Personally, I’m kind of hoping they deafen him (as I’m sure you know they did in the comics at some point). I’m biased, though, because I have a hard-of-hearing daughter.

Actually, Marvel likes to occasionally bring up Hawkeye as a deaf (or at least hard-of-hearing) superhero, but his wikipedia page claims this was “cured” a while ago. In my dream world they would drop the whole “got too close to a sonic arrow thing” and the movie version would just be like “Oh, yeah, I have hearing aids” like it’s no big thing.

I suppose as a move scene it needs a payoff, so maybe he thwarts some villains mind-control attempt by turning off his ability to hear them, or something. (Although depending how it’s done that could be pretty cheesy, I guess.)

Probably not going to happen, but I can dream.

> Just a quick note: in the comic book, when Ultron was introduced, he had Jarvis working for him, and at one point had Jarvis pretend to be Ultron. Granted, Jarvis was human, but…

Now I’m imagining how they’d have to adapt the Crimson Cowl reveal to work in the movie.

“Now Avengers… gaze on the visage of him who is truly the greatest villain of all!!”

“Um… it’s just a bunch of wires and computer chips.”

“That’s what Jarvis’s circuitry looks like!”

And then, when Ultron reveals himself:

“GASP! It’s … the robot! The real Crimson Cowl was the robot all along!”

“So we thought it was one computer program, but actually it was a different computer program?”

“Um… yeah. But the one computer program was controlling the other one.”

“GASP!”

Correct, it happened within a single issue. However, she sought him out as a scientist first, and then he revealed his secret identity and gave her powers. No reason that she can’t have sought him out as a scientist in the movie universe, and hook up with him as such and not yet be a super-hero when he creates Ultron.

Why am I hearing this in the voice of The Monarch?

Now get out. You’re banned from this historical society. You and your children, and your children’s children… for three months.
