Read more about Wiccan at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Comics Wiccan (real name William "Billy" Kaplan) is a comic book character, a member of the Young Avengers, a team of superhero in the Marvel Universe. His appearance is patterned on that of Thor and Scarlet Witch. He first appeared in Young Avengers #1 (April, 2005). The issue was scripted by Allan Heinberg and drawn by Jim Cheung. Billy Kaplan is the eldest of three sons born to Reform Jews Jeff Kaplan (a cardiologist ) and Rebecca Kaplan (a psychologist). Regularly bullied in school, Billy found solace outside the gates of the Avengers Mansion. One day, Billy encountered the Avenger the Scarlet Witch, who told him to stand his ground the next time it happens. She then touched his head, causing a red light to flash briefly. The flash healed Billy's wounds and a few weeks later he stood up for another kid being bullied, demonstrating his powers for the first time.
Wiccan has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
