Since Wanda Maximoff’s introduction in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel Comics fans have been waiting for the character to reach the universe-shaking power of her incarnation in the comics, Scarlet Witch.

Until WandaVision, the Marvel Cinematic has refrained — some might say shied away from — presenting Wanda’s powers as having their origin in magic.

But episode 8 of WandaVision finally closes the loop, and funnily enough it’s almost a mirror of how the Scarlet Witch’s powers evolved over time in the comics.

It wasn’t until a decade or so after her first appearance that Avengers writer Steve Englehart decided to make good on the “witch” part of the Scarlet Witch’s name, by having her study magic (including under the comics version of Agatha Harkness).

Wanda isn’t the only example of Marvel mixing mutant powers and magic in a single character, but she certainly helped to make that combination a core pillar of X-Men continuity, so much so that Marvel’s current line of X-Men books contains a series all about mutant magic, Excalibur.

That’s probably not going to make it into WandaVision, but it does put Wanda among the Marvel Universe’s foremost wielders of Chaos Magic.

But the deal rested on Marvel Studios keeping all mention of mutants away from Wanda and Pietro, and so Marvel Comics followed suit.

But it does mean that in modern Marvel Comics continuity, Wanda’s powers are entirely magic derived
