    She stripped most of the mutant population of their powers. There is a huge different between her having done that and committing deliberate genocide.

    Some mutants died because they were in dangerous situations when their powers disappeared. That is a far cry from an act of deliberate genocide.

    Using the term "genocide" in such a casual way belittles its horror and the significance of its meaning.

    Ol' Wanda removed mutant powers across the multiverse. Countless mutants died because of it... and the only punishment she got was feeling bad about it.

    Genocide is the deliberate premeditated mass slaughter of people of a particular ethnicity. In an attempt to render them extinct.

    That is not what the Scarlet Witch did to mutants. The majority of those depowered survived.

    As for Black Bolt. His intentions were never genocidal. He had no idea that the Terrigen Cloud would have effected mutants as it has.

    Maybe Scott and Kamala will become a permanent item -- because, Scott's the ultimate lady's man according to his fan base.

    Well, then what is the name of a genocide without intention ?; because mass murder doesnt sound quite right.

    Kamala is a sane and normal girl without dominatrix tendencies, the polar opposite of his type.

    "Across the Multiverse" is hyperbole. It is also a complete exaggeration of the numbers of people who were effected.

    Mutants are from Earth They originate from Earth The vast majority of them live on Earth. There are not many mutants that exist at all away from Earth.

    "Countless" is pure hyperbole. Deliberate exaggeration.

    Well, there is panels that prove that she affected the Multiverse, i.e. alternate realities.

    It's called an Extinction Event. More than a few which have happened in the real world's history. The most famous of them wiped out the Dinosaurs.

    Whatever, im numb to it because its all tell and no show. Im just glad the only Cyclops thats still around is out of the X-Books. Which i hate typing these words, but what can you do. Since the relaunch the X-Books, minus AN Wolverine, have been utter crap. When they're not bad, they're just boring. Its brutal. Plus Waid is solid. Dude seems to dig all the characters i dig.

    What she did also prevented new mutants from showing up - like some kind of worldwide forced sterilization.
    Dark does not mean deep.

    That's called a power suppression. She turned off and suppressed the X-Gene worldwide.

    People were still being born with the X-Gene. But they were not manifesting as new mutants because the X-Gene itself was suppressed.

    However. At the end of AvX, the worldwide X-Gene suppression effect was removed by the Phoenix. And the mutants who would have manifested under normal circumstances since that suppression was put in place did.
