[|Billy Maximoff] / William Kaplan

William "Billy" Maximoff is the son of Wanda Maximoff and Vision, and the younger twin brother of [|Tommy Maximoff].

After Wanda "gives birth" to Billy, he ages rapidly to five and ten years old, acquiring supernatural abilities: Billy harnesses chaos magic like his mother. Following a battle between Wanda and the witch Agatha Harkness, Wanda dissolves the Westview anomaly, erasing the imaginary existence of Billy. Billy reincarnates upon his "death" in the body of William Kaplan, a 13-year-old from Westview's neighboring town of Eastview, who was killed in a car accident after leaving his bar mitzvah early; stricken with amnesia, Billy then assumes William's identity, unaware of his past life.
Following Wanda's death, Billy's curiosity about the anomaly that occurred the day of his car crash leads him to investigate and learn that Wanda and Vision had children in Westview, one of whom had the same abilities that he has. Realizing his true identity, he becomes determined to find his lost brother. He frees Harkness from a spell placed by Wanda and asks that she take him on the Witches' Road, a magical pathway where one's desires are granted after completing a series of "trials". In the final trial, Billy locates Tommy's soul and places it in the body of a drowning boy. After discovering that the Witches' Road was a myth created by Harkness and that he had willed it into existence, he accepts the mentorship of Harkness, who dies and returns as a ghost, and set out to search for Tommy.
