Avengers

Overview:

Age of Ultron starts off with the whole team fighting Hydra agents to get the Chitauri sceptre which contains the mind stone (one of the infinity stones). They capture it after taking a beating from the twins, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, two of Struckers experiments. However Tony and Bruce decide that they want to build Ultron a guardian for Earth. This goes wrong when Ultron comes to life and kills Jarvis. He then attacks the avengers during a party. This results in some distrust in the team. Ultron runs off and recruits Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. He uses the mind stone to build himself a new and upgraded body. The avengers intercept him and he is forced to pause his transfer. After the avengers take back the mind stone still contained in the new body Ultron originally wanted to be transferred to. Tony and Bruce decide again to try and build Ultron. Cap convinces Pietro and Wanda to join them to stop Ultron they agree to him after Wanda saw into Ultron’s mind and saw the destruction he would cause. Cap learns of Tony and Bruce’s plans and tries to stop them but this only results in a fight between Tony, Bruce, Hawkeye and the Captain, Pietro, Wanda. Thor interrupts them and brings the creature to life later known as Vision. They team up and attack the base were Ultron is and free Black Widow. During their fight Pietro dies while saving Hawkeye. Vision and Ultron share a couple of words before Vision kills him.
