Gazillion made up a gorgeously crafted character model for Wiccan (with flowing cape!), and recolored Scarlet Witch’s powers blue. This gives the look and feel of Scarlet Witch with a purely Wiccan flavor. I think this is just another bit of proof that Gazillion really listens to their fans wants, by giving them all the heroes they can, as fast as they possibly can. Wiccan wouldn’t have been made into his own hero for a while. He came in at #31 on the most wanted playable heroes list, which is fairly high but still below such heroes as Black Bolt, Ant-Man, Namor, Havok, Archangel and Magik, who still aren’t announced as planned. Gazillion took a look at the list of most wanted heroes and is obviously brainstorming ways to get as many heroes into their game as fast as possible.
I just recently got my Scarlet Witch to 60 after not being too interested in her for almost two years. I enjoy the character of Wiccan much more than I do Scarlet Witch (House of M just didn’t set well with me when referring to her.), so giving her a Wiccan skin made me want to play the character finally. I’m really glad I did too. Scarlet Witch has always been an extremely powerful character in Marvel Heroes 2015. You may see her in an X-Defense just twirling around in her big red bubble of death, and there is a good reason for it. She really kicks butt and since Wiccan is essentially the same hero… so does he! If you haven’t tried out Scarlet Witch, I highly recommend picking up his costume in the G Store and giving her a go. The Wiccan enhanced costume gives me hope that other heroes with similar powers to some already in game, could get into the game eventually, and that’s a reality that isn’t being warped. One last thing to note is that Scarlet Witch will be receiving her 52 review alongside Avengers: Age of Ultron. I would expect the team at Gazillion to redesign her to fit alongside her movie counterpart. That being said, they may end up completely overhauling Scarlet Witch/Wiccan, so now is a great time to play Wiccan, because post May he may seem less like he is in the comics and more like Scarlet Witch is in the new films.
