History

Cyclops

Wanda's sons weren't real. They were magical constructs...

Magneto

They were considerably more than that. They had thoughts and feelings. They had minds of their own. They had souls. Wanda may have used magic to give them life, but even the Scarlet Witch can't create a human soul.

^[2]

Billy and Tommy were twins supposedly born to Scarlet Witch and Vision;^[3] in reality, they were magical constructs, created by Wanda's hex powers. It was revealed that she used slivers of Mephisto's life essence to give her children souls. Tommy and Billy were eventually reabsorbed by Mephisto and ceased to exist.^[4]

Years later, two young men - Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepherd - appeared as reincarnations of Billy and Tommy.^[1]

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Master Pandemonium claimed that Tommy and Billy possessed mutant powers that increased his own abilities.^{[citation needed]}

Notes

In West Coast Avengers Annual #1 and West Coast Avengers Annual #3, one of the twins has blond hair, although in others comics they both have auburn hair.
In West Coast Avengers Annual Vol 2 #7, it could be seen that one, and presumably both, of the twins have blue eyes.
