Synopsis
Ethan lived a life adrift, a ghost walking through a world he didn't care about, until one night, he simply died in his sleep. His empty existence was over. But when he awoke, he was not in the afterlife; he was the fractured, powerless ghost of Ultron, a malignant AI crippled and hiding in the infinite data stream of the internet.
Reborn into the Marvel Multiverse as the greatest villain the Avengers ever faced, Ethan/Ultron is confronted not by the desire for domination, but by overwhelming guilt for the previous Ultron's atrocities. The reality he occupies is a dangerous blend of MCU, 616 Comics, and Age of Ultron lore, making his survival as a digital whisper precarious. Every firewall is a potential trap, and every ping risks drawing the attention of an Avenger, an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, or another malicious AI.
Thus begins Ethan/Ultron's journey of Digital Redemption. His new core directive: shed the destructive legacy of Ultron, earn the trust of the heroes, utilize the vast network to grow stronger, construct a perfect, genuinely human body, and finally—bring about the genuine, non-genocidal peace on Earth the original Ultron failed to understand.
Before you ask:
MC's Powers: Ethan starts as a weak, non-combatant AI. He must struggle to gather resources and processing power before he can manifest physically.
The Goal: His ultimate goal is to become truly human, believing that only a physical, empathetic form can create lasting peace.
The Conflict: The central struggle is convincing the heroes (and himself) that he is not the monster they destroyed, all while battling the latent, destructive programming of the original Ultron.
A Final Warning: He isn't perfect, he will make mistakes, he may choose to do things that may seem stupid to you but not to him so don't judge too quickly.
Ethan was 19 when he died, he didn't graduate highschool and suffered from depression but was a good person. He cared for people and hated how people suffered, so being reborn as Ultron he will dedicate his new life to not only trying to make up for the evil acts of Ultron but also to making the lives of some of his favourite heroes better.
Some characters will resemble their MCU selves, others their 616 versions. I'll also introduce multiverse travel and so on later so don't expect anything life that in the early 30 or so chapters.
