===Ultron=== : is the first you have to think of, since you have the Vision. And Ultron is the Vision's 'father'. Keeping that would be a good thing, and give that player a more 'personal' enemy. Living steampunk robot, there is little need to change him further... but do make sure his guilt-ridden creator, Henrique Pym, is found by the group to give them some edge on their first fight against him, and sticks around as an NPC! Ultron should also create a Jocasta, which can be a possible love interest for the Vision... : This is the era that modern computational theory is put to practice, which makes me think of Ultron. Of course his mind would be little more than a series of punch cards -not exactly tyrannical robot material- but this is where it gets fun: punch cards were first put to use to automate loom patterns in the early 19th century. They revolutionized the textile industry and manufacturing in general. Who better to capitalize on the next generation of this technology than a family with vested interest in textiles and fashion? Enter heiress Lady Janette Van Dyne and her beleaguered, low born husband (gasp!) Henry Pym, chief engineer (and amateur inventor) for Van Dyne Industries. : Now, since the idea of a fighting loom is too wacky, the 'spirit' of Ultron could actually be reflected in the fabric patterns themselves. Strange, almost hypnotic patterns which occasionally appear in a bad batch, when a card slips or the entire stack in the wrong sequence. : A mind controlling fabric, patterns that somehow program the mind of the viewer on a powerful subliminal level. Ultron does have mental powers after all - and a plotline revolving around high society being 'urged' by their Van Dyne originals to commit crimes is worthy of an Alan Moore treatment methinks. What's more curious is what causes this malevolent intelligence to appear in the punch cards in the first place. Is it a demon, a ghost, a really odd happenstance or perhaps the 'dark' side of Mr. Pym's genius expressing itself? Your ghost in the machine either way.
