didn't the 2016 Scarlet Witch solo also talked about how the Witches magic it's different from others and that takes power from other sources or something like that

So many writers didn't want "chaos magic" to be a thing, but it persevered.

I'm still not sure what masculine and feminine even mean here.

Isn't chaos responsible for the probability hexes? Or is that separate

A bit of both. For most of her comics existence, Wanda's "hex power" was defined as the mutant ability to alter probability, but she also learned real magic and sometimes used that.
In 1998, to simplify Wanda's power set, an Avengers issue had Agatha Harkness reveal to Wanda that her hexes had been powered by "chaos magic" all along, so everything she ever did with her powers -- including probability alteration -- was just a manifestation of chaos magic. A probability hex is just the simplest expression of what chaos magic can do.

The comics need to define “chaos magic”. How is it different from other forms of magic? Besides it being made by Chthon, why is it so dangerous to wield, and make it establish that Wanda is the only one in the Universe who was the power to control it.

I assume it's a type of magic which creates instability. I think it's defined by its effects, making it different than, for instance, astral projection or the Images of Ikonn

If its meant to create instability, could the assumption be made that it causes the disruption of the flow of all types of energy including concepts of time and space in an area causing a breakdown in reality, with the potential that anytime Wanda casts a hex she could tear a whole in reality if she loses control of it.

Makes sense. Probability and time are related, I think. There's probably not an in-depth explanation of it, but more of a consistent usage

[QUOTE=CJStriker;5490614]Wanda holds her own well in the Boys Major clubs and it thing with it gains her voice to stand-up for herself and not to be pushed around by the other guys in the group, espically in a group like the brotherhood who outside of her caring brother Pietro is full of dangerous scummy people like Magneto worshiping Toad, Angry Magento and Creepy Mastermind.[/quote]
Nice nicknames. hah
True, hanging around boys for too long can make a girl dangerous.
TY for the WB, CJ.

Maybe I'm reading too much into her comments, but I really don't like the concept of gendering magic. I didn't like it when Robinson did it in the Scarlet Witch solo either. I think magic is transcendental, and tying it to a such a binary human concept like gender cheapens it. And like, it doesn't even make that much sense within the Marvel Universe itself either. Who got to decide that Strange's magic in the MCU is masculine? He was taught everything that he knows by a woman (Ancient One). So her magic is strictly masculine just because his is? And what does that mean for Billy's magic when he inherited powers from Wanda, but he's not female? Where does his magic fall on the spectrum? And what about a character like Loki, who's something in-between male and female... where would that magic fall on the spectrum of masculinity/femininity? If the answer is ''the writers didn't think about that'', then maybe they shouldn't be assigning arbitrary labels to something so complex like magic to begin with.

With a power titled chaos magic they should explain that causes instability that anytime it’s used it has the potential to form cracks in reality if the spell backfires cause the disruption of energy wasn’t reassembled properly
