If we are guided only by what we have seen of Scarlet Witch in Marvel Studios productions, surely many fans do not know the consequences it has within the universe of characters because it is, without a doubt, one of the most powerful that exists, the only surely capable of eliminating entire worlds with almost the same power as Thanos himself: with a simple snap. That is why if you want to meet the real Wanda Maximoff, we are going to recommend you to read some very special comics.
The hidden face of the character
As we told you, after the UCM movies and the Disney+ series, we have in mind a girl who still seems to not understand the powers she possesses and the repercussion that this can have on the future of the universe. But with the end of WandaVision and, above all, the premiere of Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (which arrives in May 2022), it seems clear that he will finally understand and fully develop all his abilities, which seemed to be asleep. and that they came to mean that they gave her the name of “destroyer of worlds” in the comics.
That is why we are going to recommend you to read some comics that can better situate Wanda’s role in the Marvel universe and the repercussions that it could have if all her power were suddenly unleashed. Do you think there would be a counterweight in the world to avoid the disasters that it can trigger? Well, we are going to consult the original sources, those stories that are guiding the team led by Kevin Feige within Marvel Studios.
These are the comics you should read to get to know the character better.
X Men
Although it may seem incredible to you, Wanda Maximoff is a mutant and, in addition, the daughter of Magneto . So her beginnings have a lot to do with her status as a villain who faces Professor X and other heroes of the X Patrol that you all have in mind. If you want to know more, go to number #4.
avengers disassembled
This collection is one more demonstration of the enormous power that Scarlet Witch holds and that provokes the suspicion of those around her, since they will soon realize how little they can do against her. Even so, we will get to know in this volume by Brian Michael Bendis one of the powers that we saw in the Disney+ series, the one that allows him to modify reality, or in English known as reality-bending, which modifies people’s perception of reality that surround her.
avengers
In volume 10 Wanda is part of the group of superheroes , which originates in the comics a more than interesting explanation about the nature of Scarlet Witch’s enormous powers. We must remember that it is, together with these Avengers, where the character forges his greatest feats, so this reading will also help us to know what the role of Agatha Harkness was as a mentor. In any case, it will be with this group of heroes that we will be able to know his true love story with Vision.
Scarlet Witch
As an independent figure, Scarlet Witch has not had many complete series of her own as in the case of other heroes, although in 2015 15 issues of one appeared that did focus on the story of the recently (at that time) discovered character for the UCM. The result is a return to the origins of Wanda Maximoff and the explanation of why her enormous magical powers.
West Coast Avengers
In issue #51 we’ll get a chance to meet a Scarlet Witch who isn’t always focused on the good and can easily lean into what someone would call the “Dark Reverse of the Force.” In this comic, Marvel shows us what he is capable of when he discovers the true nature of his children. In this issue Magneto returns to Wanda’s life in a delivery that we can define as “darker than scarlet”.
