History ComicBook / ScarletWitch2015

* ColorCharacter: Wanda discusses in issue 12 the tendency for magic users to have such titles, and not basic colors either with hues like scarlet, emerald and coral.

* {{Foil}}: Declan Dane to Wanda; She's a good witch pushed to betray her team by circumstance seeking to atone for her mistakes and setting out to restore magic. She uses spells sparingly because she takes [[CastFromLifespan the cost of them into herself]]. Declan used to be on a hero team but he betrayed then consciously and willingly, because he's evil to the core. Wanda is unknowingly opposing his attempts to take revenge on every slight he's felt in his long life, using many powerful spells to sow mass deaths leaving the cost to be taken from the world around him. He's the [[ColorCharacter Emerald Warlock]] to boot.
* FriendlyGhost: Agatha Harkness -- well, she's a friendly as possible to somebody [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten who technically killed her]].
* HotWitch: as ever - though not in the mirror, apparently.

* SinsOfOurFathers: Declan Dane, the Emerald Warlock, who's shaping up to be the ArcVillain of the series, is killing all the descendants of a woman who crossed him in ''600 B.C.''. That adds up to a lot of innocent people slaughtered, and he's dismissive of their pleas for mercy. It later comes out that this was because said ancestor cast a blood spell to banish his family from Ireland and that killing them all had the practical affect of breaking said spell. Now he can return to Ireland and take his revenge on the last as well.
* 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.

* FriendlyGhost: Agatha Harkness -- well, she's a friendly as possible to somebody [[NeverLiveItDown who technically killed her]].

* 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 she used to work with Tony in a similarly proactive group called Force Works.

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 ComicBook/ScarletWitch-- as she investigates the curious case of broken witchcraft in the MarvelUniverse. While she's headlined two limited series in the past --one of which she shared with ComicBook/TheVision-- this is her first ongoing title as a solo character.

* Evil Counterpart: The Emerald Warlock.

-> ''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.''
--> Wanda Maximoff, the '''Scarlet Witch'''

'''''Scarlet Witch''''' is a 2015 Creator/{{Marvel}} comic book, published as part of the ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel initiative that followed in the wake of ''ComicBook/{{Secret Wars|2015}}'' earlier that year.

While not ''exactly'' an {{anthology comic}}, every issue is said to be self-contained story that fits within the larger narrative of Wanda taking it upon herself to fix witchcraft in the world, each drawn by a different artist. Some of Robinson's confirmed collaborators include [[ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX Steve Dillon]], [[ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} Annie Wu]], [[ComicBook/SheHulk Javier Pulido]], and [[ComicBook/DCComicsBombshells Marguerite Sauvage]].

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: The premise of this series is comparatively similar to ''[[ComicBook/JohnConstantine Constantine]]: The ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'', which Creator/{{DC}} launched after their own [[ComicBook/{{Convergence}} major crossover event]] the same year as ''Secret Wars''.

* ContinuityNod: Issue 9 has Quicksilver 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 she used to work with Tony in a similarly proactive group called Force Works.

* VainSorceress: Implied when Wanda looks into the mirror and doesn't quite look the way she appears to the outside world.

The past few years have weighed on Wanda quite a bit: she [[ComicBook/HouseOfM depowered most of the world's mutants]], married ComicBook/DoctorDoom [[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...
