Although his time there was brief, Vision made a great impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Vision is one of the most powerful heroes in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. With a body made of vibranium and powered by an Infinity Stone, he is a force to be reckoned with, and has a range of powers from flight, to near-invulnerability, to the ability to shoot beams of energy and make himself intangible.

Despite his immense strength, Vision is often out-of-focus, being given small roles to play in most of the films in which he appears. Nonetheless, between the three movies he's been a part of, and WandaVision, he achieves several great things, some of which are vital to the heroes' success.

Despite her more recent actions, there's no denying that Wanda Maximoff has done plenty of good in the MCU and that things would be much worse without her contributions like taking on Thanos. Despite this, she comes very close to death in her introductory film, almost perishing with Sokovia in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Choosing vengeance on Ultron over being evacuated, Wanda tracks his main body down even as another drone prepares to drop Sokovia, killing him painfully. Wanda looks set to perish as Sokovia topples, but Vision flies to her and saves her seconds before Thor destroys the city, allowing her to grow into a powerful superhero.

Throughout Avengers: Infinity War, Corvus Glaive acts as something of a nemesis to Vision, specifically hunting him down to remove the Mind Stone from his head. Strong, tough, and with a weapon capable of countering Vision's powers, Corvus is a distinct threat to Vision. During the Battle of Wakanda, he ambushes him, forcing Captain America to intervene to save Vision's life.

Despite his skills, Steve is outmatched against the child of Thanos, and he tells Vision to run while he slows Corvus Glaive down. Instead, Vision picks up Glaive's weapon and runs him through, ending a powerful foe and saving Captain America's life in the process.

Vision's creation and birth are a significant plotline in Age of Ultron. Vision is brought into existence by Ultron and subsequently given new life by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. Due to his origins, none of the Avengers can trust him despite him claiming to be on the side of life, leaving fractures with him and even between each other that look set to doom them against Ultron.

Vision proves himself most casually and accidentally, by handing Mjolnir to Thor. Being able to lift the hammer, despite some debates later in the film, is a sign of his worthy and good nature, and it's this which allows the Avengers to form a team and put a stop to Ultron's genocidal plan.

Vision is a major character in Infinity War because he is partially made of the Mind Stone, meaning that Thanos wants to kill him to obtain it. Throughout the film, Vision is insistent on sacrificing himself so Thanos can be thwarted, but other characters consistently talk him down from this.

When Thanos arrives in Wakanda and Vision remains joined to the Stone, he urges Wanda to kill him. She does so reluctantly, which seems to halt Thanos' plan to wipe out half the universe. Tragically, the sacrifice is undone, but it's notably the only thing the Earthbound Avengers do that even momentarily slows him down.

One of Vision's defining traits as a hero isn't his immense power, but instead his vast amounts of compassion, even if he doesn't entirely understand other people. In the 'Previously On...' episode of WandaVision, a flashback shows Wanda grieving Pietro by herself in the Avengers Compound, blankly watching sitcoms.

Despite his lack of experience with people or grief, Vision offers to talk to Wanda about it. After a false start, he manages to hit a note with Wanda by saying "What is grief, if not love persevering?" This conversation is the only thing that manages to console her and help her begin any sort of recovery.

Had Ultron uploaded himself into Vision's body, the Avengers would have stood no chance of stopping him. Nonetheless, his final 'Prime' body, separate from his horde of drones, is a powerful threat. It's able to fight Thor and Vision individually, and is difficult to get away from the Vibranium key as the Avengers defend it.

This form poses a lethal threat to any of the Avengers. As such, damaging it is a crucial part of their victory, and one to which Vision is essential. Working alongside Iron Man and Thor, Vision fires a blast at the body and heavily damages it, leaving it vulnerable to being knocked away by the Hulk and putting Ultron on the defensive.

One of the earliest action scenes in Infinity War sees Wanda and Vision ambushed by Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight in Edinburgh. Corvus hits Vision with an unexpected attack and grievously wounds him, leaving the two to fight for their lives. Wanda does the bulk of the fighting, being uninjured, but the two rely on each other.

At several points, Vision earns Wanda breathing room by attacking Glaive, and the two trade blows despite Vision's incapacity. Had Vision not been able to contribute, he and Wanda likely would've been overpowered, and Thanos would have gotten another Infinity Stone sooner.

The finale of WandaVision sees three main threats to Wanda and Vision's family: Agatha Harkness, the SWORD soldiers, and the reactivated 'White' form of Vision with orders to kill them all. The SWORD soldiers are dealt with by Monica, Billy, and Tommy; whilst Wanda battles Agatha, leaving Vision to fight his alternate self.

The two are evenly matched, and neither can stop the other. In response, Vision begins to talk to White Vision about the nature of their identity, and which one is "real." Through philosophy and logic, he's able to convince the machine to call off his attack on himself and Wanda, resolving the situation in a relatively non-violent fashion and leaving hope for his return open in the future.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Sokovia, there is a single Ultron drone left alive. Vision, knowing that a single one could rebuild the army, flies off alone to confront it, letting the two talk face-to-face. Any of the Avengers could have killed it, being a weak robot form, but Vision does something none of them would do: show it compassion.

Vision proves his better nature by talking to the Ultron drone, sympathizing with its fear, and defending his decision to side with humanity over Ultron. Ultimately, he has to kill it to prevent an apocalyptic threat, but his unique way of handling the situation is a testament to Vision's heroism.
