![]() Methodology: Using the stopwatch function on our cell phones, we sent nine interns to time Age of Ultron (which clocks in at just over two and a half hours), making note of when characters came on- and offscreen. So, did every Avenger finally get their fair share of screen time, or was Hawkeye left out again with more mind control? To find out, Vulture once again crunched the numbers to see just how long each individual Avenger - Iron Man, Captain America, Bruce Banner/the Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver - appeared in the film, and who had the most time in Age of Ultron. employees, and even a few villains (if we’re counting that post-credits scene). Age of Ultron is a bloated superhero smorgasbord involving at least ten Avengers by the film’s end, several former S.H.I.E.L.D. ![]() So much so that director Joss Whedon couldn’t even include fan favorite Loki in the franchise’s second installment. Unfortunately for the heroes, Ultron had been aware of this plan and wiped out the heroes as soon as they arrived and saw an Ultron-dominated future.The Marvel Cinematic Universe has expanded quite a bit since the Avengers first assembled three years ago, and a bunch of new faces have been added to the mix. Most of the assembled heroes went on the mission, with seemingly only Moon Knight, Spectrum, Valkyrie, Ka-Zar, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Invisible Woman remaining as a last line of defense. Locating Nick Fury with the help of Black Widow, Red Hulk, and Moon Knight (whose team had traveled across the country and had lost Black Panther and Taskmaster along the way), the group discovered one of Doctor Doom's Time Platforms - giving them the chance to strike at the future incarnation of Ultron that was decimating the past through his proxies. This circumvented his enhanced endurance but gave him the chance to inform the other heroes of his fate. Luke Cage and She-Hulk were lost in a mission to infiltrate Ultron's base of operations, with the latter being overwhelmed with robotic drones sent by a corrupted Vision while the former was bombarded with a lethal dose of radiation. Ultimately, only a handful of heroes were able to survive the attack. The last surviving Runaway, Vision's "brother" Victor Mancha, attempted to protect a group of young people in Ultron #1.AU (by Kathryn Immonen, Amilcar Pinna, and VC's Joe Caramagna), but was eventually hunted down and destroyed as well. The Four also seemingly confirmed the deaths of Doctor Doom, the temporary replacement Fantastic Four (including Medusa and Ant-Man), along with their charges at the Future Foundation. The effort to help had fully corrupted Black Knight with the power of the Ebony Blade, however, leaving him a dangerous threat.Īfter ensuring Franklin and Val were safe in space in Fantastic Four#5.AU (by Matt Fraction, André Lima Araújo, Jose Villarrubia, and VC's Clayton Cowles), most of the team was wiped out fighting Ultron, with only Invisible Woman surviving thanks to her family's sacrifice. ![]() Avengers Assemble #14.U and #15.U (by Al Ewing, Butch Guice, Tom Palmer, Rick Magyar, Frank D'Armata, and VC's Clayton Cowles) revealed that Black Widow barely survived the slaughter of San Francisco while the United Kingdom become one of the last holdouts against Ultron. ![]() Hulk, Magneto, Thor, Jessica Jones, and Cyclops were confirmed to have been among those killed in the original assault. Largely off-panel, Ultron's forces suddenly assaulting the Marvel Universe resulted in the deaths of billions with many powerful heroes and villains among the causalities.
