The whole pretender title for Wanda is just silly. Wanda didn't pretend to be anything and the label is frankly just a dumb bandwagon for people to jump on.
Exactly. It's a moniker told to and used by primarily Children. I honestly think its all part of Krakoa trying to build a culture around the history of mutants. I don't think the intention was to be accurate.
Honestly, the only reason I like it is because it gives me hope that this is the start of reversing the retcon or at least letting Pietro back into the mutant fold somehow.
Cause everyone is always Wanda, Wanda, Wanda, when the character to really surfer from this is him. Cause with him dead in the movies and not a mutant in the comics, he might as well not exist now.
Okay, I've kind of let this go for a while, but I do have to say something. A lot of people are under the impression that using the word pretender means that she has been pretending to be a mutant. That really isn't what the word is about. It describes someone who has, or believes they have a claim to a title or rank. It's most often used relating to royalty, and can actually be about someone who is a genuine claimant to, for example, a throne. It can also be used to describe someone who might have a genuine claim, but who decides not to press the claim.
So it can be argued that pretender is the absolutely perfect word to describe her, even if she is not looking to press any claim to be accepted as a high ranking mutant. This may well be something that Hickman wants to explore further.
To find more out about this and how the word has been correctly used try reading the history of The Wars Of The Roses.
I am a Marvel fan preferably cosmic storylines, especially Thanos or Dark Phoenix related, when both the Avengers and the X-Men are involved count me in, loved the original Uncanny Avengers series.
Not a fan of any of the new characters.

Canon states she isn't a mutant which means all her times of her running around as a mutant she wasn't it's not hard to get. Doesn't matter if she didn't know it or not.
Hell similar things have happened to other characters like Cloak and Dagger
