Wanda Maximoff

Wanda Maximoff was a Sokovian sorceress who possessed vast magical abilities as the fabled Scarlet Witch. Born with the latent mythical ability to harness Chaos Magic, Wanda grew up with her fraternal twin brother, Pietro Maximoff. She developed a hatred for 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, where Pietro was killed during the battle. Following their victory, Wanda was illegally brought to New York by the Avengers to reside at the Avengers Compound in the United States.
