30 Fun Facts About The Avengers: Age Of Ultron Trailer

The Scene: Ultron Gets a Fresh Coat
In the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, we see Ultron coating his hand in some form of molten metal. Ultron’s desire and ability to upgrade himself with a new coating of indestructible armor is not solely the creation of the screenwriters. The inspiration came from one of the Ultrons in the comics.
From the Pages of Comics
Ultron is the first wielder of Adamanitum in the Marvel Comics universe. The original Ultron didn’t have an indestructible body until Avengers #66 – #68 (July 1969 – September 1969), where he uses Adamantium to upgrade his body to an almost indestructible state. However, even with Admantium, multiple characters have damaged Ultron. Johnny Storm was able to damage Ultron’s internal circuitry with his nova burst. Wonder Man was able to destroy Ultron by throwing it with immense force and damaging its internal systems. Scarlet Witch, who Ultron especially fears, is able to cause internal circuitry malfunctions with her hex powers.
