Scarlet Wiccan

**Walter Maximoff**; also known as the **Scarlet Wiccan**, or the **Scarlet Witch**, is a manifestation of the grief and pain Wanda Maximoff felt following Vison's death. When Wanda's chaos magic triggered, she was reduced to atoms and Walter took her place in the physical world.

Walter and his version of Vision, a female manifestation of his memories, lived their ideal suburban life in the Hex, which was created by Walter to sustain Vision's life. When Agatha Harkness revealed herself in order to absorb Walter's power, the two battled until Walter finally unleashed his full power and defeated her. Following this conflict, he took down the hex and gave up his family, including Vision, before fleeing out to the ruins of Socovia to study the Darkhold to gain the powers to traverse the multiverse and find his children.

After a year of Isolation, Walter finally located his son and daughter in a separate timeline, unable to move his physical body to this universe without causing further splinters in the timeline, Walter sought out America Chavez who was scared of him. Walter managed to absorb enough of her power to traverse the multiverse to find his sons, however, when they did not recognise him, Walter hit a breaking point and begin to merge timelines in order to restore his children's memories of him, in doing so, Walter brought the X-Gene from a different universe into his home Universe and caused a mass appearance of mutants. At the same time, Doctor Strange performed a spell in an attempt to fix Peter Parker's identity crisis, the clash of the spells caused two alternate Peter Parkers to enter the Universe along with several of their enemies. Eventually, with the help of Doctor Strange and America Chavez, Walter managed to halt the merging of the timelines, however, the damage already done was irreversible. Walter then fled into the Multiverse to continue his search for his children.

When Kang the Conquerer appeared in the Universe, Ant-Man, Wasp and several other Avengers attempted to combat him, however, he was too powerful and in his attempts to restore order to the Multiverse, he prepared to reduce Walter's timeline to atoms. Shortly before his success, Walter returned to the Universe to combat Kang himself, the clash of the two nexus beings caused further disruption to the timeline. Walter managed to get the upper hand and torn Kang apart, spreading variants of him across the universe. Eventually, He Who Remains, a variant of Kang who retained his memories, took up residence at the citadel at the end of time, where he took it upon himself to heal the timeline to prevent Kang from ever returning. When Walter sensed this, he put the Multiverse in a permanent loop so that neither of the nexus beings could ever cross paths again, with himself preserved in the present day, and He Who Remains stuck at the end of time.
