Marvel Comics is launching Who Is…, a reader-friendly, digital series that will take a deep dive into some of the company’s most popular characters.
A new digital series from Marvel Comics will dive deep into the origins of some of the House of Idea’s most popular characters.
Titled, Who Is…, the reader-friendly series will consist of a collection of one-shots, with each issue focusing on a different character. The first two issues, which debuted on Marvel Unlimited on April 20, follow Scarlet Witch / Wanda Maximoff and America Chavez.

WHO IS… AMERICA CHAVEZ #1
- Writer: Alex Segura
- Artist: Carlos Gomez
- Colorist: Bryan Valenza
- Editor: Lauren Amaro
- America Chavez is a portal-punching Young Avenger and a hero of the Multiverse! Learn about her true beginnings in this definitive origin by creators Alex Segura, Carlos Gomez, and Bryan Valenza!
The one-shots come a few weeks before Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness releases in theaters. The film will feature the return of Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff, who was last seen in Disney+’s WandaVision, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debut of America Chavez, who will be portrayed by Xochitll Gomez.
The trailers for Multiverse of Madness have teased that Scarlet Witch may serve as more of an antihero in the sequel, if not a full-blown villain. “It’s not the most fun, in my mind, to always play the hero of a story where they do no wrong,” Olsen said. “I don’t find that interesting. I think the reason why I really enjoyed Wanda from the beginning is that she’s very clear in her beliefs. They just don’t align with others, and that’s okay. She’ll have her own realizations and admit when she makes mistakes.”
Director Sam Raimi also hinted at Wanda’s villainous turn. When asked who the main villain of the film is, he replied, “Well, there’s iterations of our characters throughout the multiverse. So, if I were to say Strange… I’m not really supposed to answer this question, but I might be saying altered Strange. Same with Wanda and Mordo. But I would say, at different times, all of the above.”
Who Is…The Scarlet Witch #1 and Who Is…America Chavez #1 are now available on Marvel Unlimited. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness opens on May 6.
