Here’s what’s different about the rebooted Vision in VisionQuest:
How Vision has changed
-
Vision has been rebuilt by S.W.O.R.D. as White Vision — a colorless synthezoid body with no memories or emotions. Later, the memories from the Vision created by Wanda are restored to this White Vision.
-
He’s now dealing with an identity crisis — even though he has the memories of the "original" Vision, he lacks emotional attachment to them. He doesn’t feel like who he was before.
-
To cope, Vision lives a double life:
- By day, he’s hiding among humans under the alias “Sherwood Ellis,” even working in a pub. - By night, he retreats into his Mindspace, a mental world inside his programming where AI personas (like Jarvis, F.R.I.D.A.Y., Edith, and even Ultron) manifest as avatars. He interacts with them to explore different facets of humanity.
-
Ultron is no longer just a villain trapped in memory — he plays a bigger role. He’s an embedded presence in Vision’s programming among his rescued AI personas, needing to be kept under strong control (“behind a firewall”). Vision must contend with Ultron as part of his internal and external conflicts.
-
Emotionally and philosophically, the rebooted Vision is more detached, colder, and more morally grey. He is grappling with what it means to be Vision when one inherits past memories and identity but without the emotional foundation.
The rebooted Vision in VisionQuest is not just a restored synthezoid—he's a being trying to bridge memory and emotion, to reassemble who he was rather than just what he experienced. Let me know if you’d like a comparison with previous versions!
