Where the guide talks about them (5)
Wanda Maximoff, unable to process Vision's death, unconsciously seizes the New Jersey town of Westview and rewrites it into a sitcom reality where Vision is alive and they have twin sons, Billy and Tommy. Three thousand civilians live inside her grief as puppets, aware and screaming.
Agatha Harkness, a centuries-old witch, has been posing as a neighbour to learn how she does it. The answer: Wanda is the Scarlet Witch, a figure of prophecy in the Darkhold whose power exceeds the Sorcerer Supreme's and is not learned but innate.
Why is Wanda the Scarlet Witch and not, say, her brother? Because it isn't earned — it's what she always was. She was born with latent chaos magic; the Mind Stone experiments unlocked it rather than created it. The Darkhold names her as a being of prophecy whose power is innate rather than learned, which is why Agatha — a trained witch of several centuries — cannot match her.
America Chavez, a teenager who can punch holes between universes and cannot control it, is being hunted. The hunter is Wanda Maximoff, corrupted by the Darkhold, trying to steal America's power so she can travel to a universe where her children exist.
