Background / History

Avengers-universe Wanda

After being resurrected, Wanda remains emotionally trapped in the moment Vision died. She asks Toby whether the Infinity Stones can restore Vision, but learns that Vision cannot simply be revived because he was a new being created through JARVIS, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, and the Mind Stone. 161

Toby offers her a place in his universe, where Pietro is still alive and JARVIS can serve as a Vision-like presence. Encouraged by Natasha Romanoff and the Avengers, Wanda accepts his hand and leaves to seek a new life and family. 162

In Sokovia, she reunites with a younger Pietro and encounters her own younger counterpart. Her emotions unconsciously release Chaos Magic capable of altering reality, though the effect does not fully erupt. 169 She later embraces the Scarlet Witch identity, protects her new life, and intervenes against the Inheritor Karn when he threatens Toby. 185 186

Zombie Wanda

Zombie Wanda regains her self-awareness after the zombie crisis and attempts to use Chaos Magic to reverse the quantum virus. She fails because the infection has become too deeply rooted in reality, leaving her able only to remain mentally awake. 286

She seeks Infinity Hulk’s power to amplify her magic and restore her world. Although she agrees to become Toby’s representative in the zombie world, she secretly intends to control the power herself and prepares zombie-controlled forces, including Namor and an Asgardian army. 287 291 297

Her attempt to invade Toby’s consciousness ends disastrously. Toby traps her in a nightmare of his memories and overwhelms her with increasingly powerful memory constructs. 298 299 After Toby places a mental mark on her, he restores and enhances her Chaos Magic with the powers of the Mind and Reality Stones. 302

Cancerverse Wanda

In the Cancerverse, Wanda’s body is corrupted, but a layer of Chaos Magic keeps her soul human. She survives among twisted cancerous beings while investigating how to end the universe’s corruption. 404

Wanda identifies the imprisoned Thanos as a possible key to defeating the Many-Angled One, though she admits her conclusion is uncertain. 405 Before her soul is fully twisted, Toby extracts it from her corrupted body and later revives her in his own universe. 405 437

Sacred Timeline Wanda

After learning that other universes may contain versions of Billy and Tommy, Wanda abandons her cottage and fully assumes her Scarlet Witch form. 431 She takes Peter’s web-shooters and dimensional-travel bracelet, then travels to Earth-2149 despite the danger, declaring that she has nothing left to lose. 436

During her later invasion of another universe, Wanda uses reality manipulation, illusions, remote control, and Chaos Magic to pursue America Chavez. Her despair intensifies after Billy and Tommy reject her, causing her magic to erupt with enough force to overwhelm Black Captain Marvel and injure several Illuminati members. 491 492 494 498

Professor X pulls Wanda into a mindscape, where Toby finds the local Wanda buried beneath mental ruins and confronts the invading Scarlet Witch. Toby’s attack causes the invader to regress into a childlike state, sealing away her memories and reducing her physical form to match. 499 500 501

Appearance

Wanda’s appearance changes between universes and transformations, but she is repeatedly associated with red hair, scarlet mist, glowing red eyes, and witch-like clothing. 185 396 437

• Often wears a red or scarlet leather outfit while using Chaos Magic. 185 396 462
• The Sacred Timeline Wanda transforms from casual clothing into a dark red gown and crown when embracing the Scarlet Witch persona. 431
• Cancerverse Wanda retains a recognizable human appearance despite her scarlet eyes and corrupted state. 396 404
• Zombie Wanda is described with grayish-white skin, scarlet eyes, and red-black Chaos Magic. 453
• Following her mental regression, the Sacred Timeline Wanda physically becomes a girl around ten years old. 501

Personality

Wanda is defined by grief, attachment to family, and a refusal to remain powerless. The Avengers-universe Wanda seeks a peaceful new beginning with Pietro after losing Vision and her original family. 161 162 169

Her variants respond to loss in radically different ways. Zombie Wanda becomes calculating and manipulative in pursuit of restoring her world, while Cancerverse Wanda endures corruption through revenge and determination to end her universe’s suffering. 286 292 404

The Sacred Timeline Wanda is increasingly reckless and possessive in her search for Billy and Tommy. Her trauma over imprisonment, loss, and isolation makes threats of confinement especially painful to her. 436 494 495
