WandaVision made it clear from the start that something strange was going on in Westview, especially after The Vision had been resurrected following his definitive death at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. We'd later learn that this Vision was formed of Chaos Magic and the piece of the Mind Stone that resides within Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch.

As for the "real" Vision, he'd been taken apart by S.W.O.R.D. before being repurposed as a weapon. Thankfully, he regained his memories, but the White Vision has been M.I.A. ever since.

While time will tell what Marvel Studios has planned for the android, concept artist Phil Saunders has revealed some horrifying designs for that memorable autopsy scene. "I was looking to humanize him as much as possible," he explains in the Instagram post below, "so tried to create an analog to a traditional autopsy, with bionic organs that mimicked human anatomy."

"This one was a little more dehumanizing," Saunders says of the second piece of artwork. "I imagined if they were dissecting him to see how he worked, they might try to keep each component relative to each other in a sort of 'exploded view' using rods to keep the layers suspended. I thought it felt really cool and robotic, but the show runners wanted something even more alienating."

This sequence paid homage to a memorable comic book moment in the pages of West Coast Avengers, and it's that series we can look to for context on where The Vision's story could be heading. Rumour has it Armor Wars is where the hero will return, though there's every chance he could be part of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness given the Scarlet Witch's role in the sequel.

@BlackBeltJones - I know how bad ass he was in Age Of Ultron and Civil War but a pussy in Infinity War.

Jacory - 3/14/2022, 8:43 PM

eGGtheGreat - 3/14/2022, 1:23 PM

CyberBishop - 3/14/2022, 2:10 PM

@eGGtheGreat - LOok at the author of this article and that should explain it all.

dragon316 - 3/14/2022, 3:22 PM

@CyberBishop - by not seeing this in show is reason author of article is reporting it nothing more it’s more on Disney than anyone

PeterDarker121 - 3/14/2022, 1:29 PM

Am I missing something? I don't see where it was said that the alternate versions were "too dark" to have been shown

Razorface1 - 3/14/2022, 3:28 PM

@PeterDarker121 - They aren't, Wilding just needs to attract them clicks.

I liked what we got. It was honestly kinda knarly when they took his arm or leg apart and kind of just pulled it apart right in front of us.

JFerguson - 3/14/2022, 2:01 PM

The motor oil leaking out is a little much. But props to the digital artist who put all his time in this

CyberBishop - 3/14/2022, 2:10 PM

Horrifying?? No.. Thx for the clickbait article.

Origame - 3/14/2022, 2:17 PM

It's even more horrifying than the time I removed the battery from my laptop.

dragon316 - 3/14/2022, 3:23 PM

Disney need some dark elements stop making good violent characters pg13 make them r rated

AnthonyVonGeek - 3/14/2022, 4:27 PM

Why would a robot being taken apart be horrifying?

@slickrickdesigns - I miss the days of the crazy Mephisto days. We fans sure like to get ahead of ourselves.

Maybe with Moon Knight we'll get our chance again?

SpaceAgent - 3/15/2022, 3:31 AM

@slickrickdesigns - Haven't used this one in a while:

slickrickdesigns - 3/15/2022, 8:19 AM

@bkmeijer - MoonKnight will definitely have Mephisto.

Lokiwasright - 3/14/2022, 6:28 PM

Scarlett witch and vision having sex.

bkmeijer2 - 3/14/2022, 7:05 PM

The second one with all the wires looking like muscles is kinda cool.

That said, I still wonder where White Vision is hanging out. Hope he hasn't discovered e-book versions of philosophical works yet.

Chewtoy - 3/15/2022, 7:11 AM

The Vision was originally supposed to be like Bishop and such in Aliens and more synthetic flesh and bone and not robotic inside. But artists got lazy.
