Ultron was built by the noted scientist Hank Pym in 2015.

Ultron was developed as part of his research into synthetic life-forms, building off of the research conducted by Nikolai Tesla and his original designs for Atomic Robo. This was accomplished at the direction of the Department of Defense, who wanted an autonomous weapons controller that could repel another Brood Invasion with a distributed intelligence.

Less than a dozen prototypes were developed before Ultron was constructed. Ultron was the most successful venture their work accomplished, being both autonomous and truly sentient. However, Hank Pym had modelled Ultron's Z-Point neural network on his own brain waves. Unaware of early onset psychosis, this resulted in Ultron rapidly degenerating into violent paranoia. It smashed out of a DoD research lab and attacked the US Strategic Command in Offutt Air Base.

Pym, Tony Stark, and several SHIELD agents attempted to intervene. They drove Ultron off, but not before it took remote control of a nuclear-armed bomber. Pym and Janet van Dyne managed to smuggle themselves onto the craft and got on the back of the missile. Janet was able to disable her suit's regulator and shrink small enough to enter the missle and disable it.

Ultron remained at large, reprogramming itself to adapt to new threats and find new definitions of survival at any cost. Ultron has thus far been unable to duplicate Pym's work, particularly as the inventor destroyed all the notes and research accomplished on the topic of synthetic intelligences. However, it propagates many cruder duplicates of its directives at any given time, and rarely is it seen in public except through servitor drones.
