**Note:**

* Before making any changes to this page, please read and follow the Power-scaling Rules for Marvel and DC Comics.
* In Uncanny X-Men #465, Wanda’s creation of the House of M reality itself was stated to be a threat to the multiverse, it was not only her mutant eradication feat.
* Scaling to Scarlet Witch should be avoided due to the variable nature of her powers and the influence of the writer(s) in how the potency of those powers are depicted.
