I have read a number of the Avengers issues in which they faced Ultron, and he is quite an opponent. The ranking of 17 or 18 which you gave him seems a bit low, especially when you compare him with the others in the list who mostly rely on brute strength, like the Hulk, the Thing, the She-hulk and Wolverine.(To ward off any supernova strength flames to this login, let me just say that I don't mean to say that these four are sans intellect, although the Hulk is almost there) Keep in mind, though, that even Thor's hammer could not hurt Ultron, with that admantium (sp?) shell of his. I feel he deserves to be at least in the top 10, if not the top five on this list. Unfortunately, in the most recent appearance I've seen of him (in Secret Wars) he didn't do much but serve as a lackey to Doom, but we all know how true most of the characterizations in that series were/are being done. Incidentally, has anyone else noticed the Secret Wars(TM) Spiderman(TM) figure, outfitted with the old familiar red costume? It seems they hyped the costume a bit much otherwise for one that lasted only two or three months. Not that I care much - I always liked the original much better anyway...
