Makima vs Ultron
Two villains, one criminological theory: Utilitarianism. We compare Makima and Ultron: their profile, how dangerous they are, and where they meet and part.
Makima and Ultron share neither a film nor a universe, but they share something deeper: the same criminological theory explains them, Utilitarianism. That makes their face-off more than a “who would win?”: it is the same mechanism of crime taking two different shapes. The biggest gap is in violence: Ultron beats Makima by 23 points.
The face-off · criminal profile
On paper, the more dangerous one is Ultron, with a danger index of 92/100 against 86. But paper isn’t everything.
The index weighs violence, manipulation and intelligence, and subtracts empathy (the colder, the more dangerous). It is a reading for debate, not a sentence: the theory matters more than the score.
