Scarlet Witch
Scarlet Witch, whose real name is Wanda
Maximoff, is a character from Marvel
Comics. She was born in Sokovia and
raised with her twin brother Pietro. Wanda
was made an enhanced person by
HYDRA, gaining powers like telepathy and
telekinesis. She is rather introverted and
emotionally fragile but has a caring
personality with a strong will to protect
the people she loves and innocent
citizens. Her many powers, like the ability
to fire red energy blasts, gave her the hero
name Scarlet Witch.
Wanda Maximoff was a native of Sokovia
who grew up with her fraternal twin
brother, Pietro. Born with the latent
mythical ability to harness Chaos Magic,
she developed a hatred against Tony
Stark and rallied anti-American protests
after the Novi Grad Bombings killed her
parents. Years later, in an effort to help
purge their country of strife, the twins
joined HYDRA and agreed to undergo
experiments with the Scepter under the
supervision of Baron Strucker, with the
Mind Stone awakening and amplifying
Wanda’s powers. While her brother
developed super-speed, she attained
various psionic abilities.
