Avengers: Age Of Ultron - 15 Theories That Were Utter Bull

5. Vision's "Soul"

The Theory: Because the Soul Stone hasn't 100% been confirmed as one of the already discovered Infinity Stones, that would be the key to the Avengers bringing Vision to life. Someone key might even have had to die to imprint him with their heroic soul.

The Supposed Evidence: In the comics, Vision is basically powered by Wonder Man's soul, and nobody really wanted him to be an upgraded version of JARVIS, even when Paul Bettany was cast.

The Reality: The Mind Stone both brings Vision to life (with the help of Thor's lightning powers) and forms his major weaponry in the middle of his fore-head.

In other words, no superheroes were harmed in the making of this Android Jesus.

Would It Have Been Better? Comic purists might say yes, but within the logic of the film, having JARVIS be the foundation of Vision's consciousness made more sense. And the messianic imagery was already more than enough without a resurrection metaphor.
