HOUSE OF M 'Scarlet Witch Saga' | Fan Trailer | Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson

The most infamous storyline regarding Scarlet Witch is unarguably House of M as it showed how unimaginably powerful she is while also depicting the catastrophic consequences of a being with vast amounts of power wielding their abilities without restraint. However, while the event made Scarlet Witch out to be a villain, House of M actually helped her become a better hero.

Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch made her debut in the Marvel Universe as a villain who worked for Magneto alongside the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. As time went on, however, Scarlet Witch proved to be a better hero than she ever was a villain after she joined the Avengers and used her hex magic and reality manipulation powers for good. Behind the scenes of every one of her comic appearances, however, Scarlet Witch’s mental health was slowly deteriorating, something that finally became apparent leading up to the Marvel Comics event House of M. In that storyline, Scarlet Witch creates a world where Magneto is the ruler of the Earth and mutants reign supreme, but after even granting Magneto absolute power isn’t enough for him to love her, Scarlet Witch utters the now infamous phrase, “No more mutants” and erases most of the mutant population from the Earth. Since then, Wanda has made significant efforts to make up for her crimes against the mutant community and has shown that she has learned from the mistakes of her past in a truly profound way.
