BHOC: AVENGERS #185 This next issue of AVENGERS was the first part of a well-remembered storyline--not so much for the plot per se as for the revelations it set up for prominent Avengers Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch about their lineage. It's worth setting the table a little bit, though. When they were introduced, Wanda and Pietro were simply brother-and-sister mutants who had been rescued by Magneto and subsequently joined his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Their background was very simple: they were just a pair of Romani kids. But by the time of this issue, writer Roy Thomas had done a story in which it was revealed that they were actually the offspring of golden age Marvel characters the Whizzer and Miss America. http://tombrevoort.com/2025/09/14/bhoc-avengers-185/
