An Unlikely Match-Up: Agent Smith vs. Ultron This week, our Unlikely Match-Up was suggested by fan Todd Sudbrink. We're pitting Agent Smith from The Matrix against Marvel's Ultron! Which of these humanity-hating artificial intelligences will win the fight? Agent Smith is relentless, stern, and single-minded in his intent to maintain the Matrix and eliminate all threats to the status quo, thinking of humanity itself as a virus. Able to make infinite copies of himself and warp the very perception of reality, Agent Smith is powerful indeed, fast enough to dodge bullets and strong enough to punch through concrete. But how will he manage against Marvel's metal menace? In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ultron was created by Tony Stark to protect Earth from danger, but this AI went rogue and decided humans were the real threat. With a vibranium body and the power of the Mind Stone, Ultron has superhuman strength, durability, anti-gravity abilities, and unprecedented control over technology, able to transfer his consciousness into all kinds of computer systems. Both far beyond human capabilities and with a vendetta against the species itself, it's hard to say which of these pop culture villains will prevail. You decide! Vote here.
