Helen Cho is a South Korean comic book character in the Marvel Universe under the Hercules title. Helen Cho is mainly known, however, for her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the Age of Ultron film.

Canon

Helen Cho first appeared in Incredible Hercules #133 (November 2009) in Earth-616.

MCU

Dr. Helen Cho, portrayed by Claudia Kim, first appears as a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Age of Ultron. In the film, Cho saves Clint Barton's life at the beginning of the film. It's apparent that she has worked for the Avengers before and joins them for some after parties they have, and seems to have an attraction to Thor.[1] She is there for the attack by Ultron, but returns to her research facility in Seoul. There is met by Ultron and is mind controlled by the Wanda Maximoff in order to create a human-like body for Ultron.

However, when Scarlet Witch touched the Cradle holding the human-like body for Ultron, she saw what Ultron's main goal was and horrified, she freed Cho from the hypnosis so that she could stop him. Cho recovered her senses and proceeded to disconnect Ultron from the uplink. She was consequently shot with a concussive blast by Ultron while Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch escaped. She is then tended to by Captain America and tells him of Ultron's plan.

Cho's work gave birth to the Vision, a powerful robot with the mind of J.A.R.V.I.S. who helped the Avengers destroy Ultron. She later joins Maria Hill at the New Avengers Facility.

Fandom

Although she appears as a minor character in the The Avengers 2, fandom mainly appreciates her and praises her role in the film. However, despite this, she is not featured in a lot of fanworks on FFN and AO3.[2] There seems to be a bit more activity at Tumblr, with headcanons, gifsets, fanart, and picspams posted more frequently.

With the few fanworks out there, it's hard to judge the popularity of shipping. She's been paired up with Steve Rogers, Pietro Maximoff, Thor Odinson, Phil Coulson, Betty Ross, and Wade Wilson and often in gen works with Maria Hill, Betty Ross, Laura Barton, Jane Foster, Vision, and Darcy Lewis.
