For a time, Hank Pym was bonded with his creation, Ultron, in an amalgamation of organic matter and robotic technology. "Ultron Pym" was inconsistent about the true nature of its identity. It claimed to be merely Ultron, having killed Hank Pym and assimilated a copy of his personality and memories to use when convenient. It also claimed to be Hank Pym, driven to madness and voluntarily working with Ultron as a co-dependent mind. They finally separated back to normal following Ant-Man (3rd series) #4 and before Avengers, Inc. #1.
