When considering Ultron, one might picture a menacing robot with a distinct desire to dominate humanity—yet his role in Marvel Rivals as a Strategist might reshape perceptions. Ultron, initially announced alongside Emma Frost for Season 2, is expected to join the fray, albeit not immediately. Throughout the game, he is anticipated to adopt a strategic role, though many players find this transition puzzling.

Despite Ultron’s history as a villain—aiming for an extinction level against humanity—the idea of him performing a supportive role raises eyebrows. Nevertheless, there are whispers among players suggesting Tony Stark might have reprogrammed him, reinstating his original benevolent programming.

Quote: “To those who complained about Ultron being a strategist because he wouldn’t help anyone in lore, Tony reprogrammed him back to his original purpose.”

While the understanding of Ultron’s character raises questions, there’s faith in the developers to remain faithful to their source material. Fans are intrigued by the potential of playing as a character with a more menacing edge while holding onto the precision of tactical gameplay.

What awaits in the future for Ultron and his transformation in the game is a subject of eager speculation.
