I mean, she had magic at birth, apparently. The Infinity Stone didn't grant her power, it supercharged it, that's the point.

Yes because Chthon blessed her with a fraction of his power at birth.

And she can't be a mutant too?

But she's not. She's not even in comics. That's been gone for six years. They can tack on many things to any character. They shouldn't though. It becomes a mess.

Where is this stated in Wandavision?

Yes, it is not x gene but pure magic

She’s already a witch and a mutate in comics, she’s been a mutant and a witch for decades.

On MCU she isn't a mutate or a mutant. She is a witch and that is fine

I feel like marvel will do what it wants to do regardless of our opinion, this argument is kinda childish.

She was mutated by the mind stone, she’s a mutate

nope, there's no need to and there's immensly toxic history attached to it.

[LordUltimus]

Saying "she's not a mutant in the MCU" doesn't mean anything because there are no mutants in the MCU. If they introduced mutants and made no sign of Wanda being a mutant, that would be one thing, but saying "there's no indication she's a mutant" is as relevant as saying there's no indication that she's a Kryptonian.

[gurkle]

the harsh truth is if wanda gets any steady comic focus it will be because AND for wandavision fans, marvel doesn't care about her so whatever she gets it will get a clear, cut and dry response to numbers, not creative passion.
So it makes no sense to alter her back into a mutant when her current version is somewhat, pretty close to what this show established in the mcu, and that's why it's probably not gonna happen, if anyone in those offices were itching to make them mutants once more they had two years to do so.
They didn't <3
They won't <3

I never want to see her retconned in comics again, I just think they should handwave it and say that if they had the X-gene, and registered on every device as a mutant, and got repeatedly captured by mutant-hunting sentinels, and were completely indistinguishable from mutants for almost their entire comics existence, then yeah, they're mutants.

I can't get very pressed about it because the MCU version is going to define her forever, and the MCU version is and has always been a magical witch. I just think it's goofy for the comics characters to act like she isn't a mutant on what is basically a technicality. I actually do think that eventually they'll just sort of go back to mentioning her history as a mutant when it's appropriate for the story (e.g. her time in the Brotherhood) while still keeping her out of X-books where she never had much of a presence.

I'm referring to comics. In WandaVision she is blessed with the power of the Scarlet Witch which is some legendary character in the Darkhold, which is a book originally written by Chthon. She's got deity powers because it's described by Agatha as divine.

They already choose.

But she's not. She's not even in comics. That's been gone for six years. They can tack on many things to any character. They shouldn't though. It becomes a mess.

It's a good thing Feige always stick to his guns.

The last scarlet Witch solo established that she isn't a mutant and her father isn't magneto. X-books may try to retcon it to milk more Wanda hate

nope, there's no need to and there's immensly toxic history attached to it.

I can see the MCU wanting to avoid the way the mutant connection damaged her reputation in many ways.

Regardless, I think some of us need remember happens when we get too attached to theories.

She was mutated by the mind stone, she’s a mutate

I don't know really about this part. I think at this point she's already changed by the nexus being stuff and already marked as an avatar. I think the mind stone just worked to bring out more of those powers.

She may be both, if that's possible (I don't know).

If they didn't want to have any connection that damaged her reputation, they wouldn't have made her big project directly based on House of M.
