Powers
- As Wiccan, Billy Kaplan possesses a spellcasting talent that may or may not be related to a reality warping power, as might be suggested from his 'mother', the Scarlet Witch. Although it was suggested that this power was activated or even bestowed by Wanda entirely, Billy's powers seem to be considerably more reliable and focused than Wanda's hexes ever were. While patterning himself after Thor under the guise Asgardian, Billy limited himself entirely to flight and lightning based spells. By stating an intent and focusing on the outcome, Wiccan is capable of a variety of feats, including, but not limited to tracking and locating others, illusionary disguises, tearing down forcefields, mass teleportation, concussive blasts, enchantments, and telekinetic force beams.

History
Billy Kaplan is the eldest of three sons born to cardiologist Jeff Kaplan and psychologist Rebecca Kaplan.
Regularly beaten up in school for being gay, Billy found solace outside the gates of the Avengers Mansion. One day, Billy encountered the Avenger Wanda, 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 heals Billy's wounds and a few weeks later he stands up for another kid being bullied, and demonstrates his powers for the first time, but is not fully prepared for their effects.
He was one of the Young Avengers chosen as a result of the Vision's plan for the reformation of the Avengers, in the event the team ever disbanded. He originally chose the code name Asgardian.
The full extent of his powers are unknown, though they include flight and lightning generation. In Young Avengers #5, it is revealed that he can cast spells using a technique learned from "self-help books" owned by fellow Young Avenger Hulking's mother. By chanting a mantra/statement of intent (for example, "I want Iron Lad to forget") and focusing on the outcome he wants to achieve, he can cause different events and effects to happen.
