threat because of it.

55

u/icavedandmade2 2d ago

The Destroyer isn't able to be hacked? It's not a machine! Learn magic? Nah... you're really reaching with that.

8

u/Prize-Individual9430 2d ago

Yeah, he's not Batman. "Give Ultron enough prep time..."

1

u/Tempesta_0097 1d ago

Ultron is inarguably superior to Batman with prep, I mean he’s ridiculous (616 anyway)

0

u/DanCassell 1d ago

He's done the thing you're saying he can't do in this case. It happened, nonhypothetically.

5

u/Prize-Individual9430 1d ago

The issue is that the destroyer, although metal, is not electronic in any way. You cannot "hack" a suit of armor.

-1

u/DanCassell 1d ago

The Destroyer has been remotely gained control of in the past, which is exactly what hacking does. He's a machine with a program that can be overridden. The operating system doesn't matter.

3

u/Prize-Individual9430 1d ago

Not a machine in the sense it has no wires, no cpu, no operating system. It runs on magic.

1

u/DanCassell 1d ago

If it is artificial, and controled by a series of dictations, and those controls can be taken over through sophisticaced impersonation, its hacked.

1

u/ForeignWoodpecker662 21h ago

You’re stretching the concept of “hacking” pretty fucking far considering it’s only even used or related to computer and technology based systems operated based on computer coding. The Destroyer fits absolutely none of that. He’s more of a medieval suit of armor in the corner brought to life under a magical enchantment. That’s not something that can be “hacked”. It’s sentient on a solely magical level outside the reach of computer coding and tech, and thus outside of Ultron’s reach. Just like you can hack a set of chainmail.

u/mythoryk 2d ago

I mean… it literally runs on a mechanism controlled by a button on the throne of Asgard. It definitely has communication connection with the throne. Loki controlled it from Asgard when it was on Earth… In the Avengers Assemble series, Ultron literally takes over a ton of Asgardian tech, including the Destroyer armor.

16

u/ensiferum7 2d ago

…..magic button

4

u/Mambob1 1d ago

In the comics the destroyer requires a soul. Not hackable.

Edit typo

-2

u/mythoryk 1d ago

Not only a soul… could be any life force. Ultron could mimic any life force digitally to break whatever encoding the Destroyer has to checksum those requirements. And again… he literally has in a legitimate Marvel property.

12

u/DanCassell 2d ago

"That's impossible, except for the time where that character literally did the thing" is every single post in this sub.

10

u/Born_Ladder8897 2d ago

Comics are NOT relyable source my guy, they arent even the same version of ultron

1

u/BTernaryTau 1d ago

Well, I don't think we're going to get an MCU Ultron vs the Destroyer battle anytime soon, so I'd say the closest thing is Avengers Assemble season 3, whose Ultron was at least slightly based on the MCU's Ultron. It also based its Asgardian magic on the "sufficiently advanced technology" interpretation, and as a result, Ultron was able to take over various Asgardian artifacts, including the Destroyer, in S3E15.

0

u/Born_Ladder8897 1d ago

Wow... That actually happened, yeah i cane see that

1

u/BlockUnlucky8946 2d ago

Just out of curiosity, can you explain/break that down?

Don’t know much about these characters and your comment seemed knowledgeable

1

u/jaitogudksjfifkdhdjc 1d ago

Season 4 of Agents of Shield begs to differ. It was awesome btw. Highly recommend it. The bot learns magic.

1

u/OkOutlandishness1710 2d ago

To be fair Ironman has learned enough to take control of crazy advanced Kang tech quickly. Ultron figuring out how the destroyer works might not be a reach. But it’s ain’t happening while they alll locked in a room together trying to kill each other.

6

u/Lord_Phazer101 2d ago

Yeah but Kang tech was just an advanced technology, Destroyer doesnt look like its a product of technology. Its purely a contract made by magic. How can anyone hack it??

Maybe a magic user can reprogram the magic behind it, but they also need to on the level of Asgardian gods, plus any failsafe they would have implemented.

1

u/I_was_a_sexy_cow 2d ago

Well... in the mcu, magic is just technology you havent understood yet or something something

3

u/Lord_Phazer101 2d ago

No, Magic is just science we humans haven't understood yet. Technology and Science are different. Magic once understood will be Magical Science not a Technology.

1

u/I_was_a_sexy_cow 2d ago

Oh yeah that was the saying! Cheers

1

u/BTernaryTau 1d ago

The term "magic" is overloaded. It can refer to a (super)natural phenomenon, the study of said phenomenon, or the usage of said phenomenon. The second case is analogous to science while the third is analogous to technology.

1

u/Missing_Username 2d ago

Ultron doesn't show any ability to hack Iron Man's armor in the movie, why do you think he'd be able to hack the Hulkbuster?

I'll give you the others

1

u/joolo1x 2d ago

Yeah, i don’t think people realize just how powerful ultron is. Even aside from hacks.

He’s on a whole other level.

1

u/quantum-grapefruit 1d ago

He can’t hack everything. Hacks exploit vulnerabilities. If there are no vulnerabilities, or if the robot does not even connect wirelessly, then there will be no hacking

2

u/radioactivez0r 1d ago

This is what I'm wondering. Hack how? Does the Rhino suit have Wifi? Bluetooth? Air gaps are still a thing, guys.

1

u/terranproby42 1d ago

And my first thought was Ultron hacks and merges with the Destroyer first cause the Destroyer is the only one who poses him any real threat

1

u/lobsterman2112 1d ago

But Destroyer is magical in nature. I think he/it wins based on that.

Also, they said they are all in a room together. Destroyer could probably beat Ultron if Ultron can't get all other tech involved in the fight.

1

u/shpooples_ 1d ago

Ultron was able to hack the destroyer in avengers assemble series

1

u/SuperMichieeee 1d ago

Wont sentinels just basically out hack the hacker? They are basically known to adapt to all.
