D&D Avengers: The Vision

The Vision! The appearance of this character honestly shocked me and may be why I like Avengers 2 so much. Jarvis was always a favorite character and to have him in this role and transform into this new hero was impressive. The only thing is, I wish they would've spent more time on what his crazy android body could do. The phasing, the laser beam, the density control. You know, all that jazz. So how can we make our beloved Vision into a D&D character? My version is going to be a Warforged Sorcerer with a new origin called Awakened.

Awakened
You had an experience, a life changing moment, that awakened a slumbering power within you. Perhaps this was from contact with a mystical artifact, or maybe instead it came during a time of crisis. No matter the catalyst, you have come upon great power that allows you to tamper with the world around you. The effect of your meddling is for you to decide.

Streamlined Biology
The power controlled in your mind is able subtly alter your body to improve its health. At 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.
     Additionally, your skin hardens as a response to incoming attacks. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

Mental Acuity
You know the comprehend languages spell. In addition, you can cast it once a day without using a spellslot; this ability recharges after you finish a long rest. At 5th level you know the spell tongues and can use this ability with tongues instead of comprehend languages, but only targeting yourself.

Phasing
Starting at 6th level, when an attacker you can see hits you with an attack you can use a reaction and spend 1 sorcery point to halve the damage. In addition, you know the spell gaseous form.

Unshackle
At 14th level you gain the ability to control your density to allow flight. You gain a fly speed equal to your walking speed. While flying your density is minimized, granting disadvantage on Strength ability checks and saving throws.

Mental Projection
Beginning at 18th level you can focus your immense mental power into a concentrated beam. As an action, you can force creatures in a 120 foot line to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 10d6 force damage or half as much on a success. This ability recharges after a short or long rest.

Leveling The Vision: He is a Guild Artisan because...he was a butler before a sorcerer? I'm not sure, it just fit best of the basic options. As he levels up, The Vision should up his Charisma real high and grab feats that improve and expand his spell casting or reflect his heightened physiology. Feats like Alert, Athlete, Durable, Keen Mind, Ritual Caster, Observant, Spell Sniper; honesty he is supposed to be so awesome that really any could fit well. You could even grab Tavern Brawler or Martial Artist if you want to get him closer to the movie version. Spells should focus around transmutation, divination, and beams of energy. Changing his own body, being super smart, and head cannon respectively.
