The third episode of VisionQuest has brought a major revelation, and that is Vision’s AI companion, F.R.I.D.A.Y., is based on Allison Hogan. For those who are not aware, she was Howard Stark’s loyal assistant and helped raise Tony Stark. Interestingly, the name Hogan is also connected to Happy Hogan.

As many will remember, Happy Hogan is a loyal friend of Tony Stark and also served as his bodyguard. The two characters might be connected, as Allison could be Happy Hogan’s mother. However, nothing has been confirmed as of now.

Meanwhile, E.D.I.T.H. is based on Edith Mark. The episode also revealed another interesting connection. F.R.I.D.A.Y. likely mentioned Tony Stark, hinting at his death in Avengers: Endgame. She spoke about the heartbreaking incident to the other AIs.

"Half the world came back that day, and I lost half of mine," she said.
