One day, in Avengers Disassembled, Janet van Dyke happened to remind Wanda she thought she had two kids. Wanda went and asked Agatha about this, and when Agatha said she thought Wanda was over this obsession with kids, Wanda turned Agatha into a dried up husk of a corpse. That’s issue 2.
So Wanda, wishing to increase her Chaos powers, (either to get her kids back, or, to unleash holy retribution against all super heroes), asked for Dooms help to boost her powers, to which Doom agreed, and, not knowing what Wanda had to do for Doom in trade, Wanda became a reality worper. That’s issue 3.
Then Wanda proceeded to unleash her anger on everybody, Doom included, because she was obsessed with revenge, and caused Doom to attack the FF, Reed Richards obsessively to take over Latvaria, Thor to be ravaged by Ragnarok, Fury to assassinate the Latverian PM, Avengers Disassembled, and in full mania, House of M. That’s issue 4.
Now, I’m not too sure if the Avengers were at fault for causing Wanda to forget her children, or, Wanda, for reaching out to Doom, but I think it’s ambiguous enough that we recognise the Super Heroes were all conspiritually at fault, not just Wanda. I think there are enough factors to mitigate Wanda not being alone in House of M.
That’s if I were a lawyer.
