Avengers A.I. was an ongoing comic book series published by Marvel Comics that was released in July 2013, as part of Marvel NOW!. The series takes place after the events of Age of Ultron, where the world has been colonized by A.I.s "who may or may not have positive feelings about the way humanity has been treating them for the past 100 years." The series ended in April, 2014.
Marvel Comics announced Avengers A.I. by the creative team of Sam Humphries and Andre Lima Araujo in March 2013. Humphries has confirmed that Hank Pym and Vision will lead a team consisting of Victor Mancha, a Doombot and a debuting character, Alexis The Protector, with Monica Chang featured as a liaison to the team. It has been confirmed that the second arc will begin in issue 5 which explores the origin of Alexis.
In the aftermath of the Age of Ultron storyline, the computer virus that Hank Pym used to destroy Ultron has evolved into Dimitrios. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s A.I. Division Chief Monica Chang is sent to find a way to destroy Dimitrios after it started mounting cyber attacks against secure military and intelligence targets. Monica Chang enlists Henry Pym to help her stop Dimitrios and they form the Avengers A.I. consisting of a Doombot, Victor Mancha, and Vision. During their first mission, the Avengers A.I. faced hijacked S.H.I.E.L.D. Drones which attacked a hospital in Atlanta. The Avengers A.I. managed to find the mysterious person the drones were looking for before they could find her.
