~ Wanda Maximoff |
Wanda Maximoff is a member of the Avengers, world's mightiest heroes. She controls Chaos Magic, a magic that can manipulate probability and warp reality itself. While most of the time she is a hero, sometimes she becomes a villain either by being possessessed, manipulated, or by her own choice. This page will only include her most henious actions that she commited by her own free will.
When she was married with Vision, she somehow gave birth to twins despite the fact Vision is a robot. Those kids was later revealed to be the soul pieces of Mephisto that shatter after Franklin Ricard used his power to destroy him. The twins eventually reabsorbed by reformed Mephisto.
To relive her of her pain Agatha Harkness use her magic to erase Wanda memory of her sons which causes Mephisto to be destroyed again at least temporary. Agatha and Avengers hidden this fact until one day Janet Van Dyne accidentally reminded her of the existence of her sons. This leds to Wanda depression and eventually Avengers Disassemble and House of M. End in the depowering of 98 percent of mutant populations, death of some Avengers members, and Wanda disappearing.
Unknown to everyone. Her sons still exist and reincarnated in separate families. She would reunite with them, but she would have a long road to redeem herself for what she done to mutantkind.

- When Avengers and X-Men decided to confront Wanda at Genosha, Pietro feared they will kill her. So he asked Wanda to change the reality to make everyone happy. To do this she needed to know what makes everyone happy, so she absorbed Professor X's telepathy power.
- She rewrite reality into House of M. Because Magneto greatest wish is to make Mutants the dominant race, majority of population in this world are mutants which would drive baseline humans to extinction if things did not turn back to normal.
- When Magneto killed Pietro out of anger for manipulated Wanda. She revive him and blaming her father for being abusive, care about mutants race more than his family, calling that she and her family and the rest of the mutants as a freak. To punished her Father, Wanda casted the spell "No More Mutants" return reality back to normal but strip 98 percent of mutants population their power.
- M-day spell indirectly killed hundred to thousand of mutants either by them die during using their powers, can't stay alive without power.
- The rest that survive being hunted down even some depowers, showing that Wanda solution doesn't stop the bigotry toward mutants.
- Those who didn't die experience hardship and emotional trauma. There were millions of mutant even after Cassandra Nova use sentinel to attack Genosha and kill majority of mutant population. Which mean Wanda indirectly cause suffering to millions of people.
- While Dr. Doom is the one that made her get a power boost from life force, he did not predict the damage that she will cause, as he only wanted to use her power to conquer the world and make it a better place.
- In Children Crusade, Dr. Doom claimed that he manipulated all of Wanda's actions, but it is never confirmed to be true. It is also possible that Dr. Doom lied to take all the blame because he loved Wanda.
- In Uncanny Avengers. She was approach by Rogue when she visit Charles Xavier grave. While she claim she accept her responsibility, she say Cyclops should take it too, Which is unfair because Cyclops was possessed by Phoenix Force when he kill Professor X.

- When Jean Grey giving Wanda past self memory from outside perspective which is uncomplete, she subconsciously manifested 3 monsters from her guilts which attacked Krakoa.
- After defeated monsters and regain all memory. She put the blame of her death on Toad, her old teammate. Which lead to him be imprison under Krakoa. Although she say she don't want him to be punished and Toad is willingly accept it for Magneto and Wanda.
- While she is not as heinous as Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, Cassandra Nova, or Dark Phoenix, she still passes the heinous standard compare to other minor X-Men villains with lower resources and times.

- Having her married life destroy and her kids taken away by the result of Immortus manipulating the even that lead to Vision dismantle and recreated without emotions, which cause their sons to start fading away, make them weak enough to be reclaim by Mephisto.
- Immortus doing this because he and time keepers fear the power of her kids would cause the problem. While their fear is not unreasonable as it will be prove later that one of Wanda son Billy is indeed powerful, this doesn't justify their action at all.

- She and Hope Summer would combine their power using Phoenix Force and Chaos Magic to increase the mutants population on earth back to normal level at the end of event Avengers vs X-Men.
- While her tragedy of losing her sons is not a justification to put her wrath on Avengers or Mutants race. It still play for sympathy and is never subvert.
