Should Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch stand trial for House of M ?

[Alan2099]

Her problem is that her redemption arcs somehow end up making her look worse AND that writers keep piling up horrible mistakes on her, like the zombie situation

There was her working with Hope to save the day, banish Phoenix, and restart the mutant race in AvsX, but nobody liked to bring up that one.

Her spell summoned the Phoenix Force in the first place. And the Phoenix didn't undo the damage it just broke the block. Additionally, there were two ways the spell could be lifted. The first via Hope and her 5 lights and the second with Hope and Wanda

[Will Evans]

She’s a trained dancer, right?



Just have her put on a show on Krakoa’s stage.


It starts out with everyone booing her, because they know who she is.

Then as she continues her extraordinary and unorthodox belly dance routine, the crowd starts to come around to her side.

And by the end, they’re all cheering and clapping for her.

So basically like the movie Flashdance.

Can you list all the people who knew exactly how the 5 Lights were supposed to work?

I am all for Krakoa putting on more dance performances.

I look forward to seeing Scott and Emma re-intact pieces from Dirty Dancing.

Maybe we can get some Footloose action in there too.

She's more a failed singer than a failed dancer.

Unit did, but he eliminated Kenji to see what would happen if the Messiah did not have her lights. Tony knew her spell summoned the Phoenix. So she's inadvertly responsible for that.

In short Wanda is responsible for Decimation and the push back from the Phoenix for creating such an unnatural state.

She's also responsible for the Fault and weakening of reality

[Will Evans]

Wanda needs to come to Krakoa and hold assemblies on why misusing powers are bad.

Like ex-white-collar criminals who come to colleges and do presentations on what they did was wrong and how they got caught, etc.


Like a scared straight program for young emerging omega level mutants.

She's like the worse person to do that bc she STILL hasnt learned her lesson. People need to be teaching her about that type of responsibility, not the other way around

So...essentially...nobody knew about the necessity of the Lights.

Seems no one is a “Phoenix Expert”.

Restarting the Mutant race wasn’t her goal. She didn’t say make more Mutants. She said no more Phoenix. Her goal was pretty malevolent, trying to destroy a fundamental universal abstract. Luckily she failed. If anything, it was another Wanda screw up only her incompetence had a rare positive outcome.

[Denkota]

Imagine trying to erase the Phoenix. Guess they missed the part of it always rising from the ashes.

Less fights and more dances… It would be certainly an evolution in X-men comics…

Someone has to do it, I doubt it'd get through to people like Apocalypse or Selene, or if Krakoa put any big effort into reforming it's villains. She'll probably be given her own CIA squad to do anything with. As is Krakoa tradition.

Just let Emma do it. She already taught ethic class, she's an actual teacher and she's misused her powers and walked that line in the past.
