A comment about Vision’s origin in Avengers: Infinity War makes Bruce Banner essential to White Vision’s story in his upcoming Disney+ show.
A key exchange in Avengers: Infinity War makes Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner essential to Marvel’s Vision Quest show. Reportedly, Paul Bettany’s Android Avenger will be one of several existing MCU superheroes to get their own Disney+ series over the next few years. Presumably, it’ll be a part of Marvel’s plans for the Multiverse Saga.
The character met his end at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, but the rise of White Vision in WandaVision presents Marvel with an opportunity to keep his story alive in Phase 5 and beyond. Having regained his memories in the series finale, White Vision flew away to parts unknown. Exactly what he’s been up to since then hasn’t been clear, but Marvel’s apparent intention to revisit the character with Vision Quest provides a few hints at what’s in store for the snythezoid. In the comic book version of the story of the same name, White Vision – having recently been revived without his emotions – went on a journey of self-discovery.
Why White Vision’s Story Should Lead To A Bruce Banner Appearance
Since the MCU’s White Vision has found himself in the same situation, it stands to reason that Disney+’s Vision Quest will abide by the same premise. If that’s true, there’s a good chance White Vision will come looking for Bruce Banner. In Avengers: Infinity War, Banner said to Vision, “Your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays. J.A.R.V.I.S., Ultron, Tony, me, the Stone. All of them mixed together.” It would seem that Banner attributes his own importance to Vision’s identity to the role he played in helping Iron Man upload J.A.R.V.I.S. into the synthezoid body.
If Banner truly is a part of Vision in some way, then it would make perfect sense for White Vision to seek him out. Out of all the things that make up the “complex construct of overlays” in Vision’s mind, Mark Ruffalo’s Smart Hulk is the only one left that’s still around. The Mind Stone was destroyed, Iron Man is dead, and Ultron was removed from the board several years ago. And since White Vision’s memories were restored, he should be well aware of Banner’s involvement in his origin. If Vision intends to develop a thorough understanding of who he really is, talking to Banner would be a logical next step for him in his MCU story.
Can Bruce Banner Help White Vision?
Meeting Banner could be an illuminating encounter for White Vision, who’s currently a long way away from becoming the Avenger that his predecessor was. Not only can Banner offer perspective into the scientific side of the matter, but he’s also one of the few people who may be able to connect to Paul Bettany’s character on a personal level. After all, Banner is a fellow Avenger, and there aren’t many of them still available for White Vision to find. Through him, White Vision may be able to understand why the original Vision became an Avenger and exactly what that meant to him.
