Billy Kaplan

Coming from entranceway

Billy spent four years in Wonderland. He had four years of experiences that led to a lot of personal growth. He spent the majority of his time there as a lone canon warrior- separated from his team and his boyfriend. Before Wonderland he had a very codependent slightly unhealthy relationship with Teddy. His time away from that forced him to become more independent and more self sufficient. He had to rely on himself instead of a team for the first time since he was sixteen. He learned how to be by himself and he came to terms with a lot that he didn’t like about himself. 

He had some very influential mentors in Wonderland. He had a close relationship with Natasha Romanoff, Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, all three from a different universe than his. They trained him in combat, and in tactics, and Steve especially helped teach him how to be a team leader. 

Surprisingly, he also had a close relationship with Loki, who taught him how to use his magic, and gave him confidence to be comfortable enough with the amount of power he could wield and how dangerous he could be if he took the wrong steps. The confidence in himself and his power led to confidence in interpersonal relationships. For the first time in 19 years Billy had a lot of friends and people to rely on. He organized movie nights and set up a magical studies library, he learned from people and in turn taught them. All of these things lead to the self confident leader that he is now.

Wonderland was not without its emotional and physical trauma however. Wonderland had what the residents called events, once or twice a month the world would change, taking on the memories of a resident. Sometimes it wouldn’t be so bad- suddenly they were all witches and wizards attending hogwarts, or they lived on a space station. Other times….they were in worlds with zombies, or monsters or political regimes that wanted to wipe them out, or being brainwashed to think they were agents of HYDRA and brainwashing their fellow residents. A lot of people died a lot of the time. But the thing was if someone died, they were resurrected; not only could they die once, but they could die over and over. Billy died three times. 

The trauma of dying and how he died is still with him, and always will be- for as long as he keeps those memories anyway. It taught him to use caution, to look before he leaps, and not to trust everyone automatically. Wonderland taught him how to deal with loss and by the end of four years he was a stronger, more confident, outgoing person than he was back home.

Chaos Magic: Billy's main power is the ability to manipulate Chaos Magic, which he inherited from his mother. His magic is based on his wants, when he wants something to happen he has to chant and visualize it happening. As he grows stronger there are some spells he can accomplish without chanting. The chaos magic also gives him the following abilities:

Teleportation: Can teleport himself and others over undetermined distances.
Healing: Can quickly heal others through his spells.
Flight: Billy can use his magic to make himself fly and help others do the same.
Solid Energy Constructs: Billy can manipulate mystical energy to create solid constructs such as disks, shields, force fields, and other projectiles.
Conjuring: Billy can create clothing, decor, and food from seemingly nothing.
