Highlights
WandaVision introduced the concept of the MCU sitcom, with Scarlet Witch creating a fake reality to cope with Vision's death.
White Vision, developed by S.W.O.R.D., is devoid of compassion and has no recollection of his past connection with Wanda. His primary function is to eradicate her existence. During the fierce confrontation, Hex Vision successfully reinstates White Vision's memories. However, he suddenly departs, leaving his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe uncertain.
MCU's Phase 4 commenced with the premiere of WandaVision, a groundbreaking TV show that took a unique approach by presenting itself as the first MCU sitcom, rather than a traditional superhero action series. The story revolves around Scarlet Witch, who is grieving over the death of Vision, her partner, at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Endgame. Unlike other fallen heroes, Vision did not return after the snap. To cope with her loss, Wanda holds the residents of Westview Town hostage and constructs a fabricated reality where she and Vision have a blissful life together, complete with two children.
The fabricated Vision in this alternate reality possesses all the emotions and traits of the original Vision. Over time, however, he gradually realizes that he is merely a creation of Wanda's imagination and not the real Vision. When he attempts to escape the constructed reality, also known as the Hex, he discovers that it is impossible for him to do so. Nevertheless, he is not the only Vision to appear in the TV show, as a separate entity known as White Vision initially emerges as a seemingly antagonistic version of the Avenger.
Who Is White Vision?
After Vision's death, S.W.O.R.D. spent five years attempting to dismantle his body in order to exploit its valuable Vibranium composition, potentially worth billions of dollars. Initially, Wanda was wrongfully accused of stealing Vision's remains. However, it was later revealed that the Vision residing with Wanda in Westview was not the authentic Vision, as S.W.O.R.D. still retained possession of his body.
As a response to Wanda's control over Westview, S.W.O.R.D. employed the remaining pieces of Vision's original body to create a new iteration known as White Vision. To power White Vision, Wanda's residual magic was harnessed, which she had used to obliterate one of the infiltrating S.W.O.R.D. drones in the Hex. Unlike the original Vision, White Vision lacks any compassion for Wanda, possesses no recollection of their shared history, and is specifically engineered to eliminate her.
In the concluding episodes, the true identity of Wanda's friendly neighbor, Agnes, is unveiled. Agnes is actually Agatha Harkness, a formidable witch with powers comparable to Wanda's, who serves as the primary antagonist of the series. Agatha successfully captures Wanda and employs a spell that grants her exclusive access to magic, consequently depriving Wanda of her abilities. This sets the stage for a climactic showdown involving Wanda, Agatha Harkness, and White Vision, who are pitted against the Vision residing within the Hex.
Nevertheless, Wanda, despite her diminished powers, manages to regain control over the Hex and restricts the use of magic to herself alone. Additionally, she gains mastery over Agatha's mind. Concurrently, the Vision inside the Hex and White Vision engage in a fierce battle, as they come to distinct realizations about their existence and purpose.
What Happened To White Vision?
During their intense battle, Hex Vision successfully convinces White Vision that he is being manipulated by S.W.O.R.D. By restoring all of the original Vision's memories within White Vision, starting from his creation in Avengers: Age of Ultron up until his demise in Avengers: Infinity War, Hex Vision manages to change White Vision's eye colors back to the original Vision's blue-colored eyes. Overwhelmed and confused by the sudden influx of past memories, White Vision abruptly departs from Westview, and his current whereabouts in the MCU remain unknown.
After the battle, Wanda takes her family back home within the Hex and puts her children to sleep. She bids a final farewell to Hex Vision before ultimately dismantling the Hex, setting the residents of Westview free.
White Vision is not a revival of the original Vision from Avengers: Endgame. Instead, he is a separate entity who possesses the memories of the original Vision. Following his departure from Westview in WandaVision, White Vision has not appeared in the MCU. Speculations about his potential return in Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness proved to be unfounded, as he did not make an appearance in the film.
As Phase 5 of the MCU has already commenced, there is currently no official information regarding the fate of White Vision. Previous rumors indicated that there may be a Vision spin-off series in development for Disney+. In the comics, it took time for White Vision to regain his personality after being reconstructed by Hank Pym. Considering the significant amount of time that has transpired since viewers last encountered him, fans are eager to witness White Vision's resurgence on the big screen in the near future.
