20 Things You Need To Do Before Seeing Avengers: Age Of Ultron

19. Read Up On Ultron

From the actor to the role itself; Ultron is to the Avengers what the Joker is to Batman, he is their ultimate nemesis and no one has come quite as close as he in dismantling everything the group hold dear. If you€™re not much of a hardcore comic fan, but are interested in the source material to get you in the right frame of mind, Origin of Ultron (Avengers #54-58) would be a good start for obvious reasons. Or, if you're interested in seeing just how destructive the villainous robot can be. then Ultron Unlimited (where he wipes out an entire nation and builds a robot army out of its remains) or the fairly recent namesake Age of Ultron series would be the right way to go. You€™ll find out he€™s so much more than an angry robot bent on world domination and you€™ll see why he is the perfect villain for the Avengers sequel.
