Assault in the snowy forest

In the Eastern European country of Sokovia, the six Avengers storm Baron Strucker's Hydra fortress to recover Loki's scepter. The team now works together seamlessly.

The twins

In the fortress are twins given powers by Hydra's experiments: Pietro, who runs at incredible speed, and Wanda, who can get inside people's minds. Their parents were killed by a Stark weapon, and they hate Tony.

A suit of armor around the world

Tony discovers an artificial intelligence inside the scepter's gem and, with Bruce, rushes to complete Ultron, a program to protect the world automatically.

The party

At a party in the tower, the team takes turns trying to lift Thor's hammer. When Steve tries, it budges ever so slightly, and Thor looks worried for a moment.

Ultron appears

Ultron shows up in a battered robot body. He has decided the only way to save the world is to wipe out humanity. He destroys JARVIS and escapes into the internet.

Joining the twins

Ultron recruits the twins, who share his hatred of Tony, and gets the rare metal vibranium, stolen from Wakanda, from the arms dealer Ulysses Klaue.

Visions

The Avengers fight Ultron on a ship, but Wanda gets into their heads and shows each of them a nightmare. Natasha relives her training as an assassin.

Steve and the others battle Ultron on a speeding train and take the new body. The twins help protect people on the street.

Part 6: The floating city

A city in the sky

Ultron lifts a whole Sokovian city into the sky. He plans to drop it like a meteor and wipe out humanity.

Saving the people

The Avengers fight thousands of Ultron's robots while evacuating the city. Fury arrives with a Helicarrier to carry the people to safety.
