In Episode 59 of Marvel Echoes Resonance, we dive deep into one of Marvel Comics’ most complex and tragic figures: Wonder Man. From his origin as a corporate embezzler turned ionic weapon by Baron Zemo, to the existential nightmare of having his mind copied to create The Vision, we unravel the layers of Simon Williams—a hero defined by his death as much as his life.
Whether you're a die-hard West Coast Avengers fan or just discovering the character through the new Disney+ series and 2026 solo comic, this episode will challenge your perception of identity, immortality, and what it really costs to be an Avenger.
