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 youre 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. Youll find out hes so much more than an angry robot bent on world domination and youll see why he is the perfect villain for the Avengers sequel.
