Headscratchers / The Vision (2015)

• In issue #11, Virginia eats a petal from a magical flower that will allow her to see the future. In issue #12, she drinks poisonous water. How could she do so? Being a synthezoid, she doesn't have a digestive tract.
  • Is it confirmed that Vision didn't give her a synthetic equivalent (seeing as he gave her reproductive organs and what not)? They might need to eat something to put others at ease.
    • Vision once talked about having a thoracic furnace that converts matter into energy to simulate eating to put others at ease.
• In issue #12, Virginia lies to Detective Lin, telling him that she tampered with Vision's programming, which caused Vision to go on a rampage. In the All New Avengers comics, Vision was recently mind-controlled by Kang, causing him to betray Ms. Marvel and blackmail Nova. Won't the Avengers start to see Vision as mentally vulnerable, and therefore unfit to be an Avenger?
  • He's still turned evil less times than Tony Stark yet nobody is going to kick Iron Man out of the Avengers.
  • Vision was also mind-controlled by Ultron in Avengers #66, by ISAAC during Roger Stern's Avengers run in the 1980s, and by the Scarlet Witch in Avengers Disassembled. So in the Avengers' eyes, this is at least the fifth time the Vision has become the tool of a villain, and given Comic-Book Time, all of this has happened within the last 10 years or less. So yeah, the Avengers should definitely see him as mentally vulnerable by now.
  • I would assume this is a calculated risk on the Avengers' part. Vision is an invaluable asset who has saved the world 37 times, as he is keen to remind you. The Avengers likely realize they will have to fight Vision every once in a while, but they have defeated him before, and are capable of doing it several more times. All things considered, the threat Vision poses is outweighed by the benefit he brings.
