Intro

Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, is a Romani witch and twin sister of the speedster Quicksilver.[5][32][3] Once believed to have been mutant children of Magneto,[33] the twins are in truth orphans enhanced by the High Evolutionary at Mount Wundagore in Transia. The Scarlet Witch became a conduit of chaos magic, allowing her to shift probabilities and warp reality itself by casting various "hexes".[8][23] After being saved from an angry mob by Magneto, the Scarlet Witch and her brother joined the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to fight for Magneto's mutant supremacy cause.[5] Disagreeing with Magneto's ruthless approach to human hostilities towards mutants, the twins left him and joined the super-heroic Avengers instead.

Backstory

The Scarlet Witch was trained by Agatha Harkness to explore her naturally powerful magical abilities. She also had in the demon lord of chaos Chthon an archnemesis. As an Avenger, Maximoff fell in love with and married her synthezoid teammate, the Vision. In order to have a family with her artificial husband, she used her abilities to conceive two twin boys, but the spell was later broken, erasing both boys from existence, a tragedy that was accompanied by her husband being dismantled. The trauma of losing her family made her mentally vulnerable. After she attacked the Avengers twice, the group disassembled. Subsequently, in a major, erratic display of her powers, the Scarlet Witch reshaped reality under the rule of the House of M, based on Magneto's wishes. As the Avengers and the X-Men battled to restore reality, she uttered the words "No More Mutants", wiping out the super-abilities of most mutants in retaliation to Magneto's extremism. This action became known as the mutant decimation.

Powers/Abilities

Wanda Maximoff is a powerful nexus being and hex witch, wielding possibility itself through her Hexcraft, Primordial Chaos and the True Darkhold that she embodies. Chaos Magic: Wanda's unique power is the superhuman ability to wield primordial chaos,[147] the first building block of existence, a power which allows her to alter reality, wield possibility itself and control virtually all magical energies as all magic and life requires Chaos.[183] Chaos magic is oldest form of magic. It is the earliest primordial glint of cosmic understanding and happenstance, neither purely constructive nor destructive and it's not limited by good or evil. It's the possibility of both, neither and everything in between.[9] Wanda received the "blessing/curse" of the old God of Chaos, Chthon, who came to her, the day she was born,[172] which would allow her to use his chaos energy as her own, and this would increase Wanda's natural ability to wield magic. She's been stated to have unquantifiable sorcerous might and it was also stated that creation holds no locked doors for her. She herself even stated that she can bend the universe to her will.[143] Wanda was able to use her power to allow her brother to knock the Griever's essence throughout time and then she shredded the leftover pieces of her.[184]
