* TimeyWimeyBall: Seven Avengers of five different eras are pulled together to face Ultron; Hulk from early in his existence when his mutation could be relatively random, James Rhodes during his time as Iron Man, Thor when he was afflicted by the curse of Hela (making his bones fragile but Thor himself is basically immortal), Danielle Cage/Captain America from the "future" (by the standards of the current reader), and Vision, Black Widow and the Jane Foster Thor of the "present".

One of his Avengers remarks on [[VillainousBSOD hearing him crying to himself in his private moments]].

* VillainousBSOD: Ultron has fallen into one after finally accomplishing his goal of conquering his Earth (and Asgard), only to find that not only was it not satisfying, but that he couldn't find a single reason for why he'd done any of it despite assimilating the power of Odin. In his private moments he cries to himself, and when the heroes arrive he rants about being unable to answer the question he can't stop asking himself.

But not all hope is lost, as one man summons together a team of heroes from across time, Avengers from past, present and future, to fight a foe none of them could face alone. And that man... is Doom.

''Ultron Forever'' takes place across three issues (Ultron Forever: Avengers, Ultron Forever: New Avengers, and Ultron Forever: Uncanny Avengers).

!!Tropes:
* AnalogyBackfire: At the beginning of the story, the Vision says he is no more programmed than Black Widow. She retorts that she spent her childhood as a brainwashed agent of the Red Room.
* AndIMustScream: Future!Loki's fate, as a servant to Ultron, turned into nanotechnology and forced to serve Ultron's will. Inbetween the machine gibberish, he manages to plead Thor to help him. So Thor [[MercyKill does]].
* BadassBoast:
** Past!Thor gets one in the second issue:
-->'''Thor:''' For I am the stormbringer! The master of the thunders! I am harrower of Hel and my late father's son! I am all that you have forgotten - unworthy one!
** Captain America has her own:
-->'''Captain America:''' I am the shield!
* BadFuture:
** Captain America's future, at least from our viewpoint. New York is flooded, and resources are scarce. Also, there's campy supervillains about.
** Ultron's future, previously glimpsed in a time-travel arc of Jonathan Hickman's ''Avengers''. In the year 2420, a new, vastly improved Ultimate Ultron fought the Avengers, and killed all of them. Since then, Ultron's taken over damn near everywhere, [[spoiler:including Asgard]]. All humans found are crushed and turned into bio-slaves.
* BlingOfWar: Ultron's true form is a giant, golden body designed to look like he's wearing Asgardian armor.
* CallBack:
** Nat recognises Ultron's future, having been there during Hickman's ''Avengers''.
** Thor is taken from the middle of Simonson's run, and is still suffering Hela's curse, which prevents him from dying.
** Thinking Nat isn't taking him seriously, Hulk tries boasting about how he beat the Metal Master (from Incredible Hulk issue 6).
** Rhodey notes that his armor's causing him a lot of pain, but he doesn't know why (it's because it's calibrated for Tony Stark's mind, not Rhodes', and is slowly driving him mad).
* TheCavalry: One big honking Norse-god themed cavalry, courtesy of Jim Rhodes and basic physics.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Ultron, as a matter of fact, is atomized partway through the second issue. The true threat is Doom.]]
* DramaticIrony: Thor is pleased to see Lady!Thor, believing she took over after he died. Jane doesn't have the heart to tell him what ''really'' happened to him.
* EvilIsPetty: Doom figures that Ultron making his ruling caste his own version of the Avengers is a joke on Ultron's part. Likewise, he figures having the bio-slaves maintain the systems keeping them enslaved is another of Ultron's jokes.
* FastballSpecial: Captain America asks Hulk to supply her one. Despite being a few years before it becomes popular, Hulk manages to figure out what she means, because hey, it ain't rocket science.
* FutureBadass: Captain America, also known as Danielle Cage, daughter of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. She's also got a mix of their powers.
* FutureMeScaresMe: Vision is understandably alarmed at meeting his warped, deformed future self serving Ultron, and vows never to become him.
* HoldTheLine: Seven Avengers, and all the warriors of the Nine Realms, versus an endless supply of killer robots.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Past!Thor, courtesy of Future!Thor. Of course, since Past!Thor literally cannot die, it only allows him to get close.
* LegacyCharacter: The future Captain America is black and a woman.
* MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Hulk (and Banner) are from the early ''Tales to Astonish'' era. Hulk still has the more ape-like design of the time.
* NoodleIncident: Captain America mentions having seen the Doom of her time die.
* NoSell: Ultron's Captain America tries to take over Rhodey's Iron Man armor and make him blow his head off. It doesn't work, because Rhodey's armor is from the 1980s. No Wi-Fi to hack.
* OffWithHisHead:
** Vision blasts off Ultron!Spider-Woman's head.
** Ultron!Black Widow slices off Hulk's head with Captain America's shield. [[spoiler:Mercifully, Hulk's from a time when his powers and abilities fluctuate wildly, so it doesn't kill him.]]
* PhysicalGod: Ultron, courtesy of having taken Odin's power.
* RedeemingReplacement: [[spoiler:Doom, for both Ultron and the original Doctor Doom.]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Doom isn't Doom. He's a Doom''bot''. ''The'' Doombot, that is. The one who served alongside Vision in ''Avengers A.I.]]
* SealedBadassInACan: The entirety of Asgard (except Thor, Loki and Odin) has been sealed away inside a magic mirror.
* VillainousBreakdown: Ultron, once confronted by the three Thors. Even though he's all-powerful, and has the Odinforce ''and'' the Norn stones, he still can't figure out what any of it was for, and goes into a screaming breakdown.
