You can dislike the MCU for whatever the reasons but just saw some hard 616 wanda fans celebrating that 616 wanda is apparently finally in control of Chthon and MCU Wanda getting someway possessed by the darkhold in MoM, but they skipping the part where 616 Wanda has been possessed and manipulated in history upon history?
Isn't the problem that most people who cry about "comic accuracy" bunch of filthy casuals who are more concerned about mutants, Mephisto, Magneto?
There are two types, the ones that want her to be a villain and look powerful (they usually don't read her books) and the 616 comic wanda fans who dislike the MCU version but can't understand that if MCU wanda goes to the villain route it's because they're literally basing it on bad stories of her like the ones that almost destroyed her character.
Those are the worst, you can't argue with them before they start pushing their headcanon of wanda's stories and relationships.

1) He's not human and was only created like 1 year before that Civil War scene. Him not fully understanding human manners is perfectly reasonable.
2) He was acting on Tony's orders. It was bad but doesn't make him a creep.
3) Wanda was clearly already in love with him in Civil War before the said civil war happens. That's the whole drama in them being on opposite sites. It's not a "reward" for his behavior.
4) He's not the one who actually put her in a straightjacket. That's the governments fault. I'm not sure it's fair to blame even Tony himself for that specifically.
Also the flashback scene in WandaVision made it clear that they were starting to fall for each other before the action of Civil War started, not that that wasn't already obvious from the movie.
Her mutant power was to channel and wield chaos magic.
Had she not been messed with by Chthon, she'd have been some sort of energy-wielder -- channeling electricity or gravity or weather or something, like Magneto wields magnetism.
What Chthon did, essentially, was he hooked the hose up to chaos magic.
So her mutant powers became the power to wield chaos magic. First in the form of uncontrollable "hexes" (essentially chaos-grenades), which she began to subconsciously guide and shape more and more as she got used to them. And then Agatha Harkness taught her to consciously shape them, and to use chaos magic to fuel more traditional magic spells.
The idea was to bring her mutant power and her magical skill into harmony, so they were two pieces of the same thing, rather than two unrelated things.

I guess I mistook the semantics of the sentence. I interpreted it as all Marvel males are toxic and that he was the least toxic, implying that he was toxic to a degree. I was also thinking that a lot of Storm fans were not fond of the marriage and didn't like the way T'Challa annulled it during the whole Avengers vs X-Men mess. So he was considered "toxic" to some fans....but maybe that was not the term they used.

I got the gyst of that in Avengers#10 vol 3, but thanks for answering anyways, specially interesting your explanation here is almost the same as that comic's, which you wrote 20 years ago, talk about good memory.
Also this made me realize how much Pietro is an oddball among Magneto's children, because Wanda's power was originally gonna be energy related until Chthon messed with her, then we have Lorna, who's also an energy wielder and has basically the same power as Magneto, and there's Pietro, who just runs fast lol.
Almost makes it look like he's not actually Magneto's kid, unlike the other two, which's ironic 'cause he looks a lot like Magneto .
