Warning: SPOILERS ahead for WandaVision episode 6.

Things on WandaVision took a dark turn when Vision breached The Hex surrounding Westview - but the moment also allowed him to live up to Iron Man's EDITH joke better than Tony Stark. Played by Paul Bettany, Vision has increasingly picked at the truth behind the world that Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) seemingly created. Episode 6, "All-New Halloween Spooktacular!", saw him pursue that even further, breaking away from the established sitcom routine. After awakening and speaking with the real Agnes (Kathryn Hahn), Vision ventured to the edge of town and forcefully broke through to the real world.

Unfortunately, Vision immediately started falling apart. Some of his components were ripped back into The Hex. The rest, meanwhile, simply started to decay. As a result, fans could only watch as Vision seemed to die for the third time in his MCU history. Tyler Hayward (Josh Stamberg) and his agents of SWORD made no move to help — potentially with designs on weaponizing his vibranium corpse. Conversely, Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) tried to assist but was ultimately handcuffed and prevented. In the end, it was up to Wanda to save his life. Tapping evermore into her Scarlet Witch powers, she expanded the magical bubble and absorbed much of the surrounding area. As well as turning SWORD into a circus of clowns, the wall of The Hex seemed to restore Vision once he was safely back inside.

Despite everything, Vision's principal goal had been to get help for the citizens of Westview. He'd promised Agnes that he would fix things, and he sought to achieve that with every actual fiber of his being. Futilely battling against his own disintegration, he cried out solely on behalf of those still trapped. "Help," he said. "The people need help!" In that scene, WandaVision demonstrated why Vision was worthy of Mjolnir. Though his pleas fell on deaf ears, there was no denying that it was a moment of heroism in its purest form. Equally, however, Vision's sacrificial actions served as a more literal embodiment of the EDITH joke in Spider-Man: Far From Home.

After Tony Stark gave his life for the universe, the tech genius left control of EDITH to Peter Parker (Tom Holland). Enabling the user access to Stark Industries satellites and weaponized drones, EDITH was revealed to stand for "Even Dead, I'm The Hero". It served as a final bit of humor that exemplified Tony Stark's often-hubristic personality. There's no denying that Iron Man made the ultimate sacrifice to defeat Thanos and was, indeed, every bit a hero. Still, he was also entirely human. As such, while anything is possible when it comes to comics, his death has looked set to stick. Therefore, Spider-Man remained the true hero of his story. Equally, EDITH's name remained more a jokey comment than an actual deus ex machina from beyond the grave.

On the other hand, Vision has lived up to it entirely. One of WandaVision's most compelling mysteries has been how Vision was even alive after Avengers: Infinity War. Episode 6 seemed to answer that question — that he actually isn't. One way or another, he appeared to be a projection atop his true form. And, outside of The Hex, he simply reverted to his true, still-dead state. Regardless, even dead and with Vision's personality seemingly an approximation, he has remained a selfless hero. As well as being a literal reflection of Tony Stark's joke, Vision proved himself a true testament to the man's overall legacy. After all, alongside Ultron (James Spader) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), Stark was one of the synthezoid's creators. As such, WandaVision has allowed Vision to emerge as every bit his father's son — not only living up to him but, regarding EDITH and in several other ways, even surpassing him.
