Wanda's origin has been retconned so many times. You are amazing for being able to keep up with it all. Great job.

I think I got a brain agnurisim. This backstory is incredibly complicated. Honestly I like the idea of Wanda and Pietro being Magneto's biological kids.

I really despised the retcon of Quick Silver and Scarlet Witch from being Mutants and Magneto's children to what it's become as or recent.

These retcons are getting ridiculous. Pietro literally looks just like Magneto, with the speed of The Whizzer---but he's not related to either? Perhaps the High Evolutionary spliced DNA from both men into him as a baby. Maybe Quicksilver will have a secondary mutation and develop magnetic powers as well . . . Either way, you did a magnificent job navigating this maze of retcons!

Wanda and Pietro will always be Magneto's kids to me.

Oh Mercy! This is the most tangled and reconned backstory of all time I think! Every time someone has a new idea they add it on. They can't make up their mind who her parents really are! This has driven me crazy over the years! Great job on the Video MM! That is no easy story to tell!

Not going to lie, I’d be more scared of a cow woman than my superpowered husband. JS

We love a queen that can alter and warp our reality ❤

Damn, Wanda and Pietro's origin story is convoluted. Yet also pretty cool. I'm not sure who I prefer as their biological parents, but the lore with High Evolutionary and Chthon make it one hell of a saga.

Captain Marvel: "I'm the most overpowered character in the MCU and I'm a woman!" Scarlet Witch: "Bitch, PLEASE!"

Pretty good stuff, I am glad you went into details like her history with Whizzer and the story of Nights of Wundagore, a shame some people know nothing about her beyond her being Magneto's kids.

After so many decades of writing the character and numerous ret-cons it seems like a telenovela right now :D Congratulations for putting that mess into a coherent story ;)

Stan Lee said in a later interview, that he had not originally intended for Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch to be Magneto's children. That happened later.

Awesome video! You should make a second part, explaining the House of M, where Wanda creates an alternate reality with Vision, and they have kids, who are Wiccan and Speed, and how she creates a world where mutants rule, until she loses her mind and starts destroying everything when her kids are taken away by Mephisto

For gods sake, we all know that Wanda and Pietro are the twin children of Magda and Magneto

I love her so much, of all the heroes out there she’s the most realistic with real issues, I was never into comics, my dad was but I was never in love with them, I just loved wanda forever.

Thank you for making her origin make sense 😅😅😅

Exceptional job stitching together That little sideshow of a retconned retcon's retcon. I must've read that original origin comic a hyperbolic amount of times. Hyper. Bolic.

Man , Wanda aka Scarlett Witch had a screw up life and I feel really sorry for her, poor Wanda, couldn't catch a break for nothing and neither could her brother

Thanks for the invaluable index of source material!

Merry Marvelite your channel amazes. I would love to see a history of the villain known as Silver Mane. It would probably be short. Then again, your Hammer Head video was surprisingly substantial. Thanks again.

Love the magical wanda maximoff Elizabeth Olson plays her on the movie avengers she was amazing my favorite witch of all in marvel and is Magneto's daughter

So Wanda the daughter of long line of Scarlet Witches was born a witch. Then a démon god gave her more power. Then she's also mutant. Powerful AF basically. Id rather her just be a witch but I love her story as tragic as it is.

Very helpful!!

I get the feeling Bova will return as midwife to fob someone else's children on somebody. "I'm sorry dear ... you didn't bear a human child, but you birthed these lovely kittens!"

Marvel Comics has convoluted the twins origin SOOO MUCH , Wanda & Pietro has born 3 times! Their mothers 👩 always look alike!! They suppose to be Mutants children of Magneto nowadays they are something else entirely

Good video

such a great character .

Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman?

Man, Bova has seen some shit.

Well. This actually makes more sense for Wandas powers, than to be Magneto's child. But not Quicksilver. Quicksilver really looks like Magneto's son!

One of my super crushes.

Some one explain that Wanda unconsciously with her chaos magic powers change her and her brother linkage to Magneto's. That she wanted to be some else child. So what happened to child that Magneto's wife gave birth to?.

SCARLET WITCH MCU SAGA: CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR AVENGERS: ENDGAME \WANDAVISION/ DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

She went from a villain to a hero. 😀👍

YIKES! Do you mean some later "writer" UNDID the story wbere Wanda and Pietro were the children of MAGNETO?? Thzt's another reminder of why I stopped readinv mainstream comics! The constant retconning and rebooting, whether the earlier story was bad or good!

Can you do history of Abigail Brand and the organization known as S.W.O.R.D?

Can you do history of Crescent, Morgan_Le_Fey, White Fox and Luna Snow?

I hate when origins get ret connen. They're magnetos kids

Scarlet Witch is an awesome mutant can't wait to see Wandavision next week.

So, pretty straightforward...

Can you do history of Firestar and Vance_Astrovik AKA Justice?

IDC what Disney says, Wanda and Pietro are mutants and the children of Magneto.

Fox who owned the right to the word "mutant", prevented it's use in the Marvel Universe. 10:18 When the twins were introduced in "Age of Ultron", they could not be called mutants. It's why the twins father was not Magneto BUT in the original canon Magneto and Magda are the parents of Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch.

What would happen if we saw the High Evolutionary create another Scarlet Witch who's origins is similar to the comic book Scarlet Witch in the MCU?

Can u do an episode of winter guards or episode of every member of it pls

I would like to hear about the Marvel hero slap stick.

Are you going to do the history of Quicksilver in your next video?

A character that rarely ever appears as a major player in marvel comics(Outside of the Evolutionary War),The High Evolutionary will soon released as an action figure. But continue overlook Owen Reece aka The Molecule Man? I want my molecule man figure.

WOW! And I thought DC's Power Girl & Huntress had the worst "RET-CONVOLUTED" origins!

LOVE IT...COMIC BOOK TRUTH...I'M O.G. AND GLAD TO SEE REAL DEAL ..I BOUGHT COMICS WHEN THEY 10 CENTS..🕵

I'm huge fan of the Scarlet Witch I She gets her own Trilogy in the MCU soon

I am incredibly confused

U have returnnneedd

Can you do Vision origin video

The more I learn of Scarlet Witch, the more similar she becomes to a supervillain.

Is it just me , or does anything involving the High Evolutionary always complicated ?

Im pretty sure Bova is actually morgan le fay aka the Morrigan.. just like the Morrigan in actual mythos came to cuchulain as a cow.. I think merlin is actually mephisto.. I think mephisto comes in many forms.. Wanda and pietro may be twins but they do have different fathers.. according to marvel igraine existed before the cataclysm and sinking of Atlantis.. it was merlin who saved igraine and a baby morgan who went on to become the witch queen we all know.. I think morgan knew of the scarlet witch in the days of Camelot hundreds of years before she was even born.. as morgan trapped chthon in wundagore in the first place after summoning him.. simultaneously binding chthon with the creation of the darkhold.. that was all part of the spell.. by binding chthons scrolls into a single book.. and creating "the darkholders".. people seem to forget the significance of shape shifters.. and when they have sexual relations with in the form of other actual people it can make their parentage a bit confusing.. the whole reason dr doom sought out morgan le fay help reclaiming his mother's soul from mephisto.. is also directly tied to wandas backstop and her mother Natalya being the previous scarlet witch.. you have to understand magic to understand the significance of the color designation.. scarlet is not crimson.. is not magenta.. every color has a different energy.. they are servants of mephisto.. the color scarlet represents unnatural love affairs.. Google scarlet in auras and maybe you will understand the scarlet witch a bit better.. morgan le fay was supposed to be a scarlet witch.. but you cannot sacrifice a goddess.. Wanda is the second incarnation of the true scarlet witch as in she was supposed to be sacrificed just like morgan but also wasn't for a different reason.. see Agatha Harkness is the crone.. morgan is the mother and Wanda is the maiden.. the triple goddesses aka the fates... they are more powerful than any god.. they are the creators of even the gods "fates".. not their destinies.. that is choice.. each person's individual choice.. but their fates are all determined by the fates.. hence death.. Wanda's mother was a servant of mephisto.. but she was also a witch and morgan was already the mother of all witches in a sense.. and the high priestess.. the lord and lady of magic would be mephisto and morgan.. so wandas parents are actually morgan le fay and mephisto as her parents bodies were merely empty vessels waiting to be filled with spirit.. morgan not only can shape-shift she can Astral project and even possess people.. she can literally be multiple places at once.. wandas twins being conceived of magic is exactly how they were born as well.. this is why their back story has been retconned so many times.. like I said they may be twins but their fathers are different.. they aren't identical twins.. they come from 2 different eggs.. anywho.. morgan le fay was working with the high evolutionary in a way.. More so via manipulation.. because she wanted the perfect host just as chthon saw Wanda as the perfect host and imprinted on her.. anywho.. Wanda is not technically a human or a mutant or a witch.. she's more than a goddess. . And many have tried to manipulate her for the fact she is but one of the fates with amnesia essentially.. imagine her being the goddess and dealer of your own fate.. how you die.. but she has forgotten her own truth as she is but a baby norn who can't remember her previous life.. this is the fate of the fates.. agatha should eventually die and become the next scarlet witch in a way.. and Wanda will move on from the position of maiden to mother and eventually crone.. they are immortal.. forever dying and being reborn.. you can't actually kill them unless you can destroy time.. anywho that's why the wanda is the true scarlet witch.. you cannot kill a norn.. and scarlet witches are known to die.. because those presented to the God and goddess aka lord and lady are not the true incarnations.. hence why they died.. they cannot be sacrificed.. it's it's instinct and their magic manifests to protect themselves. . Being that merlin was supposed to be the one who sacrificed morgan and chose not to knowing who she was and what would end up happening as in he would die instead of her and she would absorb his mana or magical energy.. that alone disrupted the fates.. the gods having feared the fates and knowing their judgment could mean their end.. and like Dr doom manipulating wanda.. and merlin manipulating morgan.. Agatha was the only one if the fates who retained true memory of who and what they are.. and although the eldest of the sisters being the wisest she also suffered from loss of memory.. since the gods sought immortality and the only way to achieve that was to confuse the fates.. Agatha went into hiding.. and in doing so she couldn't pass on the knowledge before dying and being reborn.. without that cycle of awakening that genetic memory into conscious memory the end result was the norns aka the fates being manipulated and the creation of the multiverse.. because without the fates keeping the timeline secure by certain people dying when they were supposed to.. branches grew on the timeline.. now instead of a singular thread of fate for certain characters there was multiple threads being woven into the same tapestry.. anywho.. I could go on but I do believe to truly understand wandas origin you have to go before Wanda ever existed.. in this incarnation.. and in my personal opinion.. many of these characters are the same character nit just for the fact these comics have been passed onto different writers.. and copyright holders.. but it was an attempt to recreate that lost character without copyright infringement.. some characters like morgan are open source material.. while others are owned.. and even though the character goes from one comic book owner to another the character essentially stays the same.. like how many of marvels characters were inducted into marvel.. and vice versa.. when marvel almost went bankrupt or did or sold off its stock to let's say disney.. because let's be honest marvel is officially dead.. it's now disney... so anyways that's why hela and morgan and mystique all have similar looks and identities.. so this is why I say morgan le fay is actually many different characters in marvel.. because just as in history and real life.. the fates whom these characters are based on are older than comics themselves and known by many cultures by different names.. just Google morgan le fay and the fates.. you will get a list of names morgan is also known as morgue mordron Madrona matrona matron aka mother.. isn't it funny how morgan is the mother of the darkhold and one of her forms is a raven.. and look at mystique.. her backstory is just as much of a mystery.. they wear the same skull belt mystique real name is raven darkholm.. etc etc.. very comparable... because they are the same character essentially.. with marvel having to create similar characters to the ones they sold off then reconsolidating... I mean think about it.. even morgans back story has been changed... if marvel was smart they would learn how to consolidate all these characters without having to kill them off.. and I wish they would.. it's not impossible and in fact can be easily done.. they already set the stage.. but are they creative enough to do so... like I say these characters existed before marvel comics and have many iterations throughout our real life history.. I mean what is Thor without ragnorak ?

Honestly Chthon should be Wanda's father but Peitro should still be a mutant because you can't just experiment on new born baby's because they don't have immune systems so that makes no sense. It should be that Natalya Maximoff and Magda are the same person but different aliases. Natalya was pregnant with Peitro but because of magic Natalya ended up carrying twins instead of just one child. So after giving birth Natalya fled to get some answers and then learned that Wanda was placed in her womb by Chthon and was killed by one of his servants. So in short this makes Peitro a mutant and Magneto's son again but still leaves Wanda unrelated to Magneto but still Peitros twin.

The only reason why Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are not Magneto's biological children anymore is due to the fact that the time Fox Studios owned the rights to the X-Men characters. Joe Quesada the head of Marvel is very Petty that's why he made the retcon happen that's why he depowered the mutants and tried to have the Inhumans take over. He broke up the Fantastic Four and made Spiderman and MJ get divorced

This should be a point of shame, to Hollywood. Stan Lee, Jack Kirby etc...can come up with all these complex story lines, fifty years ago....

So if Wanda is not a mutant how did Rogue once absorb her power? When Rogue got Wanda's power she call it stupid and said that all it did made her hands glow red LoL. Wanda told her because you lack imagination.

That's it Magneto gonna have to go on Maury show 🤭 we need answers ☺️😅🤣

you need to be doing audiobooks for major publishers (if you aren't doing this already for a living)

one note: now it is discovered Wanda's abilities are genetic - inherited from her mother with augmentation by High Evolutionary.

can you do a video when spider man got 6 arms?

Ahhhhhh my head

Can you do the origins of loki since the trailer for his show was just released?

So basically "Watch the baby, the baby is under the cup, where is the baby" :P

Did I just hear two divergent backstory's in the first four minutes?

Why is it that the people with the most retcon's to there family are the X-Men?

I watched this because I knew scarlet witch was originally in xmen then got her rights from fox shared to Disney with quicksilver also I wanted to watch this because I wanted to see how people reacted to her as a mutant

I want them to be mutant

Captain America orgin story

Can you do Ultragirl next?

Scarlet Witch is my favourite female Marvel hero.

I HAAAAAATE that they were changed from being Magneto’s children so much 😩

Also I understand now, why Magneto is so evil and hates humans

About the issue of magneto being no more their father.. I just think that, as with hom and decimation and several other occasions, she just rewrote reality.. Her desire was to distance herself from magneto.. So the hex she used backfired and she recreated her lineage. So magneto is their father but she unconsciously made for him not to be it anymore..

So the real question is how old is wanda?

A retcon i cant get behind, they are Magneto’s kids

Thought it was was Wanda Pietro and Polaris that was Magneto's kids. Want Polaris Magda's other child?

The wizzer..

Damballah?! So we got some Chucky shit going on in Wanda’s backstory? Lol

she destroyed Mutant kind!!!

i know im late to comment but anyone here after wandavision ep9?

As usual the high elvolutionary has something to do with it

Next up... Quicksilver Origins. (On Sep 15.)

Why am I hearing Skyrim background music??!??!

I would cast a half white half Gypsy actress as her and Pietro

I don't care how much they changed her story, to me she will always be magneto's daughter 😤

I was wrong. Magneto wasn't their father!

Sounds like Wanda's real father is the high evolutionary himself, no?

Can you make a video on Her/Kismet/Ayesha?

Disney could just make this a movie as is and bank

I have no idea what MARVEL did with their movies... And don't misunderstand me, I'm not hating, I'm just a bit confused as in why they put a Quicksilver and a Scarlet Wich in the MCU Avengers movie with Ultron BUT Also JUST a Quicksilver in the X-Men movies... It took me so long until I realised this and since then I can't stop thinking about this xd

So is Wanda considered a gypsy?

Are we going to see Scarlet Witch as powerful as her Comic Book counterpart in the MCU and that too in the WandaVision TV show? Will Adam Warlock be as powerful as her in the MCU?

Is it only me that’s so confused 😅😂🤣
