History ComicBook / ScarletWitch2015

* GenderRestrictedAbility: The distinction being emphasized between magic and witchcraft is that the latter specifically leans feminine. Wanda manages to gain the upper hand on Declan by luring him into the realm of [[TheHecateSister a goddess trinity]] that empowers feminine magic but dampen masculine magic.

The past few years have weighed on Wanda quite a bit: she [[ComicBook/HouseOfM depowered most of the world's mutants]], married Doctor Doom [[ComicBook/TheChildrensCrusade while suffering from memory loss]], ''and'' discovered that ComicBook/{{Magneto}} [[ComicBook/{{AXIS}} wasn't her biological father after all]] -- thusly meaning [[ComicBook/UncannyAvengers she wasn't a mutant, either]]. Oh, and longtime lover ComicBook/TheVision [[ComicBook/TheVision2015 purged his memories and left her for a new family]]. Deciding she needs some time for herself, a tour of do-gooding witchcraft was probably in order eventually...

Written by James Robinson with rotating artists, covers by David Aja, and a new costume design by Kevin Wada, this title focuses on Wanda Maximoff -- the Characters/ScarletWitch -- as she investigates the curious case of broken witchcraft in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse. While she has headlined two limited series in the past -- [[ComicBook/TheVisionAndTheScarletWitch one of which]] she shared with [[Characters/Avengers60sMembers The Vision]] and the other being [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch a four-issue mini-series in 1994]] -- this is her first ongoing title as a solo character.

->''"I've often heard the spells I cast referred to as '''chaos magic''' ... but in actual fact they're far from "chaotic" -- their power and intensity are linked to the energy of the '''Earth''' and '''womankind''', revered by ancient pagan faiths, feared by men. Its name is '''witchcraft.''' In my past, I have ill-used that power, and I am feared because of it. But I am more than the sum of those mistakes. I am better than that. And I resolve to put things right ... to right the wrongs when magic is involved. And not part of a team. Me alone."''

!! ''Scarlet Witch'' provides examples of:

* TheAtoner: Stated in the narration above; Wanda wants to atone for any wrongdoing through using her power for good.

* ContinuityNod: Issue 9 has Quicksilver try to recruit Wanda to Tony's side for the second Civil War (which she almost mistakes as the first). Wanda declines and sides with Carol, citing that she used to work with Tony in a similarly proactive group called Force Works.

* DeadpanSnarker: just a bit.

* SociopathicHero: Wanda is fed up with Pietro's arrogance and domineering attitude in issue 9. She claims after concluding she has depression from research that her research into ''his'' behavior points to him being a sociopath.
