What If…? episode 9 ended the Marvel series in spectacular fashion, with a high stakes showdown between an Infinity Stone-wielding Ultron, or Ultra-Visꦇion, and a brand new superhero team.

In the episode, The Watcher, despite his vow to never interfere, pulls heroes from across the multiverse to form the Guardians of the Multiverse and go up against the all-powerful Ultron. He grabs Captain Carter, Party Thor, Star-Lord T'Challa, Black Panther Killmonger, Doctor Strange Supreme, a version of Gamora, and Black Widow – the lone survivor of a previous showdo𓆏wn with Ultron.

The team are almost defeated, until Natasha gets hold of the USB containing Zola's consciousness from the previous episode. Her and Captain Carter manage to plugꩲ Zola into Ultron, and Zola promptly takes control of the mechanical body. 

Killmonger, meanwhile, is lured by the Infinity Stones and Ultron's armor, and tells the team using the Stones is how they can fix their respective universes.
