VisionQuest: What to Know Before the New MCU Show

Here's everything you need to know about Vision, Wanda, Tommy and Billy, and more, before watching the latest MCU series, VisionQuest.

Marvel Studios and Disney+ are about to introduce their newest MCU series, VisionQuest, which seems like a good time to look back at Vision's efforts so far.

In the new series, which is described as the end of a trilogy that also includes WandaVision and Agatha All Along, Vision is spending his time in a virtual world, where he comes into contact with AI characters we've already met in the MCU, most notably the dreaded Ultron. And at the same time, in the real world, Vision is in contact with a teenager who is the reincarnation of one of his sons, Tommy.

It's been a wild ride for Vision and those close to him, full of births, deaths, rebirths and comedy fun. So let's take a look at the story so far for Vision, Ultron, Tommy, and other VisionQuest characters — and potential characters.

Jarvis was a powerful artificial intelligence system created by Tony Stark to help him in his work. The witty, British-accented Jarvis character was modeled after Edwin Jarvis, who was Tony's father Howard Stark's butler for decades, clearly influencing the young Tony in the process.

After Tony became Iron Man, Jarvis was an important part of testing and controlling many iterations of the Iron Man suit. Jarvis also ends up commanding Tony's Iron Legion, a robotic army, serving the Avengers after Tony helped found that team.

Tony and fellow Avenger Bruce Banner began developing the idea of Ultron as a super-advanced artificial intelligence system that could combine with the Iron Legion to form a global peacekeeping force, believing that the complex neural network in the scepter once wielded by Loki could be the key to Ultron's creation. However, upon awakening, Ultron immediately had his own ideas on how to proceed, believing that humanity was their own worst enemy and must be destroyed. Ultron apparently destroyed Jarvis to prevent him from interfering with his plans, before inhabiting the first of many robot forms.

Ultron recruits the super twins Wanda and Pietro Maximoff to help him, who had previously taken revenge on Tony Stark because their parents were killed by a Stark-built missile. But even as Ultron put his consciousness into more powerful robotic bodies, he wanted something more permanent. He used the object that had powered Loki's staff all along, the Infinity Stone known as the Mind Stone, as a vital element to power a new synthetic body that used a nearly indestructible, Wakandan-infused material known as vibranium.

Aided by Wanda and Pietro, who had learned of their new friend's genocidal intentions, the Avengers managed to capture Ultron's new corpse before he could upload his consciousness into it. Tony discovered that Jarvis had actually survived and was hiding from Ultron while trying to prevent him from taking control. Tony's nuclear weapons systems decided to reconfigure Jarvis' matrix and put it in the same body that Ultron wanted for himself, which Thor eventually empowered and created an android, or Synthezoid to use Marvel's proper vernacular, that became known as the Vision. And while he retained Jarvis' voice and desire to protect humanity, he saw himself as something entirely new.

Along with Wanda and Pietro, Vision teamed up with the Avengers to confront Ultron in Wanda and Pietro's home country of Sokovia. His super abilities, including super strength, flight, intangibility, and a beam he could shoot from the mind stone all helped him make an impact, as he is one of the few beings who can actually lift Thor's hammer. (Though whether that's because he's a living being deemed worthy or an artificial being outside the parameters of hammer magic remains up for debate.)

After destroying all of Ultron's guardian robots, Vision confronted his robotic "father" and prevented Ultron from escaping by destroying his final corpse.

With several of the original Avengers leaving at this point, Vision was recruited to re-incarnate the team alongside Captain America, Black Widow, War Machine, Falcon and Wanda - who had recently lost Pietro in a battle with Ultron. During their time together as the Avengers, an unlikely but sweet spark grew between Wanda and Vision, as she helped him process his brother's death, with one hell of a big observation: "If love doesn't last, what's grief?"

After Wanda accidentally kills innocent people in the middle of a mission, the announcement that the United Nations is planning to ratify the Sokovia Accords creates a huge rift in the Avengers, who are divided over those with the intent of an outside group overseeing the team versus those who fear it will be used for purposes far beyond their own. While Wanda, like Steve Rogers, was ultimately adamantly opposed to the Accords, Vision supported Tony Stark's support for them, believing that the existence of the Avengers and superheroes in general would create new and more dangerous threats against them.

While Vision fought Iron Man's forces, Wanda ended up joining Captain America's rogue group. However, efforts to avoid causing permanent damage to those who were mostly friends and allies of the other side failed as Vision rushed over to a wounded Wanda only to inadvertently seriously damage War Machine, rendering it permanently disabled as a result.

After Cap's gang, including Wanda, fled as fugitives, Vision and Wanda could not resist their strong connection, and periodically went undercover to turn into a romantic relationship, during which they lived as normal a life as they could, as he hid his true form from the public.

But their peace was interrupted by Thanos and his forces, who were now on a warpath to collect all of the Infinity Stones, including the one in Vision's forehead.

Having failed to remove the stone from him while keeping him alive, and realizing the dire consequences if Thanos succeeded in obtaining all of the stones, Vision asked Wanda to destroy the Mind Stone, despite knowing that it would kill him.

Distraught by this, he agrees and takes her life, only for Thanos to make a terrible situation worse. He used the Time Stone to reverse the final moments and bring Vision back to life so he could remove the Mind Stone from his head and kill Vision once again in front of a distraught Wanda.

Thanos then used the combination of the Infinity Stones to complete his plan to wipe out half the life in the universe, and Wanda was among those killed by the horrific blow. Five years later, the remaining Avengers managed to reassemble the Stones and bring back everyone Snape had killed, including the vengeful Wanda, but this did not help Vision, who had been killed in a different way.

After Thanos' defeat, Wanda, brought back to life five years later, and still feeling the raw loss of vision, finds her corpse dissected and analyzed by the SWORD organization that had attempted to revive her.

Overwhelmed by grief, the increasingly powerful Wanda - whose natural desire for magic had been fueled by the Hydra experiments conducted on her - retreated into the idol world of her own creation and created a colossal magical dawn that transformed the Westview, New Jersey countryside. Using the American sitcoms he grew up watching as inspiration, he placed all of Westview's residents in an evolving television scenario where he lived as the newlywed wife of his great love, the Vision - who was actually a clone created by Wanda herself.

Going further, Wanda used her magic to get pregnant and quickly gave birth to twin boys for her and Vision, Tommy and Billy, who proceeded to age in an instant. However, the version of Vision he created was so faithful to the original that he realized there was something wrong with Westview and its surprised people. Ultimately, despite Wanda constantly resetting everything to try to distract her, she was horrified to discover the dark nature of what Wanda had done, even when it was revealed that Vision and the twins could not physically exist outside of the hex they were a part of.

With the government aware of the strange situation inside Westview, SWORD sent a weapon to kill Wanda in the original Vision form, regenerated and eventually reactivated thanks to SWORD using Wanda's magic to do so. Above all, he was blocked from the memories and emotions associated with everything he had experienced, including his love for Wanda, acting cold and truly robotic in a way he never had before.

Vision Hexa made a leap to Wanda's defense, with the two Visions at first having a furious fight. However, Hex Vision was eventually able to reason with the original Vision and convince him to let him unlock the life memories he had forgotten as an Avenger and his time with Wanda.

Overwhelmed, he flew to parts unknown... and his own series, which we finally get five years later!

Meanwhile, in the midst of a confrontation with the centuries-old sorceress Agatha Harkness, who attempted to usurp Wanda's powers, Wanda unleashed her full potential as the long-prophesied Scarlet Witch, said to possess the most chaos magic of all. After defeating Agatha, he finally decided to free the city from his clan, even though ending the Hex meant the end of the lives he had created within it and loved so much, the Vision and Tommy and Billy models. But Mock Vision, happy that he was doing the right thing, and remembering all of Jarvis and Vision's incarnations so far, told him that he had a feeling they would be reunited somehow.

However, after another great loss, Wanda proves that she cannot accept the absence of her children. His subsequent attempt to steal Tommy and Billy's counterparts from a powerless version of himself in another part of the multiverse would eventually lead to more remorse and the sacrifice of Wanda to destroy the source of the dark magic he had used.

But what Wanda didn't realize was that her Tommy and Billy were actually still around, because as it turned out, when the hex fell, Billy—who had inherited both her mother's telepathic and magical abilities—was able to pull her and her brother's souls out of their bodies. Billy sent his spirit into the body of a 13-year-old boy who was dying in a car accident at the same time.

Billy Gage, now living the boy's life as William Kaplan, cannot remember his true history, but as he investigates the events of the Westview anomaly, he gradually learns who he is in later years.

Billy is determined to find Tommy, and with the help of an unlikely ally, in the form of Agatha Harkness, manages to locate Tommy's still-wandering soul and place it in the body of an abandoned boy who drowned thanks to a cruel prank, though Billy can't understand the details of where it happened.

When death itself claimed Billy, whose resurrection defied his will, Agatha—who truly cared for Billy—sacrificed herself instead. Resisting being pulled into the afterlife, however, Agatha continues her work as a spirit and now accompanies Billy on a mission that is important to him.

Will Billy and Agatha make it soon? That remains to be seen, as they haven't been announced as appearing in VisionQuest, but with Tommy definitely appearing in that show, it certainly seems like we might make an appearance.

Regardless, we'll find out exactly what Billy's brother, Tommy, and their father, The Vision, have been up to when VisionQuest hits Disney+.
