‘Maybe One Day’ – Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Reveals Life-Long Wish to Don a Powerful Marvel Character

With technology taking a constant boom, fictional characters have largely become one of the most influential entities in today’s world. While these characters primarily had their influence on children, they have now started taking over the adults as well. An example of it is Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian’s love for comics.

Scrolling through the social media posts of Ohanian, one can see his love for comic characters. Yesterday, the 14th of August, he gave another glimpse of this love. Taking to his Twitter handle, he expressed his lifelong wish to don the role of an X-Men character to a fan.

Alexis Ohanian hopes to get into the shoes of ‘Professor X’

Ohanian’s love for the character ‘Professor X’ goes back to the year 2020. On Christmas of 2020, Ohanian launched the v0 version of ‘Cerebro’. While ‘Cerebro’ rose to fame as one of the devices used in the X-Men series, Ohanian used the same name to launch his own operating system. Two years since then, Ohanian recently shared an anniversary post on his Twitter handle.

He wrote, “Christmas Day 2020, we launched v0 of Cerebro. One year ago (today) we shipped v1 of Cerebro. We’re pushing hard to ship v2 before Labor Day. Our little Operating System will turn 2 this Christmas.”

Considering the social media presence on Ohanian, it goes without saying that the Tweet, in no time, was flooded with comments. While some comments wished Ohanian for his endeavors, others expressed their wish to experience the operating system. However, in the flood of comments, a comment that took the limelight was of a user who asked Ohanian, “Does that make you Professor Xavier?”

Going through Ohanian’s social media handle, it is evident that he is a fan’s man. The founder of the venture capital firm, Seven Seven Six, makes sure to reply to his fans and followers on a regular basis. Replying to the fan, he wrote, “Maybe one day.”

The conversation did not end here. Replying further to Ohanian, the user suggested that he open a 776 academy. In addition to that, he also volunteered to offer his teachings in the academy.

Serena Williams and Ohanian soaring new heights in venture capital

Similar to his wife and tennis legend Serena Williams, Alexis Ohanian also has a soft corner for investments. In 2011, Ohanian co-founded venture capital firm Initialized Capital. Working with Initialized Capital for nine years, Ohanian opted to leave the company to start his own venture capital firm.

Having all his stars aligned, the same year Ohanian launched his own venture capital firm, 776. With Ohanian as the leader, 776 today stands tall with a portfolio of more than 60 investments. The firm had its first funding of $150 million last year, and followed it up with a latest funding round in February this year, raising a whopping $500 million.

Similarly, even before meeting her husband Ohanian, Serena had also started her own venture firm, Serena Ventures, in 2014. The company to date has invested in more than 50 companies that are founded by women or people from minority communities.
