After being created by Hank Pym, Ultron consistently tried making his own robotic family, feeling rejected by Pym and the rest of the Avengers for, you know, trying to kill them all the time. ![]() Ultimately, while Ultron said his motivations were to eliminate mankind and replace them with machines, he really was something of a lost child.
