Development
Scarlet Witch (2015)
James Robinson viewed his Scarlet Witch series as an anthology that follows Wanda Maximoff's evolution into an occult detective, focusing on her character while intentionally distancing her from the complexities of her past in the Marvel universe. He emphasized the portrayal of witchcraft as a reflection of powerful women, enriched by the contributions of female artists, and highlighted the importance of family, particularly her relationship with her brother Pietro Maximoff. The narrative incorporates authentic spells and magic, offering a grounded interpretation distinct from titles featuring characters like Doctor Strange. Robinson aimed to deepen Wanda Maximoff's character development through her global adventures, ultimately envisioning her growth as a journey toward confidence and mastery, leading to a stronger identity as a solitary heroine rather than a return to her previous alliances with the Avengers.[36]
Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver (2024)
Steve Orlando said the Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver series features a dynamic narrative that pits the siblings against the Wizard and his newly formed army, the Frightful Four Hundred, driven by a formidable force in the Marvel Universe. The story delves into the Maximoffs' evolving relationship, particularly their complicated feelings toward their father, Magneto, highlighted by a letter containing his last wishes that influences their perspectives. Orlando emphasized the acknowledgment of their troubled histories and the emotional struggles stemming from their father's abuse, while Pietro Maximoff is portrayed with depth beyond his roles as Wanda Maximoff's twin or Magneto's son. The series features a Darkseid-level villain whose threat may extend to the multiverse, alongside striking visuals from artists Russell Dauterman and Lorenzo Tammetta. While primarily focused on the siblings, the narrative hints at potential appearances from other family members, such as their sister Polaris and possibly Billy and Tommy, as Orlando expressed enthusiasm for exploring their personal struggles, family dynamics, and external threats in a fresh and engaging way.[37]
Scarlet Witch (2024)
Steve Orlando described Scarlet Witch #1 as possessing a "cataclysmic" atmosphere, emphasizing that Wanda Maximoff's actions and the confidence she has regained lead to a dramatic confrontation with a cosmic force that jeopardizes both her existence and the fate of the planet. He commended artist Jacopo Camagni for his striking and graceful illustrations, which effectively capture the beauty of the unusual aspects of Maximoff's journey. While Orlando has not yet confirmed the series' legacy numbering, he expressed optimism about its potential inclusion in the future. He underscored the significance of Maximoff's character development, suggesting that her struggles to assert her worth and independence are pivotal themes, and hinted at a new manifestation of her powers that will be unveiled later in the series.[38]
