Wanda Maximoff: SCARLET WITCH Appreciation 2019

[HipHopAvenger]

Still seems like no Wanda in February solicits except the “Tarot” flashback mini. She’s not in the “Force Works” revival mini of course.

I don’t get why she is MIA for so long (close to a year) but I am almost afraid to find out what they’re saving her for.

She’s in the Star mini

TWO REALITY WARPERS COLLIDE!
As Star struggles to master her powers, she gets a visit from one of the world’s greatest — and most dangerous — reality warpers. But is the Scarlet Witch here to guide a fledgling, would-be hero…or put down a deadly villain? Either way, Star better learn fast — because heroes aren’t the only ones watching the new wielder of the Reality Stone.

So Marvel created a new heroine that looks exactly like Captain Marvel and Moonstone (even the same powers) for what?
Instead of creating new stories for established heroines.

I appreciate Wanda's appearance in Star.

The Marvel Team-Up story is one of Wanda's best guest appearances even though (or because?) the premise is completely bonkers. Also notable as the first story where Wanda has teleportation power (she casts a hex that teleports Spider-Man to her for some reason), and also for many years the last story where she has that power.



Speaking of the best Wanda guest appearances, Marvel just released Power Man & Iron Fist # 102, by Kurt Busiek and Richard Howell, where Wanda and Vision guest star in a very silly but very fun story. It's in an Epic Collection and on Marvel Unlimited/Comixology.

I loved that 4-part story! "Cotton Mather" and "The Dark Rider" were the villains, if I remember correctly.

Vision and Moondragon appeared in the other issues that make up the story.. Wanda had some good hexes in the story, albeit along with some weak hexes and also feeling weak and tired from using her powers.

The "telepotation" was not so much a power, as opposed to being the result of Wanda's Hex, and it went after Spider-Man and sucked him into it. Why Spider-Man? Plot point. Wanda was calling out for help (and I think she expected the Vision to come to her aid, which he did the next issue, but not from her hex)

Here is hoping they don't oversimplify Wanda's power set.
I mean, Star's RW power isn't magic based, right?

[Digifiend]

Right - it's cosmic based. The infinity stones are Celestial tech.

I guess what better way for Thompson to finally prove she doesn't hate Wanda then by prominently featuring her in her new mini-series?

Even if it's probably weird that Wanda's dealing with Carol's new nemesis when she hasn't exchanged a word with Carol in years.

I had the same thought. But I hope there is at least some interaction with Carol herself.

[GenericUsername]

Here is hoping they don't oversimplify Wanda's power set.

I hope not either, but they may have defaulted to just can warp reality instead of can tap into a power source.

[MaximoffTrash]

That's kinda the thing with characters that have similar outcomes for power but with completely different mechanism.
I mean, could a magical elemental manipulator like Modred share any useful experience with a genetic based elemental manipulator like Crystal?
But I guess Reality Warping is more a generalized power catergory.
