It is a fan's delight and a layman's nightmare; trying to figure out these characters and relating to them.

Showcased on a vast canvas, it is an epic tale of a secret mission going awry. The lengthy prologue reveals that the earth is purported to be under attack.
In order to safeguard the planet, Stark aka Iron Man, secretly creates, "the global peace keeping program to help Avengers to succeed" - a robotic 'Iron Legion' - Ultron.
