![]() An objectively terrible move, but a necessary one. To spare Wanda the agony of grief, Agatha sealed off Billy and Tommy from their mother’s memory, wiping out their existence with a single, suggestive thought. As Agatha explained, Billy and Tommy were never Wanda’s to begin with, and, as manifestations of Mephisto’s soul, it was only a matter of time before they outright disappeared if not became “little creatures” themselves. While Ebony distracted Mephisto by transforming into a ferocious beast, Agatha “opened her mind” to Wanda, once again encouraging her student to let loose a stream of magic so powerful that even Mephisto was halted in his tracks.īut despite this extraordinary show of force, the twins were lost to the demon’s realm. But when Mephisto dropped in unannounced on Pandemonium and the Avengers, a greater boost of power was required. Ebony, her black cat and familiar, was sent out by her master to try and rescue the twins by any means. ![]() Agatha Harkness picked up on this double-cross first, but by that point, the twins had already been reabsorbed as dark puppets of chaos.ĭuring the team’s frantic scramble inside Pandemonium’s realm, Agatha Harkness remained in the West Coast compound. Under Mephisto’s ruse, Pandemonium was led to believe that the twins were missing pieces of his essence, when in reality, they belonged to Mephisto. In an effort to reclaim the stolen fragments of his soul, Pandemonium began a crusade against the West Coast Avengers, kidnapping Billy and Tommy. ![]() Preston agreed, and Master Pandemonium was born.īut like any savvy producer, Master P quickly realized that he had agreed to a sour deal. Never one to turn down the exploitation of a fading mortal, the Hell-lord Mephisto appeared at the scene of the accident, offering Preston unlimited access to a “Dark Realm” of demons in exchange for his soul. Martin Preston, Hollywood executive-turned-demon master, lost his right arm in a car accident that very nearly claimed his life. So, if Billy and Tommy are not the natural/magical byproducts of their parents’ love, who do they belong to? While speaking to Wonder Man over the phone, the Vision eventually ended things with Scarlet Witch, thus concluding one of the strangest (and more romantic) marriages in Marvel history. Instead, their breakup was a long, drawn out affair through WEST COAST AVENGERS #63. With a mind-wiped husband, and no shot at regaining their “normal” life together, Scarlet Witch knew that the demise of her marriage was close at hand. It is interesting to note that while Wonder Man was given the choice to sync up his consciousness to the Vision, (as he had done for the original), he opted not to, choosing instead to let his unrequited love for Wanda languish. As a result, Wanda was reacquainted with a hollow shell of her husband, an automaton who was “programmed” to feel, but had no real connection to their marriage or to their children. The best that Pym could offer was a recreation of the Vision’s body, bio-synthetic skin and all, without any of the emotional imprint or memories. But every good thing must come to an end.īecause Vigilance had planted a few bugs in the Avengers’ systems, Hank Pym was unable to replicate the brain patterns and cumulative data that comprised the Vision. Jordan.After marrying in GIANT-SIZE AVENGERS (1974) #4, the Vision and Scarlet Witch enjoyed over a year of wedded bliss in the pages of VISION AND THE SCARLET WITCH (1985). When it came time for the White Wolf to appear in the MCU, the alias went to Bucky Barnes and the personal backstory and connection to T'Challa was worked into the backstory of another powerful Black Panther villain Killmonger, successfully portrayed by actor Michael B. Although constantly in opposition, they weren't above joining forces although such unions were tentative at best. Both of them wanted to succeed their father and once denied that opportunity, they chose to spend the rest of their life in conflict of their brother while remaining loyal (sometimes) to their homeland. ![]() Both Hunter and Loki were raised by a king, both adopted and feeling inferior to their brother. More than once, Hunter's relationship to T'Challa has been compared to another pair of brothers famous for their repeated battles, Thor and his trickster half-brother Loki. He would be referenced by that name again in Avengers: Infinity War and it would appear that identity may be further explored in the upcoming Falcon and the Winter Soldier series on Disney+. In the after credits scene of Black Panther, an unfrozen, serene and one armed Bucky is seen walking among a village in Wakanda with Shuri where some of the children refer to him by that name. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the White Wolf is the alias given to Captain America's best friend and former Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes portrayed by Sebastian Stan.
