You are still the essence--and I the reflection! How everyone must laugh at my pathetic attempts to be a whole person, an individual! How everyone must pity me--!
Pity you? Vision--don’t you realise how much I envy you--?!
--envy me--?

Synopsis for "Showdown"
There's a public outcry for a more racially balanced Avengers' roster which of course promotes a lot of internal discussion.
Meanwhile, the Vision and Wonder Man finally have their long awaited confrontation. The Vision is frustrated by the fact that he's Wonder Man's duplicate and doesn't have his own identity.
Wonder Man finally convinces him that things aren't quite as bad as they seem and that Wonder Man actually envies him. The Vision leaves with a lot to think about.
