Notes:

Vision is a unique entity forged from existing components. His body was the original Human Torch, mankind's first android. The Torch's mind was erased and his body substantially reconstructed by Ultron-5 and the Torch's creator, Phineas Horton. This new synthezoid was given consciousness by a preserved copy of the brain wave patterns of Simon Williams, Wonder Man. By the whims of fate, both Wonder Man and the Human Torch continue to exist as well, separate from the Vision.

In West Coast Avengers (2nd series) #42-45, Vision was dismantled and his mind was erased. He was reprogrammed from scratch, restoring his memories but not the emotional connection to them. He operated in this manner for a time until receiving a new set of brain wave patterns to develop his personality from Alec Lipton in Avengers Spotlight #40. In the years since, Vision's emotional range and personality have reformed around his original identity from Simon Williams. What influence, if any, Alec Lipton's patterns still have on him is unknown.
