History
Wanda arrived at Lu Xi's villa as Baron Strucker's covert envoy, seeking greater power to avenge herself on Tony Stark. She was prepared to “pay any price,” but Lu Xi immediately identified Hydra's influence and challenged her belief that Stark was responsible for Sokovia's suffering. When Wanda revealed that Strucker held Pietro captive, she accepted Lu Xi's three-month wager: if evidence proved Hydra's guilt, she would work for him; otherwise, he would help her gain strength or take revenge. Lu Xi rescued Pietro from Sokovia almost immediately, allowing the siblings to remain at his villa. 14 15
Wanda initially remained focused on revenge and even offered her soul in exchange for power. Lu Xi refused, recognizing that her true potential—and the value of a contract with her—had not yet awakened. The evidence later confirmed that Strucker orchestrated Sokovia's unrest and arms deals with Obadiah Stane. Devastated by having served the people responsible for her trauma, Wanda renounced her hatred of Tony Stark; Lu Xi healed her after she struck herself in remorse. 26 28
After joining Lu Xi's household, Wanda trained alongside Pietro, assisted Agent Hill with transaction records, and eventually moved from the annex into the villa's main building after Pietro left for S.H.I.E.L.D. She also developed romantic feelings for Lu Xi, viewing him as the person who freed her from Hydra and protected her from demonic threats. 20 36 43 51
Lu Xi later gave Wanda the Darkhold, judging Kamar-Taj magic poorly suited to her constitution but Chaos Magic highly compatible with her. Her complete awakening revealed Chthon's hidden mark within her soul: the Elder God's influence both threatened to corrupt her and made her a possible conduit for his descent. 50 71 174
During the Earth-2149 zombie invasion, Wanda fought her Universal-level zombie counterpart. Lu Xi shielded her from fatal attacks so she could observe the alternate Wanda's use of Chaos Magic and Darkhold techniques. The encounter brought Wanda to Skyfather-level and gave her crucial combat experience. 151 153 154
Wanda ultimately entered a Soul Contract with Lu Xi despite the risk that it could expose Chthon's mark. When Chthon descended through New York, Lu Xi subdued him, erased his consciousness, and instructed Wanda to absorb his dark magic. She completed the prolonged process in the Flickering Realm, annihilating Chthon and ascending to Multiversal-level First Order. 184 189 192 218
After Lu Xi fused with multiple universes and mastered the Infinity Stones' laws, he embedded the Reality Stone in Wanda's forehead. Its compatibility with Chaos Magic raised her two further tiers and enabled her to create a detailed Solar System from nothing. 228
Appearance
Wanda first appears in leather clothing with long hair described as having a slightly reddish-gold sheen. Her red Chaos Magic commonly manifests around her hands and body during spellcasting. 14 153
- Long, reddish-gold hair. 14
- Uses scarlet or dark-red magical energy. 14 153
- The Reality Stone was compressed into a small crystal and embedded in her forehead. 228
Personality
Wanda initially acts out of desperation, grief, and a single-minded desire for revenge. Hydra's manipulation leaves her suspicious and guarded, but she is willing to reconsider her beliefs when presented with evidence. Her discovery that Strucker—not Tony Stark—was responsible for her suffering fills her with guilt and deepens her loyalty to Lu Xi. 14 15 28
She is ambitious about becoming stronger and repeatedly seeks opportunities to prove useful. This eagerness is tempered by growing caution: when warned that advancing away from Lu Xi could allow Chthon to invade, she immediately withdraws her proposal to pioneer new universes. 26 126
In battle, Wanda learns quickly and can be tactically sharp. Against Zombie Wanda, she exploited her counterpart's insecurity over her appearance to keep her occupied and away from other combatants. 153
Abilities & Skills
Chaos Magic
Wanda's primary power is Chaos Magic, a highly compatible form of magic that allows her to manipulate energy, defend herself, alter reality, and grow by assimilating compatible dark power.
- Levitation and telekinesis, demonstrated by raising a lounge chair with red energy. 14
- Magical shields capable of blocking Daisy's Skyfather-level physical attacks after Wanda's advancement. 174
- Offensive barrages and Chaos-infused energy beams used against Doctor Strange during Lu Xi's cosmic-suppression test. 227
- Tactical reality interference, including secretly making the Silver Surfer's defenses brittle enough for Daisy to break through. 175
- Initially unstable after her awakening; she could not control the power without Lu Xi's intervention. 50
Darkhold Sorcery
Lu Xi gave Wanda the Darkhold because conventional Kamar-Taj magic was inefficient for her constitution, whereas Chaos Magic suited her naturally. 71 218
- Studied the complete Darkhold before the zombie invasion. 153
- Used its techniques to rapidly improve during her duel with Zombie Wanda. 153
- Her dedicated study helped raise her to the upper ranks of Skyfather-level. 174
- Other magic systems are comparatively inefficient for her; Chaos Magic remains her most effective path. 218
Chthon's Dark Magic Absorption
After Lu Xi reduced Chthon to a mindless vessel, Wanda used Chaos Magic to absorb and assimilate his dark magic.
- The process was possible only because Chthon's consciousness had been erased and could no longer direct his own power. 192
- Absorption was slow and exhausting despite the high compatibility between Chaos and dark magic. 192
- Completing the process destroyed Chthon and elevated Wanda to Multiversal-level First Order. 218
Reality Stone Integration
The Reality Stone merged with Wanda's Chaos Magic due to their shared reality-altering nature. 228
- Perceives reality as a network of branching possibilities that she can select and modify. 228
- Can turn imagined constructs into reality. 228
- Materialized a fully detailed Solar System, including planets, orbital motion, and lunar craters. 228
- Could theoretically create a universe, though one created without source power would initially be an empty shell requiring immense time to evolve. 228
Multiversal Perception
Following her absorption of Chthon's power, Wanda gained awareness beyond a single universe.
- Perceived the endless Multiverse from the Flickering Realm after reaching Multiversal-level First Order. 218
- Can participate in full-force Multiversal-level combat alongside Doctor Strange. 227
Equipment / Items
- The Darkhold — A forbidden tome supplied by Lu Xi for Wanda's Chaos Magic training. 71
- Reality Stone — Compressed into a crystal and embedded in her forehead, dramatically amplifying her reality manipulation. 228
- Soul Contract — Her binding contract with Lu Xi, made after he adjusted its terms to reduce interference with Chthon's mark. 184
Relationships
- Lu Xi / Lord Lucifer — Master, contractor, protector, and romantic partner. He rescued Pietro, exposed Hydra's deception, trained Wanda, shielded her during the zombie invasion, and cultivated her growth through Chthon's power and the Reality Stone. 15 51 153 184 228
- Pietro Maximoff — Younger brother. Wanda's concern for his imprisonment was the decisive reason she accepted Lu Xi's wager; she was heartbroken by his abused condition after his rescue. 15
- Daisy — Fellow member of Lu Xi's household and sparring partner. Daisy's angelic transformation initially made Wanda envious, but the two later developed an easy competitive camaraderie. 18 174 175
- Chthon — Elder God who marked Wanda's soul, awakened her Chaos Magic, and attempted to use her as a conduit to descend. Wanda ultimately absorbed his entire power after Lu Xi erased his consciousness. 50 174 189 218
- Zombie Wanda — Her Earth-2149 counterpart and the strongest zombie in the invasion. Fighting her provided Wanda with the techniques and pressure needed to reach Skyfather-level. 153 154
- Doctor Strange — Fellow Multiversal-level contractor and combat partner; the two fought at the edge of the universe to test Lu Xi's Cosmic Suppression Force. 225 227
Notable Quotes
“Since you say there won't be a problem, then there definitely won't be one. I believe you.” 175
“Lord Lucifer, I will definitely work hard to improve myself! I will strive to become someone truly capable of creating worlds as soon as possible.” 229
Trivia
- Lu Xi's Divine Power violently conflicted with Wanda's Chaos Magic, preventing her from receiving the angel-like transformation Daisy gained from his feather. 24
- Wanda was one of the rare potential contractors actively eager to sell her soul to Lu Xi. 154
- Her first Soul Contract was ineffective before her complete awakening because her soul had not yet become a key point in the worldline. 26 50
