Avenger Vizhen: biography of the character, the history of appearances in the franchise "Avengers"

Avenger Vizhen - the hero of the universe "Marvel". He is almost the only comic book character about the Avengers, who is not a human, but an android. Nevertheless, Vigen has become a full-fledged superhero and has not only special abilities, but also an entertaining biography.

Avenger Vizhen: biography of the character

Android Vigen first appeared in the release of comics The Avengers # 57, which was published in 1968. According to the plot, a clever robot collected super-villain Altron from the remains of another android, who was once a superhero. To Vizhen unquestioningly obeyed, Altron mounted special enthralling crystals.

Vegan was supposed to help Altron in the fight against the Avengers. However, the team of good superheroes managed to "convert" the android, and he helped his new friends defeat the villain Altron.

The Avenger Vigen continued to fight on the side of the organization "Shch.I.T." for a long time, until he decided to retire with his wife - the superheroine Scarlet Witch.

But the inquisitive mind of the android could not stand the long inactivity: Vizhen had an obsession to organize a "golden age" on the planet Earth. The destructive activity of the robot was stopped - for this it was necessary to completely dismantle its hull.

After Vigen has been reassembled and reprogrammed, the android has not been able to regain the ability to feel and experience emotions. On this marriage, the robot and the Scarlet Witch ended.

After some time, the smart robot was again destroyed: Vizhena was torn to pieces by the Hulk Woman. However, in comics, no one dies for long. The iron man integrated the android's mind into his suit, and then Vigen took possession of his armor and again became a superhero.

Android abilities

The Avenger Vigen is a robot that does not work on electrical energy, but on the solar. In the center of the forehead of the android is a special crystal that absorbs solar radiation and accumulates it in the body of Vigen. When you need to use this energy as a weapon, Vigen begins to emit infrared radiation from the same crystal.

With an effort of thought, he can make himself light enough to fly and pass through solid objects, or too hard to withstand enormous physical exertion.

But the most important advantage of a superhero is an unthinkable intellect, which several times exceeds the ordinary human. Vizhen can receive any information from information networks, since it has direct access to them.

Android does not need outside help, if you need to eliminate the breakdown. He is able to take care of himself and restore the system. Except in cases where the body of a superhero is completely destroyed, the physical vehicle of his intellect.

The fate of Vigen in alternative universes

When the classic version of the story bothers readers, comic book makers begin to come up with alternative universes with the same heroes. The comics about the Avengers also have several versions, and in each of them Vizhen is present in this or that role.

Avengers in the alternative universe The Last Avengers Story as a team cease to exist. But when a new threat appears on the horizon - Kang and Altron - the superheroes reassemble the robot Vigen. In the universe The Last Avengers Story Vizhen appears before the readers of a widower (his wife, the Scarlet Witch died) and the father of two sons.

In the version of the Mainframe comics, the android plays the role of the world's operating system and is part of the Galaxy Guard.

Vision in the film "The Avengers: The Age of Altron"

In the Hollywood blockbuster "Avengers: The Age of the Altron" Vizhen has a destiny similar to his biography from the classic version of comic books. The Android becomes the product of the Altron.

Vigen's body was created in order that Altron could later move his consciousness into him. But during the battle that broke out in Korea, the Avengers team manages to take away the future "ideal" body of the Altron and load the intellect Jarvis, the faithful assistant of the Avengers, there. After that, Vigen joins the team of the Avengers and fights desperately against Altron.

Vizhen in the blockbuster "The First Avenger: Confrontation"

In the film "The First Avenger: Confrontation" Vizhen again appears in the frame, but only as a secondary character.

The blockbuster plot is built around the confrontation between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. Vizhen, according to the story, was in the superhero team of Iron Man.

Actor Paul Bettany in 2008 took part in the creation of the film "Iron Man". Then he gave his voice to the artificial intelligence of Jarvis. Then he voiced Jarvis in all parts of the franchise, until the tape "Avengers: Era of Altron" appeared on the screens.
