Does This Unit Have a Soul?
A down on his luck inventor named Phineas Thomas Hammond was on the cusps of unlocking the secrets to artificial intelligence, but the onset of World War II, and the United States' envolvement left him in dire financial straits; he never stopped his research. The being he called "The Vision of Human Progress" was "born" on October, 1939, but was confined to Hammond's basement (which stored the entire computer that house his mind). The power consupmtion eventually got the Government's attention, and they shut the power off and confronted Hammond; he was heartbroken and decried the people who killed his creation, but being miraculously turned the power, and confirmed to his creator that he was still alive. The Government decided to acquire "The Vision" and turned it and Horton to the S.S.R. Now with special funding, Hammond was permitted to continue his research, but with the caveat that he would weaponize this newly created being. in 1941, He created a sturdy body made from Adamantium and Vibranium.
