Sadly, in the end, Williams’ betrayal of Zemo meant that his condition couldn’t be reversed, and he died among the Avengers as a celebrated hero.īut this being comics – and this being Wonder Man, especially – death was only the beginning of Simon Williams’ story. When the time comes to pull the trigger on Zemo’s scheme and take down the Avengers, Wonder Man can’t bring himself to betray the heroes who tried so hard to help him and instead turns on Zemo to help the Avengers defeat him.
Though their efforts ultimately fail, the Avengers try everything they can think of, down to Thor’s magic and Iron Man and Hank Pym’s super-science to save him, but the deterioration caused by Zemo’s ‘Ionic Ray’ treatments can’t be reversed without Zemo’s own tech. Once among the Avengers, Williams told the team of his deadly condition, though not of his secret allegiance to Zemo. Taking on the outwardly heroic identity of Wonder Man, Williams enacted Zemo’s scheme to infiltrate the Avengers, winning a place among the team after a staged battle with the Masters of Evil. However, to keep Williams in line as his henchman, Zemo also put a deadly failsafe in his experiments which meant that Williams regularly needed special treatments from Zemo’s technology to stop the energy in his body from killing him. When Simon was ousted from the company after embezzling millions of dollars, his story came to the attention of Baron Zemo and his Masters of Evil.Īppealing to Williams’ hatred of Tony Stark, whose firm Starktech had eclipsed Williams Innovations, Zemo offered Williams a way to get revenge on Stark (whose identity as Iron Man was still secret at this time) and his associates the Avengers, by empowering him with so-called ‘Ionic Rays’ that turned him into a super-strong, nigh-invulnerable powerhouse of ‘Ionic Energy’. Any plan switch after redemption of this offer will result in forfeiture of the discount pricing.Debuting all the way back in 1964’s Avengers #9 (opens in new tab) from Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Don Heck (that’s right, Wonder Man is as OG as it gets in Marvel Comics), Simon Williams was a young businessman in charge of a family company that was failing under his leadership.
