## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

**Chaos Magic:** Wanda's main power is the superhuman ability to manipulate the powerful magic known as Chaos magic which allows her to alter reality and control various forms of mystical energy.Wanda received the “blessing” of the old God of chaos, Chthon, who came to her, the day she was born, which would allow her to use his chaos magic as her own and this would increase Wanda’s natural ability to magic. It was later revealed that Chthon has never wanted to “bless” Wanda with his magic, but to use her as a “vessel” that he could one day possess, when she was a full-grown adult and reached her Full Potential, though his schemes to do so were foiled by the Avengers.

**Magic:** Wanda also possesses the ability to manipulate magic. Wanda has inherited her witchcraft powers from her true mother, who is the original Scarlet Witch, who hails from a long line of sorcerers, meaning that Wanda was born a human with the affinity to control magic, allowing her to use the witchcraft she was born with and that her powers were never gave to her by the High Evolutionary as it was believed rather, he had altered her so Wanda is more receptive to magical energy. She stated that her magic is far from chaotic, and that her witchcraft powers and intensity are linked to the energy of earth and womankind. She's feared and famed as one of the most powerful magic users on the planet. She was even chosen to be one of the candidates as the next Sorcerer Supreme.

She is actually considered the very Nexus Being of the central universe of Earth-616, serving as the entity that personifies the realm's character and serves as the focal point or anchor of that reality (Uatu described a nexus-being as one of the "rare individual entities with the power to affect probabilities-and thus the future"), making her along the scales of class and power as the other known nexus-beings.[*citation needed*] As a Nexus Being, Wanda is also a living focal point for earth's mystical energies and she belongs equally to all possible timelines -- all realities and divergences. The Scarlet Witch was trained by Agatha Harkness, who taught her how to control and use her powers for many mystical purposes.

* **Astral Projection:** Wanda possess the ability to project her spirit or astral body out of her physical body in order to travel into the spirit world or the astral plane. She still can cast hexes in her astral form.

Wanda has shown that her energy blasts can knock out god-like beings.

* **Energy Absorption:** Wanda has shown the ability to absorb and channel energy.

	+ **Elemental Manipulation:** She has an affinity with natural elements and phenomena and she stated that power over natural elements (wind, earth, water, and fire) comes more easily to her, stemming largely from her magical training under Agatha Harkness. She once manipulated the earth, air, and water around her to form a massive wall big enough to contain a deadly and infectious gas cloud that was hundred of miles wide. Wanda can manipulate and control the elemental forces, such as: The four elements, temperature, light, electricity, ice and vegetable life.
	+ **Atmokinesis:** Wanda has the power to influence and control the weather, creating rain in a certain area.

* **Power Augmentation:** Wanda can enhance, increase and boost the powers of others, so that her targets reach a level of power that is usually beyond their limits alone. She has temporarily increased Quicksilver's powers to the point that he could run at the speed of light. Wanda also has temporarily empowered Wonder Man to the point that he could defeat Morgan Le Fay, who had the Twilight Sword and Norn Stones, and had used those items to warp reality on a planetary scale at least. If necessary, Wanda can increase her own speed.

* **Power Bestowal:** Wanda is able to give powers to others and control them. She once gave several mutants back their powers , one of them being Rictor, who were affected after the Decimation.

* **Power Negation:** Wanda is able to cancel other powers. In the "House of M", Wanda uttered three words "No More Mutants" which depowered 986,618 mutants, and even killed.

* **Reality Warping:** Wanda has been stated as one of the world's greatest and most dangerous reality warpers. Wanda can warp reality at will to inflict confusions and mental trauma on her opponent as well as attack her target. For example, Wanda was able to warp reality in a large area and turned it into a Nazi nightmare.
	+ **Creation:** Wanda has the ability to create anything and everything from nothing or to replicate and multiply any existing thing or being. She has reality warped into existence a horde of androids out of thin air. She has replicated the germs in Wrecking Crew's body to make them sick.
	+ **Erasure:** Wanda can disintegrate and erase person or object from existence, like she did to a giant mudslide monster or when she obliterated multiple dark creatures that were unconsciously created by the new wielder of the Reality Stone, Ripley Ryan.
	+ **Illusions:** Wanda can project realistic physical illusion into reality in order to inflict confusion or to fool her enemies, as she did to Emerald Warlock to make him believe that he had accomplished to kill her.

	+ **Resurrection:** Wanda's reality warping powers allows her to bring and reanimate the dead back to life. When she tried to resurrect the dead mutants of Genosha, the mutants became undead Zombies with decaying flesh and limited thinking. Prior to this, Wanda was able to resurrect Wonder Man from the dead. Doctor Doom, who had stolen a fraction of Wanda's powers, was also able to resurrect Cassie Lang.\*
	+ **Transmutation:** Wanda's reality warping allows to turn, transmute and alter anything into anything else. For instance, she has changed her clothes instantly, and Dormammu once used her powers to essentially turn vast amounts of people across the globe into Mindless Ones esque beings. Her witchcraft also allows her to cause transformations.

* **Solid Energy Constructs:** Wanda has displayed the ability to turn her magical energy into tools, objects, weapons, and other items to suit her needs. She has created a shield, sword, knife, sharp whips and other projectiles, weapons and constructions of mystical energy.

* **Spells and Phrases**: Wanda has a vast knowledge of mystical spells and incantations invoking names and aspects of various extra-dimensional objects, beings and sources of power. Although Wanda has shown the ability to cast "spells" by only saying or focusing on what she wants to happen, this could be related to the nature of her powers. Wanda has cast many different spells including, but not limited to:[*citation needed*]
	+ **Scrying Spell:** Wanda was able to create a reddish bubble with which she could see what was happening in Wakanda and communicate with Shuri from a distance.
	+ **Spell Negation:** Wanda has the ability to nullify spells and their effect. She was able to reverse, dispel, and undo her own spell that nullified mutants' powers in the House of M reality in order to give them their powers back, one of them being Rictor.

	+ **Portal Creation:** She can create portals and gates in order to transport to another location. She has created 2 portals at the same time by using a spell.
	+ **Dimensional Travel:** Wanda has shown the ability to teleport or travel through dimensions. She has teleported to the Witches' Road, a plane of existence where only sorcerers can tread.

* **Witch Sight:** As a witch, Wanda can see things beyond what normal humans can. Wanda was able to see an enhanced and invisible Man-Bull. She was also able to see Agatha Harkness's spirit and Moondragon's psychic assault which had been stated that no human eye could.

* **Probability Manipulation:** Wanda has been stated as a probability manipulator of the highest order. Initially, Wanda had the ability to manipulate probability via her "hexes" (often manifesting physically as "hex spheres" or "hex bolts") which manipulated energy fields and matter to varying degrees, and could disrupt time. These hexes were initially short range, and were limited to her line of sight. Casting a hex would initially require a gesture and concentration on her part, though the gestures were largely a focus for the concentration.[*citation needed*] Early in her career, her hexes were unconscious, and would be automatically triggered whenever she made a particular gesture, regardless of her intent.[*citation needed*] These hexes would only manifest as "bad luck," triggering negative effects. She later gained enough control over her powers that they only worked when she wanted them to, and they were not limited to negative effects.[*citation needed*] Wanda can use her hexes to cause a wide variety of phenomena, including, but not limited to:
	+ Spontaneous combustion or melting.
	+ Rapid or spontaneous decaying, breaking, healing, or fixing.
	+ Molecular destabilization.
	+ Energy control, transference, disruption, amplification, transmutation, and absorption.
	+ Inertia redirection, amplification, disruption, and transference.
	+ Lighting flammable objects.
	+ Containing or removing air from a particular volume.
	+ Cancelling and controlling others powers and abilities.
	+ Stopping the momentum of projectiles.
	+ Blocking, unlocking, closing and opening doors, objects and technological devices.
	+ Exploding and summoning objects.
	+ Creating force fields.
	+ Deflecting normal, physical and magical attacks.
	+ Negating or distorting physical laws and manipulating physical forces.
	+ Altering, affecting, and controlling matter, the molecular composition and physical state/form of physical objects.
	+ Causing various forms of energy to spontaneously appear or disappear.
	+ Altering size and gravity, as well as manipulating weather and technology.
	+ Animating stuff, sustaining the atmosphere, and creating smoke.

Her powers, while beginning to unveil a higher potential, appeared capable of prevailing against the mastered mystical power of Dormammu in his own Dark Dimension when she and the Avengers fought against him for Avalon's Evil Eye, albeit indirectly by disrupting the energies of Dormammu and the Eye. She has trained often at using her hexes to deflect projectiles or to cause enemies to stumble or otherwise suffer the effects of "bad luck." This makes her one of the few Avengers that Ultron fears as his adamantium shell cannot repel magic. Wanda can also project very powerful blasts, orbs, waves, and beams of hex energy for a different purpose, such as to destroy or hit objects or people with a great force, illuminate an area, etc, as well as, generate energy constructions such as force fields or screens of hex energy.

### Abilities

**Expert Combatant:** Wanda has been trained in hand-to-hand combat by both Captain America and Hawkeye. She often combines her physical combat with her magic.

**Expert Tactician & Leadership:** Wanda is skilled in the planning and execution of tactics, when sane, with this coming from the experience and leadership skills gained through years of active duty as an Avenger.

**Meditation:** Wanda can enter and achieve oneness with her spiritual essence as well her mind, making her able to develop a high-level consciousness over bodily processes, as well as reduce stress and pain in the body. She is also able to detach herself from worldly concerns, achieve spiritual enlightenment, and gain control of all of her abilities.

**Multilingual:** Wanda is fluent in several languages include English, French, and German, with at least some knowledge of Greek and Slorenian, however, in the case of the latter, she admits to being more comfortable speaking English. It is possible that she knows other language as well: for example, since she was born and raised in Serbia, it is likely that she knows Serbian and, since her foster parents were members of the Romani community, she may know one or more dialects of Romani as well. Her brother speaks fluent Russian and seems surprised that the other Avengers don't, suggesting that Wanda may also speak it.

**Occultism & Magical Knowledge:** Wanda is one of the most powerful and learned Sorceress on the planet and mortal plane. Because of her power, knowledge, and experience, she is often the Avengers' go-to person for all things involving magic or the supernatural. Wanda taught Pixie a sleeping spell and taught the students of Strange Academy about the Elements of Chaos.

### Weakness

**Perception Range:** Her range of hex-casting was limited by her line of sight.[*citation needed*] (She couldn't watch a live television broadcast and cause a hex-phenomenon to occur at its point of origin.)[*citation needed*]

**Physical Condition:** Hexes had a degree of unreliability, which was further affected by her physical condition: when well rested, in good health, and mentally and emotionally alert, Scarlet Witch could cast numerous hex-spheres in rapid succession and attain desirable results for almost an hour.[*citation needed*]

**Overextension:** Despite this enhanced precision, her hexes were not necessarily guaranteed to work, particularly if she had been straining herself or using her powers excessively. If overextended, her hexes could backfire, causing probability to work against her wishes or to undo previous hexes.[*citation needed*]
