Scarlet Witch is easily one of the most overpowered members of The Avengers. If you are only familiar with her on-screen iteration, as depicted by Elizabeth Olson, you get a glimpse of some of that huge power, especially in the latest movie. During Infinity War not only does she manage to keep Thanos at bay with one hand, she also manages to destroy an Infinity Stone, something I didn’t even think could be done. I mean, we see Thor attempt to do it in The Dark World and if Mjolnir isn’t capable of doing it, what is? The answer is obviously Wanda Maximoff, who’s power set is so vaguely defined that she often acts as a Deus Ex Machina. Part mutant, part sorcerer, when the chips are down and she feels like doi𝐆ng something, there is hardly a force on Earth that can stop her.

So if you only know her from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or if you only have a passing knowledge of her power set from the comics, let us walk you through the dizzying array of stuff that she can do with her seemingly endless Chaos Magic. Also, keep in mind that her powers will♕ fluctuate wildly depending on the circumstance, or more accurately, the writer of the story, so sometimes she will seem weaker than you are used to, and other times, you’ll just laugh at her strength. Comic books can be pretty inconsistent.

25 🎐 Sometimes She Will Completely Rewrite All Of Re🎶ality

One of Scarlet Witch’s defining personality traits in the comics is that she is beautifully unbalanced. She routinely loses complete control of her mind and powers, which can result in a few interesting things. Sometimes she causes a mass extinction, other times she just zaps wh𓆉oever happens to be standing within thirty feet of her.

In one such case, she att🎀empts to keep the heroes of her new universe happy by granting them what they want most. Of course, this doesn’t work, but it was a nice attempt while it lasted.

24 Wanda Gaveജ Professor X The Ability To Walk Again

So when you want to appease the most powerful people in the world in an effort to lull them into compl🐻acency, the first thing ꦑyou do is look after the world’s most powerful psychic.

What makes this so incredibly impressive is that the best minds in the Marvel universe said it waꦑs impossible. This diagnosis came from trusted sources like Reed Richards, Hank Pym and even the mystical Doctor Strange🌸.

23 ⛎ She Bannished The Phoenix

The Phoenix Forcꦚe is a powerful entity that is usually contained inside Jean Grey, although it isn’t limited to that form. Whenever kicked out of one host, it will usually just hop into the next closest person, preferably one with already existing powers.

A surprising twist came when the Phoenix Force jumped from Scott Summers into Hope Summers (don’t ask). With Hope exerting more control than Scott ever could, she combined might with Wanda and the collectively💧 banished the Phoenix Force from the world with the worse “No More Phoenix ꦓForce.”

22 Demon Chthon Marked Her (And Gave Her Chaos) 💎 ꦺ

♏Most people vaguely familiar with𝔉 the comic book version of Scarlet Witch would assume her immense power comes from her parent, Magneto. When your Dad is one of the world’s most feared and powerful mutants, you’d assume that you’re going to inherit some bomb powers. But then why isn’t Quicksilver just as powerful?

Wanda’s lineage gets pretty muddled at times, so it is never clear if she is even Magneto’s daughter. What is clear is that she has been marked since birth by the demon Chthon to be a vessel for his vast and terrible Chaos Magi🍬c.

21 💞 She Has Incurable Power ꦇ

Due to her power stemming from Chthon and his Chaos Magic, and not strictly from her Mutant Genetics, itꦑ takes a twofold attack to depower her. If you were to e✨ver cure her Mutant gene, she would still be a massively accomplished sorcerer with the aid of an evil demon.

And if you wer🌳e ever to take away her magic (it can be done, apparently) then she would still be the daughter of Magneto (probably). This means that her natural ability to wield hexes wouldn't dissipate. Good luck trying to depower that.

20 Without A Brain Her Boܫdy Still Has ಌChaos Magic

The Eye of Agamotto is an incredibly powerful relic even outside of the MCU. While it isn't quite the Time Stone in the comics, the Eಌye is an immense source of wisdom, able to see through space, time, illusions, as well as manipulate m𒁃inds. It's Doctor Strange's go to gadget whenever he's bitten off more than he can chew.

In one classic showdown, Strange attempt to shut down Wanda's powers by shuꦛtting down her brain. He noticed that even with her mind blank, her body still emanated massive a✃mount of Chaos Magic.

19 ♓ 🦂 Trained By The Best

I'll be honest with you, I had to look up who the heck Agatha Harkness is. Apparently, she's just a wicked old wo🤡man with a lot of magic skill. She is also a onetime m🔜entor to the Scarlet Witch, training her in the ways of the mystic arts.

So coupling that with her training under Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange, it would seem that even without the gifts of being a mutant, and being touched by Chthon, she would still b🅘e a🌄 very formidable spell caster.

18 Beating Techꦯnology

In the comics, Ultron is made entirely of Adamantium, which means he is completely invulnerable to harm. It's the stuff that Wolverine's bones are 🎃m✨ade of, so you know, completely unbreakable. Which means that most foes have a hard time even inflicting a single iota of damage to him.

But as usual, robots are vulnerable to magic.

Much like when Kitty Pride phases through technology𒐪 to disrupt their circuitry, Wanda is able to pretty much shut off any technological equipment, which includes invulnerable robots ꦐlike Ultron.

17 ༺ Hex Bolt Is Like Cyclops

A reoccurring joke in the Marvel Universe is that nobody can properly verbalize what Wanda's powers are. Is she magic or a mutant? Does she move stuff, summon stuff, blast stuff? An awesome combination of the three? What we do k✅now is that her most commonly used move is the Hex Bolt, and she mostly uses it to blast people.

They function a lot li✨ke Cyclops' eye beams, in that they are a concentration of energy to produce a concussive blast. This can range anywhere from a light push to blowing a hole in a mountain.

16 What Can't She Do?! 𝕴 🌼

For the mos🦩t part, Scarlet Witch's Hex Bolts have been mostly used as the before mentioned energy blasts. That's when she is putting in her bare minimum effort and concentration. When she really focuses on the kind of mag🎃ic she is hurling at someone or something, the effects have a pretty wide spectrum.

The ♒Bolts have been seen with the ability to light things on fire from afar, which m♚akes sense. They can also do wackier stuff, like take all the air away from an area in order to suffocate someone.
