Scarlet Witch

**Wanda Maximoff** is a native of Sokovia who grew up with her fraternal twin brother, Pietro. Born with the latent mythical ability to harness Chaos Magic, she developed a hatred against Tony Stark and rallied anti-American protests after the Novi Grad Bombings killed her parents. Years later, in an effort to help purge their country of strife, the twins joined HYDRA and agreed to undergo experiments with the Scepter under the supervision of Baron Strucker, with the Mind Stone awakening and amplifying Wanda's powers. While her brother developed super-speed, she attained various psionic abilities. When HYDRA fell, the twins joined Ultron to get their revenge on Stark, but abandoned him when they discovered his true intentions to eradicate humanity. Wanda and Pietro joined the Avengers during the Battle of Sokovia to stop Ultron; Pietro was killed during the battle but Wanda survived, and shortly after relocated to the Avengers Compound in the United States of America. She played a pivotal role in the Avengers Civil War, as she accidently killed some office workers in a mission with the Avengers on foreign sole, which led to the Sokovian Accords. Following the Civil War, Infinity War and her rampage across the multiverse, she began trying to seek redemption and closure, which led to her eventually traveling to New York City, bonding and forming a relationship with Spider-Man.

## Biography

Maximoff was born in Sokovia on May 15th, 1997. Growing up in Sokovia with her twin brother, Pietro Maximoff, the two siblings would constantly have to run and duck for cover due to air strikes on their hometown orchestrated by the United States Air Force, using technology and weaponry that of Stark Industries. One of these attacks killed Maximoff’s parents which resulted in her being orphaned along with her brother. These series of events would lead to Wanda beginning to develop a hatred to the United States government, the Sokovian government, Tony Stark and Stark Industries for carelessly allowing the slaughter of innocent people. The rest of the early part of Maximoff’s life, she would become dedicated to protesting and advocating against the United States for deploying foreign troops in Sokovia, the Sokovian government for not doing anything to protect its citizens, Tony Stark and his company Stark Industries for providing the weapons of mass destruction that were used to kill thousands. By the time Maximoff and her brother were late teenagers In 2014, they willingly volunteered to undergo experiments with the paramilitary terrorist organization known as HYDRA, so that they could gain powers and help drive the foreigners out of their home, what Maximoff did not know was that HYDRA were secretly the ones who orchestrated the civil war between Sokovia and the United States. The Twins would eventually be experimented on by Wolfgang Von Strucker and his HYDRA scientists. Now that the Twins had the power they sought, they could now have the chance to take down the un-welcomed United States troops, and the world renowned Superhero team, The Avengers. Following the Avengers attack on the HYDRA Research Base, the Twins came into contact with the Avengers for the first time, with Pietro managing to take down Hawkeye, and Wanda managing to briefly take down Captain America and mentally manipulate the mind of Tony Stark/Iron Man, causing him to see visions where all the Avengers other than himself were killed by extraterrestrial forces. Eventually Maximoff and her brother would come into contact with the newly invented and psychotic AI robot know as Ultron, and would eventually begin to assist him in taking down the Avengers, not knowing the AI’s true intentions were to destroy and wipe out all of humanity and rebuild the planet in his own image. Having a change of heart, Maximoff and her brother would eventually begin to realize the error of their ways and begin to assist Captain America and the Avengers against Ultron and ultimately defeat the evil AI, but at the cost of Pietro being killed by Ultron during the battle and Sokovia being destroyed. Eventually, Wanda decided to join the Avengers and start a new chapter in the United States, where she would operate as a personal member of Captain America’s small team of heroes. Unfortunately, an incident in Lagos on a mission with Cap and his Avenger crew, resulted in the deaths of numerous Wakanda relief workers, causing most of the public opinion on The Avengers, mainly Maximoff, to deteriorate, which resulted in the Sokovia Accords and the Avengers Civil War that followed. Due to her taking Captain America’s side in the Avengers Civil War, she became a fugitive and went on the run for the next few years, eventually settling down and forming a relationship with Vision and living quietly in Scotland with the sythozoid. Unfortunately for Maximoff, she and her boyfriend were secretly being tracked and watched by the psychotic alien warlord, Thanos, who sought the Mind Stone, one of the Six Infinity Stones, in his mad quest to eliminate half of all life in the universe to ‘spare’ them from the same fate as his own race. This forced Maximoff to partake in the galaxy wide conflict, The Infinity War, which resulted in the death of her boyfriend, Vision and the death of herself, due to the Snap. After being deceased for five years, she was resurrected by the Blip and would go onto help the heroes of the Universe defeat Thanos (from an alternate timeline) once and for all. Following the Battle of Earth/The Universe, Maximoff went through a great deal of pain, trauma and grief over Vision’s death, and as a result of this she found herself in numerous conflicts, such as the Westview Anomaly, her Multiversal War with Dr Strange and the Masters of The Mystic Arts and her hunt for America Chavez. Following these events, Wanda would end up going on a path of redemption for her villainous actions, which resulted in her meeting, befriending, and eventually becoming romantically infatuated/having feelings, for the superhero, Spider-Man. After helping Parker take down Kraven The Hunter, she eventually formed a New Romantic relationship with Peter and eventually ended up joining the newly reborn Avengers, finally letting go of her anger, trauma and pain from the past.
