The Untold Truth Of Vision

Vision is a classic Marvel character, now known to millions as part of the MCU. From his humble roots in the comics to his unique story on screen, this is everything you don't know about the mysterious android.

Vision may be the most popular character with that name in the Marvel universe, but he wasn't the first to claim the moniker. Decades before the Vision you know first appeared, a totally different character named Vision appeared in 1940's Marvel Mystery Comics #13.

Also operating under the name Aarkus, this Vision is an alien who has teleportation and ice-based superpowers. He occasionally fights alongside superheroes like the Human Torch and Namor as part of the Invaders, an early Marvel superhero team. In the 1960s, a number of these classic Golden Age characters, including Captain America and Namor, came back into the spotlight. Vision, however, was not lucky enough to receive this treatment. Though comics writer Roy Writer initially wanted to revive Aarkus for the 1960s, company mandates forced him to create a new character for the name Vision to be applied to instead. Thus, the very first Vision in Marvel Comics history quickly faded into obscurity.

However, that doesn't mean this early Vision has been totally forgotten. Since the 1970s, Aarkus has managed to make a handful of appearances in the comics, including a 2013 X-Men: Legacy storyline. Most recently, he managed to become a playable character in the mobile video game Marvel Contest of Champions.
