Who is Thomas Maximoff?

Thomas Maximoff is one of the twin sons of Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, whose reality-altering powers brought the boys into existence. The unusual, contested nature of the twins' origin became a defining mystery surrounding them from the start.

Born in the pages of West Coast Avengers Annual #3 in 1988, Thomas Maximoff is a Copper Age Marvel creation whose story has quietly resonated with readers for nearly four decades. Brought into existence by Steve Englehart, Al Milgrom, and Gerry Talaoc, this character carries a weight and significance that collectors clearly recognize β€” four of his appearances earn key-issue status, no small distinction across a 37-issue footprint. His most notable appearances cluster around landmark Marvel events like Avengers: The Children's Crusade, Avengers: The Initiative, and Siege, placing him in some of the most consequential corners of the Marvel Universe, sharing pages with titans like Captain America, Vision, Hawkeye, Wiccan, and Tommy Shepherd. For fans who love digging into the deeper connective tissue of Marvel continuity, Thomas Maximoff is exactly the kind of character whose compact but meaningful presence rewards the devoted reader.
