Notes: 

Vision III was formed when Iron Lad uploaded a full copy of the synthezoid Vision's operating system into the neuro-kinetic armor he took from Kang. The armor came to life, running off of Vision's cerebral structuring but a personality derived from neural imprint of the wearer, Iron Lad. This is similar to how the earlier Vision was the body of the original Human Torch with the brain wave patterns of Wonder Man.

Vision III was seemingly killed in a spiteful attack by Iron Lad in Avengers: The Children's Crusade #9. However, Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic #5 showed that Iron Lad actually maintained Vision III's intelligence as an A.I. for his armor going forward.
