The MCU's Newest Iron Man Suit Upgrade Has Made Me So Concerned For 1 Upcoming Solo Hero Show

The MCU introduced the most powerful Iron Man suit of armor after Tony Stark's death, and that could be a bad omen for the upcoming Vision Quest series. Vision made a game-changing debut in Avengers: Age of Ultron, where he claimed the title of "Strongest Avenger" as he acquired Ultron's ultimate body and a combination of Ultron and JARVIS' consciousness. Since then, Vision's MCU appearances have depicted him as a much less powerful hero, and the original Vision died an apparently definitive death in Avengers: Infinity War.

Wanda Maximoff recreated Vision's consciousness in WandaVision, and this magical Vision seemed to transfer his memories to his old body before Wanda disintegrated her hex. Therefore, the original Vision may return with his original memories in the MCU's upcoming Vision Quest show. However, Vision may never be the same again. In fact, What If...? season 3 might have suggested that White Vision won't be as sentient as his original self when he comes back in Vision Quest.

White Vision's What If...? Return Essentially Made Him A Plot Device

Mysterio Controlled White Vision And Riri Williams Transformed Him Into A Suit Of Armor

In What If...? season 3 episode 5, Mysterio takes advantage of Tiamut's catastrophic Emergence on Earth to create his own empire, using Iron Man's technology to enforce his conquest. In this timeline, White Vision is Mysterio's mindless servant until Riri Williams fabricates a tool that breaks his body apart. Then, Riri transforms White Vision into a suit of armor, which she uses to defeat Mysterio. What If...? season 3 episode 5's White Vision is the most powerful MCU armor introduced so far, but he's nothing more than a weapon employed by the main villain and the main hero.

How SWORD dismantled Vision's nearly indestructible body in the MCU's main timeline is still unknown

WandaVision established White Vision as a reconstructed synthezoid body with no consciousness of its own. White Vision simply followed SWORD's rules like a machine, and not even Wanda's chaos magic could restore his old personality. It was only until Westview's false Vision transferred information into White Vision's mind in WandaVision's final battle that White Vision chose to escape Westview. While White Vision could slowly transform back into his old self, Vision Quest could easily follow in What If...?'s footsteps and turn him into a living weapon.

Vision's MCU History Makes It Hard To Imagine Him As The Sole Star Of His Own Series

Vision Has Never Led Any MCU Movie Or Show

Despite his great power and unique personality, Vision has never been a main star in any MCU movie or show. Vision played a key role in Ultron's defeat in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but he only joined the fight halfway through the movie. Vision had a very restrained role in Captain America: Civil War, where he abstained from aggravating the Avengers' conflict and from using his powers to harm any of his colleagues. Vision spent most of Avengers: Infinity War's runtime badly injured, and he spent most of WandaVision being psychologically manipulated by Wanda Maximoff.

The MCU's Vision has always been a supporting character, or a co-star at most. The Multiverse Saga has given solo projects to previously overlooked MCU characters. For example, Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff starred in Black Widow, Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury starred in Secret Invasion, and Tom Hiddleston's Loki starred in Loki season 1 and season 2. While Vision Quest is finally giving Vision his lead role, the fact that White Vision was created with no personality could pose a problem for the synthezoid. On the other hand, this flaw could be at the center of White Vision's search for purpose.

Vision's MCU History May Foreshadow What His Solo Show Will Really Be Like

Vision May Co-Star With Other Marvel Characters In Vision Quest

White Vision looks at the Young Avengers' Wiccan in Marvel Comics' The Children's Crusade

Vision Quest will center around White Vision, undeniably, but Paul Bettany's character could share the lead role with one or more characters. Hawkeye is Jeremy Renner's first installment as a lead character, but Renner's Clint Barton shared the lead role with Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop. The Marvels is Captain Marvel's direct sequel, but Brie Larson's Carol Danvers shared the screen with two other heroes, Teyona Parris' Monica Rambeau and Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan. Likewise, Vision Quest could follow White Vision alongside heroes like Joe Locke's Wiccan and other MCU heroes.

Considering that Billy and Tommy Maximoff reincarnated in Agatha All Along, Vision Quest could adapt part of Avengers: The Children's Crusade

Vision's transformation into White Vision by a shady organization is the main plot of Marvel Comics' Vision Quest storyline. So, while the MCU's Vision Quest could adapt some elements from its source material, the fact that WandaVision already adapted most of the original VisionQuestsuggests that Marvel will draw inspiration from elsewhere. Considering that Billy and Tommy Maximoff reincarnated in Agatha All Along, Vision Quest could adapt part of Avengers: The Children's Crusade and tell a story where White Vision reunites with his kids to search for Wanda Maximoff.
