In the Ultimate Marvel Universe, Wanda Lensherr Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, is the daughter of Magneto and the sister of Quicksilver. She has the ability to alter probability fields with her hexes. Wanda was a member of Magneto's team, the Brotherhood of Mutants. Following her father's apparent death, she and Quicksilver helped lead the Brotherhood for a while, attempting to steer it away from her father's mutant supremacist ideals and keeping in touch with Charles Xavier to promote a more peaceful mutant-human integration. During this time, they participated in the rescue of the Ultimate X-Men from Weapon X.

The twins even agreed to work for the Ultimates in exchange for the release of imprisoned Brotherhood members, although Nick Fury kept them in the black ops division of the team because of their terrorist past.

When Magneto returned and took back leadership of the Brotherhood, she and her brother fled to the Triskelion (homebase of the Ultimates) although their father caught up to them. Magneto injured Quicksilver for "neutering" his Brotherhood, but left Wanda unhurt. Following that, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were finally elevated to public status on the Ultimates since there was now proof that the two were loyal to the government and not to their terrorist father.

She and her brother are often depicted touching each other very intimately and performing activities that couples usually do (e.g., a gondola ride where Pietro reads romantic poetry to Wanda); that scene and the fact that they often call each other "darling" has led to fan speculation that the two share an incestuous relationship (which is more or less confirmed by the first issue of Ultimates Vol. 3). In Issue #6 of Ultimates Volume 2, writer Mark Millar alludes to her relationship with Vision; Hank Pym attempts to redeem himself by bringing two androids, named Ultron and Vision II, to the Ultimates. Wanda takes notice of Vision to which Quicksilver asks "Were you just flirting with that machine?"

Rose Tattoo had superhuman aim. She was very skilled at creating weaponry and made her own arsenal of super-powerful handguns and knives. It is uncertain what powers, if any, this incarnation of the spirit of murder possessed due of her connection to the act of murder, or if her facility for violence was supernaturally derived. It is known that a Stormwatch security guard assigned to keep her in her quarters was driven insane when Rose Tattoo spoke to him, but again it is unknown whether this was supernatural or merely a side-effect of her nature. It was, however, recorded that Rose had somehow destroyed The Eidolon, another member of The Changers, who was considered unkillable due to its unique nature as a dead spirit. It was commented upon by the first Engineer that "Rose Tattoo could kill anything."

The full extent of Rose Tattoo's new powers as the Spirit of Life have yet to be shown, but Jenny Quantum said Rose is able to cure people. Her new way of dealing with opposition in battle is unusual at best - Rose often subdues her enemies by having sex with them.

The property started in 2004 as a series of one-shots, starting with the Stefano Caselli-penciled Hack/Slash (later referred to by its story title Euthanized), followed by the Federica Manfredi-penciled Girls Gone Dead.

2005 saw the one-shots Comic Book Carnage and the series stars, Vlad and Cassie, appeared in the Aadi Salman penciled The Final Revenge of Evil Ernie. The "Hack/Slash" one shots were collected as the First Cut trade paperback in the same year. The first "Hack/Slash" miniseries debuted, Land of Lost Toys, penciled by Dave Crosland, followed by a collection of new short stories in a 2006 special issue called Trailers (featuring art by writer Tim Seeley, original penciler Casseli, Mike Norton, Skottie Young and Josh Medors).

A 25-cent preview issue giving newcomers a recap of "Euthanized" hit the markets in 2006, along with "Slice Hard", the first one-shot of 2006. Seeley penciled the new part of the preview and was one of the pencilers and inkers of the one-shot along with Mark Englert, Nate Bellgarde, Andy Kuhn and Joe Largent. The one-shot Hack/Slash Vs. Chucky, had the lead duo taking on the evil doll and was penciled by Matt Merhoff.

2007 had a Free Comic Day tie-in with Devil's Due's "Family Guy", where both books had half the issue to itself. The "Hack/Slash" section had a recap portion of the 25 cent preview issue. "Hack/Slash" graduated to an ongoing series in May 2007.

The ongoing series has included a crossover with Re-Animator, where Herbert West is tied in to her father, as well a Hack/Slash Annual collecting the webcomic featuring the SuicideGirls photo shoot.

Stjepan Sejic resides in Crikvenica, Croatia at the moment, while he was born in Vinkovci. Before he started as a comic book artist, Stjepan wanted to become a lawyer.

In 2007, Sejic signed a contract with Top Cow, where he will be doing the art for Witchblade from issue #116 to #150. After completion, it will be the longest run of Witchblade ever made by a single artist. Additionally, he illustrated the Witchblade miniseries First Born, while also contributing covers to the Top Cow series The Darkness. While working on Witchblade, his popularity grew among fans.

He also cooperates with smaller comic publishing companies such as Arcana Studio and Dynamite Entertainment. The stuff he uses to create his art are 3ds Max, Mental Ray, Photoshop and ZBrush

Before comics, Sejic worked as a night guard at a public beach, as well as selling fruit on the marketplace afterwards. He later began to think about drawing comics. Sejic was mainly inspired by Italian comic book titles before he stumbled upon a copy of Witchblade. He became fond of the characters and the artistic style, which lent inspiration to his own. His work is mostly influenced by Marc Silvestri and Michael Turner.

Sejic started his career as a colorist, painting covers drawn by Tyler Kirkham, who e-mailed him back when Sejic started sending his work around the artist community.
