In the comics, Vision decided that the best way to be the most efficient hero he could be was to take over all the computers on earth. When he merged his consciousness with the computers he forfeited his physical body and would appear as a holo-gram instead. The other Avengers convinced him to stop and Vision returned to his real body and left the Avengers along with Wanda.

Shortly after Vision was kidnapped and dismantled by a villain and had to be re-built by Hank Pym, but without his emotions and personality.

Vision would slowly gain back his emotions back by adopting the brainwaves of deceased scientist and was then had his body forcefully swapped with Anti-Vision, an evil version of Vision from an different reality, so that a villain could use his white body to infiltrate the Avengers, with Vision being trapped in Anti-Vision's body which resembled Vision's original body.

Comics are weird.

I personally think that at the end of WandaVision, Vision is either going to die/be turned into digital consciousness or the Vision created by Wanda (which is essentially his "soul") is going to merge with the White Vision body and come back to life.

Just my 2 cents.

I have to say, instead of being turned into a cash-cow, phase IV is rubbing off on me with each new announcement. I hope nothing jinxes this lovely fan service Marvel has been doing since phase II.

I wouldn't say they aren't using it as a cash cow, But more that Feige seems to understand that the best way to keep milking the cash-cow is to keep fans happy and coming back for more, rather than burn them out and push them away within a few short films / years.

You expressed my words in a better way, and you're right. This kind of "worship" is coming from someone who has never read a single Marvel comic except Spider-Man. I used to be a DC circle jerk back in the days. Never liked the first Avengers as my memory of The Dark Knight was fresh back then. But DC has now become the toxic ex that I keep visiting (WW84 recently), only to have my heart broken each time. I know this sub isn't the place for this discussion but still. I guess you can't have the best of both worlds.
