Background / History
Wanda was born in Sokovia in February 1990 alongside her twin brother, Pietro. During a HYDRA attack on Sokovia, Hawking saved Wanda, Pietro, and their parents from a missile strike. Hawking was subsequently adopted into the Maximoff household, becoming the dependable older brother Wanda quickly grew attached to. 2 3 297
Wanda and Pietro were identified as potential mutants when Professor X visited their home. Wanda’s early power manifested as telekinetic control over objects, while the family later relocated to the United States and enrolled the children at Xavier’s Mutant School. 5 6 17
Although she was raised by Elena and Oleg, Hawking later learned that Magneto was Wanda and Pietro’s biological father. He chose not to reveal this discovery to the twins. 85
At thirteen, Wanda began receiving additional magical instruction from Hawking. Her Chaos Magic let her bypass many ordinary magical principles, though its awakened power remained weak compared with other versions of Wanda who had endured greater trauma. 41
Appearance
Wanda first appears as a young girl in a red coat. As she grows older, she becomes more composed and elegant, wearing light makeup, a brown overcoat, and a white scarf when she reunites with Hawking at nearly seventeen. 2 297
- Red Chaos Magic manifests around her hands when using her powers. 17 42
- Her hero suit is a red Nano Vibranium design with intricate patterns, a cape, and a crown-like headpiece. 332
- The suit’s crown can extend into a partial or full facial mask. 332
Personality
Wanda is deeply affectionate and dependent on Hawking, initially viewing him as a reliable older brother and later actively pursuing a romantic relationship with him. She worries intensely whenever he enters danger and wants to remain by his side even when she is not personally interested in hero work. 17 30 86
At school, Wanda has a fierce reputation. She is willing to threaten classmates who challenge her, prank others with magic, and reject unwanted attention bluntly. In front of Hawking, however, she often acts sweet, obedient, or vulnerable. 41 42 64
She can also be possessive and calculating concerning Hawking’s relationships. Wanda intervenes when Susan Storm approaches him, later steers Susan away from Reed Richards after mistaking Susan for a potential rival, and consciously works on changing her image to attract Hawking. 127 129 130 298
Despite these traits, Wanda is devoted to her family. When Hawking warns her against becoming extreme, she affirms her belief that they will remain together; during her pregnancy, she readily accepts losing Chaos Magic to protect her children. 86 456
Abilities & Skills
Chaos Magic
Wanda’s innate Chaos Magic is an abnormal reality-affecting power described as “I think, therefore it is.” Its output depends heavily on her mental state and was initially far below that of more traumatized Wanda variants. 41
- Telekinetically levitates and manipulates objects. 5 17 42
- Applies multidirectional pressure comparable to gravity training. 42 52
- Uses red energy offensively to intimidate or confront opponents. 42 64

- Casts the Snot Curse as a prank or threat. 42
- Uses the Unlocking Charm. 156
- Developed enough magical skill to acquire Shunpo, though she initially could not carry passengers with it. 297
Enhanced Physiology
Hawking used Supreme Power to reinforce Wanda’s body and preserve her physical condition. 447
- Possesses stamina and recovery far beyond an ordinary human. 447 449
- Remains physically capable of keeping up with Hawking after continued enhancement. 470

- Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver — Twin brother; they frequently bicker, but remain close family. 2 83 298
- Elena Maximoff — Mother who raised Wanda; supports Wanda’s hoped-for future with Hawking. 3 86
- Oleg Maximoff — Father who raised Wanda and Pietro. 3 85
- Magneto — Biological father of Wanda and Pietro, a fact Hawking discovers but does not disclose to them. 85
- Huo Shui and Huo Mu — Wanda and Hawking’s fraternal twin children. 456 470
- Susan Storm — Initially treated by Wanda as a possible romantic rival; later becomes her sister-in-law after marrying Pietro. 127 129 470
- Chthon — Source of her Chaos Magic; his avatar attacks after Hawking removes that power from her. 456
Story Role / Major Arcs
Mutant School Years
Wanda enters Xavier’s Mutant School with Pietro and Hawking, where she begins training her telekinesis and Chaos Magic. Her desire to become an X-Man is driven primarily by wanting to fight alongside Hawking. 6 17
Training Partnership with Hawking
Wanda becomes Hawking’s daily training partner by applying Chaos Magic as gravity-like pressure. The arrangement improves Hawking’s cultivation while pushing Wanda to develop her control and endurance. 42 52
Romance with Hawking
Wanda’s feelings for Hawking become increasingly overt through her jealousy, possessiveness, and repeated attempts to gain his attention. Hawking eventually acknowledges that his feelings have shifted beyond those of an older brother, and the two confirm their relationship. 127 133 157 306
Hero Career and Separation
Wanda and Pietro transfer to a nearby high school and become part-time trainee heroes. Hawking provides Wanda with a customized battle suit before leaving Earth for three years, promising that he will marry her upon his return if she is still willing. 298 332
Marriage and Motherhood
After Hawking returns, Wanda proposes an immediate marriage, which he accepts. She later becomes pregnant with fraternal twins; to protect the children from Chthon’s influence, she agrees to let Hawking remove her Chaos Magic. 439 456
Seven years later, Wanda and Hawking raise Huo Shui and Huo Mu, whose unusual inherited bloodlines allow them to develop extraordinary powers from early childhood. 470
Multiversal Counterpart
A distinct Wanda from the Movie Main Universe uses Dream Walking to possess this Wanda’s body while searching for a happier life and family. Her actions reveal the contrast between the primary Wanda’s stable family life and the counterpart’s losses. 471 472
After following the counterpart back to her universe, Hawking removes the Darkhold’s influence from her mind and offers to help her find real children from another universe and restore her lost family where possible. 473
