In this final fictional character episode, we learn more about Wanda Maximoff (aka The Scarlet Witch). We explore her many origin stories along with her family, real or imagined. Then we cover Wanda’s interactions with others in the MCU and beyond and discuss her influence on those around her. We consider how she is viewed by audiences, whether she is a hero or a villain, and what that means to different fans. Lastly we discuss what Wanda means to the world of comic books and the MCU, and the impact she had had, be it good or bad.
