re: Anyone else think Tony Stark creating Ultron was out of character?

Tony is becoming an increasingly mad scientist and control freak.

His freak out since the Battle of NY is well established.

Good man, bad choices...which is what sets up Civil War.

I'm actually surprised that Tony is actually still in the armor these days and I mean that literally. He can control the suit via remote location, there is little need for him to be there.

but then again IM3 was largely disregarded by AoU.
