Avengers Poster #102 Issue 57 Homage Skrull Vision Marko Djurdjevic

Description

Skrull Vision…homage to Avengers #57, his first appearance. As I’ve said before, big time classic Vision fan, awesome to see a cover homage to his first appearance, Djurdjevic does a fairly straight homage, though there’s some obvious differences (besides the Skrull thing) it still looks pretty close to the original cover. I love homage covers, their almost always great, and this is no exception. I think these covers were designed to not only make you question WHO the skulls have replaced, but for how long it’s been going on. The robot Ultron is the creator of the Vision, a type of android he calls a “synthezoid”, for use against Ultron’s own creator, Dr. Henry Pym (Ant-Man/Giant Man/Goliath/Yellowjacket) and Pym’s wife, Janet van Dyne (the Wasp) of the superhero team the Avengers. Ultron sends his new servant to lead the Avengers into a trap. The Wasp is the first to encounter the synthezoid, and describes it as a “vision” while trying to escape. Adopting the name, the Vision is convinced by the Avengers to turn against Ultron. After learning how Ultron created him, using the brain patterns of then-deceased Simon Williams (Wonder Man), the Vision becomes a member of the team. The team initially believes the Vision’s body was created from that of the android original Human Torch. The Avengers later are told that the time lord Immortus used the power of the Forever Crystal to split the original Human Torch into two entities – one body remained the original Torch while Ultron rebuilt the other as the Vision. This was part of his plan to nurture a relationship for the Scarlet Witch that would prevent her from having any children, as her power level meant that any offspring she might have could threaten the cosmic beings of the Marvel Universe.
