History

Early History/Westview

Rebirth

Sometime later, as Wanda Maximoff read the Darkhold while in astral form, she heard Billy's voice cry out in desperation for help. Caught off guard, she shut the book and later attempted to hone onto his voice.

It wasn't until his mother destroyed the Darkhold castle and book, risking her life where her powers instinctively teleported her into the Flickering realms of Idumea, a realm ruled by the Elder God, Chthon. There she was approached by Chthon's demonic minions who ushered her inside a ruined temple, at the far end of the mahogany table sat Chthon in human form intended to appeal to Wanda. He welcomed her and offered her the table full of food though she did not bother with small talk and asked what he wanted from her. Chthon demanded respect and love but admitted he would settle for her gratitude. He claimed to have helped her evolve into a creature of pure beauty, strength, and power above all other mortals throughout the multiverse. Stating that she's loved the power he had bestowed, relished in it, and he had enjoyed the wrath she delivered onto even innocence. However, the Scarlet Witch scoffed at him claiming that her power is her own and she owed him nothing. Gesturing to move, Wanda was blocked by two monstrous demons and conjured a psionic orb in her palm threatening them with oblivion if they did not move. Chthon commanded them to step aside but as Wanda was walking out, the elder god commented on how he thought she would like her children back considering she killed so many people trying to before. Thanking her again for delivering their souls to Idumea.

Taken back by Chthon's claim, the Scarlet Witch demanded him to explain how she could get Billy and Tommy back and after some prying Chthon explained that the Dream Dimension causes humanity's dreams to manifest and take on a life of their own. He rationalised that Billy and Tommy are not traditional versions of dreams, but as products of Wanda's imagination brought forth with Chaos Magic, and as so could conceivably still exist there. As the twins exhibited their own powers and some control over reality, he hinted that it's possible that their consciousness survived after the Hex's dissolution.

Before sending her there as requested, he warned that it is under the dominion of Nightmare and he has no authority there to intervene. He claimed that as his realm he will prove a challenge for even her and advises caution and tells her to be clever before touching her forehead. Her body fell limp to the ground, remaining in Idumea, alive but unconscious, while her astral mind traversed the Dream Realm.

She awoke in sand and stood up. Hearing the sound of her two sons crying out for help, Wanda learned that they really were alive and flew up in the air where she became disoriented as if suffering from vertigo and fell to the ground. Confused as to what happened, Wanda ignited her telepathic powers causing her eyes to glow dark red and essentially sent out a beacon to William hoping he would pick it up and she could discover his psychic trail.

Personality

Billy is considered the more "dorky" twin compared to Tommy Maximoff being socially underdeveloped and is introverted. He also seems to be interested in Halloween, calling it a "magical holiday" and mentioning that it is full of family, friends, and dressing up as someone else. William watches anime and prefers fantasy/supernatural shows or movies as he relates to the characters since he too has powers, he is a bit of a fanboy.

He is also very intelligent even at a young age displaying wisdom beyond his years. William is kind and caring, worrying for those he loves. In nearly all situations, he displays a formidable and somewhat dark sense of humour with sarcasm and impeccable comedic timing as well as strong dramatic chops but is very serious in dire situations and displays untamed (near homicidal) rage when Hulkling is in danger. He is incredibly witty, clever, astute, and likes to live in the moment.

He is a member of the LGBT community specifically being homosexual and is a relationship with Teddy Altman, his pronouns are he/him.

Like his mother, he suffers from several mental disorders as well as anxiety. He is shown to have some self-image/body issues as shown by his favouritism of baggy clothing, exercise habits, lingering looks in the mirror, and occasionally stopping eating before he finished. It is also possible that William is bipolar as Hulkling made mention to Manic episodes where William's reality was distorted resulting in psychosis which affected his powers as well as days where he is overly happy or energetic for no reason.

Physical Appearance

William appears as a very physically attractive young man in his mid-to-late teenage years with relatively tall stature, slim yet athletic body build, pale skin and curly black hair. He has mild acne at times and has brown eyes. He has a distinctive scent of fresh, right off the smoker, BBQ sauce-soaked ribs and apple juice. It's a scent he was born with, one that reflects the gooey warmth of his soul and his innocence.

Powers and Skills

Powers

• Unique Witch Physiology: Befitting the son of the harbinger of chaos, The Scarlet Witch, William inherited a potent magical gene common to all hereditary witches, similar to Evanora or Agatha Harkness, which provides him with a “spark” - a genetic disposition, enabling him to access Magic which his body passively produces similar to how normal humans produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct of breathing. This gene was courtesy of the Faltine and William's is specifically affected by his mother's spiritual connection to Chthon, a demonic elder god, thereby granting him the capability to intermix his Witchcraft with fragmented Chaos magic. Throughout his short life, his magic has grown exponentially in scale, although he was capable of considerable feats even in his adolescence. Interestingly, he later describes the process of generating magical energy as like a balloon filling with air until eventually, he won't be able to control it and instead "explodes" in a potentially devastating fury. As the son of the legendary Scarlet Witch, William's potential far surpasses that of all conventional witches and sorcerers possessing no need for a coven or even calling upon a higher entity like the Masters of the Mystic Arts do, with his control and skill in Magic increasing greatly by training from Agatha Harkness. Overall, William is one of the most powerful magic users on Earth and in the wider multiverse, described as a terrifying demi-god by Theodore Altman and confirmed to be the most powerful member of the New Avengers.
  • Self-Actualisation: Both his greatest asset and greatest weakness, he has an inherent mysterious trait that causes his powers and abilities as well as upper capabilities to fluctuate depending on his emotional and/or mental state. Expanding with confidence and understanding, growing in raw strength with rage/anger and sorrow, as well as weakening with depression, self-doubt, and guilt.
    • Demiurge: There have been hints of a more ultimate and deeper supernatural power hidden inside of him that he does not yet have conscious access to. This buried force is somewhat pre-destined as William received a vision of the Mind stone calling him the “Demiurge” though he was unaware of what it meant at the time. Apparently, when he masters this, he will have strength comparable to Dormammu or Alioth but this is pure speculation and hasn't been confirmed.
  • Immunity: Agatha Harkness claimed that William has an "untouchable" mystic hex rendering his powers to be linked to his molecules, essence, soul, life-energy, and every part of his being so tightly that it is virtually impossible for his magic to be taken away through absorption. She even inferred that it was beyond the sorcerer supremes capability to do so.
    • Psychic Shield: He is able to resist telepathic intrusions from enhanced individuals and other witches or sorcerers as his mind is naturally enhanced by his own power to be automatically impenetrable to all but the most powerful who can rival his telepathic powers. This was strong enough to withstand the Scarlet Witch's mind control as a baby but if his mother actually tried harder it is more than likely she could pierce the shield.
  • Reality Warping: Quite similar to his mother, his most dangerous ability is the supernatural capability to warp and manipulate reality via altering molecular polarity enabling great feats and access to several additional abilities. William's potential in warping reality likely draws from the Chaos Magic used in his creation and interwoven with his existence. Unlike his mother, William seems to require the use of his voice in order to influence reality with Theo saying that he tells a lie so believable that the universe itself believes it and makes it happen. However, the requirement of his voice may be a psychological limitation as he has used some of his reality-bending powers without saying anything.
    • Healing: William is capable of repairing cellular damage to other invidious regenerating their health to optimal levels. This includes healing cuts, scrapes, burns, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, and other injuries though the greater and/or extensive the damage is the more time it requires. He could also induce pain relief for migraines and reverse damage done to his own body. He cannot reverse death when someone has already died, and attempting to do so is a "futile waste of energy", as his magic will not break the balance between life and death so easily. When healing someone, it is far easier to do so to a person he genuinely has an empathetic desire to help recover whereas it could be considerably diminished when trying to heal someone he doesn't care about or doesn't like.
    • Summoning: He has demonstrated the ability to summon otherworldly beings, such as a giant disembodied beastial head to chomp through a propelled car and could summon two large blue clawed hands possessing enough strength to rip a streetlight from the ground. Through a ritual, he could also summon and bind powerful demons to the mortal plane in order to bargain their release for something he wants. The ritual consisted of drawing a pentagram in black chalk on the ground with several runes drawn inside the triangle areas at each point, blood must be offered up fresh from William's veins, and then he must magically charge the pentagram causing the chalk to glow as he chants the invocation for the specific demon he wants to summon. He attempted to summon Baron Samedi to resurrect Theodore Altman using: "I call upon the power of the pentagram. Samedi, I summon thee! From another realm, into this mystical confinement. I summon thee! You seek freedom, I seek the return of my beloved. For this exchange, I summon thee!".
      • Banishment: When Baron Samedi refused to return Theo, William severed the connection from the pentagram to Samedi and exiled him back to the Dark Dimension.
    • Transmutation: Unhappy with his meal as a child, Billy changed it with a snap of his fingers into Mcdonalds takeaway and then instantly refilled his drink. As a teenager, he would completely alter his outfits and claimed to be able to turn Tommy into skittles though this may have been a joke. When under the effects of drugs, he caused objects to turn to candy, turned water into pepsi, turned Hulkling into a stuffed toy, and made sugar appear in his hands. When moving into Avengers Mountain, which was built into the remains of Tiamut, he was able to fully furnish and decorate the room in a matter of seconds with just a single thought by rearranging the existing matter.
    • Elemental Manipulation: William has the ability to effortlessly control the elemental forces of the world around him. As a child, William threw a tantrum that caused dark clouds to engulf the sky, intense wind like a hurricane, thunder and lightning. During his first kiss with Hulkling, William caused gentle rainfall accidentally before stopping it and calling a gust of wind to dry them. William also turned a light on and off with his hand and later, while experiencing pain from a bullet wound, he caused every electronic near him to explode including street lamp posts and phones. During his first time with Hulkling, his orgasm resulted in the lights in the room intensifying and then a power surge affected the whole street. In addition, he ignited a fire within a fireplace and caused it to rage when angered by Hulkling before causing it to die down by making a fist. When emotional: wind intensifies and rushes, nearby sources of electricity are disrupted as they flicker, and nearby fires roar. At times, he has even summoned minor earthquake tremors without meaning to. He described this effect as being next level connected to nature and so the world around him reacts to his emotional state. William has also extinguished a forest-wide fire and then re-grew every lost tree in a matter of seconds.
    • Age Manipulation: William has the ability to change his age at will with it being the reason why he's a teenager despite being only a few months to a year plus chronologically. He could also apply this technique to others as he did to his twin brother on numerous occasions in conjunction with himself.
  • Astral Projection: Unlike traditional astral projection, he is able to separate his astral form from his physical body in order to project it out as an intangible construct with access to another dimension of space-time without losing consciousness. This subsequently means that he can safely astral project indefinitely as psychopomps will not mistake his actual body for that of a deceased given it is still active.
  • Teleportation: He is capable of transporting himself and others from one location to another without physically inhabiting the space in-between. In doing so, the teleported party is completely engulfed in bright blue light that appears in both locations. William can only teleport to places where he has been before or is in his line of sight.
    • Portal Creation: Similar to Sling Ring portals, William can open dimensional doorways that can be used as a means for rapid travel all over the world or potentially adjacent dimensions just by thinking of the place even if he's never been there before. These portals seemingly require a certain geometric interface like a door frame to manifest a transparent navy-blue field rippling with electrified liquid-like energy that causes anyone who passes through to disappear in ashes sucked in.
  • Psionics: Like his mother, William has vast psionic abilities, which manifest as luminescent currents, wisps, smoky sparks or amorphous formations comprised of blue energy which are magical in nature and sometimes infused with white mist highlights. This gathers primarily as a chaotic sphere-like construct hovering by his palm which he can project outward in virtually any style. However, he can use some of his abilities like telekinesis without conjuring this energy in his hands, instead the object/person he manipulates is briefly coated in a blue aura symbolising his control over it. This style allows for greater control and precision seeing as it is less raw but is also somewhat less powerful.
    • Psionic Energy Manipulation: He has the ability to generate and control very potent psionic energy which he can manipulate to great extent, even more so after his training. Willian uses this to generate, create and project bright blue energy blasts in the form of projectile orbs, beams, bursts, waves and bolts, by projecting his own psionic/kinetic energy or gathering ambient mystical particles/molecules in the air into a contained space, allowing him to either blow, destroy, hit with concussive force or otherwise strike opponents. When overwhelmed by emotions, William's magic subconsciously goes haywire releasing a wave of transparent blue energy as an omnidirectional shockwave packing concussive force exploding in all directions.
      • Telekinesis: Through gestures and/or pure mental effort, William can influence objects and people; he can affect/control molecules and particles, as well as physical forces such as kinetic energy, friction, pressure, density, state of matter, gravity pressure, vectors, etc, allowing full control of matter and energy. He can halt bullets in their tracks, levitate objects or people and suspend them there, move and throw large boulders, redirect targets, create telekinetic shockwaves, organize the dishes in the kitchen, open/close doors, smash drones together, pin targets to surfaces, strangle or throw or hold people in place and even damage Vibranium.
        • Flight: Via telekinesis, William has the ability to levitate safely through the air and simulate flight, to hover and safely float back to the ground, manifesting as a blast of energy expelled from his hands onto the ground to propel himself up in the air and then a second expulsion to cushion his landing. The mechanics of it made it function more of a extended leap but he later learned how to properly fly, no longer needing to actively project energy and merely hold it in his hands, requiring no take-off or landing steps.
      • Force-field Generation: He is able to create highly durable barriers of blue-white energy that he can shape and manipulate as needed. Like any physical barrier, the barrier could be broken with extreme brute force, but this was highly difficult to accomplish and they can withstand most assaults including mystical ones. Naturally, as magic exists in multiple dimensions in phased states, William's force fields cannot be bypassed through intangibility or teleportation. He has been shown creating mandalas beneath his feet to soften landings or to walk on as platforms, bubble-like prisons reinforced with runic mandalas spread across them, domed shields for protection of himself and allies which he can then unleash as a shockwave to launch attackers away, contain an enemy, protective barrier constructs and he seems to have automatic magic force-fields protecting him from harm when he is not consciously aware of it.
        • Warding: Thanks to his mystical training, he is capable of instituting defensive wards around a person or object or location to safeguard from whatever he selects such as infernal energy signatures. The wards manifest as blue energy, when used on a building: he opens a small circular construct on the egress/ingress ports and clicks 3 runic symbols in place inside said construct, when used on a person: he transfers a energy surge into their body which develops into runes on their skin that glow when interacted with (similar to the guardian vishanti spell), when used on an object: he magically carves the rune onto its surface. William's warding's are extremely powerful, able to resist many threat forces, and he has enough control to activate or deactivate them at will.
    • Telepathy: Due to his mother’s ability to interact mentally with others, William can read minds, communicate telepathically and experience the memories and thoughts of others. As a child, this ability was always active and was quite overwhelming which is why he enjoyed spending time with Agatha who was impervious to telepathy. Later on, this required William to make tactical contact with his target in order to channel this ability but this seems to be a limitation he himself enforces as other instances require only the person to be in his line of sight or within his mental range. When using his telepathic abilities, William's irises involuntarily glow blue with his pupils sometimes lighting up in tandem when expanding on the amount of energy he is releasing. At its most intense, it appears as bright shining blue emitting a haze and covers both pupils/irises while leaving the sclera alone.
      • Clairvoyance: William can acquire information using sight outside the normal range of detection about an object, person, location, or physical event. He is capable of detecting entities normally unnoticeable, like spiritual or supernatural beings, discovering and become aware that his universe were only one of multiple overlapping dimensions in an infinite multiverse, feel the presence of powerful individuals on Earth, locate people he can establish a psychic connection to, and can sense supernatural activity or influence.
      • Mental Manipulation: William was able to deploy a form of mental manipulation, often as a type of illusory hypnosis, using the same neuro-electric interface that is the basis of his mother’s telepathic powers. He can also manipulate the memory, thoughts, actions, emotions, and senses of others at will, as well as induce sleep or pain and create illusions without much difficulty. Usually, the veins of his target transmit the magic into the eyes causing brief discoloration as they fall prey to his superior mind. He was able to mentally paralyze several SWORD agents at once as a ten-year-old with a simple hand gesture and in a heated confrontation with his boyfriend, William inadvertently sent out a large blast of energy which affected two guards, causing them to become enraged and fight each other. The guards fought so brutally that they are both shown laying on the ground, either dead or knocked out. Later, when Theo lost control over his powers and went on a minor rampage, William calmed him down by transferring a flow of blue energy from his body into Theo's via a kiss. This even works on himself as by touching his chest he was able to influence his out of control emotions.
      • Precognition: As a child, William was able to see his mother smothering Westview civilians before it happened. William, as a teen, receives blurry visions while dreaming that causes him to sweat excessively and suffer from sleep paralysis.
  • Power Bestowal: In exchange for Agatha Harkness teaching him, William promised to reawaken Agatha's magical gene therefore giving her powers back to the ancient dark witch. He eventually fulfilled his promise, albeit, restored Agatha to using pure witchcraft rather than dark magic and at a severely reduced level.

Abilities

• Skilled Artist: Billy is a very talented artist being most skilled with sketching and painting but has dabbled in sculpting.

Threat Level

Small building level as of 11 and Solar System level as of mid-late teenager.

Galaxy Level - At his peak reality-warping, William is said to be a threat to the entire Milky Way Galaxy much like his mother. Comparable to Franklin Richards. Possibly higher with his Demiurge power.

Quotes

"Can you understand the very delicate mindset I have, as a person, who has control over reality? It means reality controls me! Imagination is my enemy. Structure disappears. The reality, eventually, starts to slip away. Blur. Drama, conflict, tragedy. They become excuses to change the world to fit the image in my head. Anything not to my liking, I have the power to change. No matter how slight. People. Places. Things. Everything is mine. But that doesn't mean it should be."

―William Maximoff

"I get anxiety. I don't think I'm good enough. I don't like myself, even though I know -- rationally, I know -- doesn't matter. I have bad days. Bad thoughts. And sometimes... sometimes, yeah. They're hard to fight. But I don't let them win every day."

―William Maximoff
