Ultron is one of the greatest threats in all of Marvel history. Having threatened not only the Avengers, but the entire universe countless times, the villainous AI is truly one of the most dangerous creatures in creation. But Ultron’s even darker reflection makes his predecessor completely obsolete – and could even destroy universal powers such as Galactus myself.
Avengers AI #11-12 by Samuel Humphries, Andre Lima Araujo, Frank D’Armata and Clayton Cowles give fans a glimpse into a dystopian future in which the rogue AI Dimitrios is caught up. Created by Hank Pym as a counter to Ultron. Dimitrios proves equally uncontrollable and gives birth to the oppressive “Imperium of the Machines”. everywhere among the stars.
Stealing the body of Galactus himself according to an insane scheme To face “God” while inhabiting Iron Man’s old armor, Dimitrios is ultimately defeated by the titular Avengers squad. But these are still impressive achievements, and they demonstrate just how dangerous Ultron’s opposite really is.
Ultron’s opposite, rogue AI Dimitrios, is frighteningly powerful
Galactus is no match for Dimitrios
Any creature strong enough to decapitate Galactus truly a threat to be reckoned with. After all, the Eater of Worlds is one of the fundamental cosmic aspects of the Marvel Universe, meaning that Dimitrios has essentially become powerful enough to bend the laws of the universe in his crazy plan to meet the creator of reality. This is not Galactus’s first defeat, but it is one of his most humiliating defeats. And the fact that the loss came at the hands of a little-known Avengers villain adds even more salt to the wound.
Ultron is one of Marvel’s most iconic villains, but his counterpart, Dimitrios, proved who is the better AI when he defeated Galactus himself.
Like Dimitrios, Ultron has occasionally undertaken his own cosmic conquestsbut never so decisively as its automatic opposite. After all, Dimitrios’ Machine Imperium existed thousands of years in the future—much longer than the vaunted Age of Ultron or his Phalanx gambit. In one story, this AI, opposed to the Avengers, has proven itself to be an important player in the cosmic arena. And although he has not appeared since then, the threat he still poses even to beings like Galactus is very real.
Anti-Ultron is just as bad as its predecessor
Hank Pym must quit while he’s ahead
Ultron is one of Marvel’s most iconic villains, but his counterpart, Dimitrios, proved he’s the better AI when he defeated Galactus himself. Even if the Eater of Worlds falls victim to the rogue AI, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will have to give up their jobs if Dimitrios ever decides to be revived. But in the meantime, Ultron and Dimitrios’ creator, Hank Pym, should really give up on creating artificial intelligence – at least for a while. Galactus‘ sake.
