Marvel VS. DC: Vision VS. Red Tornado


The Vision and Red Tornado are each their respective publisher's resident android heroes, so what would happen if they fought? The characters themselves are very similar, in both personality and backstory, making this a very interesting idea...


The Vision is Marvel's android hero, who first appeared in Avengers #57, published in October of 1968. Vision was an robot created by the evil robot Ultron, and was originally intended to be a double agent within the ranks of the Avengers. The Vision rebelled against his programming, and became a hero, electing to fight alongside the Avengers as opposed to against them. The Vision has a vast array of powers, including the ability to control the density of himself and other objects, superhuman strength and reflexes, and the ability to interface with computers and other technology. These powers, combined with his highly advanced artificial intelligence, make him a powerful ally... Or opponent.

The Red Tornado is DC's robotic hero, who made his debut in Justice League of America #64, published in August of 1968. Red Tornado was an android created by the evil scientist T.O. Morrow. Morrow intended to use the robot to infiltrate the heroic Justice League of America, but his plot was foiled when an alien force known as the Tornado Champion entered the android's body, giving it the ability to make it's own choices. The robot then broke free of Morrow's control and joined the Justice League. Red Tornado's powers are mainly wind based, such as the ability to control and manipulate the winds, but he also can interface with technology, and repair himself if damaged in battle. He also has higher than average intelligence, making him a force to be reckoned with.

These two would probably never actually fight each other, because neither would see the other as a threat. Even if they did fight, the possibility of them even touching each other is unlikely. Vision's density powers and Tornado's wind controlling abilities can't really do much against each other, making this fight a stalemate.
