History[]
Wanda Maximoff, The Scarlet Witch, is either a) the mutant daughter of World War II superheroes the Whizzer and Miss America, b) the mutant daughter of Magneto, or c) the daughter of a Gypsy sorceress who was given super powers by the High Evolutionary, depending on when you started reading about her and which origin you choose to believe. The mixed-up Ms Maximoff and her brother, Pietro (Quicksilver) were originally members of the villainous Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, but theirs hearts weren't really in it so they switched sides and joined the Avengers instead, Wanda eventually marrying android teammate the Vision. Their relationship lasted many happy years until the Vision had his mind erased by the US Government, after which Wanda could quite legitimately claim that he was no longer the man she married.
