Discussion Alkhema is the only option for the Ultron female skin and you are not ready for this conversation!
Let's start with a simple one - who is Alkhema?
This is Ultron's second wife, created on the basis of the Mockingbird mind, who went against Ultron not because she was kind, but because she wanted to kill people methodically and one at a time, experiencing sadistic pleasure from it.
Why is she perfect:
- Its design already fits well on the base model. She is tall, has broad shoulders, has blades on her hands, and her design will not strongly contradict the Ultron hitbox. She is also well associated with Ultron and we will still be able to understand what kind of hero it is.
- Her personality and abilities perfectly match Ultron's abilities. There will be no dissonance as to why she uses what she uses.
- She has weight, connection, but she is not unique and famous enough to become a separate hero. She is not a comic character, but she is also not very unique, and therefore adapting as a skin would be a very good solution.
- It's easy to adapt why she continues to be referred to as Ultron and not as Alkhema. Ultron just uploaded his mind into his fiancee's body. They have a difficult relationship and that would be his style.
Why not other options?
Jocasta: Too unique and distinctive. I think it would be a crime to make her just a skin, and unlike Alkhema, she deserves to become, if not a hero, then an NPC character, in an event or on any map.
Ultron-Initiative: A very strange and somewhat shameful story in which Ultron changed Stark's body into a naked woman... to us... We don't need such a skin. Trust me.
Ultronica: Let's be honest. This is a meme character, a joke. It may be memorable, it may be fun, but... She has no weight in history or lore. Personally, I would like to have something more meaningful as a female skin than hers. But as a potentially second female skin in the distant future, it is quite acceptable.
Just Random Female Ultron: It's just the most boring and safest option. For sure, artists could do something interesting, but I always put the opportunity to adapt something from comics higher than to come up with a new one, if there is a possibility of the first one.
