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

[GenericUsername]

From an X-Men point of view, it would be interesting for a story to explore whether Wanda and Pietro made a mistake by joining the Avengers instead of going with Xavier and the X-Men. They leave the Brotherhood and then a month later they're on the Avengers, trying to break into mainstream heroism instead of joining another mutant team. But would Wanda's troubles with her powers have been less if she had joined Xavier's private army, where at least some of the training is about helping people understand their powers? A writer could go either way with this; if you accept the retcon that her powers were always a form of magic that even Strange didn't know about, then Xavier might not have been able to help at all. But at least that would be a question that "House of M" could have asked if it had been about Wanda. But, alas...

I'm sorry but this is just so off. Because she had learned to control her powers. And with most of her powers coming from Chthon, there's nothing that Xavier could do to help with that. Wanda doesn't need another story that pretends retconned stuff makes the past worse. They already tried that with the Avengers, making it seem like they should have always known. Wanda needs a hard reboot. Keep her on Avengers, closer to the movie stuff.

... which isn't entirely an unfair characterization

Oh yes it is, because it doesn't take into account that she was taught magic thoroughly by Agatha and even took on her own apprentice.

I think Hickman does have a plan for Wanda beyond this mini, I seriously doubt he would make a reference for her on HoX/PoX if he didn´t, wether this is good or bad for wanda that is the question. I want him to at least give closure to the decimation subplot for both the X-men and Wanda.

After Empire the pity I feel for Wanda's fans has eclipsed my hatred for Wanda.

Maybe in a few years they can bring Kurt Busiek in to clean her up.

Yes please

I think Wanda is very skilled at magic, she's just portrayed as having zero common sense

If you were written by Bendis/Hickman, you'd lose all common sense too.
