Real Name: Wanda Maximoff.

The daughter of Erik Lensherr, a girl named Wanda was abandoned along with her brother Pietro, ending up in the care of one of the High Evolutionary's New Men, a cow-woman naved Bova. While Wanda and Pietro were still infants, Bova failed to deliver the child borne by Robert Frank (the Whizzer)'s wife Madeline (Miss America), with both mother and child dying from the strain of labour. Bova tried to present Robert with Wanda and Pietro as being his children, but stricken with grief he instead fled, believing for years that he had shamefully left his two children behind. The High Evolutionary soon gave custody of Wanda and Pietro to a Romanian gypsy named Django Maximoff, who came to love the children as his own. When Wanda and Pietro began to approach adulthood they joined the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants under the names the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver; unbeknownst to the siblings, the team's leader Magneto was secretly their father Erik. The two eventually turned away from the team's extremist beliefs, and together they joined the Avengers, where Wanda especially flourished. Once the Vision joined the team Wanda began to have romantic feelings for the synthezoid; due to his having Simon Williams (Wonder Man)'s brain patterns, the Vision felt the same for her, but he kept his love a secret until he finally opened up during the Kree/Skrull War, nearly killing an alien who had assisted in abducting Wanda. After Wanda was rescued and the war ended the strange duo became a couple, and would eventually marry. For his part, Pietro became the husband of the Inhuman known as Crystal, and the birth of their daughter Luna finally inspired Lensherr to admit his parantage of Wanda and Pietro. Wanda was among the founding members of the Californian branch of the Avengers dubbed the West Coast Avengers, the formation of which was secretly a part of a master plan formulated by the Vision after he had become corrupted by the Titanian supercomputer ISAAC. Wanda and the Vision also managed to sire twin sons, Thomas and William, whose births were presided over by none other than Dr. Strange. Life turned tragic for Wanda soon after, beginning with the fruition of the Vision's plan to take over all of the world's computers. He was stopped and purged of ISAAC's influence, but that wasn't enough for a number of world leaders, who had the synthezoid abducted and completely disassembled. Hank Pym and the Black Panther managed to rebuild the Vision, but he was now completely devoid of emotions. When Williams refused to allow his brain patterns to be bonded to the Vision again (due to his unwillingness to transfer his love for Wanda back into another), Wanda nearly broke down mentally, dropping an entire mountain side on Williams. Things got worse shortly afterwards when, still searching for a way to recreate the Vision's emotions, Wanda was captured by the force known as That Which Endures. The consciousness began to brainwash Wanda, and even after being rescued, Wanda began to feel anti-human sentiments that even rivalled her father's beliefs. Mere days later, Wanda's tenuous mental state was completely unraveled when the true nature of her children was revealed. Thomas and William had recently begun to disappear whenever Wanda's thoughts were elsewhere, but she had irrationally denied the phenomenon, firing several nannies who tried to bring it to her attention. When Thomas and William were captured by Master Pandemonium, the West Coast Avengers pursued him, only to be treated to the horrendous sight of the children bonded to the villain, literally transformed into a pair of demonic arms. The children had in fact never existed at all, but were actually pieces of Mephisto's soul that Wanda had molded into her own forms through her growing hex powers. Driven over the edge, Wanda returned to her father's side and fought against her former teammates; although Magneto was defeated, Wanda was almost immediately abducted by Immortus, who had hoped to use her as a powerless vessel with which to regulate the divergent timelines of a seven millenia period of time. Wanda was freed from Immortus' influence by the West Coast Avengers and Agatha Harkness, who temporarily healed Wanda's mind by erasing all of her memories of her children. When the West Coast Avengers were disbanded by the East Coast branch, Wanda resigned in disgust, becoming a founding member of Force Works. She eventually mended her ties with the Avengers, and was among the members of the team who were seemingly killed in battle with Onslaught. She and the rest of the team where in fact transported to Franklin Richards' Counter-Earth, where they remained for several months. Almost immediately upon returning to Earth, Wanda was captured Morgan Le Fey, who used Wanda's power and that of the Twilight Sword to reshape the world in her own medieval image. Wracked in agony, Wanda desperately reached out, and shockingly contacted the long-deceased Simon Williams, now in a state of pure ionic energy. With the help of Williams and virtually every living Avenger, Wanda defeated Le Fey, although Williams disappeared in the Aftermath. Wanda joined the reformed Avengers and soon discovered that she could conjure up Williams just by thinking about him; as he grew more powerful he became able to form himself on his own, and with Wanda's help and her finally-admitted love for him, he soon returned to flesh and blood (or at least an ionic approximation thereof). Wanda and Williams became lovers and she soon became the deputy-leader of the team, although her authority was occasionally stepped on by Captain America and others. She also discovered that her powers had begun to increase again, as she could now absorb and reform other forms of magic. When Kang finally conquered the planet Earth, Wanda was placed in an internment camp where she served as a medic to wounded prisoners of war. Williams was later captured and sent to the same camp, and while there he and Wanda determined that they were no longer in love, resolving to remain friends. The two managed to smuggle Williams to freedom, where he helped the Earth resistance until Kang's eventual defeat. Several months later Wanda's mental state took its worst turn yet, when the Wasp inadvertently reminded her of her children. Although her immediate actions are unclear, it is known that Wanda likely killed Agatha Harkness, and she began to conjure up illusions of Thomas and William, who spoke Wanda's unconscious thoughts with her own voice. As her breakdown progressed it began to reach further outwards, with devastating results; Jack of Hearts returned from the dead and exploded on the steps of Avengers Mansion, devastating the building and causing the grizzly death of Ant-Man (Scott Lang); Immediately afterwards, the Vision crashed a Quinjet into the wreckage of the mansion before partially desolving to spawn a number of Ultron robots; She-Hulk became savage and tore the Vision in half, also critically wounding the Wasp and Captain Britain (Kelsey Leigh); Tony Stark Iron Man (then the United States Secretary of Defense) drunkenly threatened the Latverian diplomat to the United Nations, artificially intoxicated by Wanda's power; Wanda may have even precipitated the events of Ragnarok, which resulted in the death of Thor and the rest of the Asgardians. Nearly every living Avenger assembled once again (along with a few extra heroes who sought to help out), only to be met by perhaps the biggest example of Wanda's out of control power, an entire artificial Kree invasion force. After a brief but savage battle, Hawkeye sacrificed his life to take out the Kree mothership. Dr. Strange arrived shortly afterwards and determined Wanda's involvement; he also made a shocking (and dubious) announcement that the Chaos Magic that Wanda claimed to be channeling didn't even exist, although that can probably chalked up to Strange's overly melodramatic nature. The Avengers attempted to reason with Wanda but she subconsciously attacked them with doppelgangers of several absent heroes and villains, before Dr. Strange stopped her by essentially turning her brain off. Magneto immediately arrived on the scene (perhaps one last lingering effect of Wanda's power), and the Avengers relinquished custody of his daughter to him. He brought her to Charles Xavier in Genosha where the two men sought a means to return to Wanda both her mind and her sanity; While there she somehow awoke and transformed the entire world, drastically altering reality to create a mutant-dominant world. Due to Magneto's status as a world leader in this new reality it was assumed that he was responsible for the change, but it was just revealed that Wanda had in fact been influenced by her brother Pietro.

Wanda possesses the superhuman ability to alter the probabilities of any occurrence; the more unlikely the situation, the easier it is for her to make it come to pass. Her power was originally rather limited, although she began to grow in strength by studying sorcery with Agatha Harkness. At one point Dr. Strange offered to take her in as his disciple, but she turned him down, and began to learn something she referred to as "Chaos Magic". When her power was first augmented by Immortus, Wanda's ability to influence reality also began to retroactively affect the past, a marked divergence from her previous abilities. This power faded once Immortus was defeated, and his energies gradually drained from her. She was actually left completely powerless for a brief period of time, but her natural probability-altering powers returned in time. When her powers later began to increase on her own, she became able to drain other magical energies and reshape them to her will, including magical based attacks directed at her person. Following her last nervous breakdown, Wanda's powers surpassed all their previous boundaries, as they are no longer hampered by her self-imposed limitations or personal inhibitions. The current extent of her powers are unknown, but she has proven herself to be capable of affecting the entire planet.

Wanda has brown hair and either green or brown eyes. Prior to being mind-wiped by Dr. Strange she was based primarily out of New York City, although she was last known to be in Genosha.
