Ultron-athon on DisneyXD



Last night, DisneyXD had their Marvel's Avengers Assemble Ultron-athon. As you might have guessed, it was all about Ultron. The story arc in the episodes featured the break-up of the Avengers, the inclusion of Spider-Man, and the return of Ant-Man.

If you missed the Ultron-athon last night, you can tune in on Sunday morning on DisneyXD to experience if for the first time or again!



The marathon included 4 episodes:

S2: Episode 40 "Crack in the System"
Ultron takes control of Arsenal and Iron Man works to destroy him with malware. But Stark is keeping secrets from his team, leading to the loss of an Avenger.

S2: Episode 41 "Avengers Disassembled"
Super-Adaptoid, now controlled by Ultron, attacks a tech company called Roxxon and the Avengers, with the help of Spider-Man, arrive to stop him. Starks secrets get in the way again, leading to distrust amongst the team, ultimately concluding with the break-up of the Avengers. 

S2: Episode 42 "Small Time Heroes"
AIM steals Pym particles from Ant-Man so that M.O.D.O.K can avoid his cybernetics being taken over by Ultron. Ant-Man lends a hand as Starks inability to lead a team becomes more apparent.

S2: Episode 43 "The Ultron Outbreak"
Ultron returns, but this time he is turning humans into Ultron Sentinels with a nano-virus. Iron Man's team and Captain America's team join forces with Ant-Man to stop Ultron before he infects the world. The Avengers Assemble once more . . . with a welcome addition.

It was great to see these four episodes back to back. It was especially nice to see Spider-Man and Ant-Man play larger roles, or at least laying the foundation of what looks like a lead-in to Civil War storylines. Even M.O.D.O.K had a nice return to the show. What was important about these episodes though was the disagreement between Captain America and Iron Man and the idea of heroes.
