"FACK IT!"

Name:
William “Billy” Kaplan

Alias:
Wiccan

Role:
Titan

Brief Bio:

Born in 1998, the youngest of three boys in a Jewish family living in the Bronx. Billy grew up idolizing the idea of the superheroes around him. While the Justice League themselves were cool, it was the Avengers who Billy truly looked up too. For a while he was just a typical New York City kid growing up.

Soon though problems began to arise, it was around middle school when the notion first hit Billy. The idea of not quite being as attracted to girls like his friends were. Billy tried to fight the idea at first, fearing what would happen if it was actually true. Soon though Billy gave up and accepted it, he was gay. 

Billy Kaplan never had a problem being different from others, it was others who had a problem with him. Often Billy found himself beaten up, bullied in school for being gay. Things only got worse when he went into High School. The friends he had all slowly dwindled away, and while he found comfort in other students like him, it never really felt quite the same. One day after a particularly brutal hazing at school. Billy went to the Avengers Mansion to find some kind of comfort. It was there he met Scarlet Witch, his favorite Avenger. She talked to him for a bit, letting him tour the mansion a little. She told Billy that he should stick up for himself. The words stuck with Billy, and the next day when he saw another student get bullied, he took action. However it was during the battle that Billy’s powers manifested themselves, as he shocked the bully with electricity. He struggled to control himself, stopping before he killed the other person. The incident left Billy frightened and scared, thankfully he never got any punishment as the bully was too scared to accuse Billy of anything.

Trying desperately to cheer himself up Billy went to a comic book trade show. He wasn’t expecting anything when he got there, but it started something beautiful for him. There he met Teddy Altman. A young, amazingly handsome man. The two hit it off instantly, especially as they both started dating. Though it wasn’t until one night, when Billy caught Teddy having transformed, speaking to his mom privately about telling Billy. Billy told Teddy he was okay with it, and that he had something to himself as well.

Soon however SHIELD began recruiting Teddy for their new Young Avengers program. Before he had to leave Teddy came to Billy asking if he’d be interested in joining. It didn’t take long for Billy to pack his things and begin a new life with The Young Avengers.

Abilities:

With Wiccan’s magic based powers, to activate or use a spell Billy must focus on a desire or wish and vocalize it, repeating it until the spell is casted. If Billy however can’t hear his own words then the spell will either be massively hindered or not casted at all. However Wiccan has casted spells when he hasn’t said a word, and has difficulty casting spells fellow Young Avenger Ken Tennyson can. 

Wiccan is capable of a variety of feats, including, but not limited to tracking and locating others, illusionary disguises, tearing down force-fields, mass teleportation, concussive blasts, enchantments, astral projection, and telekinetic force beams.

Personality:

A class-A nerd, Billy has taken to the idea of becoming a Young Avenger as it is a life-long dream. He takes pride in being a part of the Young Avengers, more so than maybe anyone else on the team. 

What can be considered both his biggest strength and also his biggest hindrance is that Billy wears his heart on his sleeve deeply. He can let his emotions get the better of him, and sometimes will take blame for things he shouldn’t. At the same time though, Billy’s emotions are the same thing that drive him. The passion to be a better superhero, to protect Teddy at any cost.
