#SCARLET WITCH WANDAVISION MOVIE#

For such a historically significant comic the story is surprisingly dull, mostly following Magneto on his quest to find out what happened to his kids, then confronting them and their spouses on the Blue Area of the Moon.ĭuring Ike Perlmutter’s much-publicized spat with Twentieth Century-Fox over the X-Men and Fantastic Four movie rights, this retcon got re-retconned out of existence, but now that the omnivorous Disney Sarlacc has devoured Fox whole, will it be re-ret-retconned? Has it already? Let me know in the comments.ġ1.

1 #4: Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself…! This comic adds yet another patch in the crazy quilt of Wanda and Quicksilver’s continuity by introducing the idea that Magneto is their father, presumably due to the genetic evidence of similar haircuts (on Pietro/Magneto’s side). What’s your least favorite superhero wedding, or alternately, favorite superhero birth? Let me know in the comments!ġ2.

#SCARLET WITCH WANDAVISION SERIES#

He gives this series a homey, almost romance comics-y vibe that really works. Richard Howell’s Campbell’s Soup Kids style isn’t for everybody, but I love it.

#SCARLET WITCH WANDAVISION ANDROID#

While Vision is occupied helping Wanda (Even an Android Can Lamaze), extended family members Magneto and Wonder Man have to defend the hospital. Like any important event in a superhero’s life, though, it is interrupted by supervillain shenanigans. This is a pretty good one, though the use of “climax” in the title, referring to the birth of Wanda’s twins (get it, double-sized), adds to the overall confusion about human reproduction that pervades this series. Superhero Birth issues fare slightly better.

2 #12: Double-Sized Climax! In writing this column I have discovered that Superhero Wedding issues are uniformly terrible- the wedding of our heroes being Exhibit A in fictive nuptial awfulness. Here’s my TOP 13 ISSUES OF VISION AND THE SCARLET WITCH – RANKED:ġ3. So, I thought I’d take us back to an earlier, simpler time when you could believe a robot and a mutant might find happiness in the suburbs. Did they owe him money? Brian Michael Bendis’ later Disassembled storyline hammers the nails into the coffin Byrne built by having Wanda destroy the Avengers with what he reveals are her “reality-warping” powers (though I’m surprised by how much I like Bendis’ story).

He was the first person to drive Wanda crazy and literally broke down Vision. In comics, things really started going downhill for Wanda when John Byrne rather spitefully undid her marriage in a West Coast Avengers run that out Alpha-Flighted his Alpha Flight in terms of sheer hero misery. “Hex bolts?” Hell is that? The MCU braintrust probably wisely made the Elizabeth Olsen version (also introduced in Age of Ultron) Jean Grey with Jazz Hands. Comics writers like doing this because of the sheer strangeness of her power set. WandaVision appears to be playing a lot with her tenuous grip on reality. Likewise, Scarlet Witch is the heroic daughter of the arch-villain Magneto, except for when she isn’t. ( Which also features a character co-created by Yours Truly.) Joss Whedon, regardless of his other flaws, did the world a service by providing a clean origin story for the Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron. They could undoubtedly relate to each other because they have two of the most convoluted backstories in superhero history. I’ve already told you about my fondness for Adam Strange and his Space Girlfriend as a goofy, romantic kid my fandom for the star-crossed love between the robot and the mutant is of a kind. The second, from 1985, drawn by Richard Howell and written by Steve Englehart - in whose Avengers run these two finally cashed in their mutual attraction and tied the knot - revolves around the Scarlet Witch’s… well, let’s call it her unexpected pregnancy. The first, from 1982, written by Bill Mantlo, features some of the best work of one of the unheralded artists of the 1980s and ’90s, Rick Leonardi. The trailers for the show feature Avengers paramours Wanda (Scarlet Witch) Maximoff and the Vision (no surname) trying to make a go at suburban bliss, the same theme as two Vision and the Scarlet Witch miniseries from the 1980s fondly remembered by me. With the imminent arrival of the MCU show WandaVision on Disney+, I thought I’d try something a little different for this column.

The TV show kicks off this week, so columnist Fred Van Lente takes a (wise)crack at bringing you the best of robot-mutant love…
