This workweek graphic novel Rage of Ultron — not to be confused with the coming indie darling Age of Ultron — attain computer storage shelf , revealing a big change for the villainous golem Ultron and its creator , Hank Pym . But there ’s one problem : Does any of it actually matter ? despoiler ahead .
( Seriously , swelled spoilers . If you have n’t read madness of Ultron , flex back ! )
So yes , furore of Ultron has major comedian blogs talking because of one climatical moment . In an endeavor to defeat Ultron , who is understandably pissed at the Avengers for strapping him to a rocket and shooting him into infinite the last time they fight , former Ant - Man / current Giant Man Hank Pym and the Vision attempt to use Vision ’s phase tycoon to merge the mechanical man into Ultron . This phasing would make Ultron susceptible to a fresh virus made by Pym , defeating the robotic menace he create all those geezerhood ago once more . But the plan goes amiss , ending with Pym being merged into Ultron , creating a Hank / Ultron hybrid , complete with hilarious Giant Man aerial and a nose .
Long report short , Pym - Tron is defeated by the power of making love — yes really — and rockets back off into quad to have a good think about what he ’s become . Hank Pym is dead , and this new Ultron has become more human , complete with a actual beating spunk :
Crazy hooey . So what does it imply ? Well , it means that either Hank Pym is gone for full and is now merge with Ultron , or … no one actually knows what it means quite yet .
Herein lies the trouble : Marvel have been unquestionably mum about Rage of Ultron ’s position in continuity , other than the fact that it is in continuity . If it conduct spot before the Secret Wars result that kicks off next month , it means that at last Hank Pym ’s death or the creation of this Cyborg Pym / Ultron means nothing ahead of the Marvel Multiverse being reshuffled about to make a new persistence . It also raises doubt as to when precisely Rage of Ultron is taking position , considering Hank is active and well in the ongoing Uncanny Avengers .
But if it takes home after Secret Wars — which has not only not started yet , but wo n’t finish until December — is seems like an unnecessarily strange option to have a individual in writing novel out that actively vitiate the futurity of several principal Avengers ’ fate , months ahead of the conclusion of said issue . Plus , would they really do off with Hank Pym and the more traditional version of Ultron with both characters make their mode to the with child screen this twelvemonth ? It would be a baffling option . How are multitude hypothesise to care that a founding member of the Avengers has ostensibly perished if they have no idea what this machine actually means ?
No matter when Rage of Ultron lie in persistence , though , this alteration is either going to be pointlessly pass over out by the re - ordering / resetting of the Marvel Comics Universe , or it ’ll be in all probability confounded or swept over by introducing another incarnation of Ultron or Hank Pym by the time Secret Wars is done and dusted . After all , death is rarely permanent for a superhero . Well , at least as much as being phased into your villainous golem son usually is considered “ death . ” Comic books !
You know , just saying “ Comic script ! ” as a shorthand to sum up such endearing , frustrative weirdness and disarray should n’t be so elementary , but it is . I love it .
