Wonder Man is one of Marvel’s oldest characters, dating back to 1964 in the pages of Avengers #9. He began his comic book career as a villain but got reintroduced as a hero in the late 1970s. Wonder Man’s civilian name is Simon Williams, and he was a founding member of the Los Angeles-based West Coast Avengers. As an actor and stuntman, Williams’ look included wearing a turtleneck, a red jacket, and sunglasses. Wonder Man strongly relates to Marvel characters Vision and Wanda/Scarlet Witch. The trio shared several adventures, with Wonder Man and Vision thinking of each other as brothers in action. After Vision was dismantled, The villain-turned-hero developed intense feelings for Wanda. Whether Marvel plans to introduce Mateen II’s character as a potential love interest for Wanda remains to be seen. However, now that Marvel is working on Vision Quest, focusing on Paul Bettany’s Vision, we may get to see this complicated love triangle play out.
