MCU Quiz: Who Said It - Thanos Or Ultron?

"You could not live with your own failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me."

Thanos Avengers

Two of the biggest villains to feature in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far are Ultron and Thanos. These two baddies were looking to change the Universe and make it what they believed would be a better place. Unfortunately for them, their twisted logic brings them up against Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Following his realisation that what they have in their arsenal to defend Earth might not be enough against what the rest of the universe has in store, Tony Stark created the artificial intelligence program called Ultron, designed to keep the peace. Ultron used an Infinity Stone to break free and continue with their desire to rid the planet of what they thought is Earth's biggest threat, the Avengers. Ultron believed the only way that Earth could be safe was to get rid of humanity as a whole, and thus the android planned a mass extinction of Earth's human population.

Thanos had similar motives. He believed the universe was overpopulated, and after seeing the death of his own planet Titan, he sought the Infinity Stones to help bring balance to the universe. With a snap of his fingers, the Mad Titan looked to reduce the population of the whole galaxy by half, allowing those left to prosper. Though at first it looked like he might succeed, the Avengers didn't rest until they thwarted Thanos' plan.

Let's find out if you can tell the difference between these two ultra villains of the MCU!
