Billy gets a taste of this future when he briefly becomes an all-powerful being called the Demiurge, but he quickly decides he's not ready to wield such power. Wiccan is a figure of great interest to the rest of Marvel's magical community, with everyone from Loki to Doctor Strange predicting Billy will one day grow to become one of the most powerful beings in the universe. However, that proved not to be the case, and Billy has since changed codenames to better reflect his true nature. When he first appeared on the superhero scene, Billy used the codename Asgardian rather than Wiccan, with his costume and emphasis on lightning-based spells both suggesting he was somehow connected to Thor. He often has to focus his mind by saying, "I want to " during battle. Because he has little formal training, Billy doesn't have a great deal of control over his powers. He can alter reality on a fundamental level, allowing him to do everything from fly to teleport to fire destructive energy blasts. Like Wanda, Billy is a sorcerer whose powers are derived from his mutant biology rather than any supernatural artifacts or magical training. He can accelerate the kinetic energy of objects he touches, causing them to vibrate and explode.
Speed even has one ability his uncle doesn't. He also has enhanced strength and durability, allowing his body to endure those extreme forces. As his name suggests, Speed can run at supersonic speeds and can even move fast enough to vibrate through solid barriers. 2, #12 (as babies) Creators: Allan Heinberg & Jim Cheung Current Team: Strikeforce (Wiccan) Recommended Reading: Young Avengers by Allan Heinberg & Jim Cheung: The Complete Collection, Avengers: The Children's Crusade, Young Avengers by Kieron Gillen & Jamie McKelvie: The Complete Collection Billy and Tommy's PowersIn terms of their powers, Wiccan and Speed are practically carbon copies of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, respectively. Wiccan and Speed Cheat Sheet First Appearances: Young Avengers (2005) #1 (Wiccan), Young Avengers (2005) #10 (Speed), The Vision and the Scarlet Witch (1986) Vol. Both have overcome plenty of adversity already, with Billy facing regular bullying due to his being gay and Tommy becoming an unwitting test subject in a sinister government facility. Once Billy and Tommy come to grips with their growing powers and their direct connection to the Avengers, their shared superhero destiny truly begins. Rather, their souls are reincarnated in new bodies to be raised by new surrogate parents. The good news is that Wanda and Vision's children weren't destroyed. Sadly, those memories are never entirely scrubbed away, which leads to some very dark days for Earth's Mightiest Heroes in 2004's Avengers Disassembled. After Mephisto reclaims that energy, Wanda and Vision's children are seemingly wiped out of existence and Wanda is made to forget she ever had children.
Long story short, Wanda eventually learns her sons' souls are formed from an aspect of the demon lord Mephisto.
That's only the beginning of a very convoluted origin, however. They were born in 1986's The Vision and the Scarlet Witch Vol. In response, Wanda magically creates two twin sons to complete their nuclear family. Because Vision is an artificial being known as a Synthezoid, he's not actually capable of fathering biological children of his own. Wanda and Vision have shared a tumultuous romantic history over the years. Given that their mother is a spell-caster and their father is an android, it goes without saying that Wiccan and Speed have a pretty unusual origin story. “ The Origins of Scarlet Witch's ChildrenWiccan and Speed were created by writer Allan Heinberg and artist Jim Cheung, with Wiccan debuting in 2005's Young Avengers #1 and Speed following in Young Avengers #10.
