Real Name: Wanda Maximoff

First Appearance: Uncanny X-Men #4 (Mar, 1964)

Creators: Stan Lee and Jack Kirby

Capsule: Wanda was born a mutant, with the power to alter probability fields. An European Gypsy, Wanda and her twin brother Pietro, also a mutant, suffered persecution from superstitious peasants. The pair of youngsters eventually came into the protection of Magneto, mutant master of magnetism and joined their Brotherhood of Mutants.

But Wanda never really believed Magneto's creed of mutant supremacy. She and her brother helped Magneto's enemies, the X-Men, whenever they could. They finally deserted Magneto to travel to America and join the supergroup known as the Avengers when many of their original members had taken leaves of absence.

Wanda enjoyed a long stint as an Avenger, becoming a more regular member than Pietro, even though like Quicksilver she too was given to psychological problems. It was also in the Avengers that she met the android Vision, who became her husband, and Wonder Man who became her lover for a while.
