    Default Children of Magneto, yes or no ?

    I am a fan of the Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) and Quicksilver (Pietro Maximoff) being the children of Magneto.
    I grew up knowing that they were part of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants before joining the Avengers.
    In my opinion this made them both unique as they were part of the main superhero team yet their father was one of the main super villians of the Marvel Universe.
    After their background retcon in Uncanny Avengers# 4 vol 2 I was very disapointed.
    Sure Fox Studios owned the movie rights to the X-Men but I believe Marvel went down the wrong road by changing the Maximoff twins history and also trying to have the Inhumans replace the X-Men.
    Hopefully now with the Disney/Fox sale all but complete Marvel will right this wrong to Marvel continuity.
    I am a Marvel fan preferably cosmic storylines, especially Thanos or Dark Phoenix related, when both the Avengers and the X-Men are involved count me in, loved the original Uncanny Avengers series.
    Not a fan of any of the new characters.

    Of course they should be mutants and magneto's kids. Cutting that link only damaged the characters and no good stories came from that.

    I definitely want Wanda and Pietro to be mutants and Magneto's children again! As I've posted (often) before, the twins' mother can be Natalya, doesn't have to be Magda. Bova tells the story of the Romani woman who sought shelter in the H.E.'s fortress to give birth, and in two different accounts describes her as being "afraid of her husband" and afraid he'll find her and get revenge on her, etc. She even says something about the father of her babies wanting to attack the entire world. This NEVER made sense for Magda, who knew Max from the time they were both children in Nuremberg, Germany, and who loved him, and never saw him as anything but a loving man--until his powers exploded when Anya was killed. Chris Claremont explained Magda's fear as stemming from her experience of Max's powers first hand. But it still didn't match the fear the twins' mother expressed to Bova--a terror so great she abandoned her newborn twins and ran off into the night! But it makes sense if her "husband" or lover was posing as Erik Lehnsherr, calling himself Magneto already.

    This dumb retcon damaged all of the characters involved and threw out decades of great stories. I refuse to acknowledge it as canon.

    The non-mutant retcon was unnecessary.

    100% agree with you, to me Wanda and Pietro will always be Magnetos children.

    True, I agree. Didn’t Magnetos heart soften after finding out his granddaughter was a human? Or **** like that? Years later n I’m still confused about the recton.

    HEAR! HEAR ! I loathe marvel comics' disrespect towards the decades of great stories.
