* CameBackWrong: The Vision's original body, reanimated by S.W.O.R.D. using Wanda's Chaos Magic as a living weapon, the very thing Vision explicitly did not want to have happen to him as per his will. He still has all of his prior memories up to his death in ''Infinity War'' but no emotional connection to them whatsoever, and they are at first locked away inside his mind.
* CreepyBlueEyes: His eyes are now ice blue, bordering on white, which help to exemplify his unnatural and cold nature. They go back to normal when Hex Vision restores his memories.
* CreepyMonotone: Emotionless, and with a slight mechanical reverb to his voice that wasn't there before. It goes away when Westview Vision restores his memories.
* ExactWords: Part of his programming is to kill the Vision. As the Hex Vision points out, since he's not 'real', that directive doesn't apply to him.
* EyeMotifs: His eyes turn back to how they were before when the Hex Vision restores his memories.
* LightIsNotGood: His body is entirely white, and he's a sentient weapon, and is completely robotic and hostile towards both Wanda and Vision before his memories are restored.
* MirrorMatch: Fights against Wanda's Vision, who has all the same powers.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: PlayedWith. While the Vision was always a Synthezoid in the MCU, S.W.O.R.D. took his remains and converted him into a sentient weapon for their own purposes.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Referred to as "The Vision" in the credits of the ''[=WandaVision=]'' finale, to differentiate him from the Westview Vision, credited as just "Vision".
* SpockSpeak: More cold and robotic in speech than Vis. For example, when the Hex Vision tries to talk him down, he asks for more information by saying "I require more elaboration."

* ActuallyADoombot: The fact he's not the original Vision but a recreation born from Wanda's magic and love is deliberately held back to be revealed to the audience in Episode 8.
* AllLovingHero: Much like his predecessor, this Vision shows compassion towards everyone, no matter who they are, and when disintegrating before S.W.O.R.D.'s eyes outside the Hex, all he does is plea for the people of Westview to be helped.
* BackFromTheDead: Subverted. His sudden appearance within Westview gives us the implication that Vision was somehow resurrected by Wanda in her own way, which is backed up by Hayward showing footage of Wanda seemingly breaking into S.W.O.R.D headquarters a few days ago. But then Episode 8 reveals that this Vision is actually a construct of Wanda's alongside Westview, and that Hayward lied about her stealing the original Vision's body.
* CharacterDevelopment: Gradually displays more and more resistance to the script of the shows as he becomes more and more aware of it, though still reflecting the more comedic nature of the world Wanda has created.
* CompositeCharacter: His role of [[spoiler:awakening people from the reality-warping power in the Westview Anomaly]] is very similar to Layla Miller's role in the famous Comicbook/HouseOfM storyline that the show is based on.
* {{Determinator}}: Vision’s attempt to escape Westview and get help for the town culminates in him trying to force his way out of the Hex, even as doing so results in him being painfully disintegrated and almost killed... and the only thing he does is beg for someone to help the people inside.
* EveryoneHasStandards: From the very first episode of ''Series/WandaVision'', this version of Vision is aware that something is off about Westview, but mostly shrugs it off in order to show love and support for his wife. But when he finds out just how much responsibility Wanda has in making Westview (and himself) what they are in the fifth episode, Vision stops playing along and starts questioning and accusing Wanda of being responsible for what's happening.
* ElectronicEyes: Subverted here, as this Vision notably has regular human-like eyes, while in all of his previous appearances, the real Vision had electronic rings around his cornea.
* FishOutOfWater: This version of Vision attempts to be a perfect sitcom husband in a seemingly normal small town while he is a superpowered android.
* FlyingBrick: As shown best in his fight with "White Vision".
* {{Foil}}: To the new "White Vision" born from the original’s remains via Project Cataract.
** Westview Vision is a creation of Wanda, and reflects her own impression of Vision as her lover and friend, but also the inherently more comedic and "warm" nature of the sitcom-style universe he was born in. Still, he maintains his predecessor’s most positive and self-sacrificing aspects, displaying a genuine heroic and altruistic personality, even when it puts him in danger.
** At the same time, Project Cataract is born of a similar desire to resurrect Vision, but not as a loving spouse like Wanda desires, but instead as a sentient weapon under S.W.O.R.D.'s (and by extension, Hayward’s) command. Time will tell if Project Cataract reflects his comic inspiration’s emotionless behavior, which would provide another contrast with Westview Vision’s greater warmth and personality.
* HappilyMarried: To Wanda, as though their situation strains the relationship, he still remains determined to help her.
* HenpeckedHusband: Becomes a ''very'' dark example of this. Though Vision slowly starts to realize what Wanda is forcing upon him and the citizens of Westview, he finds himself unable to do much but play along for most of the series. It's not until he tries to breach the borders of Westview that he's able to be a bit more autonomous.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: In spite of being a creation of Wanda's, this Vision is still an AllLovingHero who wants everyone to be happy at all times. As such, he finds it impossible to shrug off Wanda's chokehold over Westview once he realizes what's happening in the town.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: He's one for Wanda, being one of the few things that's keeping her from a complete mental breakdown. Her mental state gets noticeably worse when he is absent in Episode 7.
* LivingMemory: He's essentially a manifestation of all of Wanda's positive emotions like love regarding Vision, as well as the pieces of the Mind Stone that connect their destinies.
* LogicBomb: Defeats "White Vision" with a philosophical argument - "White Vision" is meant to destroy Vision, but given their respective natures and the Ship of Theseus concept, technically speaking, "White Vision" is the real Vision. After all, he has all of the original's memories (blocked off), while Westview Vision admits that he does not. "White Vision" permits him to unlock those memories, then flies off.
* MoralityPet: Despite degrading to a selfish StepfordSmiler, Wanda can't bring herself to harm Vision directly. Vision for his part tries to convince Wanda to not blindly accept the illusion and after learning what she's doing, tries to talk her out of it.
* TheNeedless: Like his original self, Vision has no need to eat or drink due to being an android, and doesn't even have to breathe normally as seen in the sixth episode. He takes it a bit further than his original self however in that he refuses to simulate eat or drinking ''at all'' when in public, forcing him to make excuses for why he can't do so.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The first episode has Wanda offhandedly mention that Vision is capable of moving at the speed of sound, which he demonstrates in the third. This is something the original Vision couldn't do, hinting that Vision isn't quite as we know him. It's also worth noting that he hasn't used this ability after Pietro Maximoff shows up.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Wanda tries gaslighting him about the strangeness of Westview and her treatment of the townsfolk one too many times, Vision practically ''explodes'' in rage, correctly pointing out that what she's doing to both him and the citizens of Westview is wrong. Wanda is utterly gobsmacked by his reaction, noting how Vision never acted like this towards her before.
* PygmalionSnapback: While investigating the oddities of ''[=WandaVision=]'', Vision is revealed to be able to undo the mind control that Wanda has established over the citizens of Westview, which he uses to comfort Abilash and Agnes before putting them back under, and later uses it on Darcy to get information on the outside world and as accompaniment to Wanda's house. Though it's subverted in the case of Agnes, as it turns out she was faking her brainwashing.
* RageBreakingPoint: During Episode 5, he reaches his limit with Wanda's lies and manipulation and firmly calls her out on it.
-->'''Vision:''' Norm has a ''family'', Wanda! He has a family, and he can't reach them because ''you'' won't let him reach them!\\
'''Wanda:''' I don't know what you're talking about!\\
'''Vision:''' ''STOP '''LYING''' TO ME!!''
* SpottingTheThread: The earliest signs of him "going off-script" were moments when his analytical mind couldn’t help but detect the illogical fallacies of the world around him (though it was inconsistent, as he ''himself'' is a product of the illogical fallacies of the world around him). In particular, the moment Wanda loses control of him for good specifically occurs when Agnes (intentionally) "flubs" her lines, and Wanda loses the ability to "rewind and edit" the incident, which alerts Vision to the inherently scripted aspect of the show.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Vision is noticeably more enthusiastic and animated in this series than he was in the mainline movies. Though given that he's doing his best to live a normal life in a small American town, it's somewhat justified. Later on, we find out that he's a construct of Wanda's, which makes his sudden cheerful attitude all the more telling.
* WalkingSpoiler: While his return was always a well-publicized mystery of the show, the fact he isn't even a puppeted version of his old body, but in fact a being generated by Wanda’s reality-warping powers is a major reveal. The fact it also coincides with the reveal his original body has separately been reactivated in a case of CameBackWrong is equally game-changing.

'''Vision:''' ''STOP '''LYING''' TO ME!!''
* SpottingTheThread: The earliest signs of him "going off-script" were moments when his analytical mind couldn’t help but detect the illogical fallacies of the world around him (though it was inconsistent, as he ''himself'' is a product of the illogical fallacies of the world around him). In particular, the moment Wanda loses control of him for good specifically occurs when Agnes (intentionally) "flubs" her lines, and Wanda loses the ability to "rewind and edit" the incident, which alerts Vision to the inherently scripted aspect of the show.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Vision is noticeably more enthusiastic and animated in this series than he was in the mainline movies. Though given that he's doing his best to live a normal life in a small American town, it's somewhat justified. Later on, we find out that he's a construct of Wanda's, which makes his sudden cheerful attitude all the more telling.
* WalkingSpoiler: While his return was always a well-publicized mystery of the show, the fact he isn't even a puppeted version of his old body, but in fact a being generated by Wanda’s reality-warping powers is a major reveal. The fact it also coincides with the reveal his original body has separately been reactivated in a case of CameBackWrong is equally game-changing.

[[folder: Vision]]
* TheAce: His addition to the team is the biggest turnaround for the Avengers due to being able to fight Ultron on the cyberspace level and prevent him from fleeing through the internet. He was also the one who found and killed the last Ultron robot. Of the very brief "New Avengers" lineup, it's a toss-up who has the most raw power -- him or Wanda.
* AchillesHeel: Outside of powerful aliens like the [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Black Order]], the only thing that was even able to immobilize him was Scarlet Witch's [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]].
* AdaptationalBadass: Vision is not nearly as powerful in the comics as he is in the films, at least before his appearance in ''Age of Ultron'', where his powers partially come from an Infinity Stone. In the comics he has a pretty standard powerset -- [[FlyingBrick flight, higher than average toughness and strength]], density manipulation powers, and a beam weapon in his solar-powered gem. His origin was also an android given life by copying the brain of another existing superhero. He is also the Avenger most often destroyed because he can be easily rebuilt. In the MCU, his origin and power level are far more impressive, where it takes Thor's lightning to give him life, has vibranium incorporated right into his ''cells'' which makes him nigh indestructible, and wields the Mind Stone.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Although he was built for Ultron's purposes as in the comics, he never actively opposes the Avengers in the film, unlike the comics.
* AdaptedOut: In the comics, Vision's consciousness was based on ComicBook/WonderMan's. This is discarded for ''Age of Ultron'', as Wonder Man has yet to appear in the MCU. [[note]] DependingOnTheWriter, he was also created from the remains of the original Human Torch by Phineas Horton (at Ultron's behest). Horton and the Human Torch don't appear in the film at all (and in fact, a ShoutOut to Horton in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' likely means he is long dead by the time ''Age of Ultron'' takes place), and instead, Vision's synthetic body is created by Helen Cho.[[/note]]
* AffectionateNickname: During their holiday in Scotland, Wanda calls Vision "Vis", which she also calls him in Series/WandaVision.
* AllForNothing:
** In ''Civil War'' he agrees with the Sokovia Accords because he feels that it's the only way to avoid another catastrophe like Sokovia. By the end of the film, a catastrophe not only occurs, it affects him more personally than he could have predicted: the Avengers are torn apart, he and Wanda are on opposite sides, and he's responsible for paralyzing Rhodey.
** In ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:the massive battle in Wakanda between the Avengers and Thanos' troops is done so that they can buy Shuri enough time to extract the Infinity Stone from Vision's head without destroying him. Unfortunately, the battle escalates to the point that Vision has to join in himself before Shuri can complete the process. As a result, he's left relatively open for Thanos to eventually take the Mind Stone from Vision by force, killing him brutally]].
* AllLovingHero:
** Definitely comes across as this, even to the extent of showing genuine sympathy for Ultron. Vision has no desire to hurt anyone or take a life and even tries to convince Ultron to stop fighting. In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' he [[WillfullyWeak willingly holds back]] against Team Cap for the same reasons.
** [[spoiler: As Vision becomes more aware of what's actually happening in ''Series/WandaVision'', he actively shows concern for the citizens of Westview, even getting visibly angry at Wanda at her unwillingness to stop harming them.]] And even then, [[spoiler: he only shows concern for her once the reason for her creation of the fake Westview is revealed to be due to her immense grief at losing him twice, then being faced with his murderer...all within the relative span of a day.]]
* AllYourPowersCombined: Vision's "birth" shows he's made of a little bit of each of the main Avengers: 1) the elements of Captain America's shield; 2) Iron Man's AI companion and his scientific prowess; 3) Hulk's added technical assistance; and 4) the lightning and thunder of Thor. The lightning is especially important, as it gives him a sort of "Frankenstein Monster" vibe to highlight that he is '''literally''' made of each Avenger. This analogy can even be extended to include the secondary Avengers. Black Widow is the team member who steals the Vision's casket from Ultron, while Hawkeye is in charge of transporting it to safety. Scarlet Witch's powers serve as the catalyst for the events in Age of Ultron, while Quicksilver's intervention prevents Iron Man and Hulk from creating Vision by themselves before Thor returns.
* TheAntiNihilist: Agrees with Ultron that the human race is probably doomed, but adds that, "a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts." This suggests that he's more of an [[UsefulNotes/{{Existentialism}} Existentialist]].
* AppropriatedAppellation: Thor just states he "had a vision" after Vis first comes online, and that soon just becomes his name.
* ArtificialHuman: He's an [[OrganicTechnology artificial organic]] sentient being modeled after humans. In the comics, synthezoid (basically, a fully robotic simulacrum of a human).
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: When the Avengers are discussing the Accords, he analyzes all the events of the MCU since ''Iron Man'' and suggests that the Accords are the path of least resistance and the right option for the Avengers.
--> '''Vision:''' In the eight years since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man, the number of known enhanced persons has grown exponentially. And, in that same period, the number of potentially world-ending events as risen at a commensurate rate.
--> '''Steve:''' Are you saying it's our fault?
--> '''Vision:''' I'm saying there may be a causality. Our very strength invites challenge, challenge incites conflict, and conflict...breeds catastrophe. Oversight...oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand.
* BackFromTheDead: In ''Series/WandaVision'', [[spoiler:he's somehow restored to life after his death in ''Infinity War''. While it's not initially clear how it happened, it's revealed in Episode 8 that the Vision in Westview is a construct created by Wanda's Chaos Magic, with him being unable to survive outside of the Hex as a result. Meanwhile, S.W.O.R.D. has been able to bring back Vision's actual remains and turn him into a cold, calculating sentient weapon under Project Cataract, though the Westview Vision eventually helps him regain his original memories.]]
* BadassBystander: Essentially his role during the ''Civil War'' airport battle; despite being the most powerful of the pro-Registration heroes, he noticeably limits himself to preventing any of his allies from getting too badly hurt rather than attacking the anti-Registration heroes.
* BadassCape: He sports a huge, yellow cape, just like his comic counterpart. He liked Thor's BadassCape so much that he decided to make one of his own appear out of thin air.
* BadassInDistress: After he is badly injured in ''Infinity War,'' multiple heroes try to save him from being captured and killed by the Children of Thanos. [[spoiler:In the end, Thanos kills him anyway.]]
* BashBrothers: With Thor in ''Age of Ultron'', since Vision proved his worthiness to wield Mjölnir. This comes into play when they are fighting Ultron and his robots and they can pass around the hammer between the two of them. They even comment on how well-balanced the hammer is during the fight. After Ultron is destroyed, Thor trusts Vision enough to keep the Mind Stone for himself.
* BenevolentAI: Considering his consciousness is partially J.A.R.V.I.S., it shouldn't be a surprise that The Vision is a really nice guy and a true Avenger.
* CameBackStrong: Ultron seemingly destroys J.A.R.V.I.S., who later returns and is used as the basis for the Vision.
* CameBackWrong: In ''[=WandaVision=]'' [[spoiler:his body is resurrected without the Mind Stone, causing him to appear as a blue and white version of himself.]]
* TheCape: He is [[TheParagon a truly heroic and powerful creature]]. As a visual cue of this trope, he creates a cape for himself after admiring Thor's.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:One of the few casualties of ''Infinity War'' to not be reversed by ''Endgame''. ''[=WandaVision=]'' puts him in an interesting position in which he's shown to be living in the mysterious reality of the show, but is stated to be dead in the real world.]]
* CompositeCharacter:
** His mind is built from J.A.R.V.I.S., a character whose comic book counterpart had no relation to the original Vision.
** His origin is comparable to Adam Warlock; an ArtificialHuman created in a cocoon by a villain to advance their world domination scheme that sides with the heroes and ends up with an Infinity Stone in his forehead.
** [[DecompositeCharacter However, Adam Warlock is still introduced in the setting years later.]]
* ColorFailure:
** [[spoiler:After having the Mind Stone forcibly ripped out of his head by Thanos, his whole body goes grayscale and his eyes turn milky white as he dies.]]
** His [[spoiler:body's appearance]] in ''[=WandaVision=]'' becomes [[spoiler:ghostly pale after being resurrected using Wanda's Chaos Magic.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Two of them in a row in ''Infinity War'': first, Wanda is forced to destroy the Mind Stone to keep Thanos from claiming it, a slow and painful process that ends up completely destroying Vision. Then, when Thanos uses the Time Stone to undo Wanda's efforts, he brutally tears the Mind Stone from the Vision's forehead, leaving the helpless android screaming in agony as he dies.]]
* {{Cyborg}}: He's a synthetic being built using Vibranium metal bonded to organic tissue.
* DatingCatwoman: Has secretly been meeting up with Wanda for romantic holidays since the events of ''Civil War'', even though Scarlet Witch is a fugitive and a member of the Secret Avengers, while Vision is a member of the New Avengers and part of his duties are trying to apprehend rogue superheroes.
* DeadpanSnarker: Exhibit A is commenting on how much Ultron hates Tony. Clearly ''that'' carried over from J.A.R.V.I.S.
-->'''Ultron:''' [[ShutUpKirk You're unbearably naive!]]\\
'''Vision:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Well... I was born yesterday.]]
* DeathOfPersonality: One of the concerns about getting the Mind Stone out of him is this, though Bruce Banner is reasonably certain the "best parts" will survive. [[spoiler:Due to circumstances, Vision dies without anyone being able to corroborate this theory.]]
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:he is killed when Thanos tears the Mind Stone out of his head]], but in the comics, he was torn apart by ComicBook/SheHulk during ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled''.
* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler:After Thanos rips the Mind Stone out of his head.]]
* DissonantSerenity: He's serene through much of ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'', even during the heat of battle.
* DorkKnight: Vision is one of the stronger Avengers, and a hyper-intelligent artificial humanoid, but due to his (relative) youth, he's also not quite got the hang of human customs, so when not being an Avenger, he hangs around in casual sweaters, getting confused by cooking instructions, and is completely tongue-tied trying to talk to Wanda.
-->'''Vision:''' A pinch of paprika... a pinch?
* DramaPreservingHandicap: Near the beginning of ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:he's badly injured by a sneak attack from the Children of Thanos. He's unable to use the full extent of his powers for the rest of the movie, and has a hard time even walking without help]].
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:Gives a near-inaudible one to comfort Wanda as she uses her powers to destroy the Mind Stone to deprive Thanos of it in ''Infinity War''. Sadly, Thanos simply uses the Time Stone to revert him back and then tears the Mind Stone out of his head, meaning Wanda has to watch him die twice.]]
* EmergentHuman: Unlike Ultron, Vision starts out life with wonder, fascination and naivete, but learns very quickly.
* EnergyWeapon: A highly concentrated beam from the Mind Stone on his forehead.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His ability to wield Mjölnir is what seals his role as Ultron's GoodCounterpart, and allows the Avengers to trust him fully. Even better is that he thinks nothing of it; he just wanted to help Thor a little.
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler: From the very first episode of ''Series/WandaVision'', Vision is aware that something is off about Westview, but mostly shrugs it off in order to show love and support for his wife. But when he finds out just how much responsibility Wanda has in making Westview (and himself) what they are in the fifth episode, Vision stops playing along with what Wanda does, and starts questioning and accusing her of being responsible for what's happening.]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:Both his deaths. The first time when Wanda is forced to MercyKill him by destroying the Mind Stone on his head, Vision is clearly in extreme pain but endures it calmly to comfort Wanda until his death, after which his body explodes into nothingness when the stone is destroyed. When Thanos uses the Time Stone to reverse his death, he simply tears the Mind Stone out of Vision's head with enough force to ''rip his whole forehead open, on-screen'', after which he throws Vision's grey, lifeless body away, his eyes still wide open with terror.]]
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"I love you..."]]
* FishOutOfWater: ''[=WandaVision=]'' has him attempt to be a perfect sitcom husband in a seemingly normal small town while he is a superpowered android.
* {{Flight}}: Capable of doing it without any outside assistance (unlike Thor, who needs Mjölnir or Stormbreaker), making him the first Avengers to do so. Wanda gains this ability shortly afterward.
* FlyingBrick: By far the most straight-forward example in the MCU. He requires no outside tech to fly and possesses NighInvulnerable Vibranium "[[OrganicTechnology flesh]]".
* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:Despite all the effort the Avengers put into trying to save Vision's life in ''Infinity War'', they don't appear to have made any effort to resurrect him in the subsequent five years, or consider how to revive him when trying to undo Thanos' snap; not even Tony and Bruce, who created him. The only mention he gets is from Wanda, and then not even by name]]. He's later shown as [[spoiler: one of the Avengers who died in ''Far From Home'']], and in ''Series/WandaVision'', it's explained that [[spoiler: his living will made it explicitly clear that he did ''not'' want to be resurrected or turned into a weapon. Unfortunately, S.W.O.R.D did exactly that under Project "Cataract"]].
* FullFrontalAssault: He emerges (sans clothing) from the Cradle and lunges at Thor. After he gazes at his reflection in the window, he calms down and forms a green suit out of himself.
* GlamourFailure: ''Infinity War'' shows that Vision is capable of projecting a completely human appearance over himself, but the one thing that gives him away is the Mind Stone's faint glow under the skin of his forehead.
* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: In ''[=WandaVision=]'' [[spoiler:his resurrected body has noticeably pale glowing blue eyes.]]
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Gives Wanda a pained smile during his SenselessSacrifice to comfort her.]]
* GoodCounterpart: To Ultron; he describes himself as being on the side of "life" while Ultron represents destruction. He was intended to be Ultron's final body before the Avengers interfered and loaded J.A.R.V.I.S. into it. It's best shown when Ultron confronts him at the end, with Vision admitting that he believes they may be flawed, but HumansAreSpecial.
* GoodIsNotSoft:
** In ''Age of Ultron'' he may empathize with Ultron's confusion and cynicism, but he also recognizes that said confusion and cynicism compels Ultron to destroy the world, and Vision won't allow that.
** In ''Civil War'' he doesn't hesitate to use his powers to keep Wanda at home and support the Pro-Registration team.
** In ''Infinity War'' he has no problem impaling Corvus Glaive to keep him from killing Steve Rogers.
** In ''[=WandaVision=]'' he gets very angry when he finds out [[spoiler:Wanda has been brainwashing an entire town of people, floating over her and shouting in a way he's never done before.]]
* HasTwoDaddies: Has '''four''' daddies, to be exact. His consciousness is a combination of Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Ultron and J.A.R.V.I.S overlays, fused into one autonomous being by the Mind Stone.
* HenpeckedHusband: [[spoiler: Becomes a ''very'' dark example of this in ''Series/WandaVision''. Though Vision slowly starts to realize what Wanda is forcing upon him and the citizens of Westview, he finds himself unable to do much but play along.]]
* HeroAntagonist: Towards Captain America and the Anti-Registration team in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''.
* HeroicSacrifice: As the holder of the Mind Stone, Vision wishes that Wanda kills him by destroying the Stone, stopping Thanos from taking all the Infinity Stones. [[spoiler:With great anguish, Wanda does destroy the Mind Stone and causes Vision's death in the process, but then Thanos undoes Vision's sacrifice with the Time Stone.]]
* HumansAreFlawed: He agrees with Ultron that humans are "doomed" and considers them odd.
* HumansAreSpecial: At the same time, he says that there is grace to humans and that he is privileged to be among them.
* HumanDisguise:
** In ''Infinity War'', Vision disguises his robotic nature and appears human to walk on the streets without attracting attention.
** In ''Wandavision'' Wanda uses magic to help him blend in with their suburban neighborhood.
* IcyBlueEyes: [[spoiler:After his body is brought back without the Mind Stone in ''[=WandaVision=]'' his eyes become a cold glowing blue.]]
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: He’s pure of heart and worthy to wield Mjolnir, and he even describes himself as being on the side of life itself. While he can make mistakes and isn’t afraid to resort to violence, he has thus far never committed an action out of spite or selfishness. In ''[=WandaVision=]'', [[spoiler: when he manages to escape the Hex, and is slowly being destroyed, he calls out for help, not for himself, but for the others trapped inside. And when he's told what has happened to Wanda in a very short amount of time, as frustrated as he is with her, he goes off to be by her side]].
* InstantCostumeChange: Vision is able to cosmetically alter his form at will, first by changing most of his pigment to simulate clothing, then generating a cape from thin air.
* {{Intangibility}}:
** The Vision puts his power to phase through matter to good use in both mundane life (like walking through walls) and during combat. Ant-Man is especially confused when he tries to grab the android and he just phases through his body. It fails to protect Vision against Wanda, however, and she reverses the process to make him heavy enough to fall through the floors of the Avengers building.
** In ''Civil War'', he demonstrates that he can make part of his body intangible while other parts remain solid -- he grabs Clint's bow while letting an arrow pass right through his chest.
* {{Irony}}: In the comics, Vision is well known [[DeathIsCheap for being destroyed in battle and resurrected without problem]], owing to his mechanical nature as an android, which is something no one seems to mind. [[spoiler: Here, not only is Vision's death final, but he has an explicit will to not revive him in any form.]]
* ItIsDehumanizing: In ''Age of Ultron'', some of the Avengers (Cap and Iron Man) refer to Vision as an "it", while Thor addresses Vision as "he" from the start. By ''Infinity War'', everyone's treating him as a "he". [[spoiler:Meanwhile S.W.O.R.D director Hayward has never regarded him as anything more than an asset, openly calling Vision "it" even in the presence of a grieving Wanda]]
* JustAMachine: Downplayed, but Vision's will explicitly states that if he dies, he is to be laid to rest, not rebuilt or resurrected. [[spoiler:S.W.O.R.D. cheerfully disregards said will and spends who knows how long taking him apart for science.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Despite the mass-resurrections in ''Endgame'', Vision doesn't get to come back to life by virtue of the fact that he wasn't killed by the Snap, and thus his death wasn't undone. In ''Series/WandaVision'', he appears to be something of a Schrödinger's Cat, alive and dead at the same time. A version of him exists as a construct made from Wanda's chaos magic who can only survive inside the Hex, while his corpse has been resurrected as a cold unfeeling weapon under S.W.O.R.D's control]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: After being resurrected in ''[=WandaVision=]'', Vision is unable to remember anything before coming to Westview with his wife. He takes notice of this in Episode 5, and demands to Wanda why this is. The following two episodes show that Vision's amnesia is so great that he doesn't even know how he was created, how he died, or even what an Avenger is. As it turns out, it's because he was created by Wanda as part of the Hex to be her husband, without any memories beyond that purpose.]]
* LiteralMinded: As befits someone with a computer mind. Wanda chides him for entering her room by phasing through the wall and he sheepishly responds that the door was open, implying she had previously given him this condition for entering but that he failed to make the correlation between the door being open and ''using'' the door. He picks up on his mistake seconds later.
* LogicalWeakness: Magic and-energy based attacks can temporarily cripple him, since he is an android composed of synthetic flesh. He is susceptible to electrical attacks for a similar reason, as Hawkeye finds out, and Wanda is able to temporarily negate the Mind Stone and force him into submission during her escape from the Avengers compound in ''Civil War'' due to her being gifted powers by the same stone. As shown in ''Infinity War'', he is also not immune to sneak attacks, or to weapons that are stronger than Vibranium. So when he gets badly hurt via both of these, he cannot maintain his powers due to his injuries.
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:To Wanda, post-resurrection. Because he wasn't Snapped, he ''stays dead'', and that weighs very heavily on her. She promptly takes that rage out on Thanos.]] And then, in ''[=WandaVision=]'', she [[spoiler: brings him back. Sort of.]]
* MacGuffinSuperPerson: In ''Avengers: Infinity War'', the inclusion of the Mind Stone in his anatomy ultimately means that Thanos '''will''' have to kill or mutilate him to complete the Infinity Gauntlet. [[spoiler:This comes to pass when Thanos tears the Mind Stone directly from his forehead, killing him in the process.]]
* {{Magitek}}: He's a synthetic android created with an Infinity Stone in his forehead and powered up by Thor's lightning.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Vision's worthiness to wield Mjölnir is disputed InUniverse. Thor is firmly of the opinion that he's worthy in the metaphysical sense, but Tony argues that he's able to lift it because he's artificial, and so it's no different from the hammer lying in an elevator on the way up.
* MeaningfulName: Both Ultron and Thor cite having a "vision" in the impetus of his creation.
* MundaneUtility: By ''Civil War'', he's grown so used to his intangibility that he's casually walking through walls all willy-nilly, much to [[NoodleIncident Scarlet Witch's chagrin]], and has to consciously stop himself in order to simply walk through a door.
* TheNeedless: Being an android, Vision doesn't actually need to eat. This bites him in both in ''Civil War'', where he doesn't know how to properly cook a meal, and in ''[=WandaVision=]'', where he has to make up reasons why he can't eat or drink anything when in the company of his neighbors. The latter show also establishes that while he ''can'' breathe when in public, Vision doesn't actually have to do so if there's no one around.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: In [=WandaVision=], Vision is mentioned to have the ability to move at the speed of sound, something that were never hinted at or demonstrated in previous [=MCU=] outings. He demonstrates this proper in the series' third episode, showing that it works very similarly to Pietro's SuperSpeed.
* NiceGuy: The Vision stands out as a gentlemanly, empathetic, and philosophical being willing to fight to protect innocent lives. He even sympathizes with Ultron's anguish, although he's under no illusions regarding the need to kill the rampaging AI.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In an attempt to stop Falcon from driving off War Machine and Iron Man, he fires an extremely powerful laser at Falcon's harness to slow him down. It ends up being strong enough to tear through War Machine's armor, shutting it down in midair and leading to his paralysis.
* NighInvulnerability: Having Vibranium incorporated right into his cells means he is potentially the physically toughest Avenger besides a fully enraged Hulk or the Asgardian Thor. It takes the might and weaponry of Corvus Glaive, a child of Thanos, to bring him down.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[spoiler: As revealed in Episode 4 of ''[=WandaVision=]'', the latter two seem to apply to him now, as he seems to have had his corpse magically reanimated within Westview. After Episode 8, it turns out neither of them really apply to the version of him in the Hex, but would definitely apply to his resurrected corpse in S.W.O.R.D. custody.]]
* NotAfraidToDie: In ''Infinity War'', Vision shows little reluctance when the subject of killing him is brought up, knowing that his death will prevent the Mind Stone from falling into Thanos' hands. He's stopped from going through with it because his teammates believe he can still live without the Mind Stone.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: When Wanda tries gaslighting him about the strangeness of Westview and her treatment of the townsfolk one too many times, Vision practically ''explodes'' in rage, correctly pointing out that what she's doing to both him and the citizens of Westview is wrong. Wanda is utterly gobsmacked by his reaction, noting how Vision never acted like this towards her before.]]
* OfficialCouple: Vision and Wanda have become a couple during the time between ''Civil War'' and ''Infinity War'', meeting up with each other for romantic holidays.
* OneHeadTaller: He's the tallest Avenger (Creator/PaulBettany is 6' 3¼" \ 1,91 m!) and paired with the average-sized Wanda (5' 6" \ 1,68 m).
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: He's among the select few individuals shown to be worthy of wielding an enchanted Mjölnir besides its creator Odin, its intended users, Thor and Hela, [[spoiler:and Steve Rogers]].
* OrganicTechnology: His body is made from synthetic cells that mimic organic tissue, much like the comic books' [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Horton_Cells Horton cells]]. Except here, his cells are bonded with ''[[NighInvulnerable Vibranium]]''.
* OhCrap: He clearly freaks out when Thanos [[spoiler: undoes his death before killing him again.]]
* OutOfFocus: Other than Quicksilver, who was only in one film, he gets the least amount of focus of any of the Avengers, only appearing in three films total, and only having a large role in one. He's introduced towards the end of ''Age of Ultron'', and only plays a minor role in ''Civil War''. ''Infinity War'' is the only film that gives him a decent chunk of story time, and even then, he spends most of it damaged and unable to show most of his power [[spoiler:and ends with him getting destroyed. Along with Heimdall, he's the only hero whose death in ''Infinity War'' sticks in ''Endgame'', and he's the only major character of the franchise to no-show in said film as a result. Even Loki and Gamora appeared as alternate versions of themselves. Vision does come back to the spotlight in ''Series/WandaVision'', albeit as a PosthumousCharacter - and even then, it's only a facsimile of him created by Wanda's powers]].
* TheParagon: He earns the team's instant trust when he is able to effortlessly lift Mjölnir, automatically declaring him moral without flaw and a bigger force of good than even Captain America.
* PatrickStewartSpeech: He delivers one at the end of ''Age Of Ultron'' when the BigBad asks why he would bother protecting humans. It serves as his section quote.
* ThePhilosopher: Even directly after his creation, he shows an introspective, soft-spoken personality that shows some very complex moral stances (to the point where he initially doesn't believe himself to be on the Avengers' side because he's on ''life in general's'' side).
* PhysicalGod: He's powered by the Mind Stone, one of the Infinity Stones. That's several magnitudes higher than an arc reactor.
* PowerCrystal: He has the Mind Stone embedded on his forehead. It's one of the catalysts of his powerful intellect and near-technopath abilities, and lets him shoot a yellow laser beam too.
* PygmalionSnapback: While investigating the oddities of ''[=WandaVision=]'', Vision is revealed to be able to undo the mind control that Wanda has established over the citizens of Westview, which he uses to comfort Abilash and Agnes before putting them back under, and later uses it on Darcy to get information on the outside world and as accompaniment to Wanda's house. [[spoiler:Though it's subverted in the case of Agnes, as it turns out she was faking her brainwashing.]]
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Plays the part in ''[=WandaVision=]'', [[BritishStuffiness where he is almost unfailingly polite,]] [[SharpDressedMan wears classy period-appropriate clothing at all times]], has a clear British accent, [[SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish and is very scholarly,]] as shown by his attempt at reading Charles Darwin's works to his young children and naming one of his sons after William Shakespeare.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: Vision [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this when Ultron calls him naive for being on the side of humanity, having been created the night before the Battle of Sokovia.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:S.W.O.R.D was looking at reviving him to make him into their weapon. Wanda averted this fate by storming their headquarters and stealing his remains. Except it turned out that she didn't, and S.W.O.R.D. ends up succeeding.]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Tony creates the Vision from the same Mind Gem by combining it with JARVIS, creating an even more extremely life-like robot who has intense empathy and love for humans and other living beings, to the point that he can lift Mjolnir. The Vision later proves just how human-like he is in ''Avengers: Infinity War when he goes AWOL and Tony can't find him. Turns out that the reason is that he's hiding out and shacking up with his girlfriend Scarlet Witch.
* SculptedPhysique: He is an android whose body looks like a human sculpture.
* SenselessSacrifice: Vision sacrifices himself by letting Wanda destroy his Mind Stone, ensuring that Thanos can't acquire it and complete his Infinity Stone collection. She succeeds, but Thanos uses the Time Stone to completely rewind Vision's body exploding, and rips it out of his head himself.
* SharpDressedMan: In ''Series/WandaVision'', Vision wears a dashing business suit when heading off to work.
* ShipTease: With Wanda. Deliberate scenes are shown with Wanda staring intently at Vision over two scenes when he is speaking with Thor, and near the end Vision is the one who finds her and rescues her from the falling city where they stare into each other's eyes for a moment, and she ''keeps staring'' as they fly off. That last scene has been confirmed in an [[http://www.craveonline.com/film/interviews/850597-avengers-age-ultron-paul-bettany-vision-second-chances/2 interview]] with Paul Bettany as being a "a nod and a wink" to the Scarlet Witch and Vision's [[RoboticSpouse romantic relationship]] and otherwise [[TangledFamilyTree complicated history]] in the comics. ''Civil War'' sees more of this, with Vision keeping her company while she's under house arrest and him saying he wants the world to see Wanda as he sees her. After Wanda is downed in the airport fight, he immediately goes to her and apologizes to her that it came to this. Outright confirmed in ''Infinity War''.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Marvel went through great lengths to make sure the character was a surprise to mainstream audiences. He's completely absent from the first two trailers of ''Age of Ultron'', only appears for a few seconds in the third, and was generally either absent or downplayed on most of the theatrical posters. Though, in April of 2015, the month before the release of the film, he started making more prominent appearances and got his own character poster.
* TheSmartGuy: Of the [[ThePhilosopher philosophical]] kind, although he's no slouch at science either given he's an android. It helps that he possesses the power of the Mind Stone and that the basis of his personality is a highly intelligent A.I.
* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: He has a British accent since he was created from J.A.R.V.I.S and he is a highly intelligent Synthoid.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:RareMaleExample. He dies twice in ''Infinity War'', first by a MercyKill from his lover Wanda and second by Thanos reversing said death so he can take the Mind Stone which kills him again, and doesn't get resurrected in ''Endgame''. The only time he's ever mentioned (and not even by name) is when an angry Wanda unleashes all of her powers upon Thanos for taking away everything she loves. It even happens again in [=WandaVision=], when seeing Vision's body cut up by SWORD enrages Wanda enough for her to create a massive illusion that includes a Vision facsimile.]]
* SuperIntelligence: He is based on a highly advanced A.I. and has the power of the Mind Stone.
* SuperSpeed: In ''[=WandaVision=]'' he is stated to be capable of moving at the speed of sound, which is shown in episode 3 to apply to his running speed.
* SuperStrength: Able to tear through the Ultron robots very quickly. He also sends Hawkeye flying with a one-handed shove, slices an oncoming bus in half simply by standing in front of it, and knocks Giant-Man off his feet.
* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', he was cordial and polite towards the Anti-Registration team during the battle and even came to Wanda's aid after defeating her.
* SympathyForTheDevil: He tells the Avengers that he doesn't want to destroy Ultron because he's unique, and you can tell he feels sorry for the creature in their last conversation. However, because Ultron is so psychotic, Vision says destroying him is really the only way to stop him.
* ThatManIsDead: He's very gentle in saying it, but he's quick to explain that he is most definitely not J.A.R.V.I.S. {{Justified}}, because he actually ''isn't'' J.A.R.V.I.S; as explained in ''Infinity War'', his mind is a complex mixture of J.A.R.V.I.S, Ultron, and the Mind Stone, among other things.
* TheseusShipParadox: Discussed; while Vision sounds like J.A.R.V.I.S and is primarily composed of him (and played by the same actor as J.A.R.V.I.S), he maintains he is not J.A.R.V.I.S, as he is also comprised of pieces of Ultron and the Mind Stone.
** Then again invoked in ''Series/WandaVision'', [[spoiler:as the Hex-construct Vision confronts the resurrected white Vision. The conundrum is even tempting enough to interrupt the MirrorMatch between the two.]]
* TokenNonHuman: The only ArtificialHuman in the Avengers and the only non-human after Thor left.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: The Vision is, without question, the purest, most noble, and angelic hero introduced into the series thus far, so it's only natural that his death--twice over--should mark the DarkestHour for the Avengers.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Vision is noticeably more enthusiastic and animated in ''Series/WandaVision'' than he was in the mainline movies. Though given that he's doing his best to live a normal life in a small town in America, it's somewhat justified.
* UnexplainedRecovery: The first scene in ''Series/WandaVision'' begins InMediasRes, starting off with a scene of him driving his wife Wanda home. The fact that he was destroyed by Thanos in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' is not addressed at all, and is one of many signs that things are not as they seem in Westview. Those outside the town definitely notice, though, and it's a key point in their ongoing investigation of the town. [[spoiler:In episode 4, we are treated to the lovely image of what seems to be his ''reanimated corpse''. And then episode 8 reveals that the Vision in Westview is not the corpse itself (which Wanda decided to leave behind after she saw how SWORD had him cut up in an attempt to revive him), but a recreation made out of her powers alongside the massive illusion that engulfed the town]].
* WillfullyWeak: In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''. He's certainly the most powerful member of Team Iron Man, but his [[AllLovingHero moral beliefs]] mean he has no desire to take a life or hurt anyone. As a result, most of his contributions in the big battle are support. The one time he cuts loose -- ''accidentally'', at that -- he nearly kills Sam and winds up one-shotting one of his own teammates.
* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler:As a result of being impaled by Corvus Glaive, the Vision spends the bulk of ''Infinity War'' injured and much less powerful than he normally is. He still manages to put up a solid fight against Glaive on two separate occasions, and even succeeds in killing him, but it's clearly more difficult than it would have been if Vision had been at full strength. The damage he sustains also leaves him virtually helpless to stop Thanos from tearing the Mind Stone from his forehead and killing him, since he is unable to phase.]]
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: A few moments after being born, he takes the time to gaze in apparent wonder at the New York City skyline. It's this that seems to make the Avengers pause before attacking him and talking things through.
-->'''Vision:''' A thing is not beautiful because it lasts.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: In ''Infinity War'', he gets impaled by Corvus Glaive's spear which is somehow capable of piercing him even in intangible form. Though he manages to survive, he spends the rest of the movie incapacitated because of this injury.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Although created in an adult form, he's "born" in ''Ultron'' and has his first birthday a few days before the events of ''Civil War''.

[[folder: Vision]]
* TheAce: His addition to the team is the biggest turnaround for the Avengers due to being able to fight Ultron on the cyberspace level and prevent him from fleeing through the internet. He was also the one who found and killed the last Ultron robot. Of the very brief "New Avengers" lineup, it's a toss-up who has the most raw power -- him or Wanda.
* AchillesHeel: Outside of powerful aliens like the [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Black Order]], the only thing that was even able to immobilize him was Scarlet Witch's [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]].
* AdaptationalBadass: Vision is not nearly as powerful in the comics as he is in the films, at least before his appearance in ''Age of Ultron'', where his powers partially come from an Infinity Stone. In the comics he has a pretty standard powerset -- [[FlyingBrick flight, higher than average toughness and strength]], density manipulation powers, and a beam weapon in his solar-powered gem. His origin was also an android given life by copying the brain of another existing superhero. He is also the Avenger most often destroyed because he can be easily rebuilt. In the MCU, his origin and power level are far more impressive, where it takes Thor's lightning to give him life, has vibranium incorporated right into his ''cells'' which makes him nigh indestructible, and wields the Mind Stone.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Although he was built for Ultron's purposes as in the comics, he never actively opposes the Avengers in the film, unlike the comics.
* AdaptedOut: In the comics, Vision's consciousness was based on ComicBook/WonderMan's. This is discarded for ''Age of Ultron'', as Wonder Man has yet to appear in the MCU. [[note]] DependingOnTheWriter, he was also created from the remains of the original Human Torch by Phineas Horton (at Ultron's behest). Horton and the Human Torch don't appear in the film at all (and in fact, a ShoutOut to Horton in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' likely means he is long dead by the time ''Age of Ultron'' takes place), and instead, Vision's synthetic body is created by Helen Cho.[[/note]]
* AffectionateNickname: During their holiday in Scotland, Wanda calls Vision "Vis", which she also calls him in Series/WandaVision.
* AllForNothing:
** In ''Civil War'' he agrees with the Sokovia Accords because he feels that it's the only way to avoid another catastrophe like Sokovia. By the end of the film, a catastrophe not only occurs, it affects him more personally than he could have predicted: the Avengers are torn apart, he and Wanda are on opposite sides, and he's responsible for paralyzing Rhodey.
** In ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:the massive battle in Wakanda between the Avengers and Thanos' troops is done so that they can buy Shuri enough time to extract the Infinity Stone from Vision's head without destroying him. Unfortunately, the battle escalates to the point that Vision has to join in himself before Shuri can complete the process. As a result, he's left relatively open for Thanos to eventually take the Mind Stone from Vision by force, killing him brutally]].
* AllLovingHero:
** Definitely comes across as this, even to the extent of showing genuine sympathy for Ultron. Vision has no desire to hurt anyone or take a life and even tries to convince Ultron to stop fighting. In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' he [[WillfullyWeak willingly holds back]] against Team Cap for the same reasons.
** [[spoiler: As Vision becomes more aware of what's actually happening in ''Series/WandaVision'', he actively shows concern for the citizens of Westview, even getting visibly angry at Wanda at her unwillingness to stop harming them.]] And even then, [[spoiler: he only shows concern for her once the reason for her creation of the fake Westview is revealed to be due to her immense grief at losing him twice, then being faced with his murderer...all within the relative span of a day.]]
* AllYourPowersCombined: Vision's "birth" shows he's made of a little bit of each of the main Avengers: 1) the elements of Captain America's shield; 2) Iron Man's AI companion and his scientific prowess; 3) Hulk's added technical assistance; and 4) the lightning and thunder of Thor. The lightning is especially important, as it gives him a sort of "Frankenstein Monster" vibe to highlight that he is '''literally''' made of each Avenger. This analogy can even be extended to include the secondary Avengers. Black Widow is the team member who steals the Vision's casket from Ultron, while Hawkeye is in charge of transporting it to safety. Scarlet Witch's powers serve as the catalyst for the events in Age of Ultron, while Quicksilver's intervention prevents Iron Man and Hulk from creating Vision by themselves before Thor returns.
* TheAntiNihilist: Agrees with Ultron that the human race is probably doomed, but adds that, "a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts." This suggests that he's more of an [[UsefulNotes/{{Existentialism}} Existentialist]].
* AppropriatedAppellation: Thor just states he "had a vision" after Vis first comes online, and that soon just becomes his name.
* ArtificialHuman: He's an [[OrganicTechnology artificial organic]] sentient being modeled after humans. In the comics, synthezoid (basically, a fully robotic simulacrum of a human).
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: When the Avengers are discussing the Accords, he analyzes all the events of the MCU since ''Iron Man'' and suggests that the Accords are the path of least resistance and the right option for the Avengers.
--> '''Vision:''' In the eight years since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man, the number of known enhanced persons has grown exponentially. And, in that same period, the number of potentially world-ending events as risen at a commensurate rate.
--> '''Steve:''' Are you saying it's our fault?
--> '''Vision:''' I'm saying there may be a causality. Our very strength invites challenge, challenge incites conflict, and conflict...breeds catastrophe. Oversight...oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand.
* BackFromTheDead: In ''Series/WandaVision'', [[spoiler:he's somehow restored to life after his death in ''Infinity War''. While it's not initially clear how it happened, it's revealed in Episode 8 that the Vision in Westview is a construct created by Wanda's Chaos Magic, with him being unable to survive outside of the Hex as a result. Meanwhile, S.W.O.R.D. has been able to bring back Vision's actual remains and turn him into a cold, calculating sentient weapon under Project Cataract, though the Westview Vision eventually helps him regain his original memories.]]
* BadassBystander: Essentially his role during the ''Civil War'' airport battle; despite being the most powerful of the pro-Registration heroes, he noticeably limits himself to preventing any of his allies from getting too badly hurt rather than attacking the anti-Registration heroes.
* BadassCape: He sports a huge, yellow cape, just like his comic counterpart. He liked Thor's BadassCape so much that he decided to make one of his own appear out of thin air.
* BadassInDistress: After he is badly injured in ''Infinity War,'' multiple heroes try to save him from being captured and killed by the Children of Thanos. [[spoiler:In the end, Thanos kills him anyway.]]
* BashBrothers: With Thor in ''Age of Ultron'', since Vision proved his worthiness to wield Mjölnir. This comes into play when they are fighting Ultron and his robots and they can pass around the hammer between the two of them. They even comment on how well-balanced the hammer is during the fight. After Ultron is destroyed, Thor trusts Vision enough to keep the Mind Stone for himself.
* BenevolentAI: Considering his consciousness is partially J.A.R.V.I.S., it shouldn't be a surprise that The Vision is a really nice guy and a true Avenger.
* CameBackStrong: Ultron seemingly destroys J.A.R.V.I.S., who later returns and is used as the basis for the Vision.
* CameBackWrong: In ''[=WandaVision=]'' [[spoiler:his body is resurrected without the Mind Stone, causing him to appear as a blue and white version of himself.]]
* TheCape: He is [[TheParagon a truly heroic and powerful creature]]. As a visual cue of this trope, he creates a cape for himself after admiring Thor's.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:One of the few casualties of ''Infinity War'' to not be reversed by ''Endgame''. ''[=WandaVision=]'' puts him in an interesting position in which he's shown to be living in the mysterious reality of the show, but is stated to be dead in the real world.]]
* CompositeCharacter:
** His mind is built from J.A.R.V.I.S., a character whose comic book counterpart had no relation to the original Vision.
** His origin is comparable to Adam Warlock; an ArtificialHuman created in a cocoon by a villain to advance their world domination scheme that sides with the heroes and ends up with an Infinity Stone in his forehead.
** [[DecompositeCharacter However, Adam Warlock is still introduced in the setting years later.]]
* ColorFailure:
** [[spoiler:After having the Mind Stone forcibly ripped out of his head by Thanos, his whole body goes grayscale and his eyes turn milky white as he dies.]]
** His [[spoiler:body's appearance]] in ''[=WandaVision=]'' becomes [[spoiler:ghostly pale after being resurrected using Wanda's Chaos Magic.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Two of them in a row in ''Infinity War'': first, Wanda is forced to destroy the Mind Stone to keep Thanos from claiming it, a slow and painful process that ends up completely destroying Vision. Then, when Thanos uses the Time Stone to undo Wanda's efforts, he brutally tears the Mind Stone from the Vision's forehead, leaving the helpless android screaming in agony as he dies.]]
* {{Cyborg}}: He's a synthetic being built using Vibranium metal bonded to organic tissue.
* DatingCatwoman: Has secretly been meeting up with Wanda for romantic holidays since the events of ''Civil War'', even though Scarlet Witch is a fugitive and a member of the Secret Avengers, while Vision is a member of the New Avengers and part of his duties are trying to apprehend rogue superheroes.
* DeadpanSnarker: Exhibit A is commenting on how much Ultron hates Tony. Clearly ''that'' carried over from J.A.R.V.I.S.
-->'''Ultron:''' [[ShutUpKirk You're unbearably naive!]]\\
'''Vision:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Well... I was born yesterday.]]
* DeathOfPersonality: One of the concerns about getting the Mind Stone out of him is this, though Bruce Banner is reasonably certain the "best parts" will survive. [[spoiler:Due to circumstances, Vision dies without anyone being able to corroborate this theory.]]
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:he is killed when Thanos tears the Mind Stone out of his head]], but in the comics, he was torn apart by ComicBook/SheHulk during ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled''.
* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler:After Thanos rips the Mind Stone out of his head.]]
* DissonantSerenity: He's serene through much of ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'', even during the heat of battle.
* DorkKnight: Vision is one of the stronger Avengers, and a hyper-intelligent artificial humanoid, but due to his (relative) youth, he's also not quite got the hang of human customs, so when not being an Avenger, he hangs around in casual sweaters, getting confused by cooking instructions, and is completely tongue-tied trying to talk to Wanda.
-->'''Vision:''' A pinch of paprika... a pinch?
* DramaPreservingHandicap: Near the beginning of ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:he's badly injured by a sneak attack from the Children of Thanos. He's unable to use the full extent of his powers for the rest of the movie, and has a hard time even walking without help]].
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:Gives a near-inaudible one to comfort Wanda as she uses her powers to destroy the Mind Stone to deprive Thanos of it in ''Infinity War''. Sadly, Thanos simply uses the Time Stone to revert him back and then tears the Mind Stone out of his head, meaning Wanda has to watch him die twice.]]
* EmergentHuman: Unlike Ultron, Vision starts out life with wonder, fascination and naivete, but learns very quickly.
* EnergyWeapon: A highly concentrated beam from the Mind Stone on his forehead.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His ability to wield Mjölnir is what seals his role as Ultron's GoodCounterpart, and allows the Avengers to trust him fully. Even better is that he thinks nothing of it; he just wanted to help Thor a little.
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler: From the very first episode of ''Series/WandaVision'', Vision is aware that something is off about Westview, but mostly shrugs it off in order to show love and support for his wife. But when he finds out just how much responsibility Wanda has in making Westview (and himself) what they are in the fifth episode, Vision stops playing along with what Wanda does, and starts questioning and accusing her of being responsible for what's happening.]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:Both his deaths. The first time when Wanda is forced to MercyKill him by destroying the Mind Stone on his head, Vision is clearly in extreme pain but endures it calmly to comfort Wanda until his death, after which his body explodes into nothingness when the stone is destroyed. When Thanos uses the Time Stone to reverse his death, he simply tears the Mind Stone out of Vision's head with enough force to ''rip his whole forehead open, on-screen'', after which he throws Vision's grey, lifeless body away, his eyes still wide open with terror.]]
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"I love you..."]]
* FishOutOfWater: ''[=WandaVision=]'' has him attempt to be a perfect sitcom husband in a seemingly normal small town while he is a superpowered android.
* {{Flight}}: Capable of doing it without any outside assistance (unlike Thor, who needs Mjölnir or Stormbreaker), making him the first Avengers to do so. Wanda gains this ability shortly afterward.
* FlyingBrick: By far the most straight-forward example in the MCU. He requires no outside tech to fly and possesses NighInvulnerable Vibranium "[[OrganicTechnology flesh]]".
* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:Despite all the effort the Avengers put into trying to save Vision's life in ''Infinity War'', they don't appear to have made any effort to resurrect him in the subsequent five years, or consider how to revive him when trying to undo Thanos' snap; not even Tony and Bruce, who created him. The only mention he gets is from Wanda, and then not even by name]]. He's later shown as [[spoiler: one of the Avengers who died in ''Far From Home'']], and in ''Series/WandaVision'', it's explained that [[spoiler: his living will made it explicitly clear that he did ''not'' want to be resurrected or turned into a weapon. Unfortunately, S.W.O.R.D did exactly that under Project "Cataract"]].
* FullFrontalAssault: He emerges (sans clothing) from the Cradle and lunges at Thor. After he gazes at his reflection in the window, he calms down and forms a green suit out of himself.
* GlamourFailure: ''Infinity War'' shows that Vision is capable of projecting a completely human appearance over himself, but the one thing that gives him away is the Mind Stone's faint glow under the skin of his forehead.
* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: In ''[=WandaVision=]'' [[spoiler:his resurrected body has noticeably pale glowing blue eyes.]]
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Gives Wanda a pained smile during his SenselessSacrifice to comfort her.]]
* GoodCounterpart: To Ultron; he describes himself as being on the side of "life" while Ultron represents destruction. He was intended to be Ultron's final body before the Avengers interfered and loaded J.A.R.V.I.S. into it. It's best shown when Ultron confronts him at the end, with Vision admitting that he believes they may be flawed, but HumansAreSpecial.
* GoodIsNotSoft:
** In ''Age of Ultron'' he may empathize with Ultron's confusion and cynicism, but he also recognizes that said confusion and cynicism compels Ultron to destroy the world, and Vision won't allow that.
** In ''Civil War'' he doesn't hesitate to use his powers to keep Wanda at home and support the Pro-Registration team.
** In ''Infinity War'' he has no problem impaling Corvus Glaive to keep him from killing Steve Rogers.
** In ''[=WandaVision=]'' he gets very angry when he finds out [[spoiler:Wanda has been brainwashing an entire town of people, floating over her and shouting in a way he's never done before.]]
* HasTwoDaddies: Has '''four''' daddies, to be exact. His consciousness is a combination of Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Ultron and J.A.R.V.I.S overlays, fused into one autonomous being by the Mind Stone.
* HenpeckedHusband: [[spoiler: Becomes a ''very'' dark example of this in ''Series/WandaVision''. Though Vision slowly starts to realize what Wanda is forcing upon him and the citizens of Westview, he finds himself unable to do much but play along.]]
* HeroAntagonist: Towards Captain America and the Anti-Registration team in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''.
* HeroicSacrifice: As the holder of the Mind Stone, Vision wishes that Wanda kills him by destroying the Stone, stopping Thanos from taking all the Infinity Stones. [[spoiler:With great anguish, Wanda does destroy the Mind Stone and causes Vision's death in the process, but then Thanos undoes Vision's sacrifice with the Time Stone.]]
* HumansAreFlawed: He agrees with Ultron that humans are "doomed" and considers them odd.
* HumansAreSpecial: At the same time, he says that there is grace to humans and that he is privileged to be among them.
* HumanDisguise:
** In ''Infinity War'', Vision disguises his robotic nature and appears human to walk on the streets without attracting attention.
** In ''Wandavision'' Wanda uses magic to help him blend in with their suburban neighborhood.
* IcyBlueEyes: [[spoiler:After his body is brought back without the Mind Stone in ''[=WandaVision=]'' his eyes become a cold glowing blue.]]
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: He’s pure of heart and worthy to wield Mjolnir, and he even describes himself as being on the side of life itself. While he can make mistakes and isn’t afraid to resort to violence, he has thus far never committed an action out of spite or selfishness. In ''[=WandaVision=]'', [[spoiler: when he manages to escape the Hex, and is slowly being destroyed, he calls out for help, not for himself, but for the others trapped inside. And when he's told what has happened to Wanda in a very short amount of time, as frustrated as he is with her, he goes off to be by her side]].
* InstantCostumeChange: Vision is able to cosmetically alter his form at will, first by changing most of his pigment to simulate clothing, then generating a cape from thin air.
* {{Intangibility}}:
** The Vision puts his power to phase through matter to good use in both mundane life (like walking through walls) and during combat. Ant-Man is especially confused when he tries to grab the android and he just phases through his body. It fails to protect Vision against Wanda, however, and she reverses the process to make him heavy enough to fall through the floors of the Avengers building.
** In ''Civil War'', he demonstrates that he can make part of his body intangible while other parts remain solid -- he grabs Clint's bow while letting an arrow pass right through his chest.
* {{Irony}}: In the comics, Vision is well known [[DeathIsCheap for being destroyed in battle and resurrected without problem]], owing to his mechanical nature as an android, which is something no one seems to mind. [[spoiler: Here, not only is Vision's death final, but he has an explicit will to not revive him in any form.]]
* ItIsDehumanizing: In ''Age of Ultron'', some of the Avengers (Cap and Iron Man) refer to Vision as an "it", while Thor addresses Vision as "he" from the start. By ''Infinity War'', everyone's treating him as a "he". [[spoiler:Meanwhile S.W.O.R.D director Hayward has never regarded him as anything more than an asset, openly calling Vision "it" even in the presence of a grieving Wanda]]
* JustAMachine: Downplayed, but Vision's will explicitly states that if he dies, he is to be laid to rest, not rebuilt or resurrected. [[spoiler:S.W.O.R.D. cheerfully disregards said will and spends who knows how long taking him apart for science.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Despite the mass-resurrections in ''Endgame'', Vision doesn't get to come back to life by virtue of the fact that he wasn't killed by the Snap, and thus his death wasn't undone. In ''Series/WandaVision'', he appears to be something of a Schrödinger's Cat, alive and dead at the same time. A version of him exists as a construct made from Wanda's chaos magic who can only survive inside the Hex, while his corpse has been resurrected as a cold unfeeling weapon under S.W.O.R.D's control]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: After being resurrected in ''[=WandaVision=]'', Vision is unable to remember anything before coming to Westview with his wife. He takes notice of this in Episode 5, and demands to Wanda why this is. The following two episodes show that Vision's amnesia is so great that he doesn't even know how he was created, how he died, or even what an Avenger is. As it turns out, it's because he was created by Wanda as part of the Hex to be her husband, without any memories beyond that purpose.]]
* LiteralMinded: As befits someone with a computer mind. Wanda chides him for entering her room by phasing through the wall and he sheepishly responds that the door was open, implying she had previously given him this condition for entering but that he failed to make the correlation between the door being open and ''using'' the door. He picks up on his mistake seconds later.
* LogicalWeakness: Magic and-energy based attacks can temporarily cripple him, since he is an android composed of synthetic flesh. He is susceptible to electrical attacks for a similar reason, as Hawkeye finds out, and Wanda is able to temporarily negate the Mind Stone and force him into submission during her escape from the Avengers compound in ''Civil War'' due to her being gifted powers by the same stone. As shown in ''Infinity War'', he is also not immune to sneak attacks, or to weapons that are stronger than Vibranium. So when he gets badly hurt via both of these, he cannot maintain his powers due to his injuries.
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:To Wanda, post-resurrection. Because he wasn't Snapped, he ''stays dead'', and that weighs very heavily on her. She promptly takes that rage out on Thanos.]] And then, in ''[=WandaVision=]'', she [[spoiler: brings him back. Sort of.]]
* MacGuffinSuperPerson: In ''Avengers: Infinity War'', the inclusion of the Mind Stone in his anatomy ultimately means that Thanos '''will''' have to kill or mutilate him to complete the Infinity Gauntlet. [[spoiler:This comes to pass when Thanos tears the Mind Stone directly from his forehead, killing him in the process.]]
* {{Magitek}}: He's a synthetic android created with an Infinity Stone in his forehead and powered up by Thor's lightning.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Vision's worthiness to wield Mjölnir is disputed InUniverse. Thor is firmly of the opinion that he's worthy in the metaphysical sense, but Tony argues that he's able to lift it because he's artificial, and so it's no different from the hammer lying in an elevator on the way up.
* MeaningfulName: Both Ultron and Thor cite having a "vision" in the impetus of his creation.
* MundaneUtility: By ''Civil War'', he's grown so used to his intangibility that he's casually walking through walls all willy-nilly, much to [[NoodleIncident Scarlet Witch's chagrin]], and has to consciously stop himself in order to simply walk through a door.
* TheNeedless: Being an android, Vision doesn't actually need to eat. This bites him in both in ''Civil War'', where he doesn't know how to properly cook a meal, and in ''[=WandaVision=]'', where he has to make up reasons why he can't eat or drink anything when in the company of his neighbors. The latter show also establishes that while he ''can'' breathe when in public, Vision doesn't actually have to do so if there's no one around.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: In [=WandaVision=], Vision is mentioned to have the ability to move at the speed of sound, something that were never hinted at or demonstrated in previous [=MCU=] outings. He demonstrates this proper in the series' third episode, showing that it works very similarly to Pietro's SuperSpeed.
* NiceGuy: The Vision stands out as a gentlemanly, empathetic, and philosophical being willing to fight to protect innocent lives. He even sympathizes with Ultron's anguish, although he's under no illusions regarding the need to kill the rampaging AI.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In an attempt to stop Falcon from driving off War Machine and Iron Man, he fires an extremely powerful laser at Falcon's harness to slow him down. It ends up being strong enough to tear through War Machine's armor, shutting it down in midair and leading to his paralysis.
* NighInvulnerability: Having Vibranium incorporated right into his cells means he is potentially the physically toughest Avenger besides a fully enraged Hulk or the Asgardian Thor. It takes the might and weaponry of Corvus Glaive, a child of Thanos, to bring him down.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[spoiler: As revealed in Episode 4 of ''[=WandaVision=]'', the latter two seem to apply to him now, as he seems to have had his corpse magically reanimated within Westview. After Episode 8, it turns out neither of them really apply to the version of him in the Hex, but would definitely apply to his resurrected corpse in S.W.O.R.D. custody.]]
* NotAfraidToDie: In ''Infinity War'', Vision shows little reluctance when the subject of killing him is brought up, knowing that his death will prevent the Mind Stone from falling into Thanos' hands. He's stopped from going through with it because his teammates believe he can still live without the Mind Stone.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: When Wanda tries gaslighting him about the strangeness of Westview and her treatment of the townsfolk one too many times, Vision practically ''explodes'' in rage, correctly pointing out that what she's doing to both him and the citizens of Westview is wrong. Wanda is utterly gobsmacked by his reaction, noting how Vision never acted like this towards her before.]]
* OfficialCouple: Vision and Wanda have become a couple during the time between ''Civil War'' and ''Infinity War'', meeting up with each other for romantic holidays.
* OneHeadTaller: He's the tallest Avenger (Creator/PaulBettany is 6' 3¼" \ 1,91 m!) and paired with the average-sized Wanda (5' 6" \ 1,68 m).
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: He's among the select few individuals shown to be worthy of wielding an enchanted Mjölnir besides its creator Odin, its intended users, Thor and Hela, [[spoiler:and Steve Rogers]].
* OrganicTechnology: His body is made from synthetic cells that mimic organic tissue, much like the comic books' [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Horton_Cells Horton cells]]. Except here, his cells are bonded with ''[[NighInvulnerable Vibranium]]''.
* OhCrap: He clearly freaks out when Thanos [[spoiler: undoes his death before killing him again.]]
* OutOfFocus: Other than Quicksilver, who was only in one film, he gets the least amount of focus of any of the Avengers, only appearing in three films total, and only having a large role in one. He's introduced towards the end of ''Age of Ultron'', and only plays a minor role in ''Civil War''. ''Infinity War'' is the only film that gives him a decent chunk of story time, and even then, he spends most of it damaged and unable to show most of his power [[spoiler:and ends with him getting destroyed. Along with Heimdall, he's the only hero whose death in ''Infinity War'' sticks in ''Endgame'', and he's the only major character of the franchise to no-show in said film as a result. Even Loki and Gamora appeared as alternate versions of themselves. Vision does come back to the spotlight in ''Series/WandaVision'', albeit as a PosthumousCharacter - and even then, it's only a facsimile of him created by Wanda's powers]].
* TheParagon: He earns the team's instant trust when he is able to effortlessly lift Mjölnir, automatically declaring him moral without flaw and a bigger force of good than even Captain America.
* PatrickStewartSpeech: He delivers one at the end of ''Age Of Ultron'' when the BigBad asks why he would bother protecting humans. It serves as his section quote.
* ThePhilosopher: Even directly after his creation, he shows an introspective, soft-spoken personality that shows some very complex moral stances (to the point where he initially doesn't believe himself to be on the Avengers' side because he's on ''life in general's'' side).
* PhysicalGod: He's powered by the Mind Stone, one of the Infinity Stones. That's several magnitudes higher than an arc reactor.
* PowerCrystal: He has the Mind Stone embedded on his forehead. It's one of the catalysts of his powerful intellect and near-technopath abilities, and lets him shoot a yellow laser beam too.
* PygmalionSnapback: While investigating the oddities of ''[=WandaVision=]'', Vision is revealed to be able to undo the mind control that Wanda has established over the citizens of Westview, which he uses to comfort Abilash and Agnes before putting them back under, and later uses it on Darcy to get information on the outside world and as accompaniment to Wanda's house. [[spoiler:Though it's subverted in the case of Agnes, as it turns out she was faking her brainwashing.]]
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Plays the part in ''[=WandaVision=]'', [[BritishStuffiness where he is almost unfailingly polite,]] [[SharpDressedMan wears classy period-appropriate clothing at all times]], has a clear British accent, [[SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish and is very scholarly,]] as shown by his attempt at reading Charles Darwin's works to his young children and naming one of his sons after William Shakespeare.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: Vision [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this when Ultron calls him naive for being on the side of humanity, having been created the night before the Battle of Sokovia.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:S.W.O.R.D was looking at reviving him to make him into their weapon. Wanda averted this fate by storming their headquarters and stealing his remains. Except it turned out that she didn't, and S.W.O.R.D. ends up succeeding.]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Tony creates the Vision from the same Mind Gem by combining it with JARVIS, creating an even more extremely life-like robot who has intense empathy and love for humans and other living beings, to the point that he can lift Mjolnir. The Vision later proves just how human-like he is in ''Avengers: Infinity War when he goes AWOL and Tony can't find him. Turns out that the reason is that he's hiding out and shacking up with his girlfriend Scarlet Witch.
* SculptedPhysique: He is an android whose body looks like a human sculpture.
* SenselessSacrifice: Vision sacrifices himself by letting Wanda destroy his Mind Stone, ensuring that Thanos can't acquire it and complete his Infinity Stone collection. She succeeds, but Thanos uses the Time Stone to completely rewind Vision's body exploding, and rips it out of his head himself.
* SharpDressedMan: In ''Series/WandaVision'', Vision wears a dashing business suit when heading off to work.
* ShipTease: With Wanda. Deliberate scenes are shown with Wanda staring intently at Vision over two scenes when he is speaking with Thor, and near the end Vision is the one who finds her and rescues her from the falling city where they stare into each other's eyes for a moment, and she ''keeps staring'' as they fly off. That last scene has been confirmed in an [[http://www.craveonline.com/film/interviews/850597-avengers-age-ultron-paul-bettany-vision-second-chances/2 interview]] with Paul Bettany as being a "a nod and a wink" to the Scarlet Witch and Vision's [[RoboticSpouse romantic relationship]] and otherwise [[TangledFamilyTree complicated history]] in the comics. ''Civil War'' sees more of this, with Vision keeping her company while she's under house arrest and him saying he wants the world to see Wanda as he sees her. After Wanda is downed in the airport fight, he immediately goes to her and apologizes to her that it came to this. Outright confirmed in ''Infinity War''.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Marvel went through great lengths to make sure the character was a surprise to mainstream audiences. He's completely absent from the first two trailers of ''Age of Ultron'', only appears for a few seconds in the third, and was generally either absent or downplayed on most of the theatrical posters. Though, in April of 2015, the month before the release of the film, he started making more prominent appearances and got his own character poster.
* TheSmartGuy: Of the [[ThePhilosopher philosophical]] kind, although he's no slouch at science either given he's an android. It helps that he possesses the power of the Mind Stone and that the basis of his personality is a highly intelligent A.I.
* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: He has a British accent since he was created from J.A.R.V.I.S and he is a highly intelligent Synthoid.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:RareMaleExample. He dies twice in ''Infinity War'', first by a MercyKill from his lover Wanda and second by Thanos reversing said death so he can take the Mind Stone which kills him again, and doesn't get resurrected in ''Endgame''. The only time he's ever mentioned (and not even by name) is when an angry Wanda unleashes all of her powers upon Thanos for taking away everything she loves. It even happens again in [=WandaVision=], when seeing Vision's body cut up by SWORD enrages Wanda enough for her to create a massive illusion that includes a Vision facsimile.]]
* SuperIntelligence: He is based on a highly advanced A.I. and has the power of the Mind Stone.
* SuperSpeed: In ''[=WandaVision=]'' he is stated to be capable of moving at the speed of sound, which is shown in episode 3 to apply to his running speed.
* SuperStrength: Able to tear through the Ultron robots very quickly. He also sends Hawkeye flying with a one-handed shove, slices an oncoming bus in half simply by standing in front of it, and knocks Giant-Man off his feet.
* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', he was cordial and polite towards the Anti-Registration team during the battle and even came to Wanda's aid after defeating her.
* SympathyForTheDevil: He tells the Avengers that he doesn't want to destroy Ultron because he's unique, and you can tell he feels sorry for the creature in their last conversation. However, because Ultron is so psychotic, Vision says destroying him is really the only way to stop him.
* ThatManIsDead: He's very gentle in saying it, but he's quick to explain that he is most definitely not J.A.R.V.I.S. {{Justified}}, because he actually ''isn't'' J.A.R.V.I.S; as explained in ''Infinity War'', his mind is a complex mixture of J.A.R.V.I.S, Ultron, and the Mind Stone, among other things.
* TheseusShipParadox: Discussed; while Vision sounds like J.A.R.V.I.S and is primarily composed of him (and played by the same actor as J.A.R.V.I.S), he maintains he is not J.A.R.V.I.S, as he is also comprised of pieces of Ultron and the Mind Stone.
** Then again invoked in ''Series/WandaVision'', [[spoiler:as the Hex-construct Vision confronts the resurrected white Vision. The conundrum is even tempting enough to interrupt the MirrorMatch between the two.]]
* TokenNonHuman: The only ArtificialHuman in the Avengers and the only non-human after Thor left.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: The Vision is, without question, the purest, most noble, and angelic hero introduced into the series thus far, so it's only natural that his death--twice over--should mark the DarkestHour for the Avengers.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Vision is noticeably more enthusiastic and animated in ''Series/WandaVision'' than he was in the mainline movies. Though given that he's doing his best to live a normal life in a small town in America, it's somewhat justified.
* UnexplainedRecovery: The first scene in ''Series/WandaVision'' begins InMediasRes, starting off with a scene of him driving his wife Wanda home. The fact that he was destroyed by Thanos in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' is not addressed at all, and is one of many signs that things are not as they seem in Westview. Those outside the town definitely notice, though, and it's a key point in their ongoing investigation of the town. [[spoiler:In episode 4, we are treated to the lovely image of what seems to be his ''reanimated corpse''. And then episode 8 reveals that the Vision in Westview is not the corpse itself (which Wanda decided to leave behind after she saw how SWORD had him cut up in an attempt to revive him), but a recreation made out of her powers alongside the massive illusion that engulfed the town]].
* WillfullyWeak: In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''. He's certainly the most powerful member of Team Iron Man, but his [[AllLovingHero moral beliefs]] mean he has no desire to take a life or hurt anyone. As a result, most of his contributions in the big battle are support. The one time he cuts loose -- ''accidentally'', at that -- he nearly kills Sam and winds up one-shotting one of his own teammates.
* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler:As a result of being impaled by Corvus Glaive, the Vision spends the bulk of ''Infinity War'' injured and much less powerful than he normally is. He still manages to put up a solid fight against Glaive on two separate occasions, and even succeeds in killing him, but it's clearly more difficult than it would have been if Vision had been at full strength. The damage he sustains also leaves him virtually helpless to stop Thanos from tearing the Mind Stone from his forehead and killing him, since he is unable to phase.]]
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: A few moments after being born, he takes the time to gaze in apparent wonder at the New York City skyline. It's this that seems to make the Avengers pause before attacking him and talking things through.
-->'''Vision:''' A thing is not beautiful because it lasts.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: In ''Infinity War'', he gets impaled by Corvus Glaive's spear which is somehow capable of piercing him even in intangible form. Though he manages to survive, he spends the rest of the movie incapacitated because of this injury.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Although created in an adult form, he's "born" in ''Ultron'' and has his first birthday a few days before the events of ''Civil War''.
