I mean, he doesn't even appear in any comics (and even Vision-boy isn't a regular at the moment anywhere, and hasn't been for years as I understand it) and yet all of this merchandise has come out in the last year after *years* when I was still reading comics of zero Vision related stuff.

I guess Marvel has really decided to license the hell out of the Avengers in the lead up to the movie. It's the only property they really control themselves any more.

I think Young Avengers had a recent mini-series with the Runaways that tied into Secret Invasion, so he must of showed up in that. And before that there were a series of Young Avengers spotlight stories and before that he was in Civil War, so Marvel's been doing something to keep those characters (crummy as they are) in the public eye.
