Well, of course in the comics it was originally Hank Pym who created Ultron. In the MCU they made it Tony Stark, which made sense given the characters they had available at the time. It also fits in with the essence of Tony Stark as a character, which they distilled. The Tony Stark from the comics was an alcoholic, and the MCU version is one also although they took more of a "show, don't tell" angle of that. Then that's combined with his arrogance. The arrogance is earned to some degree due to his super-intelligence, but he has the flaw where he's so used to being the smartest person in the room that he has trouble recognizing when he's wrong (not that any of us here on Slashdot would be familiar with that one). The result is the sort of alcoholic who, every time they get back on the wagon needs to lecture to everyone about how they shouldn't drink (until they inevitably fall back off the wagon and won't listen to anybody). vimeo
