In Space

In the comic books, Ultron has been in space before. The Annihilation: Conquest arc saw him revealed as the leader of the techno-organic alien species known as the Phalanx – an arc which also saw him go up against the Guardians of the Galaxy, amongst other space-based heroes.

Could it be that, as a contingency, Ultron sent a drone away from Earth so that he could find other planets to inhabit in the event of his defeat?

Could it even be that Hulk inadvertently took him into space? Perhaps Ultron implanted his consciousness into the Quinjet that Hulk flew away in and – assuming Hulk went to space (which is by no means certain) – he could have unleashed the robotic villain into the cosmos without even knowing it.

One thing’s for sure – an Annihilation: Conquest movie would be cool. Seeing the Marvel Cinematic versions of Ultron and the Guardians of the Galaxy going at it (especially with the Phalanx in the mix) would be awesome. It was an arc in which Groot sacrificed himself and Rocket Raccoon took a cutting to regrow him – so perhaps the Guardians of the Galaxy movie was even foreshadowing it!

What do you think? Is Ultron gone for good? Could he come back in one of these ways? Which other ways might he return? Have your say below.
