What happens when the world's smartest superhero creates an artificial intelligence that immediately decides humanity should be wiped out? In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tony Stark creates Ultron, Wanda Maximoff unleashes Hulk on a major city, and the Avengers leave a trail of destruction stretching from Johannesburg to Sokovia. But who is actually responsible? A real defense attorney breaks down the legal liability behind Ultron's creation, Wanda's manipulation of Hulk, the Hulkbuster battle, and the catastrophic events that led to Sokovia nearly becoming an extinction-level event. Is Tony Stark ultimately to blame? Could Wanda be considered legally responsible for the Hulk rampage? Would Bruce Banner be liable for Hulk's actions? And could the Avengers themselves be sued for the destruction they leave behind? Doug Defends takes a look at the legal case behind one of the MCU's most controversial disasters.
