Wiccan (comics)

Wiccan (William "Billy" Kaplan-Altman) is a comic book character and member of the Young Avengers, a team of teenage superheroes in Marvel Comics. Created by writer Allan Heinberg and artist Jim Cheung, the character first appeared in Young Avengers #1 (April 2005). The character's appearance is patterned on that of two prominent Marvel superheroes, Thor and Scarlet Witch, both of whom are members of the Avengers. Like the Scarlet Witch, Wiccan possesses powerful magical abilities which make him a key member of his superhero team.

Recruited to the Young Avengers by Iron Lad, Wiccan's story includes the discovery that he and fellow teen hero Speed are in fact long-lost twin brothers, and that the pair are the sons of Scarlet Witch and her husband Vision. Significant storylines for the character include him and his brother's search for their missing mother, learning to master his powers, and an ongoing relationship with his teammate Hulkling.

Alongside his permanent role as a member of the Young Avengers, Wiccan has also been a member of Avengers Idea Mechanics, Strikeforce and the Guardians of the Galaxy. He is known for being a prominent gay character in the Marvel Comics.

Billy appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ miniseries WandaVision (2021), played by Baylen Bielitz and Julian Hilliard. Hilliard will return as Billy in the upcoming film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022).

Iago PUC

 * A version of Wiccan appears in Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2 and its spin-off Valkyrie: An Earth-Two Story. He is depicted as Thor and Jane Foster's adopted son, a young sorcerer from parallel dimensions.
 * A female version (named Belle Kaplan) appears in Avengers Unleashed, voiced by Tara Strong.
 * Billy Kaplan / Wiccan appears as a main character in Marvel's Superhero Adventures: Infinity War, voiced by Sean Maher. Still depicted as Hulkling's husband, this version is depicted as Wanda Maximoff's cousin instead of her son. A friend of Spider-Woman and Jackpot, he is also a new member of the Avengers, who joined sometime after the battle against the Regent's army of the Negative Zone's insects. He was also offered membership in the Thunderbolts by Tyler Hayward, but he rejected it out protest against using metahumans (heroes and villains alike) as living weapons.
 * Billy Kaplan appears in Marvel: All New, All Different Chronicles and its Disney+-exclusive spin-off All New, All Different Mutants, voiced in both by Neil Patrick Harris. This version is Wanda Maximoff's cousin who, after receiving blood-transfusion from his cousin to save his life, developed the abilities of telekinesis, teleportation hole projection and limited control over reality itself. Seeking control over his powers, Billy was taken in by Wanda to be trained by Doctor Stephen Strange and Wong as one of the Masters of the Mystic Arts. Unlike most Marvel-related media, Billy is not addressed to by the alias of Wiccan, as he (like Wanda) keeps demanding others not to give him any superhero codenames and just call him by his real name.
 * Wiccan is a DLC playable character in Marvel Superhero Adventures: Intergalactic Grand Prix, voiced by A. J. Locascio. He is playable alongside Hulkling, whose karts are: Elton's Pride (a half green, half blue race car resembling a 1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster with a rainbow in the rear) which Hulkling drives, and the Uniter (a blue hover car with the colors of Wiccan's costume and green wings around the cockpit) which Wiccan controls.
