Over the past few months, Janet Van Dyne, better known as the Wasp, has returned to action under the banner of Avengers Inc. in the hopes of uncovering the answers to one of Marvel’s most pulse-pounding mysteries. Following the murders of numerous classic supervillains and the return of one of them under a brand new moniker, Janet’s entire life has been embroiled in one single question – Who is Victor Shade? Now, the answer to that question has finally been revealed, and the painful truth lies in two of the most toxic characters to ever grace the Marvel Universe, not to mention their equally devastating returns.Following an unexpected visit from Charles Last, better known as the villainous Ringleader, the heroes of Avengers Inc. #4 (by Al Ewing, Leonard Kirk, Alex Sinclair, and VC’s Cory Petit) set out to chase down a new lead regarding the spate of supervillain murders and, more importantly, the rise of the enigmatic Victor Shade. While confronting Moon Knight over his possible role in a related killing doesn’t close the case as Janet had hoped, it does send her down a different path toward a decidedly different suspect. After examining the latest crime scene and comparing it to the victims she saw in The Raft, the only suspect who makes sense is both the first and last person Janet could possibly hope to see. As it turns out, the mastermind behind these crimes has been none other than the recently and secretly resurrected Hank Pym. Unfortunately, whatever heroic or heartwarming return Hank might have had otherwise has been dashed not just by the circumstances surrounding it, but by Ultron’s own shocking comeback as Victor Shade.Introduced in 1968’s Avengers #54 (by Roy Thomas, John Buscema, and George Tuska), Ultron’s origins lay in much simpler technology than what fans are accustomed to seeing today. The first Ultron was so low-tech that it was incapable of rebelling against its creator through physical means. Instead, Ultron hypnotized Hank and erased his memories of its creation before sequentially upgrading its automaton body to a genuinely terrifying degree. For decades after its debut, Ultron took on well over a dozen forms of its own, created the Vision in its own image, and even took control of the likes of Adam Warlock, all in a bid to attain ultimate power. These on-and-off battles would go on to become an almost indelible part of the Marvel Universe, with the villain rising once more every single time its most recent version was destroyed. At least, that was the case until Ultron took on a form that was just as human as it was mechanical.
