Maybe Onslaught is responsible?
Maybe Onslaught is responsible?
Alright I position a new theory for if it's Fabian Cortez:
Both Wanda and Magneto are the real deal, but eventually get separated at some point.
Fabian dresses as Magneto and sneaks into the Gala, using the spare Magneto helmet we see him try to use for kinky **** in Way of X to hide his brain from Cerebro. He does this to light a fuse between the humans and mutants since he clearly wants a war with rhem. Kills Wanda, then kills himself so that Cerebro never picks up his brain scan post murder, so any telepathic scan will clear him.
That seems rather well thought out for Fabian ‘tries plying oppression card against a Holocaust survivor’ Cortez
In what issue did Fabian Cortez have a replica helmet of Magnetos ?, just tracking back over things and I can't find it.
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.

I mean I'm just a big fan of my "killer killed themselves as a memory cheat" theory. Especially with the focus on Prodigy exploiting blind spots in X Factor.
Though I guess the timing wouldn't fit unless he was working with someone to revive him fast. But he is from what I recall unaccounted for during the Gala
It's an amazing sci-fi trope, when done right. The killer gets caught only after almost getting away with it, when it's finally proven that they did it, but that they don't remember it, because they managed to delete the memories. I've seen it in a cool Peter Hamilton novel, and in a Netflix sci-fi series, so it gets around. Plus, obviously, Angel Heart, but that wasn't sci-fi.
It's also really interesting if the crime wasn't premeditated and the killer takes their own life out of shock for what they've done, but are then restored from an earlier backup. Can you really hold the restored individual responsible for what their earlier version did, even though they themselves never did anything wrong and might never even have considered doing something illegal?

Has anyone brought up the possibility that it could be Krakoa, the island itself? First it released some Poison Ivy-esque spores to hypnotize and immobilize Wanda and then vines shot up from the ground to strangulate her?
The motive could either be something from M-Day destroying multitudes of mutant lives that Krakoa could have siphoned power off or Wanda's current form being some weird chaos magic anomaly that needed to recreated as mutant.
Several people have brought it up. It'd be weird enough for comics but Wanda's chaos powers are not an anomaly. It's something that existed fine along side her mutant status for decades. She also doesn't need to be recreated as a mutant. Her stronger powers came from Chthon. Her being a mutant didn't do anything for her.
