Marvel's Avengers Assemble

As men of metal go, this one is quite resilient.

He can teleport. I don't know, Tony.

Your cousin's making a convincing case for being number one metal head.

That's okay, Falcon, I called in a friend

to help make a counter argument.

The Vision.

Didn't expect to see you today.

I did not expect your call.

I've been monitoring global threats

from a super computer center in Norway.

But I'm happy to come to your assistance.

Iron Man, by what criteria do you designate me a friend?

Explanation of human emotions later, Vision.

I scanned Cobalt Man to see who we're dealing with

and it turns out he's all robot.

Making me the undisputed metal guy champ.

Now, let's box in wannabe me.

Plotting a complementary optic beam firing pattern.

Uh, yeah. Do that.

Close the box.

And he's out.

That teleporter's nice though.

So nice, I'm gonna hack it for myself.

Hulk's strength assessment was accurate.

A 424% increase in density was necessary to counter that blow.

Plus 100 strength is required to generate such force.

Low density and tangibility is a more practical option.

We'll geek out on science later, Vision.

I'm picking up a strange signature.

Might be Ultron's but I can't get a full reading

with Cobalt Man playing peek-a-boo.

When did you robots get so strong?

I am not a robot. I am a synthezoid.

A living being comprised of synthetic materials.

Heads up!

Not cool!

Friends don't let friends get lasered.

Oh, is that a rule of friendship?

I find the topic fascinating.

I'd very much like to experience friendship.

Hmm. Good luck with that.

Sorry to break up the greeting card,

but our metallic pal is joining the arms race.

And we're the finish line!

Navigation system override, Friday?

Not yet.

Then let's try manual override.

The higher this thing detonates, the better.

That should do it.

How we looking, guys?

Better get back if you want in on this fight.

This is pointless.

We can't send him to the scrap heap

until we make his vanishing act vanish.

I pinpointed the location of the teleportation device.

I've also devised an algorithm

to predict Cobalt Man's teleportation pattern.

Math attack. I love this guy.

Send me the specs. Vision and I will target the teleporter

while everyone else plays decoy.

Stay still!

Can't evade us forever, robot.

I knew you'd come to help us.

Just doing my job.

Watch out!

Well sighted. Just doing my job.

Lock and fire.

Teleporter deactivated.

Metal pile!

Phasing hand to power grid.

Power disabled.

Nice move.

Smells like Ultron.

He can move to a new body.

Yes, a logical deduction. I'm a likely host.

Please scan me.

Not getting anything.

Looks like you're clean.

I could have told you that.

Ultron has more personality.

Unbelievable. I mean, this teleporter.

Who knew quantumizers could be that small?

I did. This is my design. With some tweaks.

That's why I'm surprised I can't activate it.

I have tapped into the motion emulator though.

Nice, but can it dance?

No.

Threat neutralized.

I was working on that.

Four bounces minimum. Agreed, Black Widow, Hawkeye?

Come on, Cap, quit stalling.

Three, two, one.

Foul! You cheated!

By using a larger, slower object?

Twenty-four points of deflection.

Is that acceptable?

Game over.

Broccoli bash!

You got steamed.

Rematch! I choose cauliflower.

Vegetables are not conscious, let alone violent.

And why would friends enjoy simulated combat against each other?

Hey, if you're bad-mouthing Veggies of Valor, I'm getting a snack.

If you truly wish to understand friendship, Vision,

journey with me to the place

where I made my first friends, Asgard.

They have friendship in Asgard too?

We invented friendship.

Heimdall, portal!

All right. Let's veg out.

Hey, where'd they go?

True friendship is forged on the field of battle.

These are the pounders of Ulik,

Rock Troll of Nornheim.

They could level mountains in his hands.

When he tried to take Mjolnir,

even the constantly feuding Tyr and Balder

set aside their differences to fight with me

and seize the pounders in victory.

Ah, the Warlock's Eye.

My friends, the Warriors Three and I

fought together to prevent the traitor Harokin

from turning its power against Asgard.

The Destroyer Armor.

So immensely powerful, it has caused enough trouble

for countless friendships.

Vision, are you coming?

So, you guys building something, or... Hulk, no!

Oops.

You got more of those, right?

Solid-state holojector prototypes?

One. Across town at Stark Lab.

Okay. We'll hang out later, then.

Some of the greatest threats ever faced by Asgard are contained here.

I mentioned Ulik, the Rock Troll.

The Fenris Wolf.

My friend, the great warrior, Tyr,

sacrificed his hand to this beast

on behalf all Asgardians.

Fafnir the dragon captured my friend Volstagg.

A mistake I made certain was his undoing.

Has it really come to this, Thor?

You, a tour guide, and me, your star attraction?

I would rather you were free, brother Loki,

changed for the better.

Well, at least your taste in companions has improved.

You're clever to hide amongst the heroes, my friend.

They won't suspect until it's too late.

I do not understand.

Have we met?

Ulik! He's escaped!

I could've told you that containment field wouldn't hold.

This will be a fine lesson in friendship.

You will pay for caging me like an animal, Asgardians.

Anyone who steals freedom only to seek vengeance

deserves no better.

Attack on my signal.

Now, Vision!

A-ha! We share a decisive victory!

Do you feel the bond of battle?

I don't think so.

I do feel something.

Oh?

What is it?

I finally see something worthy of my power.

You spurn a new friend, Vision?

Have you lost your mind?

On the contrary.

You could say I've gained a mind.

Or, to be precise, a superior intelligence.
