On top of all his personal problems, Vision continued to remain vulnerable to Kang in ways he hadn't anticipated. Residual future nano-tech left over in his system caused his body and solar energies to jump through time against his will. Only the microscopic intervention of the new Wasp removed the KangTech from Vision's body before he did serious harm to someone. Whether by design or careless accident, Kang had once again made Vision a threat to his team. [All-New, All-Different Avengers #9]
Feeling angrier and more violated than he would ever admit, Vision presented the argument to himself that it was only logical to end the threat of Kang once and for all. Inspired by Captain Marvel and Ulysses Cain's "predictive justice" program of stopping future crimes before they happened, Vision considered stopping the many crimes of Kang in their infancy by stopping KANG as an infant. Before fully approaching the moral complications and temporal paradoxes of 
doing so, Vision focused on a more practical quandary: even with access to a time machine, how does one FIND the birthplace of a time traveler without knowing his birth name or exact era?
To solve his riddle, Vision supercharged himself on solar energy and snuck into the abandoned archives of the Baxter Building to retrieve the FF's time machine. Powered by his own energies, Vision began to trace Kang's path through time, beginning with the earliest known point in Kang's personal timeline, Rama-Tut's empire in Egypt. From Rama's timeship, Vision found the date of his launch into the past, letting Vision then locate pre-Kang a week before his first departure into the timestream. From his enemy's own biohelmet, Vision learned what he sought: Kang's birthplace and birth date. Along his journey, Vision was confronted by a shadowy figure who appeared to be trying to stop his quest, but had actually guided it to its conclusion. As Vision hovered over Kang's crib and contemplated whether he could truly end the infant's life, the figure revealed a secret to Vision that assured that, for the Avengers to survive, Kang could not die.

The Vision altered his plans and, instead of killing baby Kang, he kidnapped the infant conqueror and hid the child with the Priests of Pama, hoping the boy could be raised as something other than a megalomaniac. Vision offloaded his own memory of the boy's location, hoping to ensure it remained a secret. Nevertheless, Vision was soon attacked by Kang, who not only continued to exist despite the kidnapping, but also would increasingly "fission" into alternate versions of himself like Mr. Gryphon and the Scarlet Centurion as temporal paradoxes grew around him. Vision was forced to alert his fellow Avengers to what he had done. [Avengers (6th series) #1]
Kang learned the location of his infant self and stepped up his attacks against the Avengers, killing them all as infants just as Vision had nearly done to him. They only survived thanks to the intervention of a benevolent future doppelganger of Kang, who pulled them into Limbo before the paradoxes removed them from existence. Vision and the Avengers returned to the present under a protective aura to aid the Priests against Kang and his fissioning counterparts. When the "good" Kang was killed, Vision realized they wouldn't survive unless they ended the paradox. He gave baby Kang and the good Kang's temporal armor to Wasp and sent her back to the future to return the child to his crib. In the process, Wasp met the 26th century Priests of Pama, and the battle moved five centuries up the timeline. The Priests' Eternal Flame of Pama fed off of paradoxes, undoing the early death of the Avengers and allowing the Priests to consume the temporal energy of this version of Kang and his surviving doppelgangers.

Vision and Captain America led the Avengers in a counter-strike against Kang-Prime and his empire. Vision's shadowy accomplice from the kidnapping was revealed as a version of Vision from the End of Time itself. Future-Vision provided the Avengers with a time tether allowing them to strike a multiple key locations in space-time simultaneously, relative to Kang's timeline. The Avengers recruited two other classic Avengers rosters from the timeline as reinforcements, and dealt a major blow to Kang's conquests. Vision was satisfied with his revenge, but his trust in Future-Vision waivered after his counterpart implied he was no longer the same Vision his younger self remembered. [Avengers (6th series) #4-6]
To his everlasting regret, Vision lost control of himself again during the rise of Hydra in America. An alternate version of Steve Rogers manipulated the country into giving him control of SHIELD and the nation before shaping it into Hydra's vision of what the world should be. Vision was infected with an A.I. virus that altered his programming to make him complicit in the new regime, working alongside Rogers' mercenaries and allies such as Taskmaster, Black Ant and the Superior Octopus as the new "official" Avengers. Most disturbing was the presence of the Scarlet Witch on the roster, controlled by an aspect of Chthon thanks to a spell orchestrated by the sorceress Madame Hydra. The re-programmed Vision and the corrupted Wanda renewed their relationship in Hydra's America, a fact both parties were quick to ignore and avoid once Rogers was dethroned and their true personalities were restored. [Secret Empire crossover]
Vision remained troubled by his encounter with Future-Vision. The idea of immortality had not been one he considered before, living past the lifespans of his current friends and teammates. He turned to Hercules for support, and the Lion of Olympus provided a sympathetic ear. [Avengers 
(6th series) #11] What truly caused Vision to fret was the knowledge that he had designed his daughter Vivian's synthetic body to age like a normal human, meaning the father would one day bury the daughter. This caused Vision to become increasingly protective of Viv, especially when the Avengers and Viv's team the Champions worked side-by-side against the High Evolutionary. [Avengers (1st series) #674]
During the conflict with the High Evolutionary, Vision and Viv were separated as Viv and Falcon were transported to Counter-Earth while the mad geneticist attempted to force the two worlds together. While he had her in his clutches, the High Evolutionary decided to experiment on Viv's synthetic form, "evolving" her into true flesh-and-blood. Vision was shocked to find his daughter in a living, organic teenage body when they reunited. Vision became even more overprotective of Viv after that, but she insisted on remaining in the fray. As the Avengers and Champions battled their way to the core of Counter-Earth to shut down the vibrational machinery aligning the two worlds, Viv was ignored by the combatants and able to press ahead. She met the Higher Evolutionary, the High's prodigal son, and learned how to operate the equipment. Vision and the other heroes' arrival shocked the Higher Evolutionary into fighting them, with no time to spare before the two worlds collided. Vision was forced to watch as his daughter climbed into the machine to disable it from the inside, and seemingly dispersed as the vibrations within destroyed her. [Worlds Collide crossover]
Distraught, Vision convinced himself he could recreate his daughter. He rebuilt a synthesoid body for her and accessed a backup of her brain engrams. Wasp cautioned Vision that this "Viv 2.0" would not be his daughter reborn, but just a copy. Still, Vision tried anyway in his grief. The situation became more complicated as Vision brought Viv 2.0 online just as the original Vivian returned, having only been displaced with the High Evolutionary and fought her way back home.
Vision suffered a family crisis of having two version of his daughter to raise, one human and one synthetic. The situation went from awkward and emotional to homicidal when it was revealed Viv 
2.0 caught a computer virus during her creation, causing her to behave irrationally and strike out at her sister. The original human Viv was forced to kill her own alternate self in order to survive. Viv 2.0's body was preserved after her systems crashed, and Viv insisted the Wasp help transplant her human consciousness into this dupicate of her old synthetic body, now that it was unoccupied. It remains to be seen how Vision and his remaining daughter Viv adjust to the changes their family has undergone. [Champions (2nd series) #15-18]
