History: After suffering a defeat at the hands of his “father,” Hank Pym, and the West Coast Avengers, the head of an Ultron model sat waiting at the top of a pile of garbage in an LA dump. Finally, after years of sitting there, Ultron was able to beg for help from a young woman named Marianella Mancha who was stealing from the dump. Believing Ultron to be a prophet, Marianella agreed to help him reconstruct his body in exchange for Ultron’s help in creating the one thing she wanted most in the world: a child. After his body was rebuilt, Ultron used his own technology in conjunction with Marianella’s DNA to create a cybernetic/human hybrid that would become Marianella’s son, Victor. Ultron programmed false memories into Victor’s mind to make the boy think he’d lead a full life. Unbeknownst to Marianella, however, Ultron also programmed into Victor a great interest in superheroes that would push the boy to visit New York on his 21st birthday and exhibit his latent super abilities upon his first meeting with a super-human. Ultron did this in hopes that his son would be accepted into The Avengers and one day betray them by destroying the legendary heroes. However, after being visited by a future version of one of their teammates and warned of the threat Victor poses, the Runaways were forced to confront Victor a prematurely activate his super powers. Now, in the company of the Runaways, Victor could become a valued team member and hero, or he could fulfill the destiny his father gave him and become the treacherous Victorious!
