19. Victor Mancha
(Runaways/The Vision, Marvel Comics)
Tom King and Gabriel Walta's The Vision is one of the best Marvel comics of the 21st century. It's short and to the point and haunting and beautiful. I LOVE it.
It gives a heartbreaking send-off to former Runaway Victor Mancha. Mancha was the offspring of the evil robot Ultron, and was destined to become an Avenger under the name Victorious, before he went crazy and killed them all. And Victor knew this was his destiny from the get-go. The kid joined up with the Runaways, and did his best to be a good person, hoping to avoid his evil fate. When The Vision began to act odd and built himself a family in Washington DC, The Avengers sent Mancha in to check up on and surveil the family, speculating that something bad was going on.
After greeting his "brother" The Vision, Mancha set up shop in the house across the street, where Vision's son Vin caught him. Mancha had been drugging himself with Vibranium for some time, and he lost control. He wound up accidentally killing the boy before The Avengers carted him away to prison. When Vision tracked his brother down, intending to murder him, his wife Virginia intervened and killed Victor first.
His last words? "I will not be Victorious."
