The mutant Scarlet Witch and the synthezoid Vision first met in The Avengers #75, and the pair soon became close.
Their first kiss happened in issue #91 when they were losing a pretty bad fight to Ronan the Accuser,
and they confessed their love for one another eight issues later.
In coming up with the seemingly unlikely pairing, Thomas said in a magazine interview:
“I felt that a romance of some sort would help the character development in The Avengers, and
the Vision was a prime candidate because he appeared only in that mag … as did Wanda, for that matter.
So they became a pair, for just such practical considerations. It would also, I felt,
add to the development I was doing on the Vision’s attempting to become ‘human.’”
Terrific that the mutant Wanda and the synthezoid Vision will star in the WandaVision disney+ series come 2021!
Avengers West Coast #60 was the start of Thomas' run on that series...
Man, the unintentional hilarious scene with those tourists and the comicbook character U.S. Agent is to appear in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier disney+ series. Always a treat seeing the comicbook character Hawkeye sporting the cowl mask look IMO the character is to lead the MCU Avengers West Coast while sporting said look.
Hugh Roy Thomas fan. His Avengers run is my favorite on the title. If he just wrote that it would still put him high on my list, but he also has Conan, The Invaders, Namor, surprisingly good Pre-Claremont X-Men, did I mention Conan? He also wrote one of my favorite comics in the entire medium in All-Star Squadron. His work with Earth-2 solidified me as a fan of the Golden Age.
Looking forward to seeing more of the
Black Knight in the MCU in the future!
