Victor Mancha
fictional character in Marvel Comics
Victor Mancha, also known as Victorious, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character appeared in the award-winning series Runaways. Like the original Runaways, Victor has a supervillain for a parent; his is the Avengers villain Ultron, an evil robot bent on world domination. Victor, however, is a cyborg, with human flesh and natural tissue cloned from his human mother, which conceals his metal parts and circuitry.
Publication history
Victor Mancha was created by author Brian K. Vaughan and artist Adrian Alphona and debuted in Runaways vol. 2 #1 (April 2005).
On colorist Christina Strain's Live Journal, she revealed that Victor's eyes are green with a golden center, which was modeled after Gael García Bernal.
Fictional character biography
Victor Mancha is a cyborg created by Ultron after he encountered Marianella Mancha, a woman who was unable to conceive naturally due to a drug that was put in her. Ultron took some of Mancha's DNA and cloned it to create Victor Mancha, incorporating his own nanotechnology into him.

Why this record matters
The phrase “fictional character in Marvel Comics” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7926126. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
