The Scarlet Witch has been described as one of Marvel's most notable and powerful heroes. Since 2014, Elizabeth Olsen has portrayed Wanda Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the Marvel comics, Wanda has served as both a hero and a villain. Scarlet Witch was originally introduced along with her brother as an X-men villain, serving as a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants – a group led by Magneto that would often battle Professor Xavier's team.
Compared to the threat of a Sinister Strange in the making, the Scarlet Witch was only grieving on her terms. Instead of helping her with grief, the sorcerer became an obstacle in her way, which fueled Wanda's rage and made her killing more ruthless than ever.
With his expert combat skills and powerful technology, Black Panther is undoubtedly one of the Avengers who can beat Scarlet Witch in one-on-one combat.
Wanda was still a formidable adversary, capable of tipping the scales in favor of Ultron (James Spader) or the Avengers, depending on who she was helping. Still, without her Chaos Magic from Marvel Comics, Wanda was not more powerful than Thor or Hulk.
As the only Avenger that proved capable of single-handedly defeating him, Wanda ranks easily as one of the most powerful Avengers.
The canon proves that Wanda Maximoff does become a villain several times, but she almost always finds her way back to the side of heroism.
Unfortunately by the time Wanda Maximoff is back, it's at the end of the movie; her act of redemption through sacrifice feels rushed and, frankly, cheap. Wanda Maximoff is the only Avenger who doesn't get to come back from being the worst version of herself.
Elizabeth Olsen, the woman behind Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, has reflected on her character's journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—having all started thanks to her hate of Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark.
The Scarlet Witch's most powerful enemies include Professor X and Doctor Strange, who she could fight in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Scarlet Witch counts some of the greatest Marvel Comics supervillains among her most powerful enemies, including Doctor Doom and Ultron.
Following her redemption in the pages of X-Men: Trial of Magneto, Wanda is reborn as the hero the Marvel Universe needs her to be! Making the most of her fresh start, Wanda uses her powers in a new way and embraces a calling to help those who need it the most.
Scarlet Witch Disassembles the Avengers
When she eventually lost them, her mentor Agatha Harkness made her forget their entire existence, believing this would help her heal and move on without realizing this very act was essentially a betrayal in and of itself.
Perhaps the most obvious character that was more powerful than the Scarlet Witch was the One Above All, who acted as the "god" of the Marvel universe.
Because Stark missiles kill her parents and nearly kill her and her twin brother Pietro, Wanda spends much of her youth hating Tony Stark. Her initial ally, Ultron, plays off of that rage and manipulates the twins into working for him against the Avengers.
The Scarlet Witch flourished as an Avenger, despite her domineering and over-protective brother. As she learned more about her powers and the role of a hero, Wanda found herself attracted to the android Vision and the two soon declared their love for each other, a situation Pietro found intolerable.
Doctor Strange's third eye (the Eye of Agamotto) in the comics, according to Bustle, represents wisdom of the sorcerer Agamotto and his Vishanti. The Eye allows him to see the true intentions of his enemies and break down all magical illusions.
Conversation. Wanda Maximoff has never known a happy ending. Multiverse of Madness does not look promising either.
It represents the wisdom of the sorcerer Agamotto and his fellow Vishanti, allowing Strange to see his enemies' true intentions and break magical illusions. Doctor Strange's third eye is originally a sign of a higher level of consciousness, and it can only be used by those whose souls are devoid of corruption.
It wasn't until she had possession of the Darkhold that she was able to realize the full extent of her abilities. Before Multiverse of Madness, she was strong but not that powerful. That's why the Infinity Stones-powered Thanos could withstand Wanda's attack in Wakanda and then defeat her and destroy Vision.
Wanda Maximoff was set to be the next big bad of the MCU but was replaced by Kang. Not utilizing her character is a mistake, and here's why. Many Marvel fans theorized that fan-favorite Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch, was going to be the next Thanos-level villain of the MCU, as she was often in the comics.
Wanda wants to steal America's power so she can reunite with her sons, Billy and Tommy. In "Multiverse of Madness," Wanda targets America because of the teen's ability to travel through the multiverse.
Thor is great at close-range combat, too, which is one of Wanda's weak points. Captain Marvel and Captain Carter were able to get in a few blows before succumbing to the Scarlet Witch, and that is because they got close enough to her to do it.
If there's one superhero who can totally beat her, it would be Spider-Man. Remember when the Webslinger covered his foe's entire face with his web? That is one of his signature moves! Despite not having any supernatural powers, Spider-Man has the advantage in this situation.
Both are extremely powerful, but in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda demonstrates the extent of her powers like never before. So in terms of raw force, she is definitely the more powerful of the two.
