Comics y TV: Wiccan y Speed

El trailer de la serie de Marvel "Agatha en todas partes" ("Agatha All Along") muestra a varios personajes vistos en la anterior producción televisiva de la misma casa, "WandaVision" (2021), y continúa la historia de la bruja Agatha Harkness (Kathrin Hahn), atrapada en el pueblito de Westwiew (Nueva Jersey). El video presenta a un joven, interpretado por Joe Locke, estrella de la serie "Heartstopper", que es un "adolescente gay con un oscuro sentido del humor", según la explicación oficial, y en el futuro se convertirá en el poderoso Wiccan, tal como fue anunciado.

Ya hubo un esbozo del personaje de Billy Maximoff, uno de los gemelos surgidos de la magia de su madre, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), en "WandaVision". Hijo (¡una hechicera lo hizo!) de Vision (Paul Bettany), la serie mostraba a los pequeños Billy (Julian Hilard) y Tommy (Jett Klyne) en infantil ebullición y portando, a modo de guiño, el vestuario que ambos superhéroes llevan en los comics (Tommy es el alter ego de Speed). A pesar de su destino en el show, los chicos reaparecen en el filme "Doctor Strange en el Multiverso de la Locura" ("Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness", 2022).

Pero, ¿quiénes son Wiccan y Speed? Como se sabe, en el mundo de los comics un superhéroe puede ser la piel de uno o varios personajes y este dúo no es la excepción. Billy y Tommy Maximoff ya habían aparecido en 1986 como los hijos gemelos de Wanda y Vision, pero como dúo superheroico aparecieron en el primer número de "Young Avengers", equipo del que formaron parte, en 2005. Como superhéroes, fueron creados por Allan Heinberg y dibujados por Jim Cheung mientras que Billy y Tommy fueron creados por Steve Englehart y Richard Howell. Desde el vamos se sabía que los poderosos muchachos (Wiccan posee propiedades mágicas, como mamá, y Speed goza de supervelocidad) serían homosexuales, aunque se determinó que Speed fuera bisexual. Es más, en el caso de Wiccan se creó a su pareja, Hulking, superhéroe con quién se casó en 2020, conformando el primer matrimonio LGBTQ de Marvel Comics.

Otra encarnación de Wiccan es Billy Kaplan (¿el personaje de Locke?), que en el papel es un hijo de cirujanos acosado por su homosexualidad que recibe sus poderes de la Bruja Escarlata. La otra versión de Speed es Thomas Shepherd, hijo de padres divorciados y reclutado por los Jóvenes Vengadores. Los ya mencionados Heinberg y Cheung concibieron a Kaplan y a Shepherd. En el casod e éste último, aún se desconoce si aparecerá o no en "Agatha All Along" o en proyectos posteriores. Esta cuestión sólo está en la mente de los hacedores del Universo Cinemático de Marvel.

Wiccan & Hulkling: The Last Annihilation Spoiler Review

THIS IS WHY BILLY AND TEDDY ARE MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME!!!

After reading Wiccan & Hulkling: KING IN BLACK I was so dissatisfied with their story and characterisation that it made me question my love for these characters. This time, however, I couldn’t be more happy with what Anthony Oliveira has written. He has shown here, without a doubt, that he knows these characters and what makes them special.

It also refutes one of the flimsiest arguments I have heard about them: that they are nothing but a unit and cannot function separately. Here, both Billy and Teddy work really well on their own. They have great interactions with other characters. Teddy‘s talk with Phyla stands out as an exceptionally beautiful detail. It was beautiful and I am so happy that Teddy could connect to his family. Billy can also stand well on his own and plays well off of Mur-G’nn and Abigail, who lies to him like there’s no tomorrow. An nice but much needed surprise was also to see that Billy has embraced who he is. His bullies couldn’t bring him down, Loki couldn’t, and Dormammu sure as hell wont.

And while they can very well stand on their own, the beautiful thing about their relationship is that they are, ultimately, stronger together. Even when apart, the other is never far away. And THE RINGS!!!! I CANNOT STOP GUSHING OVER IT! This is so romantic an poetic. A perfect metaphor for their relationship that was an integral part of the plot. I cannot express ho much this means to me! They can be separated but their love always connects them. And we finally get to see a proper proposal. I am crying so much😭

And their „origin story“ was all I was hoping it to be. It is sweet and nerdy and exactly how it should have been done. It‘s sweet and shy and hits all the beats I imagined. It was also true to life because I have been in Billy‘s place. You become quiet, reclusive and it takes someone special to show you your worth. And Teddy was/ is that someone for him. They bond over their love for comics and I adore the original YA detail that Teddy is still somewhat hung up on the asshole of assholes, Greg Norris. And Teddy‘s mom was the sweetest little angel. I have to smile while writing this because I can just imagine how happy she was for Teddy when he was mooning over Billy. And Billy waiting for Teddy after watching the game was so soft, all the while wrapped in Teddy‘s scarf. THIS IS ALL SO BEAUTIFUL!

We also finally get confirmation on Teddy‘s real appearance and it couldn’t have been done more perfectly. Teddy is neither this, nor that. HE IS TEDDY KAPLAN-ALTMAN, AND THAT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH!

I also have to add, Noh and Herc are the most adorable little couple. Their bickering is so cute and Herc carrying him around, both grinning like idiots as all worlds fall apart, is the perfect himbo symbiosis I wanna see. GIMME MORE NOH AND HERC!!!

Billy and Teddy show up to the Hellfire Gala serving these hot and spicy Space Husband Looks...what do you do? In all honesty, one of our amazing followers asked us after last week’s comic: what would we dress Billy and Teddy in for the Hellfire Gala? We thought it’d be fun to give our take! Here, we see Billy, Wiccan, YOUR Demiurge, dressed in an actual nebula and glowing like a star. We were inspired by the redesign of Wiccan’s costume in Style vs Substance, where the suit has a moving, living nebula in it, but just exploded it out to be something that would turn every head in the room. This costume is brought to you 100% by Billy’s infinite power; not everyone could keep a nebula hovering perfectly around their body at all times. But if you could do it, why the heck wouldn’t you? Teddy is looking regal and hot in a McQueen SS’10 inspired outfit that has him serving Montero In Space vibes. If Colossus and Gambit are showing up abs out, then Teddy has to show what he’s got, too! We loved the idea of his piece tying in with Billy’s by using star/glitter fabric for the bulk of the pieces, with beautiful gold accents to go with it (mostly because gold on his green skin is just chef’s kiss). Along with gold eyeliner and beautiful navy lipstick, we thought adding make-up that nods to his skrull ancestry was also a fun addition to the piece. Oh, and maybe a couple more piercings than usual, just for some added sparkle… ;)
