YMMV / The Vision and the Scarlet Witch

Go To

  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In Issue 11 of the 1985 run, the narrative briefly jumps away from the issue's main plot to a page and a half where Quicksilver runs up to a nameless man on a dogsled in Antarctica, monologues to him about his marital problems, then runs away.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: It's rather difficult to read The Vision and the Scarlet Witch knowing what happens to both of them.
  • I Knew It!: The big reveal that Magneto was her father was made in the finale of the first Scarlet Witch & Vision miniseries. Still, some fans may have known it earlier. In Avengers #186 Bova told Quicksilver the story of their mother Magda, who arrived to Wundagore escaping from an unnamed evil husband with terrible powers, and how they tried to give them to Robert and Madeline Frank first (the Whizzer and Ms. America, thought to be their parents back then) and then to the Maximoffs. In X-Men #125, Magneto has a brief nostalgia moment about Magda, his former wife, who ran away from him. Alone, none of those issues say that he is their father, but when reading both and putting two and two together, the outcome was clear. It was even confirmed in a letters page when a fan submitted the theory—although editorial expressed the Maximoffs origins would remain forever a secret.
