Marvel’s Most Infamous Power Couple is Splitting Up for the Best Possible Reason

Vision and the Scarlet Witch are splitting up again, but this time they have a reason that is better than anything else.

A preview for Vision & Scarlet Witch #3 (by Steve Orlando, Lorenzo Tammetta, Jacopo Camagni, Ruth Redmond, and VC's Travis Lanham) from Marvel Comics drops readers right into the middle of the horror that the Grim Reaper has been wreaking. In the Graverealm, the Grim Reaper stalks the halls in search of his prey, all while the heroes reconnect with Vision's long-lost son, Vin. As much as it might hurt to say so, the Vision is in no shape to fight for anyone, let alone his family. Luckily, Wanda is right there by Vision's side, and not even the Grim Reaper is a match for the fight she is about to bring his way.

Eric Williams, better known as the Grim Reaper, has been terrorizing the Marvel Universe since he made his comic book debut back in 1968's Avengers #52 by writer Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema. The brother of the future Wonder Man Simon Williams, Eric grew up a jealous and troubled child, which wasn't helped at all by his parents' constant abuse. Although he found some success as a member of the Maggia, it wasn't until he took up the mantle of the Grim Reaper that he became any kind of serious threat. After suffering a fatal fall and being subsequently resurrected, the Grim Reaper grew even more dangerous, all while acquiring his own necromantic abilities in the years that followed.

Vin Vision, like his mother Virginia and sister Viv, first appeared in the pages of 2015's Vision #1 by writer Tom King and artist Gabriel Hernandez Walta. The series introduced Vision's new family, whom he created to further humanize himself. While Virginia was modeled using the brain patterns of Vision's previous wife, the Scarlet Witch, Vin and Viv were modeled using the combined brain patterns of Vision and Virginia. At first, the family was relatively happy together, yet a series of tragedies ultimately led to the deaths of Vin and Virginia, while Viv went out into the world to find a life of her own.

In their latest team-up series, the Vision and Scarlet Witch have been drawn together by the mystery of the Death's Doors that have been appearing all across the United States. These doors hold the promise of reunions with long-lost loved ones, yet are truly a means by which the Grim Reaper has been harvesting souls for the malevolent entity known as Lloigoroth. When Vision was rescued from within one of the Death's Doors by Wanda, he emerged as a new, bluish-white version of himself, one who is now all but completely overwhelmed by his emotions at every single turn.
