Just Wanda going nuts, created the New Avengers, a never before seen group. It introduced the Illuminati in that book of NA, and gave us the remarkable Mighty Avengers and Dark Avengers as well. So though Bendis appeared to ignore continuity, he plucked the little known hanging thread of her children, and made it the most threatening that Wanda has ever been.
