Wonder Man (Simon Williams) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, he first appeared in The Avengers #9 (October 1964).[3] The character, who was initially introduced as a supervillain imbued with "ionic" energy, fought the Avengers, and, after a series of events, was reborn as a superhero, joining the team against which he originally fought.

Williams will make his live-action debut in the upcoming Disney+ original series Wonder Man, set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and portrayed by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.[4]
