He's been a major Avengers villain for the past 45 years or so, and has among other things led the Masters of Evil, taken over Iron Man's armor, flattened the entire group at once, and just recently was the focal point of an alternate-future series called (you guessed it) "Age of Ultron". Best of all is that beyond being just a stock Bad Robot character, he also has all kinds of psychological aspects (a sort of Oedipus complex, for one) that makes him a rare character who is both interesting to follow, and thoroughly malicious.
