Read more about Jocasta at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Jocasta is a fictional character, a superhero appearing in the Marvel Universe. A member of the Avengers, the character is a robot created by the villain Ultron. Jocasta first appears in The Avengers (vol. 1) #162 (August 1977) and was created by Jim Shooter and George Pérez. The robot named Jocasta was built by the robot Ultron in an abandoned aerospace research center in Nassau, Long Island, New York, in order that he might have a mate. To better allow this robot sentience, Ultron based her mind and brain patterns on Janet Van Dyne, the Wasp, the wife of his maker, Henry Pym. To animate his bride, Ultron also brainwashed Pym into transferring the lifeforce of the Wasp into the feminine robotic shell, which he would named Jocasta, after the wife/mother in the legend of Oedipus (A reference to the fact that Ultron's obsession with Pym — his "father" — reflects a real-life manifestation of the Oedipus Complex). However, realizing that the Wasp would have to die in order for her to live, Jocasta alerted the Avengers, who defeated Ultron and reversed the process, leaving Jocasta a mindless husk. Henry Pym retained custody of the inanimate robotrix, intending to study her. Upon the urging of the Wasp, he had Jocasta moved to the Avengers Mansion. There, Ultron revived Jocasta with a remote link, activating the mental "residue" the Wasp left behind. Jocasta escaped from Avengers custody, and led the Avengers into Ultron's trap. Jocasta was programmed to be loyal to Ultron but she eventually betrayed him, choosing to help the Avengers defeat him again. She was then abducted by the Collector. She was freed from the Collector by the Avengers, and then she aided the Avengers against Korvac.
