History
In the aftermath of the Age of Ultron storyline, the computer virus that Hank Pym used to destroy Ultron has evolved into Dimitrios. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s A.I. Division Chief Monica Chang is sent to find a way to destroy Dimitrios after it started mounting cyber attacks against secure military and intelligence targets. Monica Chang enlists Henry Pym to help her stop Dimitrios and they form the Avengers A.I. consisting of a Doombot, Victor Mancha, and Vision.

During their first mission, the Avengers A.I. faced hijacked S.H.I.E.L.D. Drones which attacked a hospital in Atlanta. The Avengers A.I. managed to find the mysterious person the drones were looking for before they could find her. Alexis' memory banks have been locked and are now inaccessible to her as she has no memory prior to her discovery in the hospital. After Vision did a couple of scans he discovered that she does not fit the physical profile of a robot, cyborg, or android, she doesn't have the right energy signature to be a human and that she exists on several quantum layers. With the help of a Life Model Decoy named Joanie, Dimitrios takes over Iron Man's Safe Armor upon feeling sympathy for it based on how Tony Stark rejected it for becoming self-aware. In this new body, Dimitrios was able to send several attacks towards Henry Pym and the Avengers A.I. with one of them being the Kilgore Sentinel that Dimitrios had reprogrammed to cause as much havoc as possible. After the Kilgore Sentinel was destroyed by S.H.I.E.L.D. upon Vision reprogramming it, the Avengers A.I. discover that Dimitrios has two goals: to find Alexis and to destroy the human race. Vision explores Diamond, the home of Dimitrios and has to make a choice to help the humans or the Avengers A.I. Even though Vision wants to be with the Avengers A.I., he has to help the humans because the Avengers A.I. want to go to war. While investigating the physical location that hosts Diamond, Victor Mancha is damaged.
