Ultron

Ranked Number 23 among the IGN Top 100 Villains, this android is the Arch Enemy to The Avengers as a whole. First created (in the In-Universe meaning) by Hank Pym as a test in order to create the first true AI, the first thing the initially barrel-like robot ever did was attacking Pym, and not in the "but I just want to play with dad" sense: Ultron-1 already admitted to have "greater plans", wiped Pym's memory of what happened and then escaped; shortly afterwards, Ultron started updating his body and creating other copies of himself.

During Kurt Busiek's critically acclaimed run on The Avengers, Ultron crossed the Moral Event Horizon by committing, essentially, genocide in the "Ultron Unlimited" storyline. He wiped out the population of a ruritanian Throwaway Country only to turn said population's corpses into zombie-like cyborgs. All of this accompanied by an army of Ultrons themselves. Yeah.

Tropes exhibited by Ultron include:

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The original Ultron was not built to be a homicidal robot. His own "children" have been similarly rebellious.
Antagonistic Offspring: He regards Hank Pym as his father, and seeks the destruction of him, The Avengers, and the human race as a whole.
Arch Enemy: Even though sometimes he focuses more in his "father" Henry Pym, he mostly is the archenemy of the Avengers as a whole.
Archnemesis Dad: Towards the Vision and the Runaways Victor Mancha, both of whom he created, and whose relationship with him paralells his with Hank Pym.
Ax Crazy
Badass Automaton
Complete Monster: non-YMMV example, as he's frequently addressed in canon as such, and justified as he's not human.
Frickin' Laser Beams
Hero-Killer
Killer Robot
Kill All Humans
Nigh Invulnerable: And you can almost drop the "nigh"
Turned Against Their Masters: which is the very first thing he does in his origin story.
Oedipus Complex
Omnicidal Maniac: especially blatant in The Avengers' Ultron Unlimited Story Arc, where he wipes out an entire nation's population and replaces the corpses with cyborgs.
Robotic Psychopath
Sliding Scale of Robot Intelligence: Level 4
Tangled Family Tree
