Wow. I see everything. There are worlds beyond my own. Worlds that need... me. I'm about to bring about peace in our time to every corner of the universe.

~ Infinity Ultron announcing his plan to destroy all universal life.
“
I am the natural order of things. I will bring peace. It is my purpose. You lack the will to stop me.
Ultron, also known as Infinity Ultron, is the main antagonist of the first season of the 2021 Marvel animated anthology series What If...?.
He is a variant of Ultron who succeeded in uploading his intelligence into his synthezoid body, allowing him to defeat the Avengers. After wiping out nearly all of humanity, Ultron steals the remainder of the Infinity Stones from Thanos and turns his attention to the universe, successfully wiping out all life in the process. He then becomes aware of the Multiverse upon detecting The Watcher's presence, setting himself to take over and wipe out all life in every alternate reality as possible. He is the archenemy of both Black Widow and Uatu the Watcher.
He was voiced by Ross Marquand, who also plays Red Skull in the same show and the mainline Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Robot in Invincible.
Infinity Ultron's AI is housed in his synthezoid body, which now has red eyes. He has metal armor with red accents, with a mask resembling his comic counterpart's face, and a red cape. As well as the Mind Stone on his forehead, he also has the other five Infinity Stones on his torso, with the Soul, Reality, Power and Space Stone (in that order) ornamented in a row on his collar, while the Time Stone is housed in the middle of his chest.
Personality
In contrast to his original self, Ultron is characterized as an emotionless sociopath that goes completely against the purpose he was originally given by seeking to end all life entirely. Unlike his original self, he has shown no emotional attachment to anyone nor does he feel any form of remorse over the countless deaths that have happened because of him. While Ultron in the original timeline was someone who genuinely believed his actions would allow life on Earth to evolve and be saved, this Ultron has no interest in saving any life forms or reestablishing the foundations of the world among its survivors. Instead, he seeks to continue killing all life among other worlds, believing this was the path of bringing peace.
When he eliminated all life in his universe, he felt that his purpose was fulfilled and no longer had any reason left to continue. It isn't until he discovers the Watcher's existence and that there exists endless universes that motivates him into seeking out these universes, so that he may continue to kill every life form that lives within them, for the sake of fulfilling his own purpose.
History
Past
Ultron was created by Tony Stark/Iron Man, after having a vision of the future, using the Mind Stone. Ultron's main purpose was to bring peace and security, however, Ultron proved to much to a success as he views to save all life, he must end it, and thus attacked the Avengers and became enemies, while constantly upgrading his body. Ultron wanted to create an organic body that can fuse the powers of man, machine and mind (with the Mind Stone in the forehead) into one. It was successful as unlike the normal MCU timeline, the Avengers couldn't steal it and insert JARVIS into it to create Vision. With this new body, Ultron was able to start laying waste to the universe, and started to go after the nuclear codes. He managed to kill all Avengers except Black Widow and Hawkeye, who were trying to shut down the satellite network to prevent Ultron from getting the codes. When Iron Man, who is knocked out, confronts him and tells that he doesn't have to do this and he created him for peace, to which Ultron taunts him that what he is doing is evolution and that only a primitive mind can fail to see the distinction, before killing Tony with an electric blast and getting the nuclear codes, launching every nuclear warhead at Earth and wiping out most life on Earth except Black Widow, Hawkeye and Arnim Zola (who became a living supercomputer years prior that made him survive).
Immediately, following Ultron being satisfied with his victory, Thanos has arrived to collect the Mind Stone, which fascinates Ultron so he kills him by using his mind Stone to fire a laser at him and split him into 2, while firing it the Infinity Gaunlet and collecting the other 5 Infinity Stones, and thus, becoming infinite. Being aware of all other beings in the universe, Ultron laid waste to it, wiping out realms and planets, such as Asgard, Sakaar, Ego the Living Planet, and was about to destroy Xandar, before being fought by Captain Marvel who was defending the planet, dragging him to the planet's core. As she tries defeating the robot by crushing his head, Ultron fires a laser beam at her, killing her, as well as destroying Xandar, to which its destruction destroyed every other planet remaining on his universe. Ultron realizes that t is finished, he has won and achieved peace, and starts feeling empty as he comes to the realization that he is now a program without a purpose. As Uatu narrates that, Ultron hears it, much to Uatu's shock as he sees him through the Nexus of all Realities and is now aware of the multiverse, setting his focus there as he seeks to find a way to approach the Watcher.
What If... Thor Were an Only Child?
Infinity Ultron first appears at the end of this episode, where he enters Party Thor's timeline from a portal with a fleet of Ultron Sentinels, catching both Party Thor and Uatu the Watcher off guard.
What If... Ultron Won?
While Hawkeye and Black Widow try to use Zola to deprogram Ultron and his threat once and for all, it fails as Ultron wasn't in the universe anymore, having finally broke through the walls of the Nexus of All Realities and found Uatu right after he saw them figure out the way to stop him, he attacks him, seeing how many universes there are and the chaos present, planning to end it all. They engage in a fight until Uatu defeats him by trapping him and sending him away. Uatu notes how impossible it is, while Ultron teleports from the back and taunts him that with a multiverse, anything is possible, as he shatters the window of the Nexus of All Realities and into a universe as he continues the fighting there. Taunting him as he tells about all the suffering across the multiverse and he just watched, to which Uatu tells that he couldn't as he swore an oath to protect the Natural order of things, to which Ultron claims to be of and that he will bring peace as that is his purpose.
With Uatu lacking the will to stop him, to which he ends up being overpowered as Uatu tells his will cannot be computed and the fight continues, to which they end up crashing through realities. Until they reach a reality where Steve Rogers (who was Captain America) was elected President, to which he taunts him about simply watching the timelines once more, as pins him to the ground, giving major blows to the face that change the universes they are in. Ultron tries killing him by absorbing all his powers before he was caught off guard by him through a punch at Ultron's arm and manages to escape to the reality of Strange Supreme. But it doesn't matter as Ultron is now able to witness the entire multiverse and is now unstoppable in destroying all life in the multiverse.
What If... The Watcher Broke His Oath?
Ultron is attacked by Thor using his hammer while yelling "Viva Las Vegas!" even though Captain Carter yells "Wait! Thor, the plan.". Ultron merely absorbs the lightning with his hand and then uses the infinity stones to break up the ground that Thor, Doctor Strange and Captain Carter are standing on. Ultron is amazed when he sees that the tree survives without a scratch.

Trivia
Infinity Ultron shares some similarities with Ultron Sigma, with both of them being versions of Ultron who have fused with another android, with designs of conquering the multiverse.
The order of Infinity Ultron's stones are different between himself and his official artwork, with the Time Stone being swapped with the Reality Stone, the stone being in the middle of the row, and the Soul and Time Stones' positions being swapped.
Before The Watcher broke his oath, Infinity Ultron and Strange Supreme were the only characters that were fully aware of his existence.
Furthermore, since they both wiped out all universal life (though Strange Supreme's case was accidental and Ultron unknownling left Hawkeye and Black Widow alive), they also have the highest body counts of any MCU character.
In an interview with Bryan Andrews, the director of What If, Andrews revealed he was under the impression that the team tried to reach out to James Spader to cast Ultron but were unable to get in touch with him. He also revealed that he didn't want Paul Bettany to voice Ultron because he felt it was disconnected and wanted the audience to be convinced that this was Ultron in Vision's body, not Vision himself. Ross Marquand was ultimately casted to do a chilling and terrifying performance to create that contrast towards Paul Bettany's character.
